Lyrics:
I don’t have to read into this
I don’t have to lean into the kiss
You move me naturally
I must be in pain cause I
I must be in pain cause I
I must be in pain cause I’ve never needed anyone before
Well nothing’s in vain cause I
Well nothing’s in vain cause I
Well nothing’s in vain cause I
Cause I’ve never had it as good before
Before
I don’t have to keep receipts any more
I don’t have to stand by the door
Cause you’re my family
You move me naturally
I must be in pain cause I
I must be in pain cause I
I must be in pain cause I’ve never needed anyone before
Well nothing’s in vain cause I
Well nothing’s in vain cause I
Well nothing’s in vain cause I
Cause I’ve never had it as good before
Before

Funny how i listen to this in 2020 quarantine and now it just gives me joy even when i remember that bad time

@ninatahash4537 6 месяцев назад

I produced and casted this. Thankyou for all the lovely comments. We wanted to document this lonely time and the emotional connection of music with designers from around the world

@dancerdas400 4 года назад

So many of the dancers featured give earthy vibes in their homes it’s so comforting. Also, love the vid as a whole

@jacksonmaloney9776 4 года назад

Amazing EP. Blake has achieved the rare feat of creating house bangers that don’t sound like manufactured emotion, but rather genuine vulnerability.

For anyone wondering, the couple dancing together in their dining room are dancing in what looks to be a modernized take on Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian artform that combines martial arts, dance, music, and theater! Really impressive and beautiful stuff! Never thought I'd see Capoeira in a James Blake music video!!
