Biography

James is an indie / alternative rock group from the UK. [b]Please do not use this profile for any other artists named James.[/b] James was formed in Manchester in 1982 by founding members [a=Jim Glennie], [a=Tim Booth], [a=Larry Gott], and [a=Gavan Whelan]. The group was signed one year later to [a=Anthony H. Wilson]'s infamous [l=Factory] record label, but only a few years later were snapped up by the major label [l=Sire Records Company]. James' early 1980s folk / indie sound would garner them impressive underground status before they would become big chart toppers from the mid-to-late 1980s. 1989 single [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/710067-James-Sit-Down]"Sit Down"[/url], issued by the seminal indie record label [l=Rough Trade], reached #2 in the UK singles charts and, in 1991, was followed by the #2 album [url=https://www.discogs.com/master/3646-James-Seven]"Seven"[/url]. The group continued to find success with the 1993 album "Laid", its simultaneously-recorded nocturnal sister, 1994's "Wah Wah", and 1997's "Whiplash" (released in 1997 just after the UK's mid-90s Britpop explosion.) The band released two additional albums before initially splitting up in 2001. James reunited in 2007 and remains active as of 2024.

LYRICS

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain Aerial held high, calling "come on thunder, come on thunder" Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon sign And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him on Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul Sometimes, when I look deep in your eyes, I swear I can see your soul There's four new colors in the rainbow An old man's taking polaroids But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his And I swear I can hear the sea Somtimes, when I look in your eyes I can see your soul (I can reach your soul) (I can touch your soul) Sometimes
