    I genuinely love this music video. The way it portrays how shit life can get and when you try and force it to get better when you "romanticise" it just doesn't work and your life gets worse. This is so creative and the song is even better!

    This made me cry, it's such an emotional story portrayed really well through the use of imagery and symbolism within both the lyrics and the visuals of the music video. You've done really well with this one and I'm glad I could join you on your journey of improvement over the time that I've known and supported you. Also I hate to break the mood but that coat fucks. Literally the coolest coat I've ever seen.

    Lyrics (I wrote it out so I could see them all. It's such a beautiful song I'm literally holding back tears right now. Thank you so much for your beautiful music James Marriott):
    It's the same old story
    And the same look in my eye
    Don't pretend you see me,
    It only serves me right
    I won't go slowly
    She said "won't you call me one more time?"
    If you insist
    God Forbid that I romanticize this
    God forbid that I romanticize this
    God forbid that I romanticize this
    It's the same old story
    When you start to lie
    And you push against me
    To delay my decline
    I won't go slowly
    She said "won't you hold me one more time"
    A bitter kiss
    God forbid that I romanticize this
    God forbid that I romanticize this
    God forbid that I romanticize this
    The last time
    This is the last time
    This is the last time (this is the last time)
    Pick up the phone
    To let you know
    That you're alone now
    The last time (this is the last time)
    I'll pick up the phone to let you know
    That you're alone now
    God forbid that I romanticize this
    God forbid that I romanticize this
    Let me know if I messed anything up

      You bloody legend. Now for the chords.
      Verse:
      Dmaj7- (repeat only first time) - Amaj - Gmaj -Gmin (only at romantisice this)
      Chorus:
      Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin - Gmaj -Gmin (at romanticise this)
      Bridge (unsure but i hope tjis works. Otherwise fiddle around abit):
      Dmaj7 - Amaj - Bmin - Gmaj - A#maj
      Then the last chorus is just a chorus again. And the verse is the same blah blah.
      Hope you enjoy it.

    I think it might be the first time I ever comment on a video, but damn that was amazing.
    I went into it without any expectations because I never listened to anything made by James, I am so pleasantly surprised. The vocals fit the mood of the music video perfectly and it's complimented by some really moving instrumentals. From the mixing to your voice itself, the lyrics and everything made it a very emotional listen.
    Thank you for making this kind of music, hope to see you have the success you deserve with it :)

    I don't know if this was intentional or if I'm just reading to far into it but the ending where the guitar starts up again really furthers that message of being in a cycle you cant get out of, even when you knowing that it won't end well. Plus with him starting of video of what I assume is the wedding tape again.
    I also have a suspicion this is about loss tearing apart relationships/marriages cause that looked like a kids bicycle helmet he was holding during the counselling and wearing in the bike ride. If that's the case that's even more heart-wrenching cause the mix of grief from losing a partner and a family member all rolled into one.
    This is such and amazing song and I love the video for it, it adds so much to the message its so well done!

    This song means a lot to to me. As a Trans-Women. Who has a bit of a struggle, being a women. I love this song. Part of me is constantly pushing the trans side of me away. Like I have to be my original self. Sometimes the trans side wants to come out, it wants attention. My parents are exactly ‘supportive’ of me. They seem to think that this isn’t right for me, simply because I didn’t have this dysphoria as kid. And how when my Mom met her little brother, she knew he was gay. And because of this part of me is like, “no im not trans I have to be who I originally am. I can’t do this”. And throughout all the transphobic comments and just things I keep getting told, it’s just like, god forbid that I romanticize these feelings of wanting to be a women. I just want to embrace these feelings and I want to romanticize them, like I’m being criticized for it. The ending of the song feels like to me, the last time that I push these feelings away and fully romanticize them. Which is something I haven’t been able to experience yet, but I really want too. I’m hoping one day, I say, “You know what, this is the last time. That I pick up the phone, to let the straight of me know, that they’re alone now.” And the trans side of me can fully be like understood and embrace itself. Theres a comic like the scenario I’m describing I can’t quite remember the name I think it was Chamelon who can’t change colors or something. I’m hoping one day that I’ll be able to experience that last bit though, and make this song even more special than it already is to me.

      Music and art is interpative. But honestly. I kind of agree with yours. But i also think that he is somehow coping and that romangicizing this cope is not a good thing and only makes it harder.

    I like how the balloons could symbolise the fragility of love/relationships without the correct amount of attention or care. The way that he is the only ‘human’ may show that he has the most power in the situation, yet disregards it and goes down a path of self destruction. This power is also seen by him throwing the balloons out the window, showing he has control over the situation.

    The fact that me and my best friend were literally just listening to this and then he kissed me on the line “god forbid I romanticise this “

    James is the type of person to hold a concert and just flip everybody off then it ends

      Yeah…I can already imagine that happening. But I’m sure it would be fun to go to a concert of his
