a version of this song came on the radio 3.5/4 years ago when I was having a mental breakdown and I had an out of body experience. it saved my life.... still makes me bawl.
My husband chose this song as I walked down the aisle, up to 1:10. After we were introduced as a married couple, the rest of the song played. I had no idea what I was walking down to and this was perfect!
The first time I heard this song I was driving through western Nebraska between 5 and 6am, returning home to Minnesota from Tucson, and the sun greeted me and those Nebraskan hills perfectly, without a cloud in the sky. The video complements that memory so incredibly well and I cherish my memory even more having seen it.
It has been many years since I heard this song for the first time, now that I hear it again it gives me the same wonderful feeling as if it were the first time..... Beautiful song
The first time I heard this Jim James song, '' I want a new life '', it was a summer, I can't remember which one, I was riding on a quiet country road in Lanaudière, Québec , on a soft night. The sky was clear, the full moon was low on the horizon, red, announcing a hot day ahead. The lyrics of this song matched my mood then, in search of a new life. Although the video clip is ridiculous, I still enjoy Jim James again and his beautiful voice singing "I want a new life". I'm still in the same way of life pattern despite the gestures and efforts made to change my life, stumbling at the vagaries that prevent me, without despair however, because everything comes to the point who can wait, isn't it.
I love ❤ definitely needed to hear this rn. I'm at a point where I know I need to jump and I can be excited moving forward but I let fear get in the way. I won't let it get in the way anymore. I am the person i think I'm meant to be after all. Everyone deserves to exist including myself and my anyone else who feels all alone in the world.
got to meet Jim about 12 years ago after an MMJ show at the palladium..one of the nicest, smartest people i have ever met. I asked him if it was true he put his pants on just like everyone else one leg at a time..whats ironic is a few years later he said that exact same thing almost on american dad.
I saw Johnny pockets answering earlier is this man who's the best since Neil Young what a voice I hope you get this I know we both love Neil Young Jim James has gave me hope for music and My morning jacket 🧥 wat a band😅
The first time i heard this song i was fighting with my wife and was like damn this song just had to come on now lol 😂. Weird songs are always the best

Oye, abre la puerta Quiero una nueva vida Oye, y aquí es lo que es más Quiero una nueva vida, una nueva vida Bebé, vamos a dejar una cosa clara Hay mucho más polvo de estrella cuando tú estás cerca Yo pienso, realmente siendo sincero Quiero una nueva vida, una nueva vida Contigo Mom, Hey, abre la puerta Quiero una nueva vida Oye, y aquí es lo que es más Quiero una nueva vida, una nueva vida Bebé, vamos a dejar una cosa clara Hay mucho más polvo de estrella cuando tú estás cerca Yo pienso, realmente siendo sincero Quiero una nueva vida, una nueva vida Contigo Tú puedes ser una perfecta pintura Tu y yo Pero, tú sabes no será fácil And what’s more, Vale la pena buscar, (uhu) Bebé, abre la puerta Y comencemos tú nueva vida Oh, your new life Bebé, en la orilla Y comencemos tú nueva vida Tu nueva vida, una vez más
La première fois que j'ai entendu cette chanson de Jim James, '' I want a new life '', c'était un été, je ne me souviens plus lequel, je roulais sur une route de campagne tranquille, dans Lanaudière au Québec, par une nuit douce. Le ciel était clair, la lune pleine était basse à l'horizon, rousse, annonçant une journée chaude à venir. Les paroles de cette chanson concordaient avec mon état d'esprit d'alors, en quête d'une vie nouvelle. Bien que le vidéo-clip soit ridicule, j'ai toujours plaisir à réentendre Jim James et de sa belle voix chantant '' I want a new life ''. Je suis toujours dans le même pattern malgré les gestes et efforts déployés pour changer ma vie, me butant aux aléas qui m'en empêchent, sans désespérer toutefois, car tout vient à point qui sait attendre, n'est-ce pas.
This song hits me so hard...the incredible woman that I proposed to a year ago walked away before we could even set a date. Here I am, weeks later, hearing this for the first time, and god...I want to beg for her to give me another chance, but I am almost certain it would not work. I'm a bit of a songwriter, too. It's tempting to write a song about how much I want to be with her, even though she says we must go our separate ways...
"A New Life" Hey, open the door I want a new life Hey, and here's what's more I want a new life, a new life Babe, let's get one thing clear There's much more stardust when you're near I think I'm really being sincere I want a new life, a new life With you Hey, open the door I want a new life Hey, and here's what's more I want a new life, a new life Babe, let's get one thing clear There's much more stardust when you're near I think I'm really being sincere I want a new life, a new life With you Can't you see a perfect picture You and me But you know, it won't come easy And what's more It's worth looking for Babe, open the door And start your new life Oh, your new life Babe, on to the shore And start your new life Your new life, once more
