Wesley Joseph traveled to Walsall town to shoot the music video for his new single “July” featuring soulful songstress Jorja Smith.
"This video wouldn’t exist, literally or figuratively, if it wasn’t for where I’m from, Walsall town. This one's for the dreamers, still looking out the window. From the bottom of my heart I wanna say thank you to everyone who poured themselves into this to make it real. My family, friends and the community that raised me, we made something that stays when time passes. JULY." - Wesley Joseph

Hope you proud, just knowing I tried.
Up 10,000 miles sun in my eyes
It don’t feel blameless the way we damaged by the time,
Yet I get older with every July
Seasons change despite what I’d like
(Like)
Wake up nigga wake up,
Can’t believe we paid,
Back a day that felt vacant
Uh
I’d never change,
any day in your presence
Uh
And it's ok,
Despite the pain
Got my face up
It's gonna be a while
(Be a while)
Knowing the good times,
Immortalised in your smile
(Just take your time)
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
There you go,
With those feelings only I could help describe,
Know you’ll never leave the corner of mind
In the corner of my eye
There was a tear,
But you left before it dried.
Remember when,
There was promises you kept,
But we never did,
All the words, you left unsaid
Ain’t so innocent
We just passing by
In the next life,
Make sure to take your time
No no.
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
It's been a long time since you let me go
