The guitar... the voice. It's like the sound of loneliness and heartache.

live sounds the same as a studio😍😍😍

This is actually one of the most beautiful love songs I've ever heard. A tender request to just let go.

His voice is just so fucking beautiful.

Sometimes a song is just pure magic. This is one of those times.

No autotunes and stuffs. Just pure talent.

Once in a lifetime, a very special singer comes along... I am 52 years old, like many kinds of music, but this young man is so unique. I cannot find the words, just too good for words... I hope we all may enjoy Mr. Bay for a long, long time.

his voice is heaven. i love it so much

His voice absolutely resonates with every heart ever broken.

What an incredible musician! All these young British singers are brilliant!

Imagine someone writing this song to you when breaking up😭 You’d never want to leave❤️

James Bay is so damn underrated...!! He deserves so much more...!!

"Let the Ashes fall" gives me chills every single time.

From walking home and talking loads To seeing shows in evening clothes with you From nervous touch and getting drunk To staying up and waking up with you Now we're slipping near the edge Holding something we don't need All this delusion in our heads Is gonna bring us to our knees So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you And I'll be me? And I'll be me From throwing clothes across the floor To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you If this is all we're living for Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore? I used to recognize myself It's funny how reflections change When we're becoming something else I think it's time to walk away So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you And I'll be me And I'll be me Tryna fit your hand inside of mine When we know it just don't belong There's no force on earth Could make me feel right, no Tryna push this problem up the hill When it's just too heavy to hold Think now is the time to let it slide So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Let the ashes fall Forget about me Come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me? And I'll be me

I cherish the moments he doesn't wear a hat😊.

That voice! Sounds even better live! An outcry of heartbreak in an artistic melody filled with manly emotions.

Any guitarist/singer knows how extremely difficult this is to play and sing let alone come up with. Insanely talented.

I kept hurt and pain hidden for a long time, joy also. It must be that our emotions, good or bad, are all part of 1 “thing”. I dunno. Anyway, it took years for me to get like that, see I didn’t really notice, I was basically numb. Then I relaxed in bed 1 night and really listened to James Bay through my headphones: like a limb waking from pins and needles, I started to hurt, feel, then cry. It wasn’t bad though, because I could feel again. Music can do so much if you let it. He will never read this but, thank you so much James. Your gift basically bought me back to life. I’ll be forever grateful.

I'll never get tired of that guitar.

Oh so he really CAN sing that good. Damn. Gives me chills.

This song cannot be more real, it’s exactly how I feel right now unfortunately, heartbreak sucks and I’m going through one guys ☹️

This song is still breaking my heart after all these years.

Its been 7 years,7 long years now,still attached to this song,playing it every day since rhose hard and tiring days up to now,its not about heartache for me,it about struggles,pain,regrets,disappointments,high hopes,depressions,its about i should've and would've,its about fixing the past while fighting the present and fearing for future,this song reminds me everytime

Man he sings exactly like the studio version. ❣️🙏

Watched him last Friday at the Brixton academy. Truly phenomenal performance and what a great venue. I am 63 and was astonished at his vocal ability

I'll never get tired of this song

This dude sings clean live. Very superb.

The heart seems like reducing to dust as we listen to it... I really don't know how to use words to explain... James, you help me be a better person.Thank you for it. Bless you...

Amazing voice!!!! Chill time when I'm driving😀

Didn't know Cavani was this good

I think I'm never getting over this song

Aaaaah.music still exists now a days!

Good Lord he can play a guitar, do you see his hands? The ability to do that, and sing at the same time? Wow.

This guys voice is so beautiful, I can listen to it all day

James Bay and this piece really do make the perfect winning combination.

His smile at the very end is sweet...

I can hear the guitar all day so perfect

One day James...One day you will get all the recognition that you deserves.... You are just awesome.. ❤💙❤💙❤💙❤💙from INDIA

What captured me to get hook on this song is the guitar's fascinating melody, that vibe...& Then the lyrics & James voice... Wonderful 💯♥️

this is possibly his most moving and best performance live

The way he sings and plays the guitar. It's beautiful to listen to and watch at the same time. His soul is so into it. Felt it, man. 😭💔🎶

Amazing vocals, amazing lyrics...love this guy

Been playing this on repeat. Total eargasm.

What a heartbreak song. I can't believe how hard it hit me...

What a song! What a voice! What a musician! 💝 I just can't let it gooo..

I gave you all I have to give. I loved you more than myself. I lost myself along the way. I adapted to you and your lifestyle, but I wasn't enough for you. I'm sorry. I hope you find happiness. I still love you.

Never getting over this song…. PHEW🔥🔥🔥

he is something else man. i was shocked when i hear his singing because it is exactly the same !!

Lewis, in this World,no man had emotions, I was born in 1954, in Suffolk England, I love music,but, Lewis,you have taken my breath,away,your song sings,a man in love,!!!! Maybe some men,can really find love, listening to your music,men have to be taught emotions, love

He’s so talented..beautiful voice

It is September 2023, and here I am..... LOVE THIS

Bay you’re so incredible. Love this song you and Berry wrote but damn rips my heart out and slams it on the floor till all I’m doing is crying. Ha That’s what makes a great song. Thank you for sharing your gift with the planet. Hugs from Ohio

This music is the new British Soul music.

Ever since I found this song online, I've become a huge fan of James' work.

That smile at the end,..........

wow, he's amazing

My son is a guitarist and he said this is so hard to play. Fantastic musician such a beautiful song! I love James Bay.

"Anyone else 'still' listening in during 2021, to this corker?"

the sound of the guitar... uff

It's so much more beautiful when he belts it out instead of singing softly.

Well now BBC better invite him back to actually cover the Beatles' 'Let It Be'

one of the best singer songwriters out there!!

Gold. I will never put this song out of my favourite of list song ever

Best vibe i ever had before i smoked a joint 🥦 was in a constant chill high for about 20 minutes audio thru AirPods 2 👌, very good high quality audio capture BBCRadio1 ❤️ enjoyed it with both of my ears ✌🏾

Its greatness when your emotion blends w/ your instrument.

Oh I love that dreamy guitar riff

This is sheer musical perfection

When you come here because you think James Bay has done an amazing cover of a Beatles song, but really Radio 1 have reposted his version of 'Let it go' and mistaken the word "go" for "be"...

THIS IS BEAUTIFL

It's the sound of what once was love, coming to an end

Here we are in 2020 still fkn crying to this song...

I love this guy and his music. Such an amazing talent. For me he‘s one of the best artists of these days... i can‘t stop listen to this song!

Outstanding vocals !! Outstanding talent !!

This song makes me FEEL. Especially the first verse 🥹 dreamy

I miss the old James Bay

I love his voice. I play this song endlessly!

Omg hes so good it's amazing

Love James Bay- saw him in Nashville at the Ryman

Who’s listening in 2020 #stayathome?

LOVE LOVE LOVE this amazing song ‼️A masterpiece. ❤️🎹🎶💜☮️

I remember first being showed this by my cousin. R.I.P Cameron. Love you bud.

When talent existed! No auto tunes just years and years of crafting. Im so thankful we have this as a Time Machine.

Its been 4 years and still lovin this song.

I’m obsessed with him and this song ….

This is literally perfect. Bravo

Who the hell broke his heart? :(

Incredible performance 😱🔥❤️

He's so amazing. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM IN A MONTH!

that song, his voice!

His voice. Aaahhh. Soooo perfect! ❤❤❤

James Bay is heaven sent😍 I'd like to see a collabo of you and Mr Sheeran

Still beautiful....2022 he's back....♥️

These songs make me feel on a level that is unparalleled. Complex emotions that I run from during the day, on a consistent basis. It's 2am Eastern Standard Time. I can't sleep again. I have hardly done any of that , since I called it quits. The idea we could work is a delusion. I could send you a million spiteful texts , point out your bad character traits, express my deep "hatred" and tell you what to fix about yourself, but that isn't my place. You ripped my heart out, then stepped , and spit on the pieces. I had to Let It Go for me. That doesn't make me miss you any less.

Song is deep man😪😍🎤love this song

I luv this song

Beautiful song!

mds cada dia mais apaixonada pela essa voz 😍😍

Beautiful! Thank you!

To start the lyrics are so pure and poetic catching love same as the ending of it, the painful necessity to go seperate ways although memories of loving still tie you together...the melody and play of the guitar simple and hearttouching at the same time, is absolutely hypnotic, to always start all over again.The singing and voice is unique full of emotion although far from being perfect it goes strait to the heart.the head voice so soft but intense and intimate gives the feeling He is singing next to you and only for you...beautiful combination with energetic changes to chestvoice at the right parts giving the Song the right flow, the honest and straight chestvoice singing at the end, not 100 percent perfect, is even more emotional, one of the most beautiful Songs to my ears, thank you for that wonderful Song James Bay ur awsome

the heart actually has ‘heart strings’. This is what is sounds like when you play them.
