The best band to come out of Manchester. Vastly underrated.

[flexor]

Song from 1993 and the singer can still hit the high notes? Almost unheard of.

[TristanandIsolt]

The high note. Nobody or nothing else like it.

[egauthre]

Everyone in this group has an excellent “ear” for music!😊

[Paul-utzy]

117 bands live in my lifetime and without a shadow of a doubt the best live band I’ve seen. Tears for fears come close but for the sheer fact they change their set for every show clinches it.
18 times for James 19th coming up

[NiallAllen]

I've just stumbled across this.

Masterful. Delightful. Exceptional.

I'm happy to be here :)

[CB-RADIO-UK]

The ending lyric of the song rips your heart out.

[tonyfour]

Wow this version is emotional! Very very good!

[erinsnyder]

Oh my gosh, I think I love this acoustic version even better than the original! He is just the coolest! Voice like butter...

JAMES: The energizer bunny of the Music world. Tim Booth; a man with an amazing gift and talent that doesn't use it to show off big notes and vocal aerobics as many singers do. James simply uses his gift to emote the required emotion of the melody. And he does so, better than anyone. A well balanced, musician, poet, artist and least not vocalist. JAMES, and Incredible band, , Booth and incredible man, and we, the incredibly fortunate witnesses, of this beautiful medley of musical talent that is James. Thank you for the decades of great music. Hope to see you live one day, but I live I Kentucky, and don't believe you're touring near anytime soon. But one always hopes.

[SIRROSLYNPARKS]

Crazy Good ! Wow In My Top 10 All Time

[thethairishsun]

Fair play I wasn't expecting him to go to the high note at all but absolutely nailed it

[jameslopezpops]

WOW is all I can come up with.

[stevie]

The Best Band bar none, Great slow version of laid too CHEERS.

[duhusker]

Always loves this song. Was lucky to have seen them live in the mid-90s. The lyrics of this song are absolutely brilliant.

This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top

My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside a till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Line my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home

Laid
Laid

[MalcolmHewitt-wuyo]

If it wasn't for this song wasn't on repeat I wouldn't have convinced my son thanks much James

[JWHook-dnes]

Damn. Just stumbled upon this. Brilliance.
