I found out about this guy from an Internet article 5 months ago, and still can't get it out of my head. That powerhouse vocal range, heartbreaking lyrics and impactful sense of soul are just beyond words. Bay, along with The 1975, Hozier, and Bad Suns, is the best thing that happens in music this year.
You should check out Villagers - Nothing Arrived (Life From Spotify London), Simon Herron - A September Song, Ciaran Lavery - Left For America, and Saturday Sun - Seagull. Luke Sital-Singh and Josh Record is worth checking out as well.
We all are trying to let it go.....heartache, despair, the past.....redefine yourself. Have the courage to be yourself. That's my mission. Love to all. Thank you James. ox
A few days ago I had never even heard of James Bay. I caught his performance on a late show. I was captivated by his voice and the lyrics to this song.......its so emotional. I am living this pain in my life. Thank you James for helping me to let it go.......so I can be me.
I hope that the fact that the title of this song is "Let It Go" (just like the song from Disney's Frozen) will help him get more views. He deserves more fans...he is out of this world! So under appreciated!
There is no stopping this train...no marketing, no filters, no auto tune...the most simple way to fight the big machine in the music business, if that's your game...write and sing like him. Outperform the industry standard. Sounds like home to my ears.
Just saw James Bay tonight, he opened up for Hozier at the Metro in Chicago. I hadn't heard of him before tonight but I think I would have been satisfied just by his performance alone. His voice is even more amazing live. How to see him again in the future.
Any artist that can sing a song with just a guitar and his voice & its this good, will have his name recognized. It won't take long and he definitely deserves it.
I love this song, I love his voice, I love his talent, I love it acoustic! I love everything about it! In my opinion I love the acoustic version better! This is pure talent! James is incredible! I fell in love the first time I heard it on the radio and immediately got home and searched up the a bunch of titles to find the song and the artist, when I found it I spent at least an hour sitting there with shivers crawling up and down my spine! Incredible!💕
This video is exactly one year old today! Thank you to all 1,627,967 of you who have watched it so far! Make sure you subscribe to see loads more videos like this!
Saw him in NY East Village in June 2014 in a small club, we were like max 100, he wasn't famous at that time.. and it is probably one of the most amazing show i've seen in the last years... what a great performer, such an incredible voice... Great video for a great artist.. thanks Christian for sharing...
4,000,000 views, insane, thanks so much to everyone who has watched! James and I just released a new video on my channel of a solo version of Craving to celebrate the 4 million views!
+Christian Tierney such a simple video and James has such tender talent. Thank you for giving this video to us, his songs are gifts and this one you have beautifully wrapped and delivered :-)
I first heard James Bay in 2013 from an episode of Beauty and the Beast. I searched the internet for two days until I found the Stealing Cars. I love that songs and his whole album. I think his voice is truly amazing and was kissed by an angel. I wish him much success in his career.
Also would like to know...Have you uploaded more vids from James Bay live sessions? I don't see any others than this one. Thanks for letting me know. I adore all his music/songs Hes simply Musical Magic! Artist that are magical are few and far between but he is so talented w/beautiful gift of writing+singing/vocals! xx
Even after 10 years, this version in particular catches me so much that it tears me up inside and I feel so deeply sad that I have to cry! James Bay has an incredibly beautiful voice!
I read your views at first as 60 million, but was disappointed by the realisation. This song is truly BEAUTIFUL. It summarises life, it doesn't imply sex, girls, or anything inappropriate. A just-right song. Xxx
Rarely do I find a song that makes me melt. This is a rare occasion. I can't remember where I heard this one, but I heard it inn the radio the other day and wrote down the lyrics and looked them up on RUclips and just wow. ❤
Hey...I discovered this song randomly on youtube a few months ago when I was going through a really difficult family situation...the words were so appropriate and I was really moved. Thank you so much for this beautiful song!
So beautifully heartbreaking and it teared me up the very first time I listened to this song. His vocal range is perfect and I love the way he control his voice throughout this song as well as putting so much feelings while singing this song. It was so great to find him accidentally at RUclips. He is definitely would be one of my favourite alongside with Ed Sheeran, Hozier, Sam Smith, The 1975 & Ella Henderson.
you did great last night on Seth Meyer's late night. here (in Québec, Canada), (James Bay is one of our major hydroelectric site that feeds nearly the whole province + with electricity). I wish your career as successful and 'electrifying' as our James Bay. have a nice day :)
Woke up feeling melancholy and found this video in my inbox from a long lost friend... the Universe always provides you with what you need exactly when you need it. Light and Love everyone!
For an artist with so many views, Mr, Bay's performances are pretty unremarkable. Not sure what, if anything, can be seen here that isn't playing at the local coffeehouse each Saturday night.
This is such a wonderful video. James Bay put on such a great show at the Academy 2 a few nights ago... This is my favouite song of his right now! Thanks for sharing

Finally... A GOOD song called 'Let It Go'...
The Neighbourhood's
Jade Tremblay That's a great song too!
+R Wright YES!
The NBHD, though..
SHOTS FIRED

Thanks for watching! I love those artists too, I'm planning to film some videos with them soon so make sure you subscribe to see them first!

Kriss K Not too shabby. Seagull is my instant favorite.
Conor Scott is worth listening :)
Omg yes! My fave muscians right there! You have good taste my friend
James Bay is an old soul, to be able to perform with such emotion so young. What a star
Agreed!! Old beautiful young soul :)
You deserve all the likes my friend
James Bay is a true musician...pure talent and beautiful lyrics....dude kills it
This song gives me teary eyes. Man I'm in so much pain.
Aw, I hope whatever is giving you pain goes away. Have a great day. :)
I have been there, it's important to see the good in the little things. Music saves :-)
This too shall pass. I often think of this. In good and bad times. Feel better soon. :) and keep listening to James Bay.
luv u bro
I hope you're doing better now.
James Bay? More like "James Bae". That voice + his face & hair = dayum.
@Clara J and do you still feel the same now ?
i- Alright
Holy fuck. This is the shit music today has been desperately needing.
We all are trying to let it go.....heartache, despair, the past.....redefine yourself. Have the courage to be yourself. That's my mission. Love to all. Thank you James. ox
Well said x
Why isn't James Bay on superstar status .?
brand new:)
He'll be there soon.
Cause he's talented
He is lacking pajaz and fancy clothes. He's still underground. ;) fortunately. I like it.
Just like Hozier.
Officially new '2 am listen on repeat' song.
Thank you James bay ❤️
Thanks for watching Anushri!
Christian Tierney thank you for posting :)
Heard this on the radio and had to hear more. So here I am enjoying the visuals, vocals, and emotions. Mad talent!
Rarely do I find the live version better but this guy is one of the few.
I really have no idea why I haven't discovered this before. This is beyond amazing. It's just pure perfection.
Chills all over my body

just heard this on the radio for the first time. I did not know this song has been around for over 2 yrs! I'm going to start looking up more James Bay
Mind blown. What a gorgeous voice! This kid is going places.
World needs more artists like James Bay
Just saw James Bay tonight, he opened up for Hozier at the Metro in Chicago. I hadn't heard of him before tonight but I think I would have been satisfied just by his performance alone. His voice is even more amazing live. How to see him again in the future.
He was amazing
"I used to recognize myself... it's funny how reflections change."
That, my friends, is the true power of the pen.
Bravo.
Another exceptionally talented singer songwriter fresh out of the United Kingdom. This song has hit written all over it.
Any artist that can sing a song with just a guitar and his voice & its this good, will have his name recognized. It won't take long and he definitely deserves it.
Wow. James Bay is simply an incredible musician with a hold load of talent in front of him. One of the best. Goosebumps every time I hear this song.
Can't believe I just started hearing this song in 2016. You guys are amazing
DID HE JUST PLAY MOST OF THAT SONG WITH HIS EYES CLOSED. this guy is absolutely amazing
This is hands down the most amazing song and performance i have ever heard...
You have a lot to hear then.
The presence of these emotions and the connection is unbelievable. Stunning.
I love this song, I love his voice, I love his talent, I love it acoustic! I love everything about it! In my opinion I love the acoustic version better! This is pure talent! James is incredible! I fell in love the first time I heard it on the radio and immediately got home and searched up the a bunch of titles to find the song and the artist, when I found it I spent at least an hour sitting there with shivers crawling up and down my spine!

i think 692 were deaf who dislike such a beautiful song
I've never heard someone who has such a naturally beautiful voice I mean wow
I love this. His voice, the song in general... perfect.
+Liliann Novak-Winchester basically^^
On repeat... This song and his voice is unreal.
Damn! Your voice is what I call #Magical That was fabulous! Keep rockin'
Also would like to know...Have you uploaded more vids from James Bay live sessions? I don't see any others than this one. Thanks for letting me know. I adore all his music/songs Hes simply Musical Magic! Artist that are magical are few and far between but he is so talented w/beautiful gift of writing+singing/vocals! xx
How is it possible to sound so great without a band, he doesn't need more than his nice guitar. Any added sound would destroy this mood.
this guy needs more attention... truly amazing voice and music.... what a talent
This guy gives me chills ... UGH! He's amazing!
True talent. Love this song.
This guy makes music look so damn good. Mad respect, keep doing you James Bay! Money and stardom doesn't determine your success.
Such beautiful music deserves so much attention.
James, you are perfect. Don't ever change.
People in this kind of relationship need to do exactly what he’s saying. I’ve been there, a long time ago, now. It wasn’t good.
Agree. Been doing this for 20 years. What a waste of time.
so lucky to have seen this guy 3 times already, and he gets better every time.
my favorite male artist voice
I love him
James Bey has the most beautiful voice ever im addicted to Chaos And The Calm its heaven 😊
Congratulations on the grammy nominations!
Oh my God, this is pure perfection. I could listen this amazing voice the whole day. I'm speechless.
He's an amazing new artist... I am a huge fan!!!
The reactions I get when I tell people my favorite song right now is called Let It Go
Even after 10 years, this version in particular catches me so much that it tears me up inside and I feel so deeply sad that I have to cry! James Bay has an incredibly beautiful voice!
I'm glad Tanya recommended you, I love your voice!
James Bay is perfection..
This is an amazingly beautiful song.
I'm so in love with this song, his lyrics, and his voice. ugh!
This is my favorite version of this song. I like it better than tha VEVO video and I play it on loop often. (;
this is the singer from the vevo video :l
Made me cry. Just beautiful.
That was absolutely gorgeous!
I read your views at first as 60 million, but was disappointed by the realisation. This song is truly BEAUTIFUL. It summarises life, it doesn't imply sex, girls, or anything inappropriate. A just-right song. Xxx
I had to check out this song once I heard it on The Vampire Diaries!
yes me to I search and search until I found it and I love it
Same with me. Heard it on vampire diaries so I had to check it out
Rarely do I find a song that makes me melt. This is a rare occasion. I can't remember where I heard this one, but I heard it inn the radio the other day and wrote down the lyrics and looked them up on RUclips and just wow. ❤
This guy has a beautiful soul..
I may be late but this voice is proof that we are magical creatures.
Amazing voice. Sends me chills x
This may be the best song I have ever heard. His voice is strong and gentle at the same time and I am in love.
for every person on the planet " why don't you be you, and i'll be me". -James Bay
Lauren beyer Everything's that's broke leave it to the breeze!!!
2023 more people should have heard this version of the song
Holla at Christian, This boy is the

Holla at you Angel! Thanks for watching
Amen James...I see stars in my head. I can't wait until your album comes out next week!

Talent is the only word that comes to mind. Can't wait to see him in Seattle
still watching in 2017. Love you James Bay
Pure God given talent. This song is amazing. This artist is amazing. You warmed my heart today James Bay.

Yeap, sing for my own right?

Beautiful song great lyrics love this guy
For an artist with so many views, Mr, Bay's performances are pretty unremarkable. Not sure what, if anything, can be seen here that isn't playing at the local coffeehouse each Saturday night.
This is such a wonderful video.
James Bay put on such a great show at the Academy 2 a few nights ago...
This is my favouite song of his right now!
Thanks for sharing
this song is about two years ago, and only now i heard it on the radio, god,why?
How can someone dislike this?! Amazing talent
his hair, voice, and dimples are perfection.
This song makes me cry... I'm depressed. But this song makes my sadness sweet. If that makes any sense.
Oh my sweet Jesus. His voice is life.
i am in love with this song. very well done :)
Great song. Never heard of James Bay until i was listening to xm radio. Good stuff
this song makes me cry.....buh ts sweet....very deep....i love it
Got completely lost in your music. It helps to forget about problems, think and be creative. Thank you, you're great!
