Blake, James - My Willing Heart Lyrics






The first time your name was used
It was beauty and I knew
Sat in a violet room with some people I saw through
Gathered 'round the television's fire
Watching for the people I admired
Outside my world, we're frozen in the mouth
I couldn't let them out

When I see my willing heart
How will I know?
How will I walk slow?
How will I know?
How will I walk slow?

It's a strange spell that we lust for
Every now and then
Every now and then
Every now and then
Every now and then

When I see my willing heart
How will I know?
How will I walk slow?

It's a strange spell that we watch for
And one I swear I never saw
Every now and then
Every now and then
Every now and then

You're still on my screen
Every now and then
You're still on my screen
Every now and then
There's a glare from the sun looking safe on you
Every now and then

When I see my willing heart
How will I know?
How will I walk slow?
How will I know?
How will I walk slow?

It's a strange spell that we watch for
Every now and then
You're still on my screen
Every now and then
They must have heard my scream
Every now and then
There's a glare from the sun looking safe on you
Every now and then

When I see my willing heart
How will I know?
How will I walk slow?

    N.... J....

    😂😂😂 made my day

    N.... J....

    OMG SAME FEELING

  66. L.... D....

    Slap my arm to bring up the vein and push play. I am completely addicted to this artist. The first few times its lovely, intriguing , layered, then the feelings and emotions start to rise and mix and it is the most fascinating musical trip I have ever taken. So slap the vein and push play again.

  67. t.... ....

    I'm in love with the artwork for this album

  68. c.... ....

    Love this willing heart. So talented James Blake is.

  69. D.... M....

    I just found this video 2 hours ago. I keep repeating this song until now. Blake has the best voice I have ever heard.

  70. a.... ....

    This song is pure sex

  71. R.... ....

    niceeeeee

  72. C.... B....

    I love it. Whoever sings in the beginning has the female version of his voice✨🔥

  73. R.... H....

    JB, the master. Way to complement Beyonce and Drake, blake. this guy is goin places

  74. T.... R....

    Anyone else find the 'its a strange spell that we lust for' line hugely familiar?

  75. m.... w....

    Dude, tired of hearing about beyonce's boring ass album - radiohead and james blake just surprise dropped some shit.

  76. J.... T....

    one of the best on the record

  77. O.... P....

    Every now and then

  78. 1.... ....

    isnt frank ocean singing on this too? or is james that sounds like him??

    1.... ....

    +figaro figaro frank co-wrote, but he isn't singing. This is James

  79. A.... T....

    How how how is this song so ridiculously gorgeous.

  80. T.... P....

    Love the album, this has to be the pick of the bunch!

  81. N.... S....

    I can't believe how many times I've listened to this song in a day

  82. C.... S....

    so beautiful, so melodic. my soul feels so happy listening to this.

  83. M.... ....

    James Blake and Frank Ocean is a match made in heaven

    M.... ....

    F.... R....

    Don't it just tho?

    F.... R....

    Thank you

  85. C.... M....

    kanye would have been epic on the track Timeless

    C.... M....

    +Chris Miller Such a good shout!

  86. C.... M....

    frank ocean wrote this

    C.... M....

    +Chris Miller no he didn't. Frank co-wrote 'Always'

    C.... M....

    +Quentin McBullwinkle nah he co wrote 2 tracks

    C.... M....

    why's he not credited on MWH?

    C.... M....

    +Quentin McBullwinkle he co wrote the song...google it or Twitter search it. Theopholis London: Frank Ocean's writing capability on "my willing heart" and "always" is the most beautiful thing ived heard in years. <3

  87. b.... ....

    england is god's land....radiohead and James Blake

  88. [.... ....

  94. T.... ....

    this one is written with the help of Frank Ocean! I hope he releases a new album before I die

    T.... ....

    tomorrow

    T.... ....

    Seeing this after Blonde and Endless came out is funny to read

  95. A.... G....

    Surreal, everynow and then, sweet and breathtaking... like looking at a person you truly love but you are too old to fall so deeply

  96. Z.... J....

    masterpiece is the only word that describe he's whole album in a world full of trash music james blake can bring back the colour in anything
