    6 years ago I decided to live a healthy life, I went to a clinic to get help.
    At that time I listened to this song and imagined what it would be like to be healthy.
    6 years later (2 years clean)
    Everything is so much better than I dreamed it would be.
    Believe in you there is a better life waiting for you💫

      he was lucky to get the chance he had and nobody likes a foul mouthed big headed lout which is what he was.

    po przesłuchaniu tej piosenki mam ochotę na bardzo długi komentarz...
    Po pierwsze we współczesnej muzyce jest coraz mniej takich piosenek, które są dominowane przez imprezowe hity.
    Po drugie bardzo prawdziwy tekst, który oddaje współczesny świat. James nie boi się pokazać, że na świecie jest dużo zła i bólu.
    Po trzecie jak zawsze niesamowity głos Jamesa. Od chwili kiedy wygrał X-Factora śledzę jego karierę i ciesze się nowymi piosenkami.
    Pozdrowionka dla wszystkich fanów Jamesa

    • @MrPieroog90

      Wydaje mi się, że to przez taki typ muzyki. Pop zazwyczaj kojarzył się właśnie z muzyką imprezową. Jak szukasz piosenek z przekazem to szukaj raczej w innych gatunkach, nie będę tu pisał w jakiej żeby oszczędzić sobie hejtów.

    • @didikris2263
      @didikris2263 10 лет назад +8

      Ta piosenka nie jest o tym "że na świecie jest dużo zła i bólu", tylko o tym, że w X-factorze zrobili z niego małpkę, wszyscy dookoła nagle zaczęli się nim interesować (a wielu krtykować, okazywać nienawiść, której nie mógł zrozumieć i zastanawia się, jak on mógł być kiedyś taki wymagający, jak ci hejterzy teraz wobec niego), przygniotło go to, miał depresję i teraz powstaje.

    I don't wanna stay here
    Like rain on a Monday morning
    Like pain that just keeps on going on

    Look at all the stones they keep on throwing

    In the oceans of me
    I defined
    I designed
    My recovery
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    My recovery
    [Verse 2]
    And I can hear the choirs keep on singing
    Tell me what they’re saying
    And I can hear the phone
    It keeps on ringing
    I don’t want to answer
    I know that I used to listen

    The reason why we all adore his music so much is because you can FEEL the authenticity. I doubt that there's one human being on this planet that hasn't experienced something he sings about. We feel his pain, because every one of us has felt pain. We feel his enthusiasm, because every one of us has felt the feeling of falling in love, or doing something we love. We can relate to him because (for the longest time), we've not truly felt emotion from music. And he gives that to us. He's a TRUE artist.

      Paige Music those words can be very triggering for an alcoholic. They are not cured as well as can never be cured from alcoholism. Many relapses happen because they think now that they can “control it” because they have so far. They think they are cured when in reality, they cannot be. They have a gene that will never go away. So saying those words may trigger them to believe they are cured :/

    This song might even change my life for the better as I am about to have another go at 'recovery' after a relapse from drug and alcohol abuse. And being a musician myself, one of artistic and self proclaimed "I have insight into life itself", as we all do under the influence of drugs and alcohol....weather that be true or not...it is what we see in the 'straight mind' that truly defines us.
    It can be bloody hard, I'll tell you that...but when achieved, tis a joy to sit on that mountain of "Recovery".

As he sings this, I realize I have a lot in common with the song. I design my own recovery; this song defines depression perfectly. I have major depression and this song just releases the pain I feel. Thank you for writing this song and many others.

I sang and sang shaking and crying the full song There's only two doors and two flights of 10 steps that separate me from downstairs. Everyone knew me at school, but only four people knew why I wasnt at school for two weeks, but everyone came upstairs and saw me and started to hug me and others cried.

    As a recovering addict in this video he paints a picture in words emotion and sound the struggle !
    Hes a brilliant wordsmith singer/ songwriter ... but he writes from the heart and his latest song medicine is just as powerful .
    I think james struggle are the powerful catylist behind his musical expression... its wonderful to see this young man fighting his wars and hopefully winning ! Keep fighting on james and keep making your beautiful powerful music ❤️❤️

      @@okandnowlol9947 I'm so sorry for the late reply. James Arthur is a fighter, he has fought through his anxiety and mental health every single day and it is really hard, when you don't meet a person's standards, but he did. He hasn't had an easy life, where his parents got divorced, he has had it tough. He has struggled with depression and I feel for him, because I know how it feels to be living with that. It ain't easy and I'm so glad he made it out! He fought and fought and he made it out! I respect him so much, because he has been in the same situation as me and just by listening to his song's from time to time. It makes me a stronger women every single day. He has fought through mental health and I'm really happy for him to have got the recovery he needed. As you listen to his song's it says "I've broken down walls". This means that he has broken all bits of pieces that were hurting him in his soul, body and mind. I know I'm not alone in this, it is really hard and I'm just glad he got the help he needed:)
      He is a true warrior, god bless him!!
      I'm so happy he shared his journey with us!

    LYRICS
    I don't want to play this game no more
    I don't wanna play it
    I don't want to stay 'round here no more
    I don't wanna stay here
    Like rain on a Monday morning
    Like pain that just keeps on going on
    Look at all the hate they keep on showing
    I don't want to see that
    Look at all the stones they keep on throwing
    I don't want to feel that
    Like sun that will keep on burning
    I used to be so discerning, oh
    In my recovery
    I'm a soldier at war
    I have broken down walls
    I defined
    I designed
    My recovery
    In the sound of the sea
    In the oceans of me
    I defined
    I designed
    My recovery
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    My recovery, my recovery
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    My recovery
    And I can hear the choirs keep on singing
    Tell me what they're saying
    And I can hear the phone
    It keeps on ringing
    I don't want to answer
    I know that I used to listen
    And I know I've become dismissive
    In my recovery
    I'm a soldier at war
    I have broken down walls
    I defined
    I designed
    My recovery
    In the sound of the sea
    In the oceans of me
    I defined
    I designed
    My recovery
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    My recovery, my recovery
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    My recovery
    In my recovery
    I'm a soldier at war
    I have broken down walls
    I defined
    I designed
    My recovery
    In the sound of the sea
    In the oceans of me
    I defined
    I designed
    My recovery
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing
    Keep soaring
    Keep song-writing

      Nina R Listen Oh! clueless one. Lucy Spraggan, who's comments started all the hassle, after James made that comment to rapper Micky Worthless. in a rap. Came out publicly and defended James saying, no way is James homophobic. But felt his comments were out of place in todays society. Which is quite correct. Also during X-factor shows, James roomed
      with Ryland Clark for 10 weeks, and BTW, became best mates. Ryland also came out publicly, and also defended James, stating, James is not homophobic, he's just a silly boy doing what he did.
