Lyrics
The world has shut me out
If I give everything I'll lose everything
Everything is about me
I am the most important thing
And you really haven't thought all those cyclical thoughts for a while?
And as it keeps going
I could never be involved
I could never really see in real time
I could never be involved
And as it keeps on going
I could avoid real time
I could ignore my busy mind
I could avoid contact with eyes
I could avoid going outside
I could avoid wasting my life
I could avoid
I could avoid 20/20 sight
I could avoid standing in line
I could avoid the 405
I could avoid coming to life
I could say anything I like
I could switch off whenever I like
I could sleep whenever I like
I could leave in the middle of the night, oh
But I'd miss it
Don't miss it
Don't miss it like I did
And as it keeps going
If there's no need for the perfect image
And nothing seems that wrong
Don't miss it
When you know there's better conversation waiting for you at home
And as it keeps on going
You forget whether it was the beginning or end
When you can't believe your luck
(When you can't believe your luck)
You're with your friend
When you get to hang out with your favourite person every day
When the dull pain goes away
Don't miss it (Don't miss it)
When you stop being a ghost in a shell
And everybody keeps saying you look well
Don't miss it
Like I did
Don't miss it
Don't miss it like I did
Like I did

James explained the meaning of this song at his gig in Sydney. He said this song is about expressing yourself, as a man, when you've been told to do the opposite all your life. He then said "If you can't be honest with the people in your life, then there's no point in having them around." In the song he's urging you not to miss life like he did, so you can have those intimate conversations and love.

As a person that has struggled with anxiety and depression for a while, this particular song touches me deeply. The instrumental is sparse, odd and delicate, and the background vocals are haunting and embracing, but the lyrics are so pure and so stripped that I cannot help but feel completely identified and motivated by them. Words will never be able to express how much admiration and love I have for this artist, and how much his soundscapes and thoughts have shifted and helped me through.

This comment validates everything I feel when I hear this song. I had crippling anxiety that made me agoraphobic for years. I couldn't even leave my house. Because doctors were gaslighting me and telling me I was making it up. It turns out I'm epileptic and autistic. I'm still recovering but I'll always feel like I missed it. But this somehow makes that ok.

I saw James Blake doing a sort of DJ set in Vancouver, BC about a year and a half ago in the downstairs venue of one of the more popular clubs in the city. I was in recording school; broke and fairly antisocial, as I still sort of am. I remember not really wanting to go and my friends reaming me out as they usually do (bless them) but that night in particular I caved and went out. I remember the group of DJ's burning all these wild smelling incense all night and spinning nothing but songs I hadn't heard. He came on and it was really impressive; both the vinyls he spun and the way he transitioned into each track. Just a really cool experience. I have been hooked on his work ever since. I was walking home from work today and passed a house with an open window. They were burning that very same scent inside and I could smell it from walking by. Immediately took me back to that night and how I felt at that time, as they say memory is most harshly affected by the sense of smell. Hadn't smelled it since. May never smell it again. No joke, a few SECONDS later a friend texted me out of the blue and told me to watch this video. James Blake you have somehow touched my soul.

@LMCSM Жыл бұрын

This hits home. I've suffered with chronic depression and social anxiety all my life. I haven't been out of the house for 2 months. It's a crippling pain like no other to feel you are not part of the world and that you don't belong "out there" Unless you've experienced it, you can't truly grasp or understand what it's like

Yesterday, listening to this song I took a risk and send a girl I wanted to date for a long time a message. She hasn’t responded yet. I could conclude that I took a dumb risk and it will end in loneliness. But, I am happy. I took the risk. I could avoid taking the shot, and I would have always asked my self, what if. I’m happy with whatever happens. Moral of the story: Don’t miss it. Take the fucking shot. Life is better with taking risks.

@thePatt111 6 жыл бұрын

This song to me is about depression and the proclivity to stay inside your comfort zone and safe space. Why would one do this? Well in your safe space u have less responsibility and u don't have to contend with the vices of mortality that wash over you relentlessly. if you put yourself outside your comfort zone say as an artist or muscisian that means you could be poor, or no one might like your art and your dreams could evaporate leaving the black and white picture of reality. And if you do enjoy some vestige of success or even perhaps mountains of it then I think James demonstrates in the title of the piece "don't miss it". Understandably that dark depressed resentful situation one might find themselves in is very seductive in that you feel safe because the variables involved you can control for example James highlights this in the line " I could sleep whenever I like". In conclusion James is I warning of the seductive whispers of depression and resentfulness and also saying that if you do start to feel a shadow, or a shadow of a shadow of happiness grab hold with both hands and let it slowly draw you closer the the sunset painted horizon. Whatever that may be for you.

I have such a hard time leaving my room, my computer, to just connect with someone in real time, face to face. This song opens me up to the possibilities of being open to someone new. Such a subtle way of exploring loneliness and connection. Thanks again, James. Really hoping to see you in concert again one day.

This song, along with “If The Car Besides You Moves Ahead”, both have the same message. Keep moving and everything will be fine. In ITCBYMA, the repetition of the voice symbolizes the voices catching up with each other, just like a car beside you moving ahead, you will reach to your destination that you’ve always want just like the other one (meaning you will make it somewhere in life, even if it takes a while). This song has the same meaning, instead when the bridge comes, it’s all hectic and chaotic like the continuous mind set of just wanting to be alone and not be with others, but it goes back to being normal when James tells you “Don’t miss it”, meaning don’t do what you think is the only thing to do, keep your head up and you will get what you won’t, don’t miss out on your happiness, keep moving forward

@bravetherainbow 6 жыл бұрын

Don't Miss It seems very specifically about staying with and appreciating your lover though, not really about moving forward. He is regretting letting things get in between him and his partner.

@omeallynile 6 жыл бұрын

I'm gonna have to agree with this; it's like he's looking back here, at his fear, and what he's missed out on, in hindsight - which is always 20/20. And to me he's telling this to someone, perhaps himself, so that the same mistakes don't get repeated.

@FjwRaves 6 жыл бұрын

The beauty of this song it can and will mean anything you need it to mean, as long as you enjoy it the meaning is yours to interpret. It could be about anything honestly and the only person who really knows is James. Can’t wait for the new album from my absolute favorite artist in the industry.

I think he's contemplating his past and acknowledging that he has a choice to miss things, be depressed, be lazy, etc. Whatever it is... But he'd be missing out on it all... Don't miss life, you've only got one. He knows this now because he has finally found happiness with another person: when you can't believe your luck, you're with your friend. I think it's really a sentimental message to his listeners...

I reckon a mashup with the xylophone from No Surprises and guitar from Bulletproof (I wish I was) would make a remix of this outstanding!

I cried so god danm hard listening to this song, the way this almost punctures me and makes fun of me is the strangest thing to feel good about, specially hearing about people's struggles without have set up a shield - since I always try to let music all the way in - was something I really needed. Knowing that what I feel and have felt are temporary isn't enough sometimes and when I listen to something as beautiful as this I can finally sleep relaxed.

I am italian and dealing with all that covid19 has brought here. We are all locked home, cant go out.. and I can't see my boyfriend or my friends and i am so scared for the ones i love. Its so true that we cant see how lucky we are till we loose it. I want my normal life back. I feel so heartbroken. I cried all my tears to this tonight. I can't sleep ☹ "When you can't believe your luck You're with your friend When you get to hang out With your favourite person everyday When the dull pain goes away Don't miss it (don't miss it) When you stop being a ghost in a shell And everybody keeps saying you look well Don't miss it Like I did Don't miss it Don't miss it like I did Like I did"

James Blake is one of the few singers who sings clearly and slowly enough for me to actually listen to his lyrics but who also has a voice that gives me goosebumps

Thank you James Blake, I went through a lot in the past and this song didn't do much to me, and now that I'm sane again, I can listen to this song with my favorite person everyfay

A song about FOMA, our smartphones addictions, with a video made on a smartphone meant to be watched on a smartphone. This is just too good, James is truly a genius.

I interpret this as a message to younger people particularly to not miss out on social opportunities, having fun, friends etc, from the perspective of somebody who didnt or doesnt have those opportunities. Almost like he is telling them to not take it for granted.

@TheTorsten33 6 жыл бұрын

I think you are right it is darker. But is´nt it darker ´cause of the song? I dont know if just writing the lyrics in a chat is more "meaningful" but using only emojis instead is way more original, don´t you think?

@TheTorsten33 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the nice song Dear McCracken. But, It´s not vertical (for watching vertical on phone) and it´s got no emojis,...so where is the point?

From hearing 'This is the real blues' years ago to this... His delicate progression as an instrumental musician to 'Overgrown' is so inspirational in itself, could only hope to be half the musician he is .
