James Bay Live Lessons: Incomplete

I broke down how to play Incomplete, the last track on Chaos And The Calm. Hope you enjoyed it :) Learning to do lots of different stuff on an instrument takes time, but as long you keep at it you’ll get there! See you next time x

Filmed on Instagram Live in Spring 2020.

We don't feel incomplete, thanks to these lessons!

You have no clue how much impact your music has had on so many people. Absolutely love your old songs. Your lyrics, your tunes, your voice… the world needs so much more of your music. Fav male singer ever 💙 When you hit those falsettos in the chorus, man, goosebumps. And this song couldn’t be more perfect.

I can't even explain how much you mean to me.
It's like listening to your music it's so personal to me that I kinda don't want to share it with anyone else, and at the same time I want the world to know you.
I hope you come to Portugal 🇵🇹 soon :)
Wish I can see you succeed for ever. Love you 💕

Usually the last song on a album isnt so great, but THIS one leaves you with a sense of hope and gets you amped up for all the future's possibilities...eyeve always loved it and thank you so much for doing it live!

I breathe in slow to compose myself
But the bleeding heart I left on the shelf
Started speeding 'round, beating half to death
'Cause you’re here and you’re all mine
So I press my lips down into your neck
And I stay there and I reconnect
Bravery I’ve been trying to perfect
It can wait for a while
Scared of the hope in my head
It’s been making me sweat, but it turns out
You’re here with your head on my chest
I should’ve guessed
The world will turn and we’ll grow
We’ll learn how to be
To be incomplete
I breathe out now and we fall back in
Just like before we can re-begin
Let your lungs push slow up against my skin
Let it all feel just fine
Gone is the emptiness
We just take what’s best and we move on
All of the hurt gets left
I should’ve guessed
That the world will turn and we’ll grow
We’ll learn how to be
To be incomplete
This, here, now, it’s where we touch down
You and me, let’s be incomplete
How’d we ever go without?
I don’t know, but it looks like we’ve made it again
Tell me you’ll never look down, down
And the world will turn and we’ll grow
We’ll learn how to be
To be incom…
I don’t wanna look down
I don’t want us to break up in the clouds
All I want is to stay us, to stay with you now
I don’t wanna look down
I don’t want us to break up in the clouds
All I want is to stay us, to stay with you now
And the world will turn and we’ll grow
We’ll learn how to be
To be incomplete
And this, here, now, it’s where we touch down
You and me, let’s be incomplete
