James - Ring the Bells (acoustic)

[HippieJimi]

As Mr.Burns from the Simpsons would say....

EXCELLENT!!!

[rebelbhoy1888]

Dam fine version.

[BruceArctor]

I want to believe.

[cryerri]

this is the ultimate uplifting song. In my opinion---James' best.

[OnlytrueDiva]

Just watched D.P.O. Long live the X-Files. Best series ever. And goddamn good soundtrack!!! What a song!!!

[sensawada]

salud !!!!!

[cimetiere]

X-Files <3

[MrRybecc]

Music does`nt get any better than this. This version is genius.

[charmand79]

To me this is the original. The "original" version comes nowhere near this one

[D3Nih]

Manchester Free Trade Hall 1992,I think,went to an acoustic gig that James did there,was brilliant

[wendy1harrison1]

WHAT A DRUMMER!!! I

[moscowflyerscousins]

Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for posting this. Such a brave song.What a great version. An entire James unplugged tour would be something!

[dentaltubetsai55]

Anyone else notice he messed up the lyrics?

Instead of "when you let me FALL...grew my own wings"

he said "when you let me FLY...grew my own wings"

oops. Still, love the song. Best James song.

[moscowflyerscousins]

@dentaltubetsai55 one rejects a God, one accepts?

[Erugolr]

best album with james ?

[rozniy]

Strangely, this song makes me feel like crying... I dunno...

[Tronulas]

It always gives my goosebumps listening to most James songs.

Best keep secret in Manchester, Love them. NEW TOUR DATES RELEASED

[Memoznack]

Irene this song is for you, when you let me die my spirit is free there is nothing challenging me, you are still in my heart, i love you.

[jjca2]

Amazing!!!! Thanks

[dexcover99]

Okay ppl, ive been searching for this song 4 some time now, i found it but not this live one...so here are some ways to get it: 1. download it with itunes its 00,99 i think, or 2. get a youtube video downloader, download it into mp4, then convert it to mp3,....

[OrkotheDorko]

Or you can send me a message and I can send you the mp3.

[rosswoof]

lol - that would have been my number 1

[milkyjoe505]

Can you send me this mp3, much appreciated.

[MrJonathanNolan]

@OrkotheDorko :)

awesome. feel the love. and this song is a gamechanger for anyone's life imo.

[joyous31710]

@OrkotheDorko could you please send an mp3 version of this song to me? I have alternative nrg on tape from when it was first released and haven't been able to find this song anywhere as a stand-alone mp3. Many thanks in advance!

[pimpa16]

Espectacular!

[nobreadalone]

I am not a fan of james... but I really like this song.

[charliechimpie1]

long live james, one of the best bands to come out of the uk.

[yallnome06]

[suthes]

i have this cd..its v good!

[enjoyingmylife]

Just saw the band two nights ago in Boston... so very very good still after all these years. This track is so wonderful, literally brings tears to my eyes. Now search "James - Ring The Bells (Alternative NRG Live)" for the other version discussed here.

[adslegend]

The best British band ever.

[rebl]

Wonderful...

[kolyiken]

I`m searching this very song, in the context of an X-Files episode named D.P.O. So far the search was unsuccessful, cause I don`t know if the author is James of anyone else.

[carlito72]

Great album alternative NRG, played that a lot through the 90's.

[JetJockey87]

ME too! I watched DPO and thought it sounded dope while that kid was getting electrocuted.

[57chevybigblock]

and dpo was a very special episode,with filter,the vandals,vandals shirts an posters and stuff... it was one of the best episodes ever. the version wich was played by the jukebox is also on youtube. grtz...

[pisces2099]

You are utterly correct. Version in question- "James - Ring The Bells (Alternative NRG Live)"

[SecondaryMessenger]

You're almost right, langolier2999. It's on the Alternative NRG compilation, but they DID play this version in Lisboa, during the SAL festival, I think it was in the year 2000... I was there and it was an awesome gig!

[langolier2999]

Sem dúvida a melhor música dos James, pah. Eu vi-os no coliseu em 1992. The story so far... lol

[langolier2999]

I guess this was recorded in Lisbon

[langolier2999]

I guess this was recorded in lisbon

[mborcea]

very pink floyd-ish song. i like it.

[MichaelOzz]

this is from the bbc recorded show of James 1992 acoustic tour. I'm nearly certain that this was recorded at the London Town & Country Club

[sma240383]

So, its not on you tube, but it has to be

somewhere :)But you know the name of the gruep and the song on this version.

Greenpeace with Alternative Energy!?

[OrkotheDorko]

"Alternative NRG: Greenpeace Compilation" is the exact title. You can find it used, on Amazon.

[OrkotheDorko]

According to another youtube poster, the X-Files version of this song is on a Greepeace compilation called Alternative Energy.

[sma240383]

I think what he is trying to say is that the version that they play in the x-files episode

"DPO" is much better, something i would agree too. Let me know if anyone know where i can find that version, please!

[teddy320]

muy buen tema, pero es mucho mejor en la versión que aparece en el album ALTERNATIVE NRG versción que aparece en el episodio de los x files "DPO" versión que hasta ahora desde hace años no la encuentro, si alguien la tuviera please la subiese a esta pag. thanks

[OrkotheDorko]

Any way you can translate that to english? I don't know spanish. Sorry.

[kolyiken]

Yo lo tengo en VHS... si me pasás un tip de còmo convertirlo y subirlo, lo hago. Son tres minutos impresionantes, tanto por el video como por la versión.
