JAMES BAY - Hold Back The River

This song is from the EP Hold Back the River(2014), released on 17 November 2014.
What I liked about this song is the simplicity and the power in the performance. The guitars felt great and the rhythm had a great groove going on. The background vocals and the harmonies added a nice effect to the song and made it really interesting. The lyrics felt very unique and peculiar as well.
