Sou completamente suspeito para falar das músicas desta banda, pois sou fã há uns 20 anos.
(tive a sorte de ver um show deles ao vivo em SP, o que risquei dos meus desejos antes de morrer)
O que sempre adorei no JAMES foi a facilidade em escrever letras poéticas sem precisar apelar para construções complicadas. A pessoa mais simples, a pessoa mais sofisticada, pode ouvir a música, ler a letra e se identificar.

Por isto, amor tanto a música deles NOTHING BUT LOVE e seu clipe tão delicado e poético:
NOTHING BUT LOVE
Nothing but love gives the world some meaning
Nothing but love is the drug of Healing
Lover be soft, lover be bold
Earthquake, avalanche, volcano
Nothing but love is the drug of Healing
Lover be soft, lover be bold
Earthquake, avalanche, volcano
Nothing but love
I've got nothing but love
I've got nothing but love
Nothing but love stops the mind from grinding
Nothing but love flushes hearts from hiding
Deeper we dive, nowhere to hide
Earthquake, avalanche and goodbye
Nothing but love flushes hearts from hiding
Deeper we dive, nowhere to hide
Earthquake, avalanche and goodbye
Nothing but love fills the hole I'm hiding
Nothing but love from the well we're drinking
Into the highs deal with the lows
Earthquake avalanche volcano
Nothing but love from the well we're drinking
Into the highs deal with the lows
Earthquake avalanche volcano
For all, there's no answers only dancers
For all, love me now, I'll pay the cost
For all, love me now, I'll pay the cost
Nothing but love
I've got nothing but love
Nothing but, nothing but love
I've got nothing but love
I've got nothing but love
Nothing but, nothing but love
Nothing but love!
I've got nothing but love
Nothing but, nothing but love
I've got nothing but love
I've got nothing but love
Nothing but, nothing but love
Nothing but love!
É bom lembrar que, em 1993, quando os rótulos heteronormativos eram ainda mais fortes, a banda já jogava todos eles para o alto, como mostra no clipe da música LAID (que talvez seja a única música conhecida por não fãs, visto que era da trilha do filme American Pie, e de vários outros que se seguiram):
LAID
This bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
The therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah you think you're so pretty
Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in women's clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Line my eyes and call me pretty
Moved out of the house so you moved next door
I locked you out you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me I thought I was alone
You're driving me crazy when are you coming home
Laid
Laid
