LYRICS
Something In The Way She Moves by James Taylor

Well, there’s something in the way she moves
Or looks my way or calls my name
That seems to leave this troubled world behind
And if I’m feeling down and blue
Or troubled by some foolish game
She always seems to make me change my mind

I feel fine any time she’s around me now
She’s around me now almost all the time
If I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
She’s been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine

Every now and then the things I lean on
They lose their meaning
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should never let me go, no

She has the power to go where
No one else can find me
And to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know
Well, I guess I just got to know then

It isn’t what she’s got to say
Or how she thinks or where she’s been
To me the words are nice the way they sound
I like to hear them best that way
Doesn’t much matter what they mean
She says them mostly just to calm me down

I feel fine any time that she’s around me now
She’s around me now I guess just about all the time
And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
She’s been with me now quite a long, long time
Yes, I feel fine

My mother loved Sweet Baby James and played his albums all the time as I grew up. She passed away three days ago and this song makes me feel so good. I know she’s with me and still making me feel at peace.

On May 29, 2024 I saw JT is concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The concert started with a video of the very young JT starting to sing this song. About Every 15 secs JT aged a few years as he was singing this song. When the video finally arrived at the current JT age and look, Taylor stepped out on stage to finish the song with no distinction when the band started playing and the video stopped. What an intro to the concert!!! He played for two hours and just SLAYED it! I've been a JT fan since he made his intro into the music world in 1970 ( I was a sophomore in college). Go see JT before he stops won't regret it!

That voice. That face. Brilliant quintessentially American artist, poet and musician.

These BBC recordings of James Taylor absolutely astonish me. It was such a complicated, divided, and conflicted time, and here comes this strung out, homeless heroin addict with the most honest, pure and virtuosic live performances ever recorded. And, in my opinion, no solo live performance has ever come close.

Life is so hectic, but James Taylor is one of only a handful of recording artists/singers that put me at peace almost immediately. So glad he’s been and always will be a part of my musical life. ‘Love Always’ Matthew 21:22

The effortlessness with which he performs this great song is just staggering.

[barackmycat]

I`m a 65 year old and this imo is the best song JT ever wrote.

[elimartin]

James, I’m young buck about to turn 19 years old. Your music has brought so much joy to my life, thank you for your life, and your gift

[dbsnyder]

Everything time I hear this song, my wife of 40+ years comes to mind.
She's been with me now, quite a long, long time, yes, and I feel fine.

[MrSteve]

This song is near and dear to me, about a genuine love I had for someone over fifty years ago. I never told them and still think of them to this day.

[f.frederickskitty]

What a handsome, talented young man ❤ I wish I had been older back then to appreciate it in real time.

[greenbyrdd]

Just beautiful. The lyrics, the voice, the melody, the acoustic guitar. Perfection.

[carlrosendorf]

He is a gem
I cry listening to him.
The tears cascade.
Peace 2023

[dannysmith]

An American Treasure then and now. Live forever Sweet Baby James. What a gift GOD has given you.

[micahfaith]

To you who used to sing this to me, I miss you. Please be safe, healthy and happy.

[pumpkinmaryam]

We are so fortunate to have this performance preserved

I've been a fan of James Taylor since 7th grade in 1970. I've seen him live 6 times. I sang Sweet Baby James to my unborn children, then as a lullabye when they were young. This is one of my fav songs....in tears here 💜

[johnknottenbelt]

Who could not be inspired by such a beautiful expression of pure love. ❤ Every song he sings is straight from the heart & so comforting, whether he sings of heartbreak or joy, there always seems to be an assurity that all will be okay. From my 'bedsit years' in 1970 through the subsequent years when I started to find my feet, Sweet Baby James accompanied me through his music. And as I sit here in my 75th year, we still 'ride shotgun, free & easy'. James you good man, Long may you Ride. ❤😊🎉

[migfredcastillo]

That voice is a great reminder of an awesome era.

[elisabettabubola]

He’ so handsome ! And his voice is like velvet
