James, quite simply one of the very best bands in the World

I lost my mom last September. We were so close. There is truly not a day that passes that I don’t think of her, and many times at that. I have a voicemail of her’s wishing me a happy birthday two months before she passed away. I discovered it a month after she passed, cried my eyes out and haven’t been able to bring myself to listen to it again although I was close on a few occasions. This song means so much to me, it’s just beautiful. I’m seeing James in Pittsburgh for the first time even though I’ve been a massive fan since the 90’s. I truly can’t believe they’re coming to my city and I’m counting the days. It would be great if they played Moving On but no matter what, I’m just thankful that I finally get to experience them live for the first time. Take care everyone and for anyone who has lost a close loved one, big big hugs from me.

Everyone I showed the official video too has not left one dry eye in the house. Very simple video concept and such a powerful song. VERY underrated band!

Quite possibly the most underrated British band of the 90's..

There are Bands..and then there are James! Fabulous! Enough Said!

God I still come back to this song even after all these years!! Absolutely Stunning Version!

god damn, this version is like a punch in the chest.

Raw emotion. Totally feel Tim’s pain after losing my mom to cancer.

My mom passed away last November. Every time I hear this song I cry with a little girl's heart, even though I'm all grown up. We're never too old to need and miss our moms.

The people who disliked this song must have no soul. Epic version of an amazing song.

I have loved this band since I first saw them as support for Bowie in 1990. Have tickets to see them in December. This came out just after my husband died. The video is a killer and has me crying everytime. It’s a necessary catharsis each time I watch it.

The whole album is a masterpiece. This song is one of the saddest song I've heard, especially this version.

I have long identified with the pain Tim is in in this vid....having suffered the loss of my Mum many moons ago. Today, i am watching this, with tears in my eyes, as my Father is close to "Moving On". I have the most bizarre relationship with my Dad, we sometimes clash (always have, always will), yet i love him and the thought of losing him, despite dealing with his illness for 5 yrs, has suddenly intensified this past few days. He said to me the other day, he just has had enough. To know he just wants to be at peace now, is sooooo difficult to hear, knowing he feels there is nothing left to live for. And for selfish reasons, i want him to stick around as long as possible. Losing my mum seemed so much easier to deal with, as, at the time, nobody knew she was on borrowed time. ...but it came to light after, she knew it herself, and decided not to burden us. Life is mostly a beautiful thing, but it is interupted now and then by the pain of losing loved ones and sometimes, that pain becomes the focus and we temporarily lose sight of the beautiful things (the sort of things which dont come with a price tag attached!!)

I’ve never turned that light off Mum, it’s bright and it shines in my heart every day, until we meet again ❤

Thanks james !!! This song I dedicated to my father who passed away arround 4 months...gracias padre por traerme a esta fiesta llamada vida

In the last 6 years I've lost 2 brothers, 2 sisters my niece and my brother in law after the funerals I always played this song and cried my eyes out . These have to be one of the greatest bands to have come out of Manchester Ever , fantastic

Thank you for sharing your emotion. My mother passed when I was 24, she was 50. Now I'm 53 and I see it in your eyes. Mothers are origin.

My mum had a aneurysm and was in a coma for over 2 years. This song always gives me hope I'll see her agan. And my Nan too ❤

I can't watch this video without welling up , I lost my big brother 2 years ago and he got me into this band many moons ago , he was taken too soon ..love you bro , I hope you knew xxx

Brother just passed listening to this it's completed

I know its about his mam. I lost my dad 19 days ago and needed to hear it to help the grieving process. I hope that makes sense?

Love you with all my heart, mum. You'll never be forgotten and will forever be loved. RIP ❤

This is it. This isnt music its poetry, direct from the soul !!

I sadly lost one of my best friends in 1984, never Evan thought to tell her I loved her,today I lost another of my beautiful friends, thankfully I was able to say I love you to her,,, long before I needed her to hear me. Love you both so very much girls xxxx

The best they've been in 20 years. Amazing for a band that's been around so long.

My father has been diagnosed with MND (als) recently, the disease is progressing quite rapidly, the video to the released version of this song i can identify with as so much as im sure a lot of people can who have lost or are losing someone. As i watch my father decline the only comfort i have is beautiful songs like this which encourage me to try and make as many happy memories i can with my father in the short time i have left with him..........so thank you James for helping me get through this difficult period in my life

As if the original song wasn't sad enough (along with the video); this version is heart-breaking. Wonderful song TwT

My parents have passed away, with just 4 days between them. This song gets to the heart...

Damn... this is the first time I've heard this version. I think my heart just broke. This is astonishingly beautiful.

This song makes me cry like a girl. You can hear the emotion and pain in Tim’s voice

This band was sent by the God's. Sending messages of Beautiful Comfort to so many people, also so that we can all reminisce of all the good childhood memories that we all hold dear to our hearts and cherish now and for our beautiful children,s future and also think of our beautiful journey that awaits us all but with a smile. Thank you so much James, for those amazing drunking nights, in a darkened local nightclub with one of those brilliant lite up dance floors like Saturday Night Fever in 1989, as a teenager memories of sitting on the floor to Sit Down. James you will not believe that being a Scotsman that you brought so many people and stranger's together with that one feel good track in that nightclub for any night that record was played , pure genius I say!.THANK YOU! JAME'S YOU ARE A TALENTED SUPERB BAND THAT I WILL LOVE FOREVER. MY DAUGHTER AGED 13 LOVES YOU TOO WOW YOUR MUSIC WILL NEVER DIE! You are beautiful Band keep these amazing records coming. I love you wow so much talent as one!😘❤

beautiful.......tim's quivering mouth at 2:52. Big hug to anyone out there suffering a loss. x

I still come back to this song to remember the hurt i felt in 2017, and the love of my mother that will never go away 🌻

I don’t listen to this song often but when I do , so do the neighbors .

One of the most beautiful songs ever x

So humble what a tune god bless tim

I just want to hold him and stop his pain , the emotion breaks me every time x

You can feel his heart in this sad song. yes we've all lost someone, thank you Tim.

I am still listening, its so touching

he still has it brill love the band

One of the closest things to beauty. Thank you

Just the best band ever..... Even better live can't get enough..... 😁

Almost one week after seeing them live in Athens, I couldn't get the concert out of my head...So....going back for more in November in London....! Don't want to wish my life away, but......November come sooonnn!

James have been part of my life for so long, I love them so much

I cried with the emotion pouring from his eyes and depth of love he had for his mom as he sung this beautiful song. I also lost mine and his tears at the end were mine too.

Oh Tim. You cut me deep, very few music makers are writing stuff with this much feeling these days. Thank you so much for this music.

My beautiful Mam died last week and this song just captures everything about how I feel. I'm a great James fan, have seen them live loads.....love them. And this song.

Pure, simple heartfelt music. made of stone if this doesn't move you. love it.

This is the song i'm having played at my funeral, just a shame i won't get to hear it so i'm making the most of it now, absolute awesome song..

Been listening since Covid arrived..its just been a breath of fresh AIR` just love TIM BOOTH his aura is inspiring & so intune with the audience! Just LOVE his CROWD SURFING..!!

missing my papa .... 31 dec 2022 ... feels like the New Year is another day you are further away .. rest in peace my beautiful papa :(. i hope you knew ...............

probably the best thing I have ever heard or seen...unbelievable performance...so powerful.. 10 stars

Breaks my heart😢❤

How has this not garnered a Grammy, Emmy and an Oscar?

If you know what this song is about you can truly appreciate the emotion that went into it, Tim Booth and James at there bittersweet best, a truly beautiful piece of songwriting.

This band affects me emotionally like no other.

Never comment on youtube but this is phenomenal and deserves the recognition. Chills everytime I watch it.

god didn't see it coming, never said I loved you, hope you knew!!! that's for you dad

longer than life... the memories. Tears are "only" the prove!!! long live to all and longer memories. Thank Tim Booth and James... Amazing and so human!

Musicians at the top of their game..... have been for SO LONG.

Absolutely adore this song ❤️❤️ makes me cry , makes me happy , makes me sad , brings back memories of my dad 🥲 thank you Tim and thank you James ❤️❤️❤️

fucking amazing >"

Stunning - you can see how much it affects him every time he sings it, feels like sharing in grief, though grief with hope - when this cycle ends, will it start again?

Still grips the heart today

word of advice : if you are listening to this song for the first time YOU MUST watch the official video first. Then come back and watch this to fully appreciate / just my opinion

best song in years, jemes are a great band, tim is great, we love you james.

Two years ago I lost my dad to Parkinsons disease to see a proud ex Regimental SGT Major lying in a bed in a care home unable to feed himself or speak was heart breaking as much as we pulled the string sadly the last strand slipped through our fingers. RIP dad x

Came to this after seeing Tim on U.K. breakfast tv. Haven’t heard this song/session for years, and it has me in tears already.

there won't be a dry eye in the house when they play this live xx TIM xx

I absolutely love this song it's probably one of my favourite songs now gonna listen to more of there songs

I first saw the video for this song in my parents house about 6 years ago, I was on my own in the living room and it moved me to tears thinking about my loved ones mortality. My dad walked in and I cleared my eyes and pretended that I had some grit in them. I couldn't look at my dad though, I kept getting this feeling that he wasn't going to be with me for much longer, I had to leave the room, rather then tell him I loved him very much, I just walked out. Anyway dad died a few months later, I did tell him how much I loved him while he was in hospital but it never feels enough to say it.

Simplemente los mejores!!! ahhhhh james... mis queridos james, los escucho desde hace muchos años, y los he visto todas las veces que han estado acá en México, recuerdo el amigo que me trajo de Inglaterra lo que estaba sonando en ese tiempo y venia esa canción de Born of frustration y vaya...sin palabras. Músicos más honestos y música excelente. James best, thanks for the music make waiting como again to México, all times have been them I have seen, thanks.

Not listened to this version for a while, truly stunning so it is.

Cant stop listen, the most beautiful song, ever.

on February 14 when mom had a tragic accident and spent five days in intensive care with brain death until I can't take it anymore, one day we will see each other again mom

Extraordinary sound! With the violin most creative! God or The Force be with you!

No conocia a James, un dia KZfaq music lo metió entre la musica que escuchaba de R.E.M., Getting away whith it, me gustó la letra y y armonia. Hoy tengo mas de un año escuchando su musica, convirtiendsose en una de mis bandas favoritas. Es Increible su voz y la letra de sus canciones. Puedo decir que amo a la Banda James. Despues de tantos años que existe, es un desperdicio de tiempo no haberla conocido antes.

Pure quality. Seen this band so many times and they are like red wine......

BEAUTIFUL. I wish people in the USA new more about this group and this incredible song.

Music is the key to the soul

Why have I never come across this before? Maybe the most moving song I've ever listened to..

Simplemente muy bonito todos los temas de James James un grande De los grandes

So so special, what a performance 🙏🏻

So beautiful. The greatest band in the U.K. ♥️♥️

Sometimes the need to leave a comment is stronger than the lack of words that songs like this leaves in the deepest of the soul

Lost a good friend who was a huge James fan , damn this songs hits more now. Tim and the band are just one of those special bands .

Formed in 1982 !!! The greatest British Band ever, yet they seem to have slipped through the net, Countless amazing songs & albums....Never played on the Radio or mentioned on the Telly in the U.K. Most underrated band ever.

This interpretation is made of pure and deep emotion. I love James because of their sincerity and the beautiful love they have for life :)

anyone else cried through this?

Seen them 14 times... Best live band out there......This song live though.... gets crowd going wild. Half sing joyfully and half emotionally with tears falling. I'm in the latter group.... WHAT A SONG. WHAT A BAND. Shanti 🙏

I find it so hard, yet so compelling to watch this. James are the band that I grew with, I've seen them since I was 15... I feel the pain, I lost my mum 8 years ago, and this beautiful song makes me feel the pain, but also how amazing the love of a mother is, there is nothing more painful than your mum passing. This song is hard, but beautiful x

Linda canción 2020 me encanta James 💗💗💗👏👏😘💗😘

When you've lost someone close this song has a much bigger impact.

Years.tim booth and his band are modern day geniuses.musically and lyrically encapsulating every facet of human emotion both emotionally and spiritually.rare talent nowadays.

One of the GREATEST songs EVER...❤️

amazing and so heart wrenching ,, beautifully performed, you can feel this from a soul level,, x

Saw these guys perform this in Manchester. Absolutely beautiful.

Simply……stunning!
