[graywarrior]

FANTABULOUS!

[rockguru123]

I have goosebumps just watching, one of the best songs ever wrote.

[Tuxamariaguerra]

tive a verdadeira bençao de estar em cascais na praia no concerto em agosto 2011,falar e escrever para quê.Do melhor que ha,dificil de explicar,mas tao cheio de sentir.........

[Eatsaver]

Watch my James vid it's amazing

[55bluenose]

sorry to say our days are gone Crosby Stills and Nash lover looking at the music scene now , i may seem like an old fart but i can not listen to anything after 1985

[TheHassylad]

i was here , did any one else go to loads of their gigs and remember seeing stereophonics as support or was i just dreaming ??

[Tractorboy121]

Close my eyes and I am back as young bloke with out a care in the world a true music anthem sit down very loudly lol this is timeless

[dankroboth]

FCC""$&@

[plowize]

the best thing i like about this is 0.00 to 8.18

[TheKristie111]

@metalfan....last I checked James isn't metal so why don't you go find some other bands that are! Secondly I will post whatever I want wherever I want so keep your oponions to yourself.

[niallmw1]

1.48 the spitting image of my late aunty who loved this band so much, as much as my dad, who has raised me on this beautiful music

[TheKristie111]

When my ex-boyfriend Rob J Greiss of Allentown, PA sent me this song last year and said it was his anthem I thought it was a bit extreme. But a year later knowing everything he has done in his life to hurt the people who love him most, the secrets he has kept, the never ending lies I understand completely. I swing between extreme anger and sorrow :( I must have listened to this dong 100x this week. I need to let go completely soon though.

[MetalFan10101]

@TheKristie111 please dont bring your personal problems onto youtube, this page is to comment on the video not your life. " I have listened to this song 100x this week " would of been enough. Anyway good song.

[HessA1959]

1st Class...

[MJNSEIFER]

01:28 to 02:17 brought tears to my eyes...

Also (this is at the description of the vid) I'm guessing the reason Tim wanted his own way on how this song was played was because he wrote this song when he was feeling down one day, so I'm guessing this is very personal song to him or something? Either way, I love this song.

[millydaisylove]

I like that at 15 years of age I went to see them in Chicago, saw them rock it in a tiny venue but can come on here and see the true epic anthems that James are just too good at.

[pauledwards29uk]

saw james on the 1november 2011 and they were awsome.

[SirCreef]

and an end to a brilliant era............and a brilliant band

[liquidfxx]

I saw these in manchester not so long ago - this song sent a shiver up my spine and the hair on my arms stand on end, Amazing thanks for posting : - ) x

[MetalFan10101]

@liquidfxx me too, i guess i should close my window.

[PIRANHOMEN]

special voice and band

[wobblydangly]

Thumbs up if your sitting down now and emotionally charged

[TheTommyrockin]

hands down, the best band i've ever seen live. booth rules.

[gogban]

scroll up.. scroll up .. you'l miss the song ..

[Faddels101]

Love this song - utterly amazing! :)

[lifeafter3pints]

Absolutely brilliant tune! (No doubt they have some other good songs)

[GraceUnderPressure1]

That was such a beautiful intro to this song :)

[kah1233]

james are the best live band i have ever seen

[pookievision]

Lol says final performance of the band and writes a delightful heart felt description and the top of the list of similar videos is James T in the park 2007 ! lol chuckles x

[dcgrist1968]

just superb

[savesea]

Tanks for the GREAT CONCERT in Cascais,you are a GOD in STAGE

[whoisfutureproof]

thumbs up for all of us still listening to James in 2011

[Mfgois]

I just saw this, live. I'm still coming down from heaven.

[ThePrimasid]

i cry for this song... i dont know why

[tartan1985]

Best time of my life. Was when this song was around. Everytime i hear it. It takes me back. Thanks for the upload bud!

[londoncarvalhosa]

I will go to hes concert day 19!

[siyuntz]

@londoncarvalhosa they were in Portland Oregon not too long ago. It was wonderful.

[londoncarvalhosa]

@siyuntz yes i know it!

[ScottAndersonYT]

Does no one here realise that James are back together and have been for several years?

[maargaret007]

Yesterday I heard them @Positivus festival in Latvia! I apsolutely love them!!!! Sit down! :D

[Fahrenheit1407]

Why in the description bar does it say "Playing at P.J. Molloys, Dunfermline on Aug 13, 2011" ? From what I can gather, it seems that it's James Walsh who is playing and not the band James :S

[kamikadze22]

yesterday we all sat down on a muddy field @ Positivus festival in Latvia. :]

[osiskars]

@kamikadze22 ye thats right about 20'000 people! IT was so amazing to see Tim Booth and the other band members so awed and happy, it was very touching! Hope to see the live videos from Positivus soon!

[dgas71]

One of my all time favourite songs. I saw James in Toronto the first time they played in North America. I think it was in 92. During the encore, everybody sat down on the floor and sang sit down. The band had so much energy and it's still one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

[EuTuboSim2010]

milk and cookies? great oportunity to sit down and shut up!

[Andi090386]

Keep hearing this at Work.... love it everytime I hear it

[ROBERTFLETT]

Brilliant , his words are full of brilliance .. I will miss you James .. love and hope and wishes and love and hope .I have known his words for less than 6 months , Im stoked i have heard the words of wisdom and kindness ,, Good luck James . Brilliantte..Thumbs Up All The Way..Thank you for posting this whoever you are ,, MONUMENTAL

[tonycatman]

Remember seeing them in Camden Palace.

They hadn't even released a single then, but word of mouth had spread about how good they were, and the place was packed out.

[madtwatter88]

May i start by saying i am not a James fan- i have none of their music & never saw them live although i like this song ....BUT - i was absolutely blown away by this epic preformance, it's fucking amazing- thank you so much for posting Anyone2u. x

[dublincraic]

One of my fav songs, love the lyrics!!

[scotthart2]

Simon Cowell watch this and then hang your head in shame in a quiet room far, far away from the rest of the public

[mrgreentumz]

@scotthart2 wise word's, let them be a lesson to others watchin, just listen.....

[Horaciow14]

@scotthart2 Why Simon Cowell?

[scotthart2]

@Horaciow14 For unleashing crap bands onto the public and let's not forget Xfactor....absolute garbage.

[scullybug1]

@Horaciow14 For constantly churning out generic, shit music with the sole purpose of making money instead of putting time and effort into music with the intention of expressing yourself

[davidsanchezvasquez]

@scotthart2 Who is Simon Cowell?

[egilmour5982]

@scotthart2 wgaf

[egilmour5982]

@scotthart2 wgaf about simon cowel

[BigSexc]

I agree. The 'dislikes' don't deserve ears and that grouping of words is too freakin' good.

[letsmakemusicbaby]

It's sad this band doesn't exist anymore, so sad.......

[charliekilley]

[MyNAMEwasERASED]

This song is impossible to sit down to!

[pg999]

I swing from high to deep, extremes of sweet and sour, I hope that god exists,

I hope I pray… Now I've swung back down again, It's worse than it was before

If I hadn't seen such riches, I could live with being poor!

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!

[willowlands1]

It doesn't get any better than this...except live! I saw Tim at the Commodore in Vancouver fantastic worth every penny and more. I'd love to be in Tim's camp...he could be my guru anytime, just sign me up for some gourmet cheese, 5Rhythms, Tim's philosophy, and I'll be there...I'd sit down with him anytime, anywhere.

[rodmanpuma1]

why that guy is without hair¿¿¿

[joaodaeira]

já ouvi tantos adjectivos baixos sobre esta banda mas a minha opinião não se altera- são uma banda fenomenal. Ressuscitam os mortos, experimentem morrer e tentem ouvi-los!...

[bazzasan64]

this song means ya can be mad and there nowt wrong with sit down by me :)

[Qualitybird2000]

[BoxerfanUK]

[TheJookkeerr]

When they played Sit down in Sweden (Hultsfred-festival) in the early -90´s, the 10 000 people simply just sat down! It was fantastic feeling!

[mcgeem5]

Seattle, October 9th, small venue. I can't wait!

[ruideng111]

[dajstar]

what is wrong with the people that click the 'don't like' button on this ??

[ourgadgie]

one of the best lines ever in a song "If I didn't see such riches I could live with being poor"!

[TheProfessorJoao]

I'm brazilian and I love British rock. Joao Luiz, São Paulo, Brazil

[MuffMaster13]
