Time to be the lyrics guy because I love this song. Bury my heart in a willow tree The branches give rise to the lowest leaves Find shelter and shade in my arms Once I am gone don't mourn for me I hope you take pride in what I used to be Let go of all your pain Will you remember me when I'm gone? Or will you forget all, all that I've done? I've made mistakes that I can't take back I'm just a man both good and bad Can you forgive all my wrongs? Will you remember me when I'm gone? And can you forgive all, all my wrongs? Memories may fade But what we create may stay Time holds the key of fate Only time can reveal the gate Will you remember me when I'm gone? Or will you forget all, all that I've done? Memories may fade But what we create may stay Time holds the key of fate Only time can reveal the gate
This is truly a beautiful song... Death is such a hard thing to endure for the people that are left behind... I've lost my Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa... all within the last couple of years and it's truly left me broken... but I will say what I have left of them is the memories of the time I got with them... I will always remember them until the day comes that I join them on the other side...
Stay strong buddy! Never give up I hope good days are coming for you! All I can say is that sadness is part of life which we all go through in different stages and times but we have to stay strong stay alive and keep moving forward May God bless you and keep you safe and strong brother ♥️
I'm so grateful for LOU2, I heard him through Ellie's headphones in the opening. His voice has been a salve for a wounded heart. Every note is gold. Thank you, Shawn.
My brother loved you. I found out after the fact that you were one of his favorite artists. He was taken from us unexpectedly and too soon .. this song has made my days so much brighter. Thank you Shawn for your talent!! ❤️
over the past year, i have taught myself guitar without any help. Shawn has been a great inspiration to me, and im happy so say i can finally play this song now
today was my day. questioning every fiber of my being. what have i become. where am i going. storms on the horizon aren't so blurry anymore. must keep rowing, but my arms are so tired.
@@firdausyusoff3413 not really. i'm the guy that always stays level. i am very aware of all the angles of life. not a pessimist or optimist but the realist. analytical to a fault. (its one of many downfalls to my psyche) no one person, or thing can change my state of mind. its like a switch. no in between. this will all turn around, or one day it wont. thanks for the pleasant comment though. peace.
@@mritz579 I got the same station. Excellent to listen to, after a bad day of work, life, whatever, to just ride in the car and belt out the lyrics with Shawn. No, I don't sound anything like him, lol, but it's always relaxing and..... refreshing.
I was holding back all of my emotions until I saw his pug napping next to him while he played... Not sure why it all hit me right then and there. I think maybe because I thought about my dog that passed away sometime last year during high pandemic time and I would listen to music while she sat on my lap and snoozed. I miss cuddling her ;; Love the song as always 💙 Your music always puts me at ease and the lyrics are breathtaking.
Absolutely correct my brother in this world. I'm sure I'll go before you, for I'm older. But you have certainly made a tremendous memory and pure REAL person to me. I feel and hear so deeply when you share 👍
I lost my grandpa on May 14th of 2016. He died from sadness and I think about him every single day. Now I have he's dog, and he understands that my grandpa is not coming back. So, yes grandpa, I remember you. And I always will, Scooby too.
Of your many beautiful songs, this will always be a favorite. Showcased and sung in the simplest of form your voice stands out in the purest fashion. 🙏🎶💕
We are all perfectly imperfect.....@ShawnJames Thank you for performing this 🙏 I can only imagine the trials you were facing when this voraciously poetic composition was written.
Oh my.....I LOVE this song. This is the first time I've heard an original. Beautifully crafted with amazing lyrics. I'm definately a fan! Music is my oxygen
Your an inspiration and you will be remembered as a great lyricist and vocalist. Each song holds a piece of your soul and for that I thank you.🙏👏🖤💜🧛♀️
it took me a moment to get used to the lyrics and understand them, but, after listening to it a few times over again, i really began to fall in love with this song. you did spectacular on this one, shawn! keep up the amazing work! you're truly an inspiration
Oh my life, that has to be one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard Painful and beautiful at the same time, and I'm genuinely fighting back tears listening to it, it's hurting my throat to stop it. I haven't been hit like that in a long time. Thankyou brother. ❤
Thanks for this song, i lost my Father five days ago. I found this video today and i think i have to listen this song to understand some things about him.
i love you for this song!! you wudn't believe how much this song has helped me at the lowest point in my life..(its like u reached down& pulled me up outta the water i was drowing in) i am your #1 fan for life!!!!! 🥳💯🎉 🤟
Man, I just wanted to come here and thank you. I first was shown your stuff way back in the first LAst of us part II trailer. Since then I have discovered so much of your stuff and I love what you do. You motivated me to finally start playing guitar, and I have been practicing and getting better for about a year now, and I really think I owe that to you and your amazing music. The Guardian was the first song I learned on guitar, and it will always be dear to me. So really. Man thank you for helping me discover my passion, and for making songs that speak to me on such a deep level. If you are ever in Colorado I will jump on the opportunity to watch you play.
I already loved your songs, and the first time you released this one was awesome. I can't decide which one I love most. I just wanna say thank you because without your music I would not be here and you inspire me to be a better musician. Thank you Shawn.
The next time you're in New York playing live IM SHOWING UP. 2020 - so far are tough times! I love listening to you're music Shawn James. I found "curse of the fold" in the summer of 2019 and I am a huge fan!!!!!!! I wanna see you live and get drunk, enjoying the music. Shawn James you are a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
😍😍😍i can't choose wich of your songs is my favorite, i enjoy them all in the same way, though every one brings me a different feeling. Your music is just perfect. Hail Shawn James❤🙌🤠
@@calebtheshamen7033 how's it going now mate ? 😁 Thats the first and second song that i learn playing after i complete all the 1st stage justin guitar stuff
Hey! I also bought a guitar just to play his songs. About 1 year in, and I can play pretty much all of his songs. Now all I need is an amazing singing voice like his. Very unlikely Excuse my English, I'm not native 😁

He had the potential, he had the tools needed, all he had to do was go for it and be strong....but he decided to sell his soul and take the easy road. Don't be fooled, this man has spoke to the darkness, and it spoke back. Look at the tats on his fingers.....look at the names of his albums...of dark and light? Don't be fooled, a dead man walking.
