"Recovery" from James Arthur's recently released debut album stripped down and performed live for the first time at his secret show in London at 229 Venue on 4 November 2013.
So beautiful!! Can't stop listening. The emotion in this live version is so touching and just heart-breaking. How lucky was the audience to hear this live and up close! Love James sooooo much!!!
This is heartbreaking. First time I heard it on the album I cried. The track on the album is really good, keeps building and building- but THIS? THIS is just PURE, RAW emotion. Hearing this made me sad and happy at the same time, sad cause the lyrics are so personal to James and I care so much about him, happy because this is the James I fell in love with singing his own songs on a sofa somewhere (such as long live the king). God, I'm so glad I'm gonna hear this live at least four times on tour!
This is beautiful on the cd and equally beautiful live. Powerful yet very soulful, sentimental and sad. I love how there's truth in everything James does - good on you James!!!
So grateful to you for uploading this video. I keep coming back to listen - it's so beautiful and just perfect. Its the next best thing to being in the audience a few feet away from James. So glad to experience his masterful, deeply moving performance - Thank You so much!!
This guy has raw talent! He has a bright future. I hope he gets big. Because the music in this generation is garbage... Some are good, but in general the music industry needs more of soul in music. Just saying...
