    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

    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 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. It was just perfect absolutely beautiful timing,My 1st time on LSD and hearing this song,I thought it was like some divine message and James was signing to me alone lol !

    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.

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

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!!!!!!!!!
