Jamie t - a new england

[GeekLikeYou]

Stripped down aceness

[aliray0777]

I wish you'd tour again J!!

[007d4nny]

Effortless Beauty.

[CSweeney94]

I love this cover sooooo much! Never thought anyone could come close to billy brags version but this is amazing.

[GarrriLee]

these songs make me proud to be English!

[Szaam]

This reminds me of my first year of uni. I commuted there and had a really fucking lonely existence. I used to listen to this all the time, while I was walking from the car park to lectures and while I was driving on the motorway. I had a courtesy car for a while because I smashed up my first car, and I could use an aux lead in my courtesy car so I used to play this through my iPod. You might think that this comment was bullshit, but I enjoyed sharing this.

[treeformlol]

I admire your bravery for putting this online. I will simply state that I prefer Braggs original massively and this is not particularly good in my eyes.

[siomusicchannel]

@treeformlol hehehe. you make jamie sound as if hes some twelve year old that is trying to make it big on youtube. jamies a pretty well known figure in the indie scene at the moment, two albums in to his career. and i would say its better than braggs, but then that is just up to personal opinion i guess

[ArcticMolly]

Marry me Jamez

[emilysingsalot]

just uploaded a little cover of this song, please please have a quick listen :)

[XDLibertyPearlyXD]

beautiful xx

[MrBoobboob123]

all u people dont know shit when your sayin "legend speaks his mind".... he didnt write it although he does perform the song in his own unique style he didnt write it ;) x

[bullbar2000]

legend speaks his mind

[luckystrike1]

Jamie T, please write music for all of us who are getting fucked over by this current government.

[tazzy27581]

@luckystrike1 You realise he didn't write this song, he is just doing a great take on a classic Billy Bragg song.

[luckystrike1]

@tazzy27581 Of course I know.

[thatsnotmyname69]

i need to meet jamie t.

no. seriously.

i need to meet this guy and have a beer with him or something.

[largie83]

@thatsnotmyname69 Ive met him twcie and had a few beers with him on one occassion, he loves a little drinking session. Hed probably be up for it!!

[elwoodmcr]

this is awful. i dont mind cover versions but dont ruin the original

[M45TERPiiC3]

@elwoodmcr

This isn't awful this is art!

You clearly dont know what real music sounds like.

[treeformlol]

@M45TERPiiC3

I can safely say that this is worse than Bragg's original, considering Bragg cannot sing thats a particular feat. Its too quiet, too fast and the guitar is sub-par. It makes me miss auto-tune.

And I aint some troll or a Bragg fanatic, I saw someone recommend this crap earlier.

[bioshockt]

@treeformlol The fact that you actually want auto-tune shows how good your music taste is. Go listen to your Rebecca Blacks and Justins Biebers who can't sing for shit.

[treeformlol]

@bioshockt It may have taken me 4 months to reply but I have something very simple to say. The fact that I have decent music taste is what is making me wish this track had Auto-Tune. It is shit. He cannot sing. At all.

Its not hard to understand at all.

This needs autotune because Jamie T is on the same level as both Black and Beiber. You want decent acoustic music? Go listen to Frank Turner.

[bioshockt]

@treeformlol I do listen to Turner, and I love him but I think T's better. Your going to attack him because he has his partial British slur? Its not something he can help. Like Tim Armstrong of Rancid, their voice has been damaged from booze. You don't need a "perfect" voice like Turner to make amazing music, able to hit right notes all the time. Its about putting forth soul and having fun and that's what this boy does. Turners a gentlemen in his tone, T a mischievous lad. I love em both for it

[JackJamesYoung]

i swear i cant listen to jamie t's voice without singin along

[xoxoannekeoxox]

every time i hear this song.

i just.

amazing.

[markcchallinor]

Just fantastic. Bragg, by JT!!!

[anikiontour]

Jamie T loves me. ;)

[oMcNuggetsv]

@anikiontour no he doesnt

[doggerbabos]

go on jamie!

[abicadabrax]

eee i well prefer billy bragg's version, i don't think this one is very good tbh

[screeeeeeeeeem]

Jamie T is one of the best biritish artists around everything about him is just real.

[rubberperson]

@screeeeeeeeeem yes he is real. hes human. only human

[JamesTheEntertainer]

Holy fuck

Most likely the most amazing thing to touch my ear.

[linkinsalez]

jamie-t ft lilly allen classic mate ;) rawhide

[onthewalkoffame]

Seriously. Everything this man touches is gold.

[xoxoannekeoxox]

:) so beautiful.

[iloveargos]

amazing cover <3

[elmoelmslie2]

I think nearly anyone could sing this song and it would sound great, such is the quality of the lyrics.

[nathanlfcfree]

i think the enemys cover is best

[mattharrowby]

Sounds alot like ikeand tin (guitar i mean). great cover either way.

[lol732]

Excellent!! Billy Bragg or Jamie T or ( dear) KIRSTY MACCOLL ( RIP) A great song!!!

[sptfgpn]

It would be nice if he got together with Kate Nash.

[owenofglasgow2]

Sweet.... GREAT version Jamie

[iloveken222]

this cover is actually fairly similar to billy's ogirinal in that it's pretty simple musically, and he's singing totally in his own voice. i actually quite like it (:

[Vvalerie123]

Like him, but this version is shit!

[jodb5595]

love it :D

[Nadendegior]

Love this version! Makes it his own!

[planetjanine]

I can relate to this song so much. I love the emotion in his voice when he sings. :D I can't wait to see him when he comes to Toronto although I don't know when that will be. :(

[TudesofAlex]

@planetjanine I hope he comes to Toronto too! Soon!

[garlicferret]

oh dear, he killed it :|

[plw1993]

im just stating my opinion! billy bragg is much better! jamie t just... fucks this up!

[dagen40]

its you that are fucked up :)

[gingenroses]

yeah i agree :)

[hassana91]

This is amazing. I love how Jamie varies his songs depending on his mood/current musical tastes and he isn't afraid to show it by putting the different styles on albums/EPs instead of just keeping them away in a chest somewhere incase they're not "accepted" maybe not so much this one most of his B side stuff haha.

[milkybarkido]

i think this is balls.

[xkkanex]

jamie t is a fucking legend in my eyes

[richw15]

@xkkanex to rite this guy is pure quality

[skitzey]

lol at the spelling of serious in this

[wrighta04]

there is a song that has a very similar bassline to the start of this song, and i cannot for the life of me remember what its called...can any one help me???

[JakeBall1991]

@wrighta04 Stiff little fingers?

[ysfaljanabi]

@wrighta04

yea ur thinking about that rogriguez gonzales song or something like that. YSF

[nils2001]

@wrighta04

jose gonzales-heartbeats

[thelukefaller]

shockingly

awsome !!!!

[AABINVESTIGATIONS]

Shockingly bad!!!

[AABINVESTIGATIONS]

all those who voted down, are you seriously saying you think this is good??

go listen to Billy Braggs views on this!!! (the man who wrote the tune)

[thelukefaller]

no one is saying he is a awsome singer thts is the whole point of this music

its for peaple tht hate tht corpral bull shit like justin beiber

[AABINVESTIGATIONS]

but jamie t is corporate thats the whole point!!! you think he's not but he is!

[MisterPeeeee]

he hasnt a good voice... maybe its just his accent which made him popular

[mac030375]

@e19 original by billy bragg same tempo, or try the kirsty maccoll version

[Eetjuh19]

Hmm, not one of the best versions of this song i think. Although i love Jamie T !

It's just too fast and too quiet in my opinion..

[alexandrad1992]

ide like to see you do better you trollop AMAZEIN SONG <3

[plw1993]

this disgusts me that he'd even consider covering this song. and he does it badly. 1 star.

[rishy561]

@plw1993 it disgusts me that you could be such an ignoramus.

[Loveborough]

@plw1993 cunt

[lyonsboi]

CUNT!!!

[dwbdwb1993]

I have this on vinyl,, the B-side to If you got the money,,, great track =]

[joesufc]

the king blues and the enemy covers are better. this is too quiet.

[blades92]

@joesufc The king blues version is incredible! :)

And i hope SUFC stands for them ighty Sheffield united! ;)

[joesufc]

no, Southend United!

[funkinaroundtheblock]

fucking wicked

[aidanzzz]

omg this song is so bloody good . i like it more than billy bragg

[aidanzzz]

think this is insane

[IAINoodle]

sorry to inform you, there's no such place as 'englang'

X D

i do love this version

[aidanzzz]

yes there is . i know what you mean thow its a bar in my village called englang. wierd ant it

[theblackrose1510]

Let's get this sorted. The original version of this song is by Kirsty McColl and written by Billy Bragg. She died he brought it out and added an extra verse. There's been a few covers this is one of the worst as much as i love Jamie T. he shouldn't have bothered.

[JimBram]

ahem........ Billy Bragg wrote & released this on his 1983 album, Life's a riot with spy vs spy, Kirsty McColl wanted to cover it but thought it too short so Bragg wrote 2 more verses that McColl merged into 1. Her version was released in 1984. Since her tragic death when Bragg plays it live he sings the extra verse.

[eddiebriggs]

robfather your a knob, he didn't write this song at all. Read below

[robfarther]

Listen you people that doubt this tune are just narrow minded ! tbh you must just liten too the chart show shit case !!!! this music is better than anything you could write !!! he doesnt pay Jay Z or fukin micheal jakson too write another party tune he writes good REAL music !!

[bryanicmafia]

no pays michael jackson for anything anymore

[sudin79]

how the fuck did this get 4.5 its an amazing tune.

[cliftonperkins]

not very good at all; sounds like juan guy in his bedroom learning to play guitar

[el4c1]

actually saskofreak get your facts right. billy brag wrote this for kirsty mccoll to sing and when she died he bought his own version out.

[keiraemily95]

his voice is just amazin'

♥

[saskofreak]

the orignal is by kirsty mccoll.

billy covered it after.

[bryanicmafia]

the original was billy bragg actually.

best version was by the king blues tho.

[AlexBlondie92]

you've got it the wrong way round mate

[mesmiths]

really annoying cover of a good song

[eckigesapfel]

his voice :) <3

[TheEnemyJack]

who said this was better than the enemys cover is mad!

[TomAins08]

Jamie t made This Song Good

[0BOYCE0]

Thannkkyoouuuu

i love the original but i hate bill braggs voice :(

i cant help it

but now jamie t has made a coverrrrrr

:D:D::D:D

[tojsemjahonzik]

I want Jamie in Czech Republic... NOW!

[CabbagePatchFace]

This is a good cover but Billy Braggs is still the best!

[ohf10]

[joehiggins229]

Legend

[MrDman182]

this is such a good cover! How does this not suit him?! Definitely does!

[weeloux5678]

Omg Love this song, i actually dont understand how people can't like at least one of his songs...jamie t's freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!

Really want to go see him in glasgow :O

[ovanillafaceo]

whoever sed jamie t is talentless must like the wombats or sumthin . Jamie t is a god he covered this great

[Leahrixxy]

I love Jamie T but i don't think this song suits him. Sorry, i still love you Jamie T! xD

[Teessider1990]

I love Jamie T, but this is not a good cover.

[olgasy]

jamie is class. nomather what he does

[BrettEa2k7]

Mate, He Is Class, He Aint Talentless at all, he wrote his own songs,maybe he just likes this one, as he ay realesed it, and its a demo. DIPSHIT!

[RaiyuXI]

Fuck you, you dwarf.

[TraceKais3r]

I'm an absolutely huge Billy Bragg fan. He's my hero, seriously.

I also love Jamie T. And holy fuck, this is amazing. Most certainly did the song justice, and possibly even bettered the original...

Anyone know what this song was released on? Or is it just a demo? And if you could point me in the right direction to get this, I'd be very happy :)

[iaser1]

Billy bragg's and kirsty's version is much better

kinda ruined the song if you asked me!

[Szaam]

lovely

[Sellout234]

im fucking loving this song as its on acoustic bass wish there was sum sort of tabs or chords or nyfin 4 his cover

[thebadweekend]

[masterjamie93]

lol sauldcross. YOUR A FUCKING QUEER

[nukeim2000]

billy dint write it i dont think , i always thought it was an old folk song. like House of the rising son , most people think that the animals wrote it but infact its an old song and no 1 realy knows who wrote it. but i did think billy wrote this but i rnt 100% good tune no matter ...

[sauldcross]

Hi Nuke,

I am a freelance writer who works mainly on music. This is probably my favourite song of all time (for no technical reasons, I just relate to the lyrics). I researched it for an article this week and in actual fact he wrote.

Its about how he would bail on his ideals to get a girlfriend he loved.

[cliftonperkins]

unintelligible gibberish

[brenbren211]

Billy Bragg is not "uninteligible gibberish", perhaps one of the most underated writers/preformers of Britain.

[tuddydunning]

@brenbren211 well said sir

[unsigned69]

Of course "a new england" was bragg's!!!

It was covered by MacColl written by Bragg!

[curlywurlyx]

..............................­...
