    Anyone else think scars never got the attention it deserves. I honestly think in my 32 years I've never had a song mean so much to me.

    I just love how this is so raw. So real. Kind of intimate also. Just his (amazing) voice and guitar.
    Pure talent, James.

    Scars:
    You're setting off,
    It's time to go, the engine's running
    My mind is lost,
    We always knew this day was coming
    And now it's more frightening than it's ever gonna be
    We grow apart,
    I watch you on the red horizon
    Your lion's heart
    Will protect you under stormy skies
    And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears
    And as soon as I can hold you once again
    I won't let go of you, I swear
    We lived through scars this time
    But I've made up my mind
    We can't leave us behind anymore
    Your hands are cold,
    Your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
    This fragile heart,
    So heavy in my chest, it's breaking
    And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me
    But you're miles away,
    You're breaking up, you're on your own
    It's hard to take,
    I need an hour just to say hello
    But I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me
    And for all the pennies in your pocket
    We barely get a second just to speak
    We lived through scars this time
    But I've made up my mind
    We can't leave us behind anymore
    We'll have to hurt for now
    But next time there's no doubt
    'Cause I can't go without you anymore
    Oh, no, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh
    Yeah yeah
    We lived through scars this time
    But I've made up my mind
    No, we can't leave us behind anymore
    We'll have to hurt for now
    But next time, there's no doubt
    'Cause I can't go without you anymore
    No I can't go without you anymore

    The way he sings Scars in this version is so much more, idk, effective. He doesnt use a powerful belt on the first chorus like he did in the recording but dials it down a notch with a more soft and subtle sound so the second chorus hits it all the way! I’m dead

    The way he is effortlessly talented,charming,attractive and has a beatiful character and voice .Hands down James Bay deserves more but you know a part of me quite okay with that sincere fan mass and feel like if he is gonna get more recognation not him but his work will lose the value even tho it's not even a deal.

I sing your lyrics when family members have died, when I've gone off and got cancer, through everything. Sometimes your lyrics bring me to bits. But then, we have to stand, and fight for even more. Thanks James, stay safe, and bring us more. Fame is bigger than money. It's who's gonna bring the masses through. You've certainly done that for me. My only hope is that it's much much more. Love ya mate!

    I have little interest in soccer, but Peter Crouch's volley shot is certainly beautiful.
    And it conveys the feeling that he is enjoying his overhead shoot. A good player.
    Crystal Palace Football Club is the most passionate team supported by British people in Japanese sports bars.
    He is cheering at the TV while hitting the desk with both fists and making a loud voice. Even in Japan, people who love soccer are passionate. I'm not good at loud voices.

    私はほとんどサッカーに興味はないが、確かにピータークラウチのボレーシュートは美しい。
    そして彼のオーバーヘッドシュートは楽しんでいるという気持ちが伝わってくる。良い選手だ。
    日本のスポーツバーで、イギリス人の応援が一番情熱的なチームはCrystal Palace Football Clubだ。
    机を両こぶしでたたいて大声を出しながら、テレビに向かってつ応援している。日本でもサッカー好きな人達は情熱的だ。私は大きな声が苦手だ。

    Absolutely love seeing these more intimate shares/performances from these artists. Getting to peel back a layer or two to know what's actually behind the song and who they actually are. I always come out with a new level of respect for the person and their craft -- especially when his voice is still so true on such a raw and naked recording.

    Sometimes I'm beaten
    Sometimes I'm broken
    'Cause sometimes this is nothing but smoke
    Is there a secret?
    Is there a code?
    Can we make it better?
    'Cause I'm losing hope
    Tell me how to be in this world
    Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
    Tell me how could I believe in something
    I believe in us
    After the wreckage
    After the dust
    I still hear the howling, I still feel the rush
    Over the riots, above all the noise
    Through all the worry, I still hear your voice
    So, tell me how to be in this world
    Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
    Tell me how 'cause I believe in something
    I believe in us
    Tell me when the light goes out
    That even in the dark we will find a way out
    Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
    I believe in us
    Used to be kids living just for kicks
    In cinema seats, learning how to kiss
    Running through streets that were painted gold
    We never believed we'd grow up like this
    So tell me how to be in this world
    Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt
    Tell me how 'cause I believe in something
    I believe in us
    Tell me when the light goes out
    That even in the dark we can find a way out
    Tell me now 'cause I believe in something
    I believe in us
    I believe in something
    And I believe in us

    First seen him when he supported Kodaline in 2014. Never heard of him before but was blown away. Sensational.
