Hey, my dad turned me on to James in 94 when I was in High school and they've been mine (and my dad's) favorite band ever since. My dad also died of lung cancer, just this last October. James brings back great memories of listening to them in the car with my dad, my best friend in the world who had the greatest taste in music. They are a precious gift indeed my friend.

Mark my words: some movie will use this in a key scene and the song will chart to the top, 30 years post release. World did not have a chance to appreciate this masterpiece and it’s still fresh as it was in the 90s.

We can only hope. I heard this song through my dad, and it’s still IMO my favourite song ever written. There’s something very surreal about it that everyone I have shared it with has just not gotten in the say way I have

You're so right! I absolutely loved this song when it came out and knew it was good, and others liked James but not to the level they should have, thinking back on it now. They are still so relevant and so much better than a lot of what's played now. People just have to be introduced somehow and they will be hooked 😊

One day I spotted that my little boy's eyes were exactly the same colour as his great grandmothers, as she was holding him in her arms. When covid hit and we couldn't see her, I would play this at home and think about that. I sent her a postcard during lock down to tell her about this song and I hope she got someone to play it for her. We would never get to see each other again and I play this on loop when I'm in the car on my own... Sometimes, when I look deep in his eyes, I swear I can see *her* soul. Miss you Nan. x

I would never have thought a band I never even heard of before called James would of had the impact they had at the festival Woodstock 94. Actually forget Friday nights lineup James out of all the bands who played at Woodstock 94 is the band I will always remember and who I fell in love with.I rushed right out when I got home and bought Laid,Goldfire & Stutter.

This is my favorite song by one of my favorite bands. I finally got to see them live this year when they headlined a festival at Hardwick Hall. It started raining around 5:00pm, by the time James came on it was biblical. Early in the set there was a flash of lightening so they played Sometimes sooner than planned. Sometimes in a thunder storm is by far the most magical and emotional experience I've had in 30 years of gig going.

Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul It's a monsoon And the rain lifts lids off cars Spinning buses like toys Stripping them to chrome Across the bay, the waves are something else Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore The boy's hit Lit up against the sky Like a sign Like a neon sign Then he crumples Drops into the gutter Cut strings Legs twitching The flood swells his clothes Delivers him on Delivers him on Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul There's four new colors in the rainbow An old man's taking Polaroids But all he catches Is endless rain Endless rain Endless rain Endless rain He says, "Listen!" Takes my head Puts my ear to his And I swear I can hear the sea Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes, I can see your soul (I can reach your soul) Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes, I can see your soul (I can touch your soul) Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul (I can hear your soul) Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes, I can see your soul Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul

I’m in love with that song from a little child, I was listening that when I was worked at Greece and when I was feeling good and only, something magic, always had put this song in my mind. Last summer I had the pleasure to see this man live, and hear that song in park life fest where I was sell Greek food. I’ll never forget that moment. I’m listening now this song again after so long time because of a girl who just met and she change everything in my life just in moment. Cheers guys. Cheers James. Keep your mind calm and your curiosity with no limits. With love from a Greek guy who lived at England for 2 years and now after a week in Greece continue his life here!!!!!!!!!

One day I spotted that my little boy's eyes were exactly the same colour as his great grandmothers, as she was holding him in her arms. When covid hit and we couldn't see her, I would play this at home and think about that. I sent her a postcard during lock down to tell her about this song and I hope she got someone to play it for her. We would never get to see each other again and I play this on loop when I'm in the car on my own... Sometimes, when I look deep in his eyes, I swear I can see *her* soul. Miss you Nan. x

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder" Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore

I can relate to that trippy☆⊙■●◎§
This is my favorite song by one of my favorite bands. I finally got to see them live this year when they headlined a festival at Hardwick Hall. It started raining around 5:00pm, by the time James came on it was biblical. Early in the set there was a flash of lightening so they played Sometimes sooner than planned. Sometimes in a thunder storm is by far the most magical and emotional experience I've had in 30 years of gig going.

If you love James and you love this song, then I love you!! :) Best song and best band for me ever!! They are the soundtrack of my life. Perfect band, perfect music, perfect lyrics, perfect voice, perfect live shows, perfect love!!
If ever there was a band that seemed to produce song after song, album after album that seems to represent my journey through life, it was James! Their music reaches every corner of your soul!
Loved these blokes since i was 19 im 45 now and not listened to much music for 8 yrs since we moved and my tunes got put away, picked up seven the other day and boooooom im back thanks lads.
The song has a beautiful hymn-like quality.
Saw James in Milwaukee back in 90s, fell in love with my wife during this song. Crying as I listen now.
Timeless Perfection! God I love this!
This song makes my heart sing when I hear it but when I hear it live and I get to sing along with Tim and thousands of others it makes my heart soar! Pure, beautiful, wonderful music from one of the bands who have become the soundtrack to my life.
There's a storm outside And the gap between crack and thunder Crack and thunder Is closing in Is closing in The rain floods gutters And makes a great sound on concrete On a flat roof, there's a boy Leaning against a wall of rain Aerial held high Calling "Come on thunder Come on thunder!" Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul It's a monsoon And the rain lifts lids off cars Spinning buses like toys Stripping them to chrome Across the bay, the waves are something else Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore The boy's hit Lit up against the sky Like a sign Like a neon sign Then he crumples Drops into the gutter Cut strings Legs twitching The flood swells his clothes Delivers him on Delivers him on Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes I swear I can see your soul There's four new colors in the rainbow An old man's taking Polaroids But all he catches Is endless rain Endless rain Endless rain Endless rain He says, "Listen!" Takes my head Puts my ear to his And I swear I can hear the sea Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes, I can see your soul (I can reach your soul) Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes, I can see your soul (I can touch your soul) Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul (I can hear your soul) Sometimes (sometimes), I look in your eyes, I can see your soul Sometimes, I look in your eyes, I can see your soul

Thank you 😊
****On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder"***** I strongly believe this is the BEST lyrics ever written in the English language.
This has never aged. As good today as it was the first time I heard it... far too long ago.
They don’t make music like this anymore. Class, proper class

They do, if you listen to James!
The brilliance of the driving guitars and drums against that narrative of the lyrics… it moves me every time I hear it.
James is a band that remains relevant ever more so after 30 years, Tim is unique and brilliant, he delivers a worldly depth that few artists possess. I hope that future generations take the time listen to James and appropriate their talent.
This takes me back 26 years ,I still love it as much as the first time i ever heard it ,they were and still are an awesome band
The 90s we're incredible and this song was a part of that. Social media wasn't a thing back then and we just worked our arses off all week to party at the weekends to get on it and listen to tunes like this with our friends❤
Discovered James in 1989 when just 15, now i'm ready to turn 48, happy to say this band helped shape my life, without their input i'd be someone else, thank you James from the bottom of my heart.

I’m in love with that song from a little child, I was listening that when I was worked at Greece and when I was feeling good and only, something magic, always had put this song in my mind. Last summer I had the pleasure to see this man live, and hear that song in park life fest where I was sell Greek food. I’ll never forget that moment. I’m listening now this song again after so long time because of a girl who just met and she change everything in my life just in moment. Cheers guys. Cheers James. Keep your mind calm and your curiosity with no limits. With love from a Greek guy who lived at England for 2 years and now after a week in Greece continue his life here!!!!!!!!!

Unbelievable how this band is almost unknown, at least in most of the non English speaking countries. Big Band and lovely songs like this one...absolutely love it.
Im not religious but James songs are so good and strike your soul so much that it's almost as if he is a messenger....of someone or something higher

One of the most underrated British bands that never made it big in America...this phenomenal song is from the album named Laid, I personally loved the previous album called Seven.....A music video that fits a great song, hard to find....while at the beach I always think of this song. James, keep up with the great music!

Discovered James by mistake. Fell in love instantly. This bed is on fire with passion and love..
After listening to over 16 years now my 14 year old son loves this song too. James are Legend.. Beautiful music.
I found James at the age of 15, come home was rocking the indie world, this band along with a few others like Bap Kennedy gave me a vision of life I could believe, something to search for, 28 years later I’m still got that vision and still searching though it be just a little skeptical 😬 we had so many greats bands in the 80’s and 90’s kinda gutted for today’s youth, regurgitated rubbish is all they got, peace ✌️
I will always love this song... it's perfect. Didn't really appreciate it at the time, was too into Rave and Hardcore to notice. I'm thankful that as I've grown older I now realise how good it is and will always be. Thanks James.
I absolutely love this band. It almost pains me that they don't have a million subscribers to their channel. Are they one the most underrated bands or what! Thank you James from all your fans!
I'm 19 and i'm proud to say that i find James to be a great, and unfortunately, underrated band.

I was born the year this came out, but my god I am so envious of my Sister and Brothers who were teens around this period! They got to experience all this great music right in the heart of the era... This tune is so uplifting to the point I just get lost in my own head... I wonder what it would have felt like being there before the technology era took hold... What a song! Enjoying reading everyones memories with it! Great vibes from this track....
