Shawn James - The Curse of The Fold (Audio) - The Dark & The Light 

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

I came here from a Dark Country playlist. Goddamn this song is just hauntingly good

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!

Something about this songs hits deep in my chest and my emotions. It's an almost indescribable aching pain

Shawn should totally do some video game music, his talent would shine there

This sounds like something you'd hear at the end of an episode of a really good show

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.

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 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.

The Witcher vibes are strong with this one

"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!!!👑👑

This is the most powerful thing you have access to remember all of you there is something up above

This is not "a song", this is Art... A MASTERPIECE by the way...

When i feel so down, this song brings me to the highest, the highest of hopes

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!

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.

Never thought one of my favorite solos would be violin and not guitar

Thank you Shawn, i love this song. the optimism is lovely, and always cheers me up, never fold when you are so close to achieving your dreams

AH! I love this so much! I love the chorus line 'the only thing that can hurt us is the curse of the fold' which in witchcraft refers to the three-fold rule that Wiccans follow stating that any curse you put out will return to you three-fold!
