Saw Shawn a few weeks ago here I’m San Antonio. He is why I decided to get better at acoustic and we talked about guitar and how awesome slide guitar is. Dude is real as shit and I’m glad I meet him
Exactly! I've been a fan for a few years, and even subscribed to his channel. But somehow today was the first day I've heard this. It came on, and I was like, wtf is this? A new song? Nope!
Oh, let me tell my story friend That you might learn to stay away from sin I took a life not mine to take Imprisoned for this haunting dread mistake My heart was harder than my soul They sentenced me to life without parole Where no one cares, we're all the same And I must wear this number for my name Chorus: Now life to me is black and white I'll wear these stripes until the day I die But this ball and chain around my leg Won't drag me down, won't drag me down When I am dead My mother prayed so hard for me She did her time down on bended knees But I was young and I had no fear Her pleading voice still echoes in my ear Don't let the beauty blind your eyes This world is filled with discolored lies For greener fields don't sell your soul You'll think you're rich with a pocket of fool's gold Chorus I'd rather be in this dark cell Than to be free and die and go to hell God bless the day of my new birth I don't have to pay the price that I deserve Chorus Ending: And when I'm dead and take my flight I'll leave behind this world of black and white
Ill tell ya why...Because people decided to take the path through the light side of the forest...And that gave them nicki minaj, justin bieber and many others....But if you go through the dark side....You find this....Theres always beauty in dark places....You can tell by his music its the dark side...Cuz he sits on the dark side...He can see whats wrong with the light side...But the light side cant see it because they are the lightside....They believe there is nothing good because its the light side...But if you are on the dark side you look over to the light side...Pointing out every fuck up of humanity...Realising that this world...Drags you down...But only the persistent survive...And only those with soul possess wisdom
now this is actually the rare case where I actually prefer the original over Shawn James's version I just like how cherry Holmes says "now life to me is black and white, I'll wear these stripes till the day I die." just sounds more hopeful to me the way she sings it
I absolutely love his different hats in this session!! And his voice is soul healing!!
Beautiful great emotion like a force that grabs your soul makes them alligator tears come rollings down the cheeks love you god bless!!
Your can feel the music as he sings it, goose bumps and tears

Wow guys, great cover!

Were the hell is the album version??? This song is too incredible to not have one.
Great music!

This was in a fans basement
Shawn has done all kinds of shows for people after shows, theres a video around of him doing a birthday party for a guy
How do these videos have like 500-1000 views? These songs are incredible.
I ask myself the same thing
Correct!
Davi Johnson true

All songs are beautiful
Psychedelic Stones prophetic.
Oh, let me tell my story friend
That you might learn to stay away from sin
I took a life not mine to take
Imprisoned for this haunting dread mistake
My heart was harder than my soul
They sentenced me to life without parole
Where no one cares, we're all the same
And I must wear this number for my name
Chorus:
Now life to me is black and white
I'll wear these stripes until the day I die
But this ball and chain around my leg
Won't drag me down, won't drag me down
When I am dead
My mother prayed so hard for me
She did her time down on bended knees
But I was young and I had no fear
Her pleading voice still echoes in my ear
Don't let the beauty blind your eyes
This world is filled with discolored lies
For greener fields don't sell your soul
You'll think you're rich with a pocket of fool's gold
Chorus
I'd rather be in this dark cell
Than to be free and die and go to hell
God bless the day of my new birth
I don't have to pay the price that I deserve
Chorus
Ending:
And when I'm dead and take my flight
I'll leave behind this world of black and white
Blain Johnson thanks!
