I went through a really hard time during spring. I had to restart in multiple ways. your music helped me a lot, and I am grateful for that. James, you will not see this comment, but regardless of this, thank you. you are a good man
This song helps me deal with my son's death. We released a dove at the service.. I'm amazed at how positive energy and amazing music can turn my life around! Thanks a bunch of all kinds Shawn James!
Now this is real music. So much passion, and devotion. Gives me chills. And this is coming from someone who loves Death Metal music. Music is such a powerful thing.
Ranges from tears to eyes welling up whenever I hear this. Makes it a bit awkward when it comes on through my Playlist when I'm at the grocery store 😂. People are probably like... Dude's really moved by those bananas 🤣
Midnight Dove Why do you wander On through clouded skies? There must be a glimpse Of hope in sight Spread your wings And take to flight Leave the past behind The dawn will birth A brand new light So fly on And never Look back from where you came The sky opens up And it's calling out your name Cause all you got is all All you got is all All that you need I found myself Found myself Amongst the thorns and weeds You found yourself Found yourself Amongst the beautiful trees And we're not the same No we're not the same No we're not the same No we're not the same Cause I've got a blow like a wind Flow like the sea Deep down inside of Every part of me My heart's been achin For the fear of the stretch Of my wings Now with every move I make And every breath I take My mind's been worrying About what's at stake But I just gotta let them go With the wind Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go With the wind Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go Midnight Dove Why do you wander alone?
These two create the ultimate sound frequency for my ears that will make a bad day good again. So, I thank you both for such hard work and true dedication!!
My brother sent me this a few weeks before we departed… I wished I would have listened closer…. I played “ brother ” at his celebration of life an held his little brother as we shared the same tears…. The midnight dove will fly on in my heart eternally. Love u alex
one of the most refreshing artists to come out of this generation. such and old heart and soul. the lyrics are that of a simpler outlook on life. that of just raw emotion. this is by far my favorite artist around. can't hear enough. whether it's just him or with the shapeshifters. can't wait to see him live
Corey Arbelaez I totally agree with every comment you have made. When Shawn sings, it's as if my own heart and soul find their voice and are cleansed of some of the hurt they are burdened with! Simply superb in every way. Kushty Bok.
Sage and Shawn and the rest of the Shapeshifters were such nice people when I met them. And the music is unreal obviously. Look forward to seeing Shawn in May. Wicked voice!!!

Thanks!!!
This is a true artist, as was bethoven, as was piccaso. Let's not use that word so lightly. an artist expresses what his soul feels in a piece as unique and unrepeatable as the feeling that created it. 99.9% of today's so called artists are not, they are craftsmen and may be very good at creating empty mass produced pieces to sell to the masses, but they are not artists. To be able to stand out in your field while being true to yourself must be the most difficult thing and the day that this type of artists occupy a place of privilege in the preferences of the majority will be an indication that we have matured as a society, that we are no longer so superficial; but we are far from that yet.
“So spread your wings and take to flight, leave the past behind, the dawn will birth a brand new light. So fly on and never look back from where you came, the sky opens up and it’s calling out your name, cause all you got is all you need” Those lyrics literally changed my entire world. Never have I ever related to every single freaking word in a song, this is a masterpiece and in my opinion, his best song, but I have so many favorites it’s hard to place any one above another. Let it all go!!! YES 👏🏼 SHAWN 👏🏼 JAMES 👏🏼 YESSS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Man this song always makes me cry. I have felt trapped for so long and I want to have the freedom I've always wanted. Hopefully I get there. This song just makes me want to fight harder for it.
Dude could give Stapleton a run for his money. I'm so happy he's making music. Stapleton, Sturgil Simpson and now this cat are my new favories. Nice work
Joder.... shawn james tiene una voz sin igual, tan hermosa, donde se le nota sus sentimientos, y como siente cada palabra que canta, y como toca el violin sage, joder... esto es hermoso
What is this? I now know who it it is but what is it? Soul, blues, folk or just beauty. I've certainly been taken in. Thinking he is a marvel and should be HEARD by many, many more.
I love how his eyes are always closed when he's performing, because I can truly understand why. Whenever I'm singing, I always close mine and get lost in the feelings that the song is making me feel and just enjoy the sensation of singing. Love this guy!!!!
I heard you for the first time 2 years ago theres not a song yet I did not like and wanted to say thank you Its music like yours that you feel in your soul I lost my brother to suicide and somefriends over the years and your sound is thought provoking and meaningful in each persons own way that connects to it in thier own way thanks again
Thank you for this, just so good for the soul. I am recovering from PTSD and your music is one of the things I listen to that works to help me. Keep up the great work.
This man can do no wrong in my eyes. With in just 3 performances this man has exceeded 85% of the mainstream singers. He is criminally underrated
FYI no one is perfect, but he is the next Jonny Cash for sure!
@@jonathanvian2607 at least in my opinion
Agreed
100% agree with you ;)
99%
I went through a really hard time during spring. I had to restart in multiple ways. your music helped me a lot, and I am grateful for that. James, you will not see this comment, but regardless of this, thank you. you are a good man
🙏🏾🙌🏾🎶🎶
Might have just saved my life 😢
Jesus Christ, imagine having a voice like this. I am so unreasonably jealous.
Keep singing any time you can and you get yours too :)
Just practice my dude. Everyone has the same pipes :)
@@arealhuman826 that's factually wrong
@@guy2090thanks nancy
Oh same
This song helps me deal with my son's death. We released a dove at the service.. I'm amazed at how positive energy and amazing music can turn my life around! Thanks a bunch of all kinds Shawn James!
i'm sorry for your loss, hope you find peace & solitude in this amazing music.
My friend’s 7 month old son just died and this song also helped me. Peace and love to you in your journey 💙
Now this is real music. So much passion, and devotion. Gives me chills. And this is coming from someone who loves Death Metal music. Music is such a powerful thing.
JWC art I'm metal all day but Country/folk can be just pure passion as any metal.
@@jessesimmons9238 agreed.
Mashed Potato Johnson would be proud.
Music is music. The art form is how we express things that are beyond words sometimes.

If people look at you with a weird face. Just reply with: Shawn James - Midnight Dove live at the gaslight session, and they'll understand :)
Midnight Dove
Why do you wander
On through clouded skies?
There must be a glimpse
Of hope in sight
Spread your wings
And take to flight
Leave the past behind
The dawn will birth
A brand new light
So fly on
And never
Look back from where you came
The sky opens up
And it's calling out your name
Cause all you got is all
All you got is all
All that you need
I found myself
Found myself
Amongst the thorns and weeds
You found yourself
Found yourself
Amongst the beautiful trees
And we're not the same
No we're not the same
No we're not the same
No we're not the same
Cause I've got a blow like a wind
Flow like the sea
Deep down inside of
Every part of me
My heart's been achin
For the fear of the stretch
Of my wings
Now with every move I make
And every breath I take
My mind's been worrying
About what's at stake
But I just gotta let them go
With the wind
Let it all go
Let it all go
Let it all go
With the wind
Let it all go
Let it all go
Let it all go
Midnight Dove
Why do you wander alone?
thank you sir for saving the trouble of searching the lyrics
ty
A bit late, but I'm pretty sure it's "blow like the wind."
@@xenogorwraithblade2538 I took this from google at the time
@@Felghanna makes sense. Man, I must still be drunk from last night. I didn't remember responding at all. Sorry about that. X'D
How. Does this. Have less than millions upon millions of views.
It would if he had
it on his own channel!
We did that as well. "Who Did That To You" is sitting at around 48k views!
It's to Epic for mankind.
It's distinguished in an amazing way, too good for most to appreciate. Talk about music for the few elect like you(lol)
5 yrs. And 2.5 million later...all good things take time 😉
That man is killing it on the fiddle! I love it
His nane is Sage Cornelius!
Sage is amazing!! ❤️
The way he picks it near the chorus is just insane
I’m so glad you guys decided to keep his videos on here! I LOVE this version
that dude rips on the fiddle god damn
Sage Cornelius is a bad man on the fiddle for sure! Thanks for watching
I didnt see his name mentioned anywhere. Thanks for his name. Give Eric Stanley a listen. young man has some skills
Ykdr!
These two create the ultimate sound frequency for my ears that will make a bad day good again.
So, I thank you both for such hard work and true dedication!!
He knows not to overwhelm the singer, too. He's good.
As a guy that only listens to death metal, i find this song a masterpiece, Shawn James is a legend
“I found myself amongst the thorns and weeds, you found yourself amongst the beautiful trees and we’re not the same”
If you listen to the album version of this song 1:45 to 2:08 or something like that is probably my favourite piece of music i have ever heard
Got here from a journey starting with "The last of us part 2" video. I don't regret it for a second !
Same
Yeah naughty dog knows what good music is
Same, saw him twice in Atlanta and Jacksonville. Going to see him again in August!
wow same im like this good music an now here I am listening to all his songs glad I looked him up
Andrei C. Me too
My brother sent me this a few weeks before we departed… I wished I would have listened closer…. I played “ brother ” at his celebration of life an held his little brother as we shared the same tears…. The midnight dove will fly on in my heart eternally. Love u alex

@@arealhuman826 lmao, bruh I know right, talk about bandwagon 😂😂😂😂
I wish they'd uploaded all these songs to Spotify. These are the best renditions of my favourite songs from Shawn James. Impeccable!
Sage and Shawn and the rest of the Shapeshifters were such nice people when I met them. And the music is unreal obviously. Look forward to seeing Shawn in May. Wicked voice!!!

Shawn has always been one of my all time top favourites. He needs more recognition for sure.
The 257 individuals who disliked this video have perceptual disturbances.. this is pure gold....
This song is a sad song that burns like whisky in my soul
most underated Singer ever!
4:52 omg that voice, from deep inside ! Amazing !!!
It gets to the bones!

Having a hard time finding a way to express my adoration and respect... this is beyond...
Os anos vão passando, mas nunca me canso dessa música. Shawn é incrível.❤️

This is one of my favorite songs of all time!! He's truly an amazing musician and an inspiration for artists everywhere.
Can we talk about how incredible the violonist was??? Wow
This man sings to my soul
" I found myself amongst the thorn and weeds you found yourself amongst the beautiful trees we are not the same"
Man this song always makes me cry. I have felt trapped for so long and I want to have the freedom I've always wanted. Hopefully I get there. This song just makes me want to fight harder for it.
If I haven't thanked RUclips or Shawn James Let it be said I most Thankful.
Fuuuuck. God dam this guy is phenomenal. How more people dont listen to shawn james is beyond me. His voice is epic as fuck.
My favorite non-metal artist without any competition
Best male blues voice I've heard since John Fogerty. He can do dirty blues, ballads and folk equally well.
I lost my son 2 years ago at 7 months old music like this is what keeps me going, keeps the noose off neck ❤ Thank you x
His voice takes me away in time and reminds me of sitting out in nature being free in the world. A cold beer, a bowl and music and forest
Jamais vou me cansar dessa música.
that's a masterpiece, greatings from Brazil 🤟🤟
The violin performance was AmaZing🎉🎉🎉🎉 especially the face moves!😄😘
How is it that the world isn't breaking down your door?! AMAZING!!!

Many people have told me that I am a great descriptive writer but IDK if I can ever come close to writing a song as beautiful as this.
