    James Bay is this breath of fresh air coming from the green lands of Hitchin, not too far from London. Aged 23, the British singer and songwriter draws his inspiration from various artists such as Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen as well as his compatriot James Blake. He delivers songs of pure emotion, mixing delicate folk, soul and pop-rock notes.
    If you are lucky enough you will see him performing at the prestigious Glastonbury festival, or opening for Stevie Wonder’s concert in London and for Hozier’s American tour.
    Otherwise, 3emeGauche has a consolation prize for you : James Bay released a bit of his magic and sang for us the vibrant Hold Back the River !
    James Bay, c’est ce vent de fraicheur venu des contrées verdoyantes d’Hitchin, près de Londres. A 23 ans, cet artiste compositeur et interprète puise son inspiration aussi bien chez Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen ou encore son compatriote James Blake pour nous délivrer des mélodies à l’émotion pure, mêlant sonorités folk, soul et pop-rock.
    Vous aurez peut être la chance de le voir se produire cette année au prestigieux Glastonbury Festival, ou encore en première partie de Stevie Wonder à Londres et de Hozier lors de sa tournée d’automne aux Etats-Unis.
    Sinon, 3èmeGauche vous offre un lot de consolation : James Bay nous dévoile un peu de sa magie et interprète pour nous le vibrant Hold Back the River !

    I put on this song in my car when i was driving back from the funeral of a childhood friend. « Once upon a different life, we rode our bikes into the Sky ».... it made me cry like a baby. I really think the tide of the river is time. It talks about people being separated, not because of some dispute, just by life , and the regrets it causes when it’s too late

    Tried to keep you close to me
    But life got in between
    Tried to square not being there
    But think that I should have been
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Once upon a different life
    We rode our bikes into the sky
    But now we call against the tide
    Those distant days are flashing by
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold oho, oho
    Oho, oho
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Songwriters: Iain Archer / James Bay

    Finally someone I feel every tone he sings and plays. It feels that it's coming from his deep true inside. Usually music nowadays (even though it might be nice songs and professionally played) does not touch me as it does not feel honest somehow. Anyway, amazing voice, amazing song, Im thankful!

    I swear every time I find a live performance of this song he does it different somehow and I always love it. I currently have 5 versions of this song on my iPod and I think this will have to be number 6. He usually goes all in for the vocals on this song like 110% even on other "acoustic" versions, but here he actually holds back on his vocals and gives the song a much softer touch, even slowing down the tempo a little. I really like it! I just never get tired of this song.

From the same persons, but I´m different like this, what this persons thinking of. I´m not this men, but i know......... and some people everytime thinking of, the same stupid primitive things and so many women(and some men) saying so many things thats all wrong, because they don´t know, who I` am and they don`t understand, what i mean, when I say I don`t want you, to this persons, who go me on the nerves and make WAR, to every men or every person who is not like this persons, its the same like 1949 or in diktaturen (I don´nt want this) and they don´t understand, some people in other countrys are the same like this and i don´t like this and i say NO to this people, women and men.
    I don´t want this, thats wrong and I´m not interested in so stupid primitive things, like primitive humans or neandertaler/innen.

    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us hold each other

    Tried to keep you close to me
    But life got in between
    Tried to square not being there
    But think that I should have been
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Once upon a different life
    We rode our bikes into the sky
    But now we call against the tide
    Those distant days are flashing by
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and be by your side
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
    Hold back the river, so I
    Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
    Hold back the river, hold back
    Hold oho, oho
    Oho, oho
    Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
    Let us…
