James Bay

"I used to dress up like Michael Jackson. I didn’t have the glove, but I had a red jacket like in Thriller."

"It's silly to call me the new Ed Sheeran. He can fill stadiums as a solo artist, but I'm not like that."

"When you make a certain sound and look your thing, it makes it all the more impactful to drop that and start with a new thing. So I cut my hair off and lost the hat. It felt only natural to me to tear that canvas down and put a new one up."

"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"

"Now we're sleeping near the edge Holding something we don't need All this delusion in our heads Is gonna bring us to our knees So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you And I'll be me?"

"I wanna give you wild love The kind that never slows down I wanna take you high up Let our hearts be the only sound"

"Tell me how to be in this world Tell me how to breathe in and feel no hurt Tell me how 'cause I believe in something I believe in us"
