Epic song. Nothing worse than having a friend break your heart. It's a very specific pain and hurts more than a lover or family member's betrayal. Finally a song that articulates this heavy emotion. James Blake forever.

The saddest thing is to grieve someone who is still alive..it’s like a subtle constant consistent shock.

It kills your heart dead

"all this pain and gained nothing in the end" i can relate to this song

"And I’ve pushed myself to be vulnerable And then slept with one eye wide All that pain and nothing gained in the end" i felt that in my soul 😫😫😫

This one deserves a well recorded solo piano version.

He performed this on IG live during quarantine.. the video is posted on YT

This is so beautiful it is gonna be part of a movie or series soundtrack, I swear

This song is very meaningful to me. The pain is intense. He captured it so well and so beautifully.

Damn, he did it again. What a prodigy. Nothing but Love

He deserves a lot of likes and comments, guys! The album is a pure pleasure and trip to heaven! Let’s make James happy and inspire him !🪐❤️

Damn, My guy is a vocal beast!!! ever since Wilheim and Retrograde I've been locked in!!

I'm so thankful for this song, because it addresses something, that I feel so deeply. Also this song touches so many souls in the comments and I'm so glad, that we all feel connected to this song and it is bittersweet, but also reassuring.

I have haunted many photographs In the background, in the fore And as many loves that have crossed my path In the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends It was friends who broke my heart Well fair dues, nobody prepares you And nobody's prepared, nobody's prepared And they tell you "just you wait It kills you, and only love can break you More the more you care And all, and all in love is fair" But it's not fair I have haunted many photographs In the background, in the fore And as many loves that have crossed my path In the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends It was friends who broke my heart And I've pushed myself to be vulnerable And then slept with one eye wide All that pain and nothing gained in the end In the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends In the end, in the end, it was friends In the, in the end In the, in the end In the, in the end In the, in the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends In the end, it was friends It was friends who broke my heart

James Blake just knows how to speak to our souls in a beautiful way with every album. God bless his artistry.... I'm truly grateful for artist like him, so authentic but uniquely different from the bunch

Oh my god this is amazing

This is the best your voice has ever been recorded.

My heart breaks when i hear this song

Definition of perfection😭

Wow that voice!!!!......I will see you every time you come to my city in concert.

When I listen to it my melancholy appears to me as my best quality

FRIENDS THAT BROKE YOUR HEART Im a big fan of the entire album

So painfully true. I keep coming back to this song for comfort as my heart breaks more deeply from the one friendship I thought was the strongest in my life. “only love can break you more, the more you care”

So relatable. Hurts way more when it’s your friends.

In love we become more fragile as Snowflackes ,and we also learn that our Vulnerability can be transformed into power.WE FORGIVE. Mr.Blake,your new album is perfect.Thank you so much for sharing 💞

that hook is so simple and so fucking beautiful. one of the best lines he’s ever written. and that’s saying something!

Such an amazing voice and song. Brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes you can't trust those close to your heart 💔 x

He is so unique

there's a thin line between friends and snakes

I like more this version than the piano version, I think this has more sentiment in this! I feel the pain in his singing.

James Blake silently going for the 'best artist of the year' award. Absolutely in love and can't wait to listen to the rest of the album as I'm just stuck on the first few songs so far... ♡♡♡ Would love to hear the studio piano version one day ♡♡♡ Amazing work and I'm forever in love with those beautiful harmonies xxx

Your voice is something else 💛 I wish I could send this song to a friend called Igor (I think - long story). One thing we did the most was sharing music. I miss that. He broke my heart, but he helped me to mend it too, so, I guess "in the end, we were friends". 💛🇧🇷

LETS GOOOOO

That was definately worth the wait! You never disappoint. There's something about your music that I love so much! So, I'm hooked on this album💚 Thanks!!!

I've only been listening to James for about a year there are entrancing qualities to his music it seems throughout his albums it is the journey that is the destination. He goes places and his music becons upon the listener multiple listenings to grasp what is truly going on. Its as if though he's not playing harmonies that play well together but something far more complex that has the music finding its harmonies serendipitiously. Its so organic and the sound does not sound contained within a small spectrum but like its coming from somewhere else on the Earth at the moment he sings his angelic harmonies someone else is playing the music that beautifully juxtaposes and harmonizes with his voice vibrating in the ether unknowing that elsewhere on this small blue dot other elements are forging their way together. It is dark music with the brightest of light. It is discordance with the most whimsical and other worldly harmonies, textures, complementary and like ice in water they are of the same substance but different at the same time. Thanks for the music. It is a journey you are taking me on and it is one i so willingly feel is necessary to take. Simply amazing. Thank you

His voice made me get goose bumps. in a good way tho

Cannot wait to get the pre ordered record and spin it all day long

Wow. This is just wow. I suddenly feel colder in my room, like something passed through my body while listening to this. Lingered in my chest, left me thinking...

Thank you James.

Beautiful song and so sad really.

Why do these type of things happen to the most genuine people?! Sadly we never learn our lessons or stop loving our friends.

In love thank you james ❤️

Wow..... 💯✨

Hi Wendy - I just listened to this incredible song and was then reading the comments. Nice surprise to see you here with your usual lovely comment 💛

Stunningly done! Appreciate you.

Beautiful piece , much love from Vienna!!!

"In the end, it was friends It was friends who broke my heart" Sadly, It's those who have access to your heart, who know exactly how to hurt it.

Everybody says “we are friends” in the end. A professional way of ending things…

1:43 that scared the shit outta me

1:43 I got chills. It screams so much pain.

"All that pain and nothing gained...smh I love his music

This album is my album of the year. James, thank you. Keep it coming. Please:)

Magnifique morceau..

Holy shit.

Listening to the project, it touches home👍

In The End. It's all very much Beautiful

Bruh this image is so creepy and makes me sad, I want you whole JAMES!

bruh I'm only finding out 1 month after it comes out that James Blake released a new album, sorry 4 being late - huge fan

Anybody else think this could be a James Bond song?

My worst heart break came from a friend that i once called best...

D, you broke my heart and you'll never know.

🖤

I believed he was my friend, then he choose the ones who broke me over me. He said in a text I was exaggerating. I never heard him anymore. I still can't elaborate all that shit. Music is the only one that will never betray me. This one hits really hard, James 💜

I don't have friends anymore 😔 My only best friend broke my heart and it's really been so hard to me... I know she doesn't care I know she already have a lot of friends. But for me she was the only one... She hurt me so much.

Are we in Heaven already?

Let me take it

Who made the video (artwork)? Anyone know?

I wish I didn't have to listen to this song.

Oh... I can`t talk. Only.
