Throughout the history of pop, certain performers have
attained the status of "enigma", attracting respect and
fascination in equal measure; Robert Johnson, Nick Drake,
The Residents, Phil Spector, these are the sphinxes of pop,
men and women shrouded in mystery and the unmistakable
scent of greatness. Moreover, the ultimate accolade rock
can bestow is that certain individuals can be known the
world over by a single name; Elvis, Madonna, Prince, Lulu,
Sonia, names that will live forever in the pantheon of
music.
Such an individual is James. For two decades, this elusive,
charismatic, engaging individual has been one of the great
treasures of British music, sometimes taking centre stage,
sometimes on the margins, now a bona fide star, now a cult
passion but alw More...

Those of who who want to know about James should read Folklore by Stuart Maconie- not this! It's highly innaccurate on many scores,for a start James are a band, not one person- the photo is something of a giveaway.
Individual???? | Reviewer: Racheycakes
------ About artist/band James
Whoever has written this really needs to brush up on their facts!!!! James is a BAND, definitely NOT an individual!!! The singer is called Tim Booth; not James, the other members of the line up as it now stands are Jim Glennie, Larry Gott, Saul Davies, David Baynton-Power and Mark Hunter and Andy Diagram- the truly Magnificent Seven. They are Britan's greatest band and if you haven't ever seen them live, you are missing an awesome sight.

I only heard this song a couple of times when it was first relesaed, but loved it. Could not find the name until years later and immediately got it. There is an acoustic version of it also that is just as good.
Yes, A Weird Song, But No, Not A Happy Song At All | Reviewer: another_songwriter
------ About the song Laid performed by James
The narrator is addicted and obsessed with a dominating (she only comes when she's on top), combative (fights me with knives and skewers)and narcissic (you think you're so pretty) woman who humiliates him (dresses me up in women's clothes), tricks him (he believes she is sleeping next to him), steals from him (caught your hand inside the till),confuses him (when are you coming home), and robs him of his identity (I'm becoming bore) but he keeps coming back (my therapist says not to see you no more), even though it's unhealthy (you're like a disease)because the sex is so good (this bed is on fire).
A faily well crafted song.

the song they played at the end of the night at a shore bar I went to constantly in the mid-90s (when I was in my 20s) and it brings back those memories immediately whenever I hear it. Hard not to love this song.
I'VE FINALLY FOUND IT!!! 8D | Reviewer: Zadra
------ About the song Laid performed by James
☆☆☆☆☆ I was sitting on the toilet one night when all of a sudden this song pops in my head. I didn't know the words, or where I'd heard it, just the melody♪... I spent ALL night one night, trying to find it online, with absolutely no luck. I asked EVERYONE if they recognized it, but... Still no luck. ALL I had was the tune♪♪♪. MONTHS had gone by, when all of a sudden(could've been a BIT more suddenedener), I'm sitting in my friend's truck while she's inside the 7-11, and I'm totally depressed due to a "break-up", flipping through the radio stations and "BAM!" There it was... I was begining to think that, maybe I had made up the song♪ in my head... "No way!" I remembered it. I don't remember WHAT/WHERE I remembered it from, but I remembered it... And it couldn't have been ♪revealed♪ to me at a better time.ϋ Now I can stop searching/asking/wondering... "Thank You!" - whoever/whatever/however this works... BYE!!! 8) ☆☆☆☆☆

For the longest time I tried to find this song so I could download it. Never knew it was called "Laid"! All thi stime it was called something like "This bed is on fire". I can die a happy man now.
Right-foot waking up! | Reviewer: Chuck
------ About the song Laid performed by James
Just woke up today singing the song! It's such a happy (yet weird) tune, doesn't get boring! Ever! I remembre loving James in the mid 90s, but somehow they disappeared...
i really can't say if i feel joy or sorrow,fear or courage, hope or fatal truth...it's taking me high above and leave me to fall in chaos,it's causing shivers down my spine and happiness the same time,my soul is crying and i'm very happy because i feel my soul.Thank you, James.

WOW....Heard it again on Clevelands 92.3 | Reviewer: Heard it again for the first time
------ About the song Laid performed by James
Unbelieveable....I heard this song several time in the late 90's while living in Austin, Tx, though i never knew the title or group.
After hearing on 92.3 this morning, the first thing I had to do this evening was find out who it was that sang it...
Yeah its funny, i've heard it in a couple movies over the years...don't recall seeing it in the credits though.
Love it, great tune!
biography needs to be re-written! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About artist/band James
Whoever wrote this biography is mistaken in thinking "james" is a person! They are a band, lead singer Tim Booth, and have resurfaced this year (2007) after 6 years in hiding. They are absolute musical geniuses, and their songs provide a moving description of humanity. Also, their web address is no longer jamestheband.com, it is now www.wearejames.com.
