James won Ireland's answer to the Mercury (the Choice Music Prize for 'Song of the Year') and saw his debut EP ('Say Hello') remain on the Irish chart for over 6 months. This rise and development in his home market has gained James sell-out headline dates and wider support tours with the likes of Lianne La Havas, Beth Orton, Kodaline and Marina & The Diamonds.
A snapshot of this ascent, 'Live at Whelans' is a selection of new and old songs performed in the stripped-back environment of a rapturously-received hometown show. The first track to be lifted from it, 'Nervous', is a pin-drop account of a one-sided relationship: from that initial fear of your first meeting to the gradual realisation, by the end of the song, that perhaps they were never who you thought they were (and it's best to forget about them).
James released his eagerly-anticipated debut album, ‘Bitter Pill’ on March 11th 2016 – having already gone Top 5, been certified Platinum and winner of Choice Music Prize’s ‘Song of the Year’ in his native Ireland in 2013 and 2016. Following a sold-out London show at KOKO, support across Spotify (Spotlight Artists for 2016), Radio 1, Virgin Radio, Beats 1 and Radio X, Gavin had an extensive UK tour, European tour, US tour and Australian dates, that featured Shepherd’s Bush Empire on October 7th 2016 in London and 3Arena on December 2016 in Dublin. Gavin has over 150 million total streams on Spotify already and live performances on Late Late Show with James Corden, Jimmy Kimmel Live, BBC One Show and C’est A Vous.

Gavin James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Cold hands, red eyes
Packed your bags at midnight
They've been there for weeks
Just roll up a cigarette
Just forget about this mess
Waiting on the sidelines
From the sidelines
I see those tears in your eyes
And I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
If your ghost pulls you up high
And it feels like you've lost who you are
My love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
And you whisper, I'm alright
But I see through your white lies
But these walls don't talk
And if they could, they'd say
Can't hide the secrets
You can't forget about this mess
I'm waiting on the sidelines
From the sidelines
I see those tears in your eyes
And I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
If your ghost pulls you up high
And it feels like you've lost who you are
My love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
I see those tears in your eyes
So helpless inside
There's no need to hide
Let me love you when your heart is tired
The lyrics of Gavin James Alan Walker's song "Tired" speak of a person who is going through a difficult time and is weighed down by their problems. The singer of the song is trying to comfort and support the person, telling them that they don't have to hide their feelings and that they can rely on their love when they feel tired. The specific lines of the song talk about the tears in the person's eyes, their cold hands, and red eyes that suggest they have been crying or have not had enough sleep. The person has packed their bags at midnight, an indication that they are leaving something or someone behind. The singer tells the person that they can forget about their problems, and the singer will be there to support them from the sidelines.
The song's message is one of comfort and support for those who are going through a difficult time. The song tells people to be vulnerable and not hide their problems from those who love them. The song also speaks to the idea of waiting on the sidelines, being there for someone even when they are not in the forefront of their life at that moment. It is a message of reassurance that no matter what happens, someone is always going to be there to support and guide them.

This song hits harder when you know it's meaning,not just talking abt the lyrics, thr lyrics are obvious and they're also so touching but am talking about the vid clip it's part of thr movie and for anyone who wants to know the meaning of it:
Many years after the forming of the Walkers, a solar flare is approaching fast. Groups of Walkers around the world make devices that would scan bits of ruins, and, once united, construct them into a utopia for the survivors of the flare. They also build shield-like objects that, once enough things were scanned, would guide the walkers together. They bury these underground, where they'll be safe, and all sit together as the flare hits and they presumably die
Ya i cried ao hard while reading this also if anyone wants the full story of all his songs
1. Heading Home: The girl remembered her past she was part of the walkers but she's still searching for info about the past of the walkers and she picture them in mind based on the writings and drawings and picture in mind but she was remembering, including herself and the walker tribe members first thing she thought she was at the top of a tree and she was holding a telescope and saw raining meteors far away but she has time to tell the others so she jumped off the tree and run she followed the drones and found a tribe called walkers and saw other tribe members she was finding a walker mentor and she saw teaching people about the drones and training them, then she told the mentor the the training dismissed because of the meteor next she thought about from the book burying a case or time capsule that has walker equipments for someone and message for the future who excavate it for the walker survivor or some people and join the tribe they had fun in the night for their last day and using a red clothes in the very early morning (like 4 to 6 am) the mentor giving two walker drones before the meteor dropped after that they jumped into a hole to be safe including herself but she fully remembered the past and that she was part of the walkers and she was the only walker remembered that she was a walker, then the meteor dropped and destroyed the land, and the tribe members ended up dying
2. On My Way: A girl who has discovered her past life, she was joined the Walkers that she was finding something in the museum and saw a theory of the walkers and remembered something from the past and started asking people about how to find the 8 rock shape like in the Walker logo, The girl found out what is the shape of the 8 rocks from the books and paintings and she told everyone in her class but no one believed her, And she tried it with a glass in the rocks with laser and the girl told the Police,Construction workers and News reporter, The workers to cultivate the 8 rocks and they found first the small then the big Walker logo, Also the girl got famous from her discovery
3. Alone Pt.II: The girl who remembered the walkers got interviewed by reporters then keep she keep searching about the Walkers after that she got an answer she remembered something from her past life she took a painting of an Walker from a museum and spill special liquid and found a map in it she pictured it and go to the place that the map she remembered the country then she started to ask people in the country and one guy knows then they go to a cave and found a circle mossy logo similar to All Falls Down and Diamond Heart
4. Alone: A call is put out, and other Walkers from all over the internet join together in different groups around the world.
5.Sing Me to Sleep: Some person or entity guides a group of people together. They form a group called the Walkers. They all carry some object in their backpack, that when united, projects some pattern on to the ceiling. It's possibly a scanner, as the projection looks similar to those in "Darkside".
6. Tired: Many years after the forming of the Walkers, a solar flare is approaching fast. Groups of Walkers around the world make devices that would scan bits of ruins, and, once united, construct them into a utopia for the survivors of the flare. They also build shield-like objects that, once enough things were scanned, would guide the walkers together. They bury these underground, where they'll be safe, and all sit together as the flare hits and they presumably die.
7. Faded: One of the Walkers who survived is trying to cope with the new world after the flare. He's completely alone and trying to find a place that isn't in ruins because of the flare, guided by a picture he carries of a lovely rural house. He travels a long way, hoping this house will be his salvation, but when he gets there, it's destroyed like everything else.
8. All Falls down: An unknown amount of time later, a group of teenagers, who presumably grew up in this post-apoplectic world, dig up one of the safes with the scanners, but don't know what to do with them. In the night, a group of older people, presumably some of the Walkers who buried the scanners in the first place, come and set something up that shows them how to use them.
9. Darkside: The group of older Walkers is scanning a monument of some sort, and the teenagers observe them doing it from afar. They are inspired, and after fiddling with the scanners a bit, go and scan another monument. Finally the Walkers officially meet on a mountaintop.
10. Diamond Heart: Different groups of Walkers discover these scanners and, soon, the shields start showing glimpses of what other scanners are scanning. The scanners proceed to guide the walkers together once again, and they finally build their utopia

Alan Walker - Tired Lyrics
[Intro]
I see those tears in your eyes
I feel so helpless inside
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
[Verse 1]
Cold hands, red eyes
Packed your bags at midnight
They've been there for weeks
I don't what came by me
[Pre-Chorus]
Just roll up a cigarette
Just forget about this mess
Been waiting on the sidelines
From the sidelines

Just let me love you when your heart is tired
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
[Verse 2]
When you whisper, I'm alright
But I see through your white lies
But these walls don’t talk
And if they could, they’d say
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't hide the secrets
You can't forget about this mess
I'm waiting on the sidelines
From the sidelines
[Chorus]
I see those tears in your eyes
And I feel so helpless inside

From the sidelines
[Chorus]
I see those tears in your eyes
