James Blake Godspeed

Blake listened and now the fans are getting exactly what they asked for. “Godspeed” has arrived in its entirety on all streaming services, retaining the stripped-down feel of the original Instagram post. The production is almost non-existent, with piano chords ringing out sporadically that underscore Blake’s emotive voice.

The single is Blake’s third one-off solo release of the year, following “Are You Even Real?” and April’s “You’re Too Precious.” He has kept busy during lockdown, covering everything from Nirvana’s “Come As You Are” to Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over.” He hasn’t slowed his output in hip hop either, contributing production to Jay Electronica’s A Written Testimony and last month’s Flatbush Zombies single “Afterlife.” With new music steadily arriving and a collaborative album with Flatbush Zombies in the works, could it be that he’s gearing up for something big?

Lyrics

[Verse]
I will always love you
How I do
I let go of a prayer for you
Just a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won’t move
Still I’ll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It’s a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
Still you’ll have this place to call home always
Glory, glory
Glory, glory

[Outro]
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
