Lyrics:
I hold my ear to a shell
I hear something that no one can sell
You know I should live by the sea
‘Cause I feel invisible in every city
And I know this feeling too well (too well)
Of being alive at your own funeral
Going ‘don’t give up on me’
Going ‘don’t give up on me’
Please, I’ll be the best I can be
I’ll be the best I can be
Don’t give up on me
I’ll come out of my shell
‘Cause I want the cake and I wanna eat it as well
I will live in leaves that crunch under your feet
I wanna be heard if I can’t be seen
And I know this feeling too well (too well)
Of being alive at your own funeral
Going ‘don’t give up on me’
Going ‘don’t give up on me’
Please, I’ll be the best I can be
I’ll be the best I can be

Love how open slowthai allows his sound to be. This man shows no fear.
he is scared of heights, taps, rainfall, spiders and cous cous. He has plenty of fear
@@murphymagic I mean... he did not show those fears in this video lol
@@bluebaconjake405 He did. He has an expert level of showing his fear through the use of his eyebrows. Watch again and you will see the pure panic.
@@murphymagic lmao
@@murphymagic sometimes im gassy when im scared. People notice my fear too.
How did this not make the album?! This version is so good!
He'd already turned in the album to his label before this was made
it's now available as a bonus track
Slowthai and James Blake ordering takeaway at their own metaphorical funeral. Of course.
Metaphorical. Right. I love your delusion you have on life. 😁 Even Jesus had to Cross that path. And he spoke several times, saying that he knew his destiny, and was never happier.
This combo is fiya
They seem like really good mates as well its so wholesome
Absolutely phenomenal. The best of his generation..
James Blake .
@@dariengarcia6439 both of them
@@jiboyeolaoye5534 Who would u say are James Blake's biggest competition
@@RianJudge does he have any? Too unique to compare for me .
@@jiboyeolaoye5534 im with you on that
Both incredibly original talents, hope they carry on surprising people
Come on, James Blake has been doing the same 'sad boy with a broken fluctuating voice' routine since the Wilhelm Scream. What's really surprising about him anymore?
Well said, mate.
@@theghostofrickyricardo9975 you do know he actually write music and produces right ?
@@racsan492 Yes I do know that. What's your point?
This whole album tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
James Blake is all I can think about these days. He really does his stuff amazingly. And don't get me started on Slowthai. Never disappoints
Crying and throwing up rn this is incredible and beautiful
Crying ,throwing up and sharted out of sheer amazement in hearing a song rn ...i win
Crying ,throwing up, sharted and pissed myself out of sheer amazement in hearing this song rn this is incredible and beautiful... i win
Crying throwing up and holding a gun to my head rn this is encouraging and motivational. I win
That’s the only thing we can do to such a poetic relatable masterpiece ☹️😩😢
They neighbours just called the police for my own well-being, they were concerned by the loud uncontrollable wailing coming from my house 😣
PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO FOR LIFE IS NOT SAME!! God this whole album is a masterpiece.
"Like being alive at your own funeral, going don't give up on me". I've never heard that expression before but I know that I've felt it a hundred times. It's perfect
This album is a 10/10...perfect
“James” stop blowing your huge ego up and stop chasing little girls, pretending you intend to make them famous
slowthai letting it all out with james blake in the background humming is just, ugh, chills man
Album already been overlooked, hope people take the time to give it a chance. True art.
Wasn’t expecting this to sound this good, got chills 🥺
This video makes me nostalgic about the Life Round Here video with Chance years back.
these two especially when tohether literally produce a special emotion in me
The compliments through passages. I am speechless to the wordplay
Record of the year for sure! I have some Depeche Mode vibe with this album. Love it!
James Blake & Slowthai combo never misses
Finneas ain't got nothing on JB. This is Mozart vs Salieri. When the Eternals want to sit back and chill to a concert, they call up James Blake. What a gift to an ungrateful world. Thank you James. You really touch people.
I don’t know one Finneas song.
Tale as old as time. Its pop vs greater substance
Who is Finneas?
why is James Blake x slowthai always unreal
Slowthai’s verse always gives me chills. I listened to this song in the car for the first time since I got over my first big heartbreak months ago. I started crying for the first time in months. Such a beautifully heart wrenching song
i’ve been following this man since he was just an up and comer working with the likes of Airhead. May i stay on this beautiful journey. nevermind the special guest. dear god i needed this. 💯❤️👌🏽
I agree, in every song he does, it's always James Blake who has the most moving presence
This is extraordinary!!! I feel blessed to have seen this work of art....Mr. Blake and Slowthai are OGs.
Nah like, Slowtai really a poet. Both of them are.
İ suddenly found this artist yesterday! And I already fall in love with him 🥺I'm playing his songs in loop❤️
Welcome to greatness
Listen to the whole discography you’ll enjoy
I found him 2 years ago. Been listening to him almost every day
@@Scrappym4 you're lucky
@@Daniella1117 İ will , thank youuuu❤️
Best new song with Mybe - Rockin' With You 🔥🔥
Another heartbreaking song from J.B. Lov‘ it 🖤
Wow just wow this guys music is just unbelievable. This album is on repeat in my car all day long. I'm going through one of those phases in life and this is gonna be one of those albums 10 years from now I can say helped get me through this part of my life. You freakin genius man!
“James” stop blowing your huge ego up and stop chasing little girls, pretending you intend to make them famous
this song is amazing! i love james blake and slowthai did his thing. Absolute masterpiece - Tony
One thing I love about James Blake is he has songs like this I’d come by it again months later and listen to it once again and my entire opinion on the song just changes
fr. this was me with Assume Form. i came back to it last year and became obsessed with the 2nd half of that album, the somberness' in the 2nd half was not something that stuck out to me the first time, but with a little life experience and some time away that changed lol.
So fucking emotional and beautiful. Get this man all the Grammys
Wow, this version is fantastic. The original is already beautiful, but this takes it to new heights.
I was just watching some interview where slowthai said he wants to work James Blake, this is awesome!!!
James has beautiful visuals for every song!
Didn’t know I needed this in my life and I now love it
Video feels like a sequel to Life Round Here
This video gave me a back to black vibes 🥲 RIP Amy 🖤🌹
Back to Black vibes, this is amazing
Felt the same!
Wow, slowthai should do more music from this side of him! Incredible 🙏
This is amazing. I always love their collab
This is absolutely incredible amazing thanku so much love and God bless x
damn that match does go well
My favourite crime fighting duo
So so so good🙌🏾
the album is everythinggg!!
SO GOOD
absolute banger
YESS!
Brilliant!! Necessary and absolute!
Lyrics: [James Blake] I hold my ear to a shell I hear somethin' that no one can sell You know, I should've lived by the sea 'Cause I feel invisible in every city And I know this feeling too well (Too well) Of being alive at your own funeral Goin', "Don't give up on me" Goin', "Don't give up on me" Please, I'll be the best I can be I'll be the best I can be Don't give up on me [slowthai] I never been one for horror movies I fall asleep under your tongue, I hope you choose me The shadow silhouetting the sun, I'm glued to your feet I live in the shadows of, mmm, under the loose leaves I spread my wings, I got a nose bleed I been the dust on top of trophies, the rust that makes it homely The crust that no one wants, I was forgotten, I've gone moldy They pressed mute, can you please pass the controller? Been the rabbit in the lights and they already ran me over [James Blake] And I know this feeling too well (Too well) Of being alive at your own funeral (Funeral) Goin', "Don't give up on me" (Don't) Goin', "Don't give up on me" Please, I'll be the best I can be I'll be the best I can be Don't give up on me

this guy's voice is just glorious
The man takes me to a space somewhere between earth's home and my future home. I only get so close to the new home when I fly to that space. Its as though my spaceship hasnt got the fuel to get me there. Which is fine.... I need his tunes in my ( LIFE )so earth for now is where I'll stay. 😍
Sheeeeeeeeeesh 🔥🔥
What an album!
