    I like Frank Sinatra but this version of
    That's Life by Shawn James hit's my heart and knocks me to my knees.
    He sings this with such raw emotion.

    This song helped me through one of the toughest times of my life. I lost my daughter, my marriage fell apart, my wife divorced me, the relationship with my living daughter has changed, I was homeless. But this song, the Shawn James version, really helped me.
    I’ve not only listened but sang this song so many times there’s no way to count. God and this song kept me going! Thank you Shawn James for giving this song some soul! It’s what I needed.

    Idk how more people havent mentioned this but Your cover is just so much more optimistic, it fills you with a want to continue on, while Sinatra's was more bleak, equally graceful and beautiful but somber and I love how it simply is

    • @bena1826
      @bena1826 2 года назад +18

      @@henrypaleveda7760 imo the song is better described as defiant and resilient than optimistic. I mean the closing line is basically "if things don't get better in the next year or so I'm gonna curl up and die"
      the whole point of the song (again imo) is that the world is a harsh and unforgiving place, and there's no guarantee at all that things will work out. The important thing is to "pick (your)self up and get back in the race" because doing so is in itself fulfilling regardless of the outcome.
      This is gonna be long but the whole song reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt's famous "arena" quote:
      "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

    lyric by Shawn
    That's life
    That's what all people say
    You're ridin' high in April
    Shot down in May
    But I know I'm gonna change that tune
    When I'm back on top, back on top in June
    That's life
    And as funny as it may seem
    Some people get their kicks
    Stompin' on a dream
    But I don't let it get me down
    'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' 'round
    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    And I know one thing
    Each time I find myself flat on my face
    I just pick myself up and get back in the race
    That's life
    Oh, and you know I can't deny it
    Many times I thought of quitting, baby
    But my heart won't buy it
    And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
    Well, I'd hop upon a big bird and then I'd fly
    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    And I know one thing
    Each time I find myself flat on my face
    I just pick myself up and get back in the race
    That's life
    Oh, and you know I can't deny it
    Many times I thought of cuttin' out
    But my heart won't buy it
    And if there's nothing shakin' come this July
    Well, I'm gonna roll myself in a little ball and die
    That's life
    And as funny as it may seem
    Some people get their kicks
    Stompin' on a dream
    But I don't let it get me down
    'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' 'round

    Many times I've thought of quitting baby, but my heart won't buy it
    And if I didn't think it was worth one single try

    I used to listen to that when I was studying to join the army. Depressed, weak, addicted, unemployed, without any achievements in life and with many problems in family and in myself. But always with a small flame of hope deep in the heart, which never went out, even without making any heat.
    This song made me look at all that degrading situation and laugh. Laughing because somehow everything would pass, that gave me that certainty.
    Today there are 5 months left for me to graduate as a sergeant. Many personal achievements. Pride and personal dignity recovered. Excited about everything I can still do in life and certain that I will achieve. Out of the darkness and away from pessimism.
    It's worth believing. It's worth getting out of the ground up and taking the first step towards something good.

    I've come so far since I first found this; I was borderline insane, couldn't have been in a worse place physically, mentally, and spritually. Now I've got a decent job, learning a skill, and a growing music career, and I feel more stable than ever. This song still applies though; I've had some of my most serene moments in the midst of my worst turmoils with no money at all. And at the highest paying job I've had, or when when I thought I had the most friends, I couldn't have been more miserable and broken down. That's life

    Lyrics:
    That's life (that's life) that's what people say
    You're riding high in April
    Shot down in May
    But I know I'm gonna change that tune
    When I'm back on top, back on top in June
    I said, that's life (that's life) and as funny as it may seem
    Some people get their kicks
    Stompin' on a dream
    But I don't let it, let it get me down
    'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' around
    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    And I know one thing
    Each time I find myself flat on my face
    I pick myself up and get back in the race
    That's life (that's life) I tell ya, I can't deny it
    I thought of quitting, baby
    But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
    And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
    I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly
    I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
    A poet, a pawn and a king
    I've been up and down and over and out
    And I know one thing
    Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face
    I just pick myself up and get back in the race
    That's life (that's life) that's life
    And I can't deny it
    Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
    But if there's nothing shakin' come here this July
    I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
    My, my
