I have half this album on a playlist for writing morally dubious characters, and I love it so much.
Mission accomplished ;) glad you love it 🖤🖤
@@ShayferJames amazing song me and my friends chill to this song full volume on this speaker
I thought I was the only person who used it for that
freaking SAME, BRO
that's literally what I'm listening to this song right now to do lol
Nice
Damn. This is far too underrated.
Thank you so so much.
Shayfer James
For sure! I'm a fan.
Ture
The last man standing in our sinister charade
Beneath the crumbling arches of our counterfeit arcade
He nobly knelt before us
He sang our savior's chorus
We left him spinning bloody plates
Upon his broken blade
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
And preaching pain to every unsuspecting passerby
We knew her well before this
She promised portraits of us
We cut her throat While she waiting for the paint to dry but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
And in the distance we'll here melancholy moans
The long forgotten have a habit for collecting loans but
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary some time
Thankyou for the lyrics
Thanks!
Shayfer earned my utmost respect this was made in 2011 and he still replying to comments nothin better than that and i just love how this song fits Joker or any misunderstood villain so good.
🤡🖤💀
I got this on a “songs that make you feel like a villain” video lol
I don’t want to argue but did u mean misunderstood villains and joker or joker as an example of a misunderstood villain
@@elfieselfie01 me too
@@elfieselfie01 Same
Shayfer James, this man needs to get noticed if he doesn't it would be an injustice to the world, cause this shit good.
Thank you!
That's what I've been saying!
That's just the weight of the world man
@@ethosislami7294 damnit I was gonna say that
2020 and I'm just seeing this .. NICE
Welcome to the party 🎉.
I'm seeing this in 2021.
I can't believe this song is not viral, it's so underrated. Just found out this song on Spotify and I just fell in love with your song, one of my favorites with Villainous Thing. I'm a fan
✨🖤☠️ thank you friend
Lol I found this song the same way, it’s just too good to not put on loop on CZcams
Same here
That’s just the weight of the world @cellidekaputri324
a genuine question is how have i not seen you be in a movie with a morally bankrupt villain that everyone secretly roots for, these songs you made for counterfeit arcade are such good pieces
Some day ;)
I play dungeons and dragons a lot, and while making a new character this song came on, it gave me so much inspiration and I was able really flesh out his personality, this song is amazing!
🖤🖤😊
Ooooh please do give details (fellow dnd nerd)
@@luxdeitine4882 I guess we're not getting our sweet sweet character details, huh?
@SyndicateRadiosOperator Indeed
So glad i’m not the only one who saw this song and was like “this would fit my dnd character AMAZINGLY” because i have it on a playlist for mine also.
And a second thanks!! Was a rather fun video to shoot I must say.
Holy shit. I was going through Spotify one day, found this song, and didn't realize I was discovering someone so talented and amazing. This is underrated, and you deserve those likes to increase tenfold at the very least.
Thank you new friend :) spread the word!
Your songs are all-around incredible. This one and 'Villainous Thing' are my favorites, and the lyrics and vocals are my favorite part (although it's hard to pick just one amazing piece of a song).
+Christianna Hursh Thank you so so much.
Discovered this song on Pandora; just bought it on Amazon. Good song
+Branson Gann me too, it got great soul and speaks to me at time.
The first time I heard this song I fell in love with it. Finally I found it. I always wanted to learn this song on piano. It will be my first piano song with lyrics. So I can practice chords and singing.
Currently I'm learning piano by myself without even having one. I use the piano in our school. Looking forward to purchasing one.
Thanks for such a beautiful song!
Amazing! Piano is magic.
I've been listening to this song, and album in general for a while now, and woah, dude
It's genuinely just one of the best I've heard; cannot praise it enough
The Disney villain energy it emanates is so strong it the best way possible; I can't get enough of it
Thank you my friend :)
I dont care if its an old song, it makes me feel so good and i love it
This makes me very happy.
Shayfer James is one of the most underrated creative geniuses in the entire world. 🌍
This means so, so much. Thank you my friend 🙏🙏
The theme of that one villain everyone loves.
🖤💀🖤
Well thank you
I still can't get over how underrated your music is, your songs are some of my all time favorites
🙏🙏 thank you my friend…more folks seem to be discovering me these days
Your up there with Freddie Mercury in terms of musical talent in my book. : )
Now THAT is a compliment. Made my morning, thank you
Controversial, but I like his style more.
His songs are amazing and he's too much of an underrated singer. He should be more popular to be honest, his songs are amazing.
10/10 recommend listening to this while getting dressed in the morning. Makes you feel invincible AND hot before your day even starts!
This is quite the compliment 🖤🖤
Shayfer, I am incredibly impressed by your work; I have always been extremely fond of all your songs once I discovered them, Your music is rather underrated.
Thank you!
@@ShayferJames You are quite welcome! This made my Year.
the album is called " counterfit arcade " and the SECOND line is " beneath the crumbling arches of our counterfit arcade "
Both are facts.
11 years and it's still one of my favorite
🙏🙏🙏
CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THAT SHAYFER JAMES IS STILL HEARTING COMMENTS AND REPLYING EVEN AFTER 9 YEARS????
🤗
I found this 9 years too late.
I’d say you’re right on time :)
Accidentally played the chord progression for this and remembered what a banger this song is...
Happy accident
I looked up The Raconteur because I was curious where you filmed this and found an article about how it closed and that's so sad :(
I'm so glad you immortalized it in this video.
Indeed it was a magical place! The owner recently started up a mobile bookstore called the rac-on-tour! ✨✨
I love so much these type of song, it's the first time I hear an artist sound like this and I like the kind of vibe it give off.
It feel like the villain telling his story in a bar telling the hero to come join him.
It's perfect-
You. Are perfect, we’re all the villain in our own story ;) welcome to mine 🖤💀
I just started listening to this song and I love it. 10 years old and it holds up so well.
Wait till ya hear the one I’m working on. ;)
@@ShayferJames I'm excited can't wait to listen
This song deserves so much more recognition
Thank you friend 🖤🖤
dude i just found this song through a character playlist someone made and im so surprised i havent heard it sooner! it is so good and the singers voice is ON POINT, hope youre doing well!
Thank you friend! Be sure to catch the US tour in April!!
God, do I love this album. One of my favorites
It loves you back
This is genuinely one of my favourite songs. Can't believe it isn't famous. It is ABSOLUTELY spectacular!
Why thank you friend :)
Ive just listened to your songs yesterday, and I must say, I fell In love with your music, your the first person I've loved every single song from, you are the same as The Beatles to me my friend ♥️
That. Is an unparalleled compliment. Thank you new friend. Welcome to my world.
@@ShayferJames You deserve much more! Your songs are unknown modern art! How passionate you are about your music is what makes you stick out from the others. I hope everyone can see your music and I wish you the best of luck! ♥️
my favorite thing about this artist's music is his lyrics... they're just so eloquent and hold so much depth. his word choice is just downright incredible. that paired with the instrumentals makes for not only great songs, but a great storytelling device
Words are my very favorite part of songwriting, so I appreciate your attention to detail 🖤❤️☠️
this song is absolutely incredible, goes on many a d&d playlist for villains
👹⚔️🖤 so glad!!
[Verse 1]
The last man standing in our sinister charade
Beneath the crumbling arches of our counterfeit arcade
He nobly knelt before us, he sang our savior's chorus
We left him spinning bloody plates upon his broken blade, but
[Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
And we'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
[Verse 2]
One woman whistling a wounded lullaby
And preaching pain to every unsuspecting passerby
We knew her well before this, she promised portraits of us
We cut her throat while she was waiting for the paint to dry, but
[Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
[Bridge]
And in the distance we’ll hear melancholy moans
The long forgotten have a habit for collecting loans
But
[Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to get by
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
We do what we must to stay alive
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
[Modified Chorus]
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
The weak and the weary will never survive
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
That's just the weight of the world
We'll all be the weak and the weary sometime
💯

What a treat.
Welcome
To my world :)
@@ShayferJames happy to be here.
@@ShayferJames can definitely appreciate that this song was sung in a building called "The Raconteur" as well, very apt.
It's rare that I come across albums where all the songs are bops, gratz my guy
Thank you frand 🖤💀
Here i am again and oh my
This song is easily one of the best musics i already heard in my life
Thank you friend 🖤🖤
Just got introduced to this by my friend and it’s so good????? It reminds me of my own writing when it comes to my villains
(Manipulative girlfriends,
narcissistic scientists,
suicidal gameshow hosts,)
thank you so much for making this and it is going to live in my head for a year
So glad you found it!
Hey man if you see this you’ve got one hell of a voice and a style of music I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else play. Best of luck to you in your future work👍
Thank you my friend!! More soon!!
I just can’t stop coming back to this song! Truly an amazing job!
🙏🙏
if they listen to stuff like this, it actually is better to be a villain
Damn right ;)
I accidentally found one of your songs on soundcloud a few months back and I've been obsessed ever since. Your music is so damn underrated, it's crazy.
thank you my friend! new EP very very soon!
My favorite song rn, singing it at the top of my lungs
✨🎤
Ya know, I’m happy that more people are finding out about your work and are giving you the love you deserve, my man. Keep up the fantastic work
It’s been so long and he still hasn’t gotten the relevancy he deserves😢❤
🙏🖤✨
This song is a true masterpiece to show the other side of the coin. A show of mentality from the Villain, rare and what I seek to listen to daily. I hope you as well as your band keep bringing these songs. Not to mention the great vocals and message, it is incredible.
Thank youuuu. I’ve always been fascinated with this perspective. Glad it lands 🖤🥰
Discovered this gem the other day, and boy is it great! Glad Spotify put For The Departed in my discover weekly!
Welcome to my world! Thanks for the kind comment 🖤
Listening to this while riding the bus in the morning is a great vibe
✨🚌✨
oh my GOD! 10 years okd masterpiece! Weight of The World is one of my most favorites! also..i did not expect the songs to be this old! i thought these were like,released Atleast 5 years ago. damn...keep on releasing masterpieces!!!
✨🖤✨
This music video is so amazing. It fits the song so well, and the colors. 😭. What an amazing song.
✨💀 thank you :)
I expected this to be so much more popular, there’s a certain feel this song has that a lot don’t that I’m absolutely obsessed with
This makes me happy ✨✨
All of these songs are on my offline playlist when I travel to and from college 👍
Just when I need it, the album brings back an album I remember from some time ago now… Love this song. Love the whole album, frankly. Thanks Mr. James.
Thank YOU
Phenomenal song, almost has a weirdly nostalgic and upbeat sound, so glad I came across this talented gentlemen’s music. A great song with an amazing sound my friend.
Thank you friend! 🖤
There couldn’t be a more relatable song. It leaves us all with the question, does anyone ever actually do anything that doesn’t benefit them somehow? Being nice feels good to YOU! Saving a life makes YOU a hero! Is it really capable for humans to be selfless? I digress. Somehow, you’ve described how the world works perfectly. You can’t worry about others, or else you’ll fall behind. You sir, are a genius.
You flatter me! Thank you my friend ✨🙏
How did I just find this!? This is so good _I'm addicted_
You’re right on time :) welcome to my world
just found this song on spotifiy while I was writing a story and damm does this song really feel like an antihero theme good job man wishing you all the best
omg. ok im obsessed with this song now its perfect
This is the best song of all time! SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE! LET THIS BE KNOWN!
Yes yes! Thank you my friend!
I have been looking for this song for years, HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS
Thank you sir. Just a matter of exposure I suppose. Workin on that :). Spread the word!
Honestly love the vibe so much
🖤✨🖤
My friend showed me this album a few days ago and I can't stop listening to it, great work!
Thank your friend for me :) and welcome to my world!
Misterious shady book store is exactly the vibe of this song, great choice!
📚💀🖤

Some people put the office on. Different strokes :) happy you’re here!
I've been listening to this album on loop and advertising it to everyone i know it's actually so good
There is so much I can say about it, one of the best I've heard 100%
all songs in it are absolute bangers and they are just so!! good!!
I rlly like Godspeed and Peace especially for some reason
🙏🙏 be sure to check out the new album “shipwreck”
@@ShayferJames I did!! Loved it. I was really happy to hear a familiar tune in the first song :)
Still love this masterpiece. After years. Still a banger.

So glad you discovered! Welcome to my world 🖤🖤
Absolutely wonderful this whole album is a masterpiece and should get more recognition
Thank you friend…it seems to be making some headway ✨✨
counterfeit arcade is the current album i'm listening to on loop, and this song specifically sounds SO COOL?? the verses especially sound really nice with the instrumental! love this song
🖤🙏
Thank you for bringing me to this song, Villain Songs Playlist.
Holy! I thought I found a really good small artist but apparently not! One of my favorite artists of all time and I didn't even know he had music videos!!
So man of them!
And so I'm writing a DnD villian again... This song is just too perfect. The instruments, the lyrics, everything❤
I always associate this song with villains. Amazing song! Still my jam after so many years :)))
🖤🖤🖤
This song just randomly pop up on my Spotify and I started liking it immediately
So glad!
Such a beautiful song!
🙏🙏
I'm being so fr rn my day is incomplete without this song
Thank you much.
12 years late but this song is so much better than most ive listened in 2024 i love how its kinda giving villain vibes,def will be listening to more of ur songs!💪
Yes yes! There are MANY. 4 hours worth in fact
I'm recently found your music and I must say that you're the perfect inspiration to create a triple agent character with very complex backstory
Sounds about right ;) 🖤💀✨
i do not know how i am only now finding this but I am grateful that I have found it because I love it so much
Welcome to my world new friend
Wow, just found this song on pandora and I fell in love... It feels so powerful and I love it! I'm super surprised to find out that you don't have more views and subscribers.
I’m so glad!
11 years. I'm glad you didn't stop making music.
Can’t stop won’t stop. It’s my heart :)
@@ShayferJames nice then, i love your work!
