Lyrics:
And I can’t believe I’m still talking about you
That feeling
I should’ve lost it
I should’ve lost it by now
I can’t believe I’m still holding out and seeing signs
I’ve truly lost it
I’ve truly lost it
This time
You’re the last
You’re the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs
I can’t believe I’m still walking around a believer
I should’ve lost it
I should’ve lost it
By now
And I can’t believe I’m still making excuses for your crimes
I’ve truly lost it
I’ve truly lost it
This time
You’re the last
You’re the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs
You’re the famous last words
I wish I never uttered
That I wish I never stuttered
That I wish I‘d had time to learn
You’re the last
You’re the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs
You’re the last
You’re the last of my old things
The cast from my broken limbs

James was so right when he said he wanted to address the loss of a friendship in a song/album partly because it's so unusual to find the topic in music; most heartbreak tracks are about partner issues but, if we think about it, friendships might mold and define us even more. Plus, the video feels so accurate in depicting the musical and lyrical atmosphere of the whole album, since I get the impression that James is in a constant kind of emotional limbo, not quite living nor completely dying (for instance, songs like Funeral or Frozen manifest this state of numbness and delicate tension between life and death, and even on this very song the chorus' harmonies seem to be descending on a [beautiful] downward spiral). The end also feels precise because he appears to be relieved to finally be free from his cast or physical/emotional hindrances, but also afraid and even apprehensive to fully dive into the water/new experiences, reflecting on "you're the last of my old things, the cast from my broken limbs". The message might then be: how much is he (or are we) able to leave the past behind against how dependent and even masochistic we have become to those traumatic situations that subconsciously make us feel a connection (no matter how twisted or toxic it can be) to our past and ultimately form a certain type of sense of belonging?
It's a brilliant analysis! Definetely felt the same.
WOWWW great depiction

woah are you my therapist
Yes
Words can't explain how beautiful this song is. Heard the album for the first time on a flight at night, and it was...
Must've felt like you were flying but the plane was absent
What was it,?? The suspense is killing me.. 😱
@@jezbread8111 My man crashed
What a vibe 👾
It's insane really
Did not expect to witness a blurred James Blake bottom but here we are.
Really? Lol.. I thought it was the tears in my eyes that made the video blurry

"you're the last of my old things" I've been hurting a lot this year over losing a relationship with someone that's been with me over very pivotal years of my growth. I've never been that close with anyone before. It feels so hard moving on into the rest of my life leaving behind a love that has taught me so much and is very much a part of me now. I'm just staying looking at a fading fire, just trying to remember it a little bit before having to move on
Yes, I can empathize with this sentiment too💫. Likely, many of us can BC of the past 19 months.😔 Bless you and your heart.🙏
🥲🥲🥲
This sounds really hard. Take care of yourself and trust that time truly does heal all wounds, even the deepest ones.
That’s such a hard thing to go through. I know how you feel and empathize with you, stay strong man
i am sorry for you ♡ thank you for this comment
JAMES BLAKE ... My favorite psychologist.❤
ALBUM OF THE YEAR. That's all I'm gonna say
It's up there for sure. Not necessarily my aoty, But it's great
@@freddysamjacob363 its absolutely great it is number 1 for sure I don’t think theres any album that can top this
@@intergalacticspaghetti5213 for me no.1 fpr this year is Call me if you get lost by Tyler the creator. Friends that break ypur heart is definetly no.2 for me this year, the album is a master piece.
@@intergalacticspaghetti5213 I have about 10 albums above this. But, hey, if it's number 1 for you... It's number 1 then.
Agree my man
You don't see songs about the lost of friendship... especially among men... bravo👏🏾
Anyone with a musical background must understand the perfection of this mix here... my hat goes off to the mixing engineer of this master recording... wow! It might possibly be the best I have ever heard...
Please explain why
@@josemanuelalvaradohernande8789 this is snob talk don't worry abt it
I whole heartedly agree.
He very likely does it himself.
@@hunterkeels8247 I am pretty sure he is part of the entire process. I do not know of an actual creative artist, who co- writes/writes and co-creates/creates their own music, to just completely remove themselves from the final process. But it is always important to have an independent professional ear when you master the final material. Mastering is a different beast than creating for sure. As the artist, you already heard the material you created 1000 times before it actually lands in the mastering studio. One needs to keep a fresh ear to a certain extend to then approve of the final product. Cause once it is released... no more changes...
You know you're underrated when you've got the voice of an angel and there's only 3k views in the first half hour.
Your accuracy 💯
Really? I’m guessing you aren’t British. James Blake is one of the most famous artists and producers in the UK and likely the world! He’s won a Grammy and been nominated for 5. I hardly think 3000 views in half an hour is a metric to go by. People are less interested in a lot of his new stuff but it’s much more niche, and James Blake has never cared about publicity. If you had heard his obscure music in the beginning you would know this. Underrated is such an overused term nowadays, and I don’t know why people think it’s a compliment.
@@samkedwards2032 oh I'm not British, I'm talking in comparison to the Ariana Grande's and the Weeknd's. This guys has just as much skill as they do but the numbers they do are far apart, he deserves even more for sure
@@jensen_chuah Skill has nothing to do with it. Most of the people making the most sales are far from having the most skill. It’s about what sells, it should be obvious why James Blake wouldn’t be mainstream. British people don’t care about these big figures because we have a thriving music community that is supported regardless of American ideas of popularity. It does not work this way in America, so I don’t blame you for thinking this way, this is the reason actually why Im going back!
@@samkedwards2032 I totally agree with you but I’m sure they meant it in a positive way. James deserves to get a million views in the first hour
“You’re the famous last words, I wish I never uttered. That I wish I never stuttered.” The amount of times I’ve cried to this line. To this song. There are some people I wish I could turn back into strangers. James Blake really said what I’ve been feeling for so long. Truly a masterpiece.
“James” stop blowing your huge ego up and stop chasing little girls, pretending you intend to make them famous
ended a really toxic relationship this week and this album has been helping me go through all of it
hope you're doing well, it can be really hard at first but it will get better!
Same... my divorce was finalized a few days ago and this album, and very much this song, have really helped me. Hang in there friend!
same, hope you feel better
@@Archizombie Congrats! My divorce hearing is on the 15th of November, I can't wait to celebrate the final decree!😊
Stay strong. Life may suck for a while but you'll be shocked at how great life can be.
This album literally is my going to work music! ....also during work.....and after work ...during workout .....cooking dinner ......playing games ........sleep music 🎶 😅
This🤣
And driving

4-10 bw. Not even close tot the GOAT (6-6) MJ will always be on top (SCORCHING HOT TAKE btw) LeBum is lucky he's never faced Spida Mitchell or KAT. MJ is and always will be te best, while LeBum will live in his shadow. Timberwolves v Jazz WCF 2022, watch out, buddy.

the last of my old things .deep great choice of words
This just helps seal the coffin. Grieving the end of a friendship can hurt so much and so deeply.

Recently lost my brother to drug addiction & this song hits me right in the feels. Miss u everyday Rich 🤍🥀
1st time hearing your album I was on 3 tabs of acid, I had it on repeat for the whole trip and it was honestly the most magical music in existence and was perfect timing for the trip of my life.
It wasn't my first time but I had seen him live in a festival during Retrograde times, his sublime voice and his epic piano...You just don't want him to leave the stage. I hope I can see him live again!

Thank you James Blake for this album. You have always outdone yourself, and you truly are a gem. All of your albums have moved me, but this one has transformed my soul in immeasurable ways. Keep shining the light so that even those us in the dark can find the light and heal the darkness that heartbreaks brings, especially from friends. Love, peace and light!
"I leave the dent in my car, to remind me what I could've lost."
first thought when i saw the broken glass
Can’t believe I slept on JB all these years. Incredible artist in so many facets beyond musicianship ❤
The way my heart shatter every time I listen to this album. Knowing I have given it all and all I got is ignorance
You will survive. It might takes months or years but another love story will come to shock you again.
This album got me through my midterms in one piece, thanks james
When things are falling apart, there actually falling 🌠 into place. Beautiful 💙
overtime my heart was destroyed it was by someone i considered a friend. i remember reading something about friends are the only people you will let get that close to you. then one day i had to ask why am i befreinding such turds. i hope james reads this, sir your music is the absolute best music coming out right now. thank you.
Stay strong, there are lots of those kinds of people.
Timely as your other albums have been for me. This song was the final nail in the coffin of a past I was holding on to and finally let go of, those famous last words have become, at last, my final words and I'm already feeling good about being able to move again without one foot in the door. Thank you James.
From the first time I heard this song, instantly became one of my favorite songs I've heard from him. And I've been listening since his self titled. Damn, this is beautiful.

Album of the year period!
Oh man oh man oh man!!!! Read each moment of my life in the strum of these songs. Brilliant, just all together extraordinarily brilliant
Gorgeous sweeping sadness in this song - envelopes you like the salty sea🌬🌊🥀 of tears we all shed from broken friendship dreams the past 19 months.🙇
His music speaks to the very essence of my soul. ❤❤❤❤
The goosebumps.... Remarkable
This is amazing video,James Blake amazing artist this world🥰🥰🥰
This album has me thinking about things dormant for years and not till hearing it am I know reflecting off of them. Maybe dramatic, but that's the closest I get to explaining the feeling. Much Love
Saw this live. Life changing
Can imagine! Saw him live few years ago with my brother. End of the show I looked over to the right to see my brother with tears streaming down his face. Only other time I ever saw tears in my brothers eyes was when a baseball was thrown fullspeed into his nutsack from off the playingfield.. I mean he did not even shed a tear when our mom passed away (and he loved her deeply, he just doesn't cry.. Like ever).. James moves the soul
I had seen him live during Retrograde times. You just don't want him to leave the stage. I hope I can see him live again!
This is so simple, yet amazing song. James Blake has an amazing ear for details. I rarely hear anything that gives me as deep pleasure as those gliding vocal harmonies in the chorus. It's like someone's tickling your ears from within. Sounds absolutely beautiful. I wish I could write a song like this.
Amo lo divertido que están siendo los vídeos. Me pasa mucho de disfrutar cuando los y las artistas entregan el alma! Bravo James Blake
Pfff I was about to comment "Are you ok mr. Blake?" when I saw the beat up face and then my heart lifts and you make me cry with this beauty!
Beautiful Exquisite job once again MR. Blake. You have a beautiful soothing relaxing voice, I just love this song. Very calming. I like to listen to this when I want to relax. ❤️💎👍🏽.
Lovely picture and song!
Wow no words !
I love this album. Show me is my fave
What a voice
