Lyrics:
I played the ones you know,
I took you all the way,
but that was yesterday
I wore your favorite clothes,
I said the things you’d say,
but that was yesterday
So if you loved me so much
why’d you go?
Keep yourself back,
keep on lying? Oh..
I can only be what I am
Dive in, smiling
Life is not the same if we’re miles away
I was your champion
I did everything your way
We both swam out to sea
You lost me willingly,
but that was yesterday
You knew it would get dark,
you made sure I would need you in every way
So if you loved me so much,
why’d you go?
Keep yourself back,
keep on lying? oh..
I can only be what I am
Dive in, smiling
Life is not the same if we’re miles away
I was your champion,
I did everything your way
Life is not the same if we’re miles away
I was your champion,
I did everything to help you stay
#JamesBlake
James Blake's harmonies are so haunting, beautiful and emotional. He never misses.
Never
yeahh!! ..he is a Master
Joji and take a day trip did the production for this

James Blake... the very first song my friend played for me on his awesome audio setup was your song The Wilhelm Scream. I come back and listen to your music. He committed suicide 3 weeks ago and his viewing/memorial is tomorrow. So fitting that you just uploaded a song by this name. I'm going to try my best to hold it together and tonight will listen to your music for him.
My sincerest condolences Jessica ♥️
I lost my best friend from college the same way, a little over three years ago. He loved music too and especially having an awesome setup to listen. I’m so sorry for your loss, Jessica, I truly hope for moments of peace and solace amongst your grieving at their memorial
@@ZaryGrabusey thank you so much, your comment means a lot and I'm also sorry to hear about your best friend ❤
@@lamar3448 thank you ❤
I'm sorry for your loss Jessica. I'm sure you'll do him proud. If you can't hold it together that's ok. It just shows how much you truly cared about him. Good luck
I can imagine the whole album is gonna make us cry.
As always 😭
Currently 😭
I WONT EVEN HAVE ENOUGH TEARS LEFT THEY ALL DRAINING ON THIS SONG 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@Eric Carias secondsssss
this song coupled with the top comment on here just got to me real quick. this is the first song ive ever cried over
Joji and James Blake, the collab we all needed.
Agree
Wasn't that the Take A Day trip tag at the beginning tho?
@@chopkin both Take A Day Trip and Joji co-produced it
Ever since i heard Joji's production for the first time in Chloe Burbank, there was always this thought in the back of my mind that him and James would make a killer musical duo. Who could've guessed a pipe dream like that at the time would somehow translate to reality so many years later.
Joji has actually taken inspiration from James since the early days. Glad to see them finally collabing, so proud :')
Joji reminded me so much of James Blake, not even just the production but vocally as well, I wanna see a Collab where he's as a feature not just production, that would be fireeee
@Papa Zaive ayy sup guy thanks for the leaks
i was looking for a comment talking about Joji
I feel heartbroken and no one has even left me
You're lucky. Believe me. When you lose your family life isn't worth living.
@@mikeypliers9012 Life is always worth living.
This Retrograde Wilhelm scream and Willing Heart. TEAR FUEL 😭😭😭😭
Incredible how he can do that huh. Pure raw talent.
Oh no. He & his girlfriend haven't broken up, have they? When?
Praying for people who never discovered James Blake 🙏
🙏🏾
XOTWOD
THE PRODUCTION ON THIS IS INSANE
Daytrip and Joji really popped off here
Joji in clutch
Joji bringing his own heat to the track
Joji came in clutch
@@coolen8502 I'm gonna get dragged but who is Joji?
The whole thing is amazing, but that chorus is INCREDIBLE!
A modern day genius.
Joji makin some heat with the production
Bruh u make me miss him 😭 dude’s been gone for too long
@@hangoc5572 it’s nearly been a year I’m dead 😭😭
We missed Filthy Frank. Now we miss Joji. Life is not the same...
Yussss omggg😩👏🔥
@@Eliz23138 Holyshit! It really has been like 10 months sinces Nectar! It feels like it was like, a month ago. Covid's messed up my sense of time
James Blake and Joji together, is this a dream?
This is Slow Dancing, Joji??? Sheesh. 🔥🔥🔥
@@bluehalo8604 naw, this is ew & normal people combined
It feels like a fever dream, but its not, this song sounds too good to be true ahhh👏😩💕
Joji as pink guy?
@@grig151 yesss. it’s the vibe of this song and the way it sounds.
You know James Blake is one of you favourite artists when you like the song before the beat drops.
💯
No lie!!!
Period! Already know its about to knock me off my feet, i keep hittin replay!
I love how his voice is used as an actual instrument.
Eurorack modular is a major facilitator of that aspect. But he executes it SO tastefully!
His voice is unique,agree ❤
No wonder, he's been inspired by the greatest to do it: "Blake stated in an interview with The Rolling Stone: “I’ve been inspired by a lot of the music [Kanye's] made. I was certainly inspired by Yeezus. It made me rethink what I’m doing”."
@@olavikylliainen957 Ye, Iver, Blake best artists
Its so weird how the beat is quite defining. But it feels like his voice is carrying it. I agree! ^^
This song is in a different level. Got chills, shed tears. Can’t wait for the album.
💯💯
joji baby
I love all James work. The day I physically meet someone that enjoys his music will be an insane moment
Where in the world do you live?
@@123eee I live in a place where I'm the only one who appreciates him
Same bro, same
@@SaintValzget out of there lol
I'm here for Joon's recommendation
I've loved James since I was a youn'n ... How does he keep getting better !!
Because he’s a TRUE ARTIST 😩❤️
the layering in this song is so beautiful: from the lofi beat, heavenly vocals, sombre lyrics, heavy piano, dynamic synths -- very well executed!
that's a joji reference right there
@@MiguelArches YESSIRRR
This guy isn't just creative, he's a grand master. By the time James Blake retires, he should be recognized among the 100 best musicians to date.
He ate on this song omg
Nam, gracias por permitirme conocer está canción 💜
Ele sempre nos direcionando 💜💜
Get out of America !!!!!
Beautiful choice by Namjoon 💙
1:41 - James uses the same vocal sample from 'If The Car Beside You Moves Ahead'. So perfectly executed, placed, and well recycled. I love the attention to detail. None of it is 'for show'. It's reflective. Self-referential. Meta. Open. Bare. This is an artist with considerable measure. The very same man who inspired me to learn music production. Well done Mr Litherland. Excellent use of space and movement. Excellent mixdown. Left footed, euphoric, and confrontational 🧙♂️ I loved every second of it.
Underrated Comment
Gracias Namu 🤍
He's actually a very good poet.
I came here because of Namjouni he has a strange taste in music but beautiful I liked the song thank you Namjoni I love you 😭❤️
James Blake and RM 💜
Thank you for sharing this, Joon ❤❤❤❤❤
Yesssssssssss james
Finally the Joji x James collab I have been dreaming of, now both of them singing on a track and I can die in peace
This sounds like a mix between both The Colour in Anything and Assume Form. Can't wait for the new album!
Joji’s great production really shows here
It really does, you can obviously tell his sounds are in this and it's beautiful🥺💕
Yes
YEsss
he wasn't the only producer
Also take a day trip they mixed the song
how can my mind keep existing unfazed after this song?
Thank you so much NamJoon... I love you.
james literally doesn't have a bad song
i dont think i can handle this album
10 years of James Blake. What an amazing journey since that debut album. I love this sound. Good music
This is classic James Blake IMO! Moody, honest story told. Lovely.
Thank rm for suggesting this masterpiece...
Amazing vocal range. Song is so sad but beautiful at the same time.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever felt in my life
Man just as I was getting over my ex, James Blake releases a song that talks about my relationship with her and how we broke up. It still hurts but thank you nonetheless James, appreciate you man. I will play this song till it doesn't hurt
Yo legit
this shong shown you a sensitive spot in your mental health, thats why music is so valueble, it lets u feel things u didnt know u had in you
Lmao everyone’s relationships have similar common denominators it’s not special coincidence
@@elijahgavin6706 Firstly nobody asked you, secondly you don't know what people are going through at what time so you're better of not saying anything
I feel this comment so much
everyone's talking about joji's production which is fire. but can we just appreciate how good the song is in general?
i dont know that guy but i'v checked all james blake songs and they are absolute trash compare to this lol, who is this joji? :D
@@Hellaow joji is a singer formerly known as filthy frank
@@Hellaow what a constructive and respectfully ignorant comment...
@@brunoserra3499 thx
@@Hellaow My apologies, Shurath, I believe to have missed the irony on the original comment. I'm a bit of a "Sheldon", sometimes. 😊🙏
Acabo de ver la historia de RM y jod.. que siempre nos comparte el arte que el escucha y que posiblemente yo no pobria escuchar graciad a el, increible canción 😩 gracias namu

I’ve never cried so hard listening to a song.
❤❤❤
George and James should become a duo
ON REPLAY!
I love how joji produced this, you can OBVIOUSLY tell he did bc the sounds from this are very similar to joji's music, its absolutely amazing💕💕💕
James blake also produced this
@@sophisticatedluna6503 right! Thats cool they both produced this one!
Luv
i feel bit of 'The Colour In Anything' vibes. can't wait for new album 🖤
i cant wait until i hear the whole album, ty james.
I miss joji and this collab is all i needed
Holy shit this is absolutely great. The production is perfect and all of the harmonies AND THE CHORUS OH THAT CHORUS
Who is here today Because of RM ?💜
the vocal production is unreal
song's fire, man you know it's joji when you hear those melodies
This is my favourite song from the album, and the whole album is absolutely wonderful. What a talent. Beautiful work from Joji as well. Bouleversant.
what the actual heaven is this?!?! goosebumps throughout, he is constantly growing.
this production!!!!!!!
Namjoon,,💙
Blake is one of the few artists I listen to even now in my forties because he is genuinely an emotional writer. And isn't afraid to sing about stuff other than 3 minute loves songs.
Didn't know I needed this. Thank you Mr James Blake.
so good
this song deserved 20 million views. it's so underrated.
right in the feels
This upcoming album is gonna amazing, wow!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥....that's all I gotta say. Thank you James Blake for your existence!
I miss my friend. He was like a brother to me. He did everything he could to get closer to me even when I pushed him away. Unconditional love respect and understanding. I will never find a friend and soulmate like this ever again. Losing him is part of life. And to honour him I get up every morning. Its still hard 3 years after. This wasnt just a friend I think you all understand what I mean. This was a part of me that passed. I have to find new ways to reinvent myself and define who I can be and who I am now. I often feel naked and fragile and exposed. I lost my shield and armor and I dont know if I ever will get a feeling like that back so I try to start a life where I dont need it. I need it but I tell myself I dont. I try to cope I really try. I wish he knew how much he meant to me then and now. Not religious but if I am lucky I will meet him again. And I wish so much to see him just one last time to hug him one last time. I miss him every day. Hug the people you love when you can
This song hits hard
Can really tell joji helped produced this, what a vibe!
This man's a goddamned genius.
I just got out of a relationship and this song makes me wanna get back into one 😭
I just discovered this man by listening to his album the other day
Enjoy, my friend. Been hooked on JB since 2010. Listen to Pembroke
Bit late to the party, but welcome. Enjoy your deep dive!
You must have been living under a rock but better late than never
Where are you? US?
This song has been on repeat since it dropped! Thanks for blessing our ears!!
That's what's up 😊 👏🏿 🙌🏾 💯 👌🏾 😎
Big fan of yours blake
Wow!.... WOW!!
"If you loved me so much, why'd you go?" Jimmy Blake isn't feeling the love atm
I had to stop after this verse... so good, goosebumps
i heard this is a concept album so I don't think James is this sad atm
I can’t help but to listen to this song back to back to back. Your music just does something to my soul
Beautiful song!! I heard it on a local radio station. To me it speaks of codependency, of abandonning yourself to try to be loved by someone else, and just loosing them in the end. Their is a lot of grief in the end.
This is such an incredible song. It's a blissfully warm and heartfelt production - truly a work of art.
My best friend just moved in another country and she didn't tell me...Just wrote from another country telling that she left forever like nothing happend. My heart's broken...We've known each other for sixteen years and i don't know how to trust people, evrything fell down. And here this song! like James knew something, this is deffinitly the hymn of this period of my life, there is before and after
James Blake back 🙏
Artwork gives me AOT vibes.
the picture gives me real goosebumps,i feel like my skin is disintergreting but the audio is to die for
I came from RM story and I’m staying 💜
Life is not the same after hearing this …..
Thanks for blessing us with your music.
Takeadaytrip and Joji helped produced this 🥺❤️
One of the most beautiful pieces of art ever made
I can listen to this song on repeat all day long.
I heard it from him, thank you 🧡
Wonderful
This is beautiful James
This voice is so ahead of the pack. Thank you James for all the work you put in. I feel it
I'm here bz of rkive ✨ Is he (rm) ok?
Rest in peace Basti, my dear love. I'd love to send this to you so you know how I feel eversince you passed away. But I know that somehow you're listening somewhere. Until we meet again
perfect combo of TCIA and Assume Form
Best song from album❤️
