really don’t want them to go to waste but we can’t go anymore

dm if interested :)

I can't be the only one hearing it?...

What is he actually saying? Like right after "before our love" at the beginning of the song I'm hearing what sounds like an n bomb followed by "you." This n bomb repeats throughout the song.

Just wanted to share some appreciation for “Trying Time.”

I always thought it was a great song, but recently it has really hit me in a different way. My mom has been off dialysis for two weeks. She’s 81, and at this point we’re just trying to keep her comfortable.

I’ve always used music to connect to something when I need it. When my dad died, it was Sigur Rós. This time I tried Carrie & Lowell, but for whatever reason it wasn’t reaching me. Then “Trying Time” started calling to me. I put it on last night while driving home after sitting with my mom, and it finally touched the part of me I needed music to reach.

I’m a 42-year-old husband and father, and when you’re trying to be part of everyone else’s support system, it can be hard to let the walls come down. This song is helping me access that place so I can actually grieve and heal.

I know it’s a song about a romantic relationship, but there’s something about the haunting doo-wop sample, James’ voice, and the way the song just sits inside sadness without trying to fix it. It understands the moment.

This is probably a random post, and maybe it gets removed, but I just wanted to say thank you for a song that has been there for me when I really needed it.

I have never listened to James blake in the past but I just listened to Trying Times and loved it so much. I love his voice and production on it. What should I listen to next from him?

I'm seeing James Blake live for the first time for his upcoming tour. What kind of stuff does he typically play? Does he play music from his own albums, or his features? I prefer his own albums to most of the features tbh.

At face value, hopefully <3

my friend can't make it, so i'm selling for face value $71! can use paypal goods and services

Hi everyone! I'm looking for one ticket. I wanna make a surprise for my husband on his birthday, cause James is his favourite singer. And I didn't know about tour earlier🥲

Please, help

Planning on catching this show since it’ll be my birthday. This will also be my first solo trip/concert after a divorce and James Blake has gotten me through literally every stage of this divorce the last 3 years!

Hoping it’s a great show!
