I think James needs to cut himself some slack, like it was his first song that he released so maybe he thinks the chord progression is basic and the song sounds too thin but it was his first song and I think he's gotten so much better at writing music but his first song is better than anything I could ever come up with.
As a fellow musician I understand what he's saying. But i think if he feels so deeply for the lyrics and certain parts of the instrumental, he should re-release the song so it fits in with his vibe or completely strip it back.
I totally get what you mean, the way you describe it makes me imagine something like this two-track single I know called Regurgitated by Declan McKenna. I love the original version of Basic actually which was re-recorded in the 2nd track, but then the re-recorded version sounds so different in a good way, full of lively rock vibes and proves it's really possible for an old song to be rebirthed
It was his first song he ever released and he liked it at the time. But since releasing more music and progressing as an artist he's realised the song wasn't as good as he thought at the time.
Artist also start hating their music when it gets overplayed and over mentioned. DOJA disliked “say so” for a long time since she had to perform it often at award shows and such, but instead of declining to sing it, she actually changed the way she would sing “say so” like 2 different times during live Award show performances. My favorite is definitely her Rock version of say so. The visuals she did for that performance were amazing too! She also really hates her first song “so high” she said “it has some of the laziest lyrics she’s ever written” LOL. I think its natural for an artist to start to dislike their songs when a certain few gain more traction than others, the same way when every one dislikes an overplayed song on the radio. Lol
I still love Slow Down, everytime I watch Scooby Doo I think of it.
Cant believe Scooby doo used the song slow down
It's crazy that it's the live action movies main song
What’s George gonna use to replace copyrighted music in movies if it’s removed now?? He’ll be distraught!
he'll have to use... a good one of james' songs
He'll use him
lmao
I really hope he does keep it. It’s shows how much he has developed and grown.
i love it ngl

Why doesn’t he just remaster it 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

The Alvin cover is so good
He’s valid for that though cause him is light years above slow down
I love all his songs but I still think this ones my favourite just as a fan, not a critic.
Remaster to show improvement would be an amazing option
Calling is an absolute banger and is one of his best
IMO, he should remake it.
I’m like 5 months late but, a lot of artists’ most “liked” or popular song is not the one they are most proud of
i love slow down it’s so good
bro this and him are my fave james songs
Yk Radiohead hated Creep…
yeah causde it's one of their worst songs
Interesting
fuck what anyone says i love this song so much,, like since it got released its one of my faves of his,,
it sounds like mid singing over geometry dash music
Ngl slow down was the only one of his songs I heard and I didn’t like it
yeah but he’s improved and grown and that’s the important part
In Wake Up! and Him, you can really see his improvement in finding his sound
@@dxsolate yeah I’ll probably give it a listen just listened to slow down because it was in my recommendations
Insanely bad first impression to be frank, try again but start with songs from the album Bitter Tongues in any order
Name checks out
The fact this has 22k views
Mr Marriott still hasn't listened to my Slow Down remix:(
Good, I wish I didn't either. It's worse than the original song itself.
@@FivesFigures damn bro
@@FivesFigures thanks dick head I made that when slow down came out
Omg this is nice James wtf
It's not terrible, i like the guitar solo and violin part of it a lot, I just think he sounds too autotuned
based
Remake slow down
slow down is so good i will not listen to this slander…
no disrespect, but i've never liked the song ever since it came out. it sounds like background music from a roblox game.
lmaoo
bro does NOT like slow down
Because it makes him realize he's pretentious hack?
Eddit: Holly shit I was basically right! "It's not fully mine"?? Oh my God!
Why does this make him pretentious? (Genuinely asking, I'm not trying to start an argument)
I mean...that makes sense,it doesn't feel like a representation of HIS music.
@@transorm987 because he's le-author and all of this isn't some pop-junk for an extra buck
Why release the song if you don't like it yourself then.
It was his first song he ever released and he liked it at the time. But since releasing more music and progressing as an artist he's realised the song wasn't as good as he thought at the time.
@@aliceisntthere fair enough
