Hearing this has made me want to share a story I have in regards to Shawn, which I hope he sees. A few years back shortly after Shawn put out The Dark & The Light , I was busking for money on the street and didn't have a place to stay for a little while. Day in and day out I was playing and singing (and learning as I went on) Shawn's songs. There's quite a few days I'd imagine I'd go hungry if I hadn't played those songs. After all that, I managed to get somewhere stable and safe. I eventually got to see and meet Shawn when his tour came to the UK in Newcastle at Think Tank in 2020. My favourite show I've ever seen (which goes without saying) but I got a chance to actually have a short chat with him. I thought it would be strange to get too personal with the events of the past year I had spent, but I told him how his music really did more for me and than he'd ever know. He seemed to genuinely care and listen to every word, but I'm sure he could see I was a little overwhelmed. It felt like a hugely positive conclusion to an awful part of my life and I was so glad that he is as warm and kindhearted as it appeared from the hundreds of hours I'd spent watching his performances. I had actually found some Hip Hop tracks from years ago that he and a buddy had done in a somewhat joking tone and wondered if he remembered, which definitely gave him a laugh as he wasn't sure if anyone even knew about it. I got to talking with him a little about playing his music and little quirks of being a performer and such, then had a moment of 'fuck it'. I asked Shawn if I could have his permission and blessing to record and release one of his songs, though I wasn't sure which at the time. He very happily said yes, but not only that, asked for me to send him the song when it was done. With that, I said my goodbyes and went home. It's been a couple years now and I'm still unsure of which song to record, but I think of that conversation a lot. It's informed me on my direction and set the bar for kindness in meeting others. This song and it's message is as genuine as Shawn himself. It's hard to come by songs of this subject that don't feel fake or staged, but I can tell whoever is reading this, there is no one more sincere in their messages and songwriting than Shawn. To Shawn, if you read this, I hope you vaguely remember the chat. Nonetheless, this is fucking amazing work and I'm so happy to see your continued journey. Massive respect to you. From Shayler:)

Oh my days.. This song..😔 I was in a really bad place some time ago.. No home.. No money.. Just my rucksack and ropes.. Went to the Highlands of Scotland.. Stayed there climbing & found a hotel job with free board.. No one to worry about just me. Eventually I Left Scotland.. Went to England.. Sorted my s**t out & somehow started managing bands.. And today I'm living my best life.. To anyone out there who's struggling.. Don't give up.. You will find your place just go with the flow & don't be afraid. I was SO AFRAID being alone and single woman..but trust me.. You can do it. ☮️ And 💗 from the 🇬🇧 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
If you feel you're all alone If you got no place to call home I can tell you that I've been there Keep your head up & don't despair If I could take all of your pain away I'd throw them in the ocean & let them sink all the way down If I could end all the wars & murders I'd bury them so deep that they'd never find a way out the ground Life will sometimes throw the worst possible pitch but the heart is stronger than what hard times give I can tell you of all that I've lost I still feel my misery & scars If I could take all of your pain away I'd throw them in the ocean and let them sink all the way down If I could end all the wars & murders I'd bury them so deep that they'd never find a way out the ground Listen close & hear I want you to let go of your fear You can find love Let go of your strife & get what you want in your life If I could take all of your pain away I'd throw them in the ocean and let them sink all the way down If I could end all the wars & murders I'd bury them so deep that they'd never find a way out the ground.
I have met him in Dallas. After his show he stayed by the bar with his friends for a few beers with fans. He's just as you hope he would be. Kind, humble, down to earth. I told him his music was pure that it helped me in tough times and he gave me a hug.
Nem tenho palavras para dizer o quanto esse cara me inspira ele trás de volta o que é música de verdade. Essa música ficou perfeita...parabéns shawn❤🇧🇷
Another amazing song man... just got My Spotify rewind from the year.. And.. you where nr.1 on All My charts.. And would not have it Any other way man.
The Cord progression, the heart & soul in the song draws you into a visual world. A World were pain, youth & suffering are all to common in this world. The Dream of Survival & Escape from being unwanted or unloved. Sometimes we find Acceptance & Love through our Friendships we develop on the way! The visuals of the Tree House, books & gear bring back memories. Songs are but Words that find Rhythm in our Souls. Peace & Salutation!
I love everything this man makes!! So many great covers (some better than the original song IMO) and a lot of originals across multiple genres! Keep em coming!!
Jesus wept. Beautiful song. Thank you. This needs to reach more people. I say they need you at a few stadium events. Fill these hearts with love as the world crumbles. 🌎 ❤
tradução da letra... e que letra gente: Se você sentir que está sozinho Se você não tem um lugar para chamar de lar Eu posso te dizer que eu estive lá Mantenha a cabeça erguida e não se desespere Se eu pudesse tirar toda a sua dor Eu os jogaria no oceano e os deixaria afundar todo o caminho Se eu pudesse acabar com todas as guerras e assassinatos Eu os enterraria tão fundo que eles nunca encontrariam uma saída do solo A vida às vezes vai lançar o pior arremesso possível, mas o coração é mais forte do que os tempos difíceis Eu posso te contar tudo que eu perdi Eu ainda sinto minha miséria e cicatrizes Se eu pudesse tirar toda a sua dor Eu os jogaria no oceano e os deixaria afundar todo o caminho Se eu pudesse acabar com todas as guerras e assassinatos Eu os enterraria tão fundo que eles nunca encontrariam uma saída do solo Ouça com atenção e ouça Eu quero que você deixe de lado o seu medo Você pode encontrar o amor Deixe de lado sua luta e obtenha o que deseja em sua vida Se eu pudesse tirar toda a sua dor Eu os jogaria no oceano e os deixaria afundar todo o caminho Se eu pudesse acabar com todas as guerras e assassinatos Eu os enterraria tão fundo que eles nunca encontrariam uma saída do solo
This song is breathtakingly beautiful. My 10 year old daughter was recently put on hospice and I find myself listening to your music more and more everyday to get through the pain. This song will be added to a daily listen. I cant wait to see you live in Houston so I can finally feel the emotions and raw talent in person.

May I suggest -through the valley-?? Because it seems you have been through the valley...❤💪🏼

The chorus makes me slump down in my seat with a smile on my face,,, as I float along on this cloud!
WOW!!!
"Life will sometimes throw the worst possible pitch but the heart is stronger than what hard times give" that line hits in a different way guys
Cada música mais linda que a anterior! Sou muito sou fã Shawn james 🇧🇷❤
A voz desse cara é uma verdadeira terapia
Thank you for your music. It's been my guiding light in the darkness for a few years now.
Glad I made it. Happy to hear more new music!

If you feel you're all alone
If you got no place to call home
I can tell you that I've been there
Keep your head up & don't despair
If I could take all of your pain away
I'd throw them in the ocean & let them sink all the way down
If I could end all the wars & murders
I'd bury them so deep that they'd never find a way out the ground
Life will sometimes throw the worst possible pitch but the heart is stronger than what hard times give
I can tell you of all that I've lost
I still feel my misery & scars
If I could take all of your pain away
I'd throw them in the ocean and let them sink all the way down
If I could end all the wars & murders
I'd bury them so deep that they'd never find a way out the ground
Listen close & hear
I want you to let go of your fear
You can find love
Let go of your strife & get what you want in your life
If I could take all of your pain away
I'd throw them in the ocean and let them sink all the way down
If I could end all the wars & murders
I'd bury them so deep that they'd never find a way out the ground.
Incrível como sempre 🇧🇷 Brazil loves you, Shawn James!🇧🇷
This might be one of his best vocal performances. Wow!
I have met him in Dallas. After his show he stayed by the bar with his friends for a few beers with fans. He's just as you hope he would be. Kind, humble, down to earth. I told him his music was pure that it helped me in tough times and he gave me a hug.
He just Gets my Goose. (as we say, in the South). What a smooth, gentle, powerful voice.
Can't miss one release

tradução da letra... e que letra gente:
Se você sentir que está sozinho
Se você não tem um lugar para chamar de lar
Eu posso te dizer que eu estive lá
Mantenha a cabeça erguida e não se desespere
Se eu pudesse tirar toda a sua dor
Eu os jogaria no oceano e os deixaria afundar todo o caminho
Se eu pudesse acabar com todas as guerras e assassinatos
Eu os enterraria tão fundo que eles nunca encontrariam uma saída do solo
A vida às vezes vai lançar o pior arremesso possível, mas o coração é mais forte do que os tempos difíceis
Eu posso te contar tudo que eu perdi
Eu ainda sinto minha miséria e cicatrizes
Se eu pudesse tirar toda a sua dor
Eu os jogaria no oceano e os deixaria afundar todo o caminho
Se eu pudesse acabar com todas as guerras e assassinatos
Eu os enterraria tão fundo que eles nunca encontrariam uma saída do solo
Ouça com atenção e ouça
Eu quero que você deixe de lado o seu medo
Você pode encontrar o amor
Deixe de lado sua luta e obtenha o que deseja em sua vida
Se eu pudesse tirar toda a sua dor
Eu os jogaria no oceano e os deixaria afundar todo o caminho
Se eu pudesse acabar com todas as guerras e assassinatos
Eu os enterraria tão fundo que eles nunca encontrariam uma saída do solo
Eu escutei algo mais como "listen close and heal", que na tradução fica "escute atentamente e se cure"..... acho que faz mais sentido
@c137 Florentino
