    this is the best live performance of this song that I've seen. the synchronization between James' and the shaker/drummer's groove completely convey the emotion of this song and watching them rock out captivates me every single time I watch. I absolutely love the way James feels the music at 1:35-1:41. Man. Chills.

    This song makes me cry. I feel so related to it... I lost and distanced myself from so many friends when I moved to another country for 2 years (obviously unintentionally). I wasn't there when one of the most important persons of my life died; I was travelling. "I should have been, I should have been, I should have been"... that's what I've been telling myself for the last 4 years... but at the end this is what happens: life gets in between. I could never sing this song to a crowd. I always wonder how artist do it, singing their emotions to a crowd and not crying! Respect and love xxx
