Give me your heart and I'll show you how to feel
Send me your soul and you'll know what it is to be free
We all need a deeper purpose. One that's true and bold
The only thing that could hurt us is the curse of the fold
I once knew a man who had fire in his eyes
Bloody right hand, he had taken his enemies lives
The past was his torture
The future held his hope
Until he chose his fortune has the curse of the fold
Although you may feel like giving up, it's not the only road
The path less often traveled holds the highest, the highest of hopes
Some used to say that I'd never scale this mountain
Now that I'm close they shut their eyes and draw their curtains
Those who don't believe will always encourage defeat
They'll scream and shout and scold for the curse of the fold
Although I felt like giving up, it's not the road I chose
The path less often traveled held the highest, the highest of hopes
Held the highest, the highest of hopes
thanks a lot
Outstanding
Thank you!
Not all heroes wear capes! Thanks!

I came here from a Dark Country playlist. Goddamn this song is just hauntingly good
would it happen to be my playlist
Me too
Me too
Me too
@@yeetbeam2273 Which playlist are you guys talking about?
Shawn should totally do some video game music, his talent would shine there
Ele fez do the last of us
Red dead redemption 🙏
He's in Last of Us 2 so...
Antonio Emeterio really?
Victor C yeah, his song was in the trailer
As a metal guitarist, Shawn inspires me to take up the old dusty acoustic and play inspiring chords and try to sing! Especially this song!
Wilfred Heerspink have you played it or not?
Do it, I’ve been (halfassed) playing lead guitar for a while but him and a few other artists lead me in the direction of banjo. New chords were easy, changing to rhythm and singing along have been a fun challenge
haha yeah i hear that ! i’m the same dude
This song saved my life on so many occasions. I suffer from severe depression, and sometimes it gets so bad that I really feel like giving up on life itself. But I always come back to this song when such negative emotions take over - and it helps me cry, and release these terrible feelings... And it gives me so much hope. Shawn, if you ever see this, I just want to thank you. A thousand times, I thank you for this beautiful masterpiece.
I dont know u but,keep ur hopes up QUEEN u will get through it. |Don't give up fight it with whatever u can! Wish u all the best!
@@rakipmertkola2625 Your comment genuinely made my day! Thank you so much! I wish you all the happiness and peace in the world, you kind soul!
@@anastan5445 I am so happy to hear that and i thank you too for the good words ❤
You are a beautiful person and I believe you can do it. If you're desperate one day reply to this comment and I'll talk to you somehow if you need it
@@Ekkaisara Thank you so much for the kind words! You are a beautiful person as well, and I want you to know that the same goes for you: If you ever need to talk to someone, reply to my messages here! Sending virtual hugs and all the good vibes your way!
Something about this songs hits deep in my chest and my emotions. It's an almost indescribable aching pain
i think you just have heart burn
@@ToooooolBox thank you for your input
@@ToooooolBox Mr. President 👉👉
More to the song, read in-between in the lines. I believe it about Jesus but that's just my input
This and Madonna by Jude Christodal
The Witcher vibes are strong with this one
Yo true!!! Or maybe Red Dead Redemption 🤔
And Red Dead Redemption
@@kmh9396 yes And 2
@@MiguelGonzalez-nh9ii😊ppp
Feel like I'm watching the witcher also wow these lyrics hit hard in a dark place 😢😮
This album is so inspiring. I didnt know I could fall in love with Shawn James more than I already was till I met the man in San Francisco and got this album. His music speaks to my soul. He is the nicest man I've ever met. I cant wait to see him live again.
He is an incredible artist. Truly moving.
P.S. I'm so jealous that you got to see him live and that you actually met him! You go, girl! 🙌
I wanna meet him but I don't live in USA haha
yesss!!!!!!!!
He's in Oakland July 10
I'm jealous I have never heard an artist who speaks more truth atleast on this side of salvation. We should take heed I guess those who are drawn it is prolly the call we have on our lives leading us but in the wrong direction. " cause I cant walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong" .... have a great day
This sounds like something you'd hear at the end of an episode of a really good show
ı would like to hear that end of the preacher
witcher
funny enough it was used in the final episode of a gaming series a youtuber I follow made. thats how I found about it.
"Remember when you ran me over when we met?"-TrueAnty
Check out the final episode of a youtube serise called HAARP
Ok, after I listen to that, it's confirmed that Shawn James is the king of the current folk. Man, you deserves all the space, the Earth is smart for what your music can be. Keep on this way, we need you to bring back the music to this world
This belongs on season 2 of the Witcher, no doubts about it.
Oddly specific but I'm all for it
@@Kicktugo55 well it won't be making it onto season 1 will it 😂
@@Synonymous101 Fair enough! I just hope we get to see season 2 this year, damn Covid...
Not sure if you have seen shadow and bone series on Netflix. But this song belongs there
you're soo underrated wtf
Whenever I tell my friends who my favorite artist is, they never know, so I show them, almost yelling "how don't you know?!"...
"Don't you know the trailer for The Last Of Us two?!"
I get so mad
At least the last of us part two had something good to it (shawn james)
@@antonionunes4115 Cut the bullshit
@@Balkancuga ...no.
"The path less often travelled holds the highest of hopes''. What a great, wise quote; can't stop connecting it to ''In filth it shall be found''.
Soooo many warriors in spirit throughout the chat. Stay strong my brothers and sisters!!!👑👑
Never thought one of my favorite solos would be violin and not guitar
This is a great song about overcoming whatever obstacles block your path in life, and how Shawn chose to “scale the mountain” and fight through them.
And also about how the easiest way to do things is often not the right way.
this is the most beautiful "don't be a pussy" I think any of us will ever hear
This is amazing deep music. Such a strong voice, great lyrics and sweet sound. I have become such a fan these past couple weeks! Would love to see you live one day!!! Come to Tulsa!
Or okc!
@@theusedbox Why not both!
James, come to Serbia please!
You are such an amazing new artist and I am glad that a young artist like you even exists!
Keep up the great work and good luck on the road!
