James Blake - Life Is Not The Same (Official Lyric Video)

Follow James Blake:

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

James Blake's harmonies are so haunting, beautiful and emotional. He never misses.

[trexmeemo]

I can imagine the whole album is gonna make us cry.

[jessicakcarvalho]

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.

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.

The whole thing is amazing, but that chorus is INCREDIBLE!

[lauraguillemin]

I feel heartbroken and no one has even left me

[luisantunes]

Joji and James Blake, the collab we all needed.

[Iam__leon]

You know James Blake is one of you favourite artists when you like the song before the beat drops.

[ImRyozanpaku]

This song is in a different level. Got chills, shed tears.
Can’t wait for the album.

[SaintValz]

I love all James work. The day I physically meet someone that enjoys his music will be an insane moment

[ambermoon]

the layering in this song is so beautiful: from the lofi beat, heavenly vocals, sombre lyrics, heavy piano, dynamic synths -- very well executed!

[ALee-Acting-TV]

I've loved James since I was a youn'n ... How does he keep getting better !!

[ThePaoOfTooh]

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.

[cheesybirdmess]

Praying for people who never discovered James Blake 🙏

[alejaglop]

Thank you so much NamJoon... I love you.

[styles]

[BdManus]

Amazing vocal range. Song is so sad but beautiful at the same time.

[toddhoward]

10 years of James Blake. What an amazing journey since that debut album.

I love this sound. Good music

[kkenny]

This sounds like a mix between both The Colour in Anything and Assume Form. Can't wait for the new album!

[getsetgoootothemoon]

Thank rm for suggesting this masterpiece...
