James Taylor - Shower The People (One Man Band, July 2007)

[@lovelikelou7819]

Anthem for our world and generations to come. Thank you James! God Bless You!

[@davidjohnston710]

Wish I could give this hundreds of “thumbs up”! This is a message we need to hear every week (in church), and everyday personally. Showing love to others is the only way out of our country’s polarization and conflicts. Love means respect and tolerance for the rights, decisions and boundaries of people, as well as sharing excesses with those of lesser means. But, love starts at home, in the home, and must be learned by example! Thanks for the reminder, James!

[@AndySalinger33]

What an eloquent comment. How true! 🙏🏻🕊

[@angelawilson6512]

Totally agree, his songs have so very much heart and soul in them. That's what we all need today.. I would love to feel that shower of love right now...

[@howardraboy1165]

So well said!!bless you

[@fourthgenquilter9801]

Such a beautiful, heartfelt message. Love comes so much more naturally than the opposite emotion.

[@johncarpenter766]

Tears of joy fall from these old eyes after hearing this version of one of THE VERY BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN. Thank you, baby James.

[@TheMadmacs]

every time.

[@theresat9687gmail]

I agree! It's one of the best songs-ever!

[@paulmorriss9298]

Happy it touches your heart James T. Is good songs

[@lindapoplin4473]

You got THAT right. This version is beautiful.James keeps getting better all the time

[@gordonf.woodbine7588]

I concur with you John.

[@timelesswisdom99]

This more than a song, it's a prayer, delivered beautifully. A message that's more timely than ever . . . .

[@daveloboda1769]

Like a fine wine, he just gets better with age. Great rendition of a beautiful song.

[@BethLawrence-Gill]

Any version of his song is such a comfort and a big time reminder of the importance of our connection. ❤

[@romantichouse]

This song always makes me cry. Years since it was written and still it is valid. Love, easy to sing, but difficult to live by. Unfortunately we see through kind eyes, see color, religion, politics, financial status and education to select who we love. If we all could listen to JT and ingrain his soulful music into our hearts and lives.

[@stanglidewell8915]

I ball like a little school boy when I listen to th5.

[@vls3771]

James has had his difficult times we know for sure .... instead of becoming bitter and resentful he reminds us of a better way through pain ....more than just a song .thanks James!!

[@sherrysmirl4827]

This song will be played at my funeral one day.❤️

[@terrietravis3203]

JT...therapy for the soul...bless and thank you!!!

[@markmaier3746]

I always have to listen to this song twice, first time to cry, second time to sing along. I love JT

[@julieclifford7698]

Love this man over 40 years✨♥️🧡💛

[@ToddAndrewCole]

Shower the people you love with love! Love everyone! Thanks James. I'm glad you're here!

[@stanglidewell8915]

I absolutely love this guy's music!

[@lindapoplin4473]

Tears streaming down my face. I love James Taylor and this is truly one of his best songs. 😘❤️ Love you James, always will. I know someone else who does also. 🎶

[@nllleonard]

Just what I needed to lift me up today. Blessings and love to you, James Taylor and friends everywhere. 🕯

[@johnlweeks8096]

Ah, James you go right to my gut! I am thankful for your heart and skill.

[@davidbentley145]

Mine are watering too...Love Truly is the only engine of survival!💖

[@Dev...]

I'm an old guy who recently learned how to use a smart phone, mostly to assemble a good song list for my funeral when the time comes. This was one of the first I picked... I hope that doesn't sound morbid... You know, just that it's so beautiful. Right up there with Into the Mystic & Kermit the Frog 😀❤️✌️🎵

Audience clapping along is a nightmare when you're trying to play with a backing track! Great job, James!

[@nancyboyd6273]

I'm mad I didn't stay for your whole set in Tampa. People that took me were falling asleep. My daughter and her metal friends. I'm in a wheel chair I had no vote to stay. Your songs bring back beautiful memories, that make sad now. Many friends are gone now. It makes me cry. I try sand stay away from. Tears. But thanks ever so. I still play my guitar 54 years now. I say rock til I drop is what I say. TY❤️✌️

Just amazing. Amazing.

[@sureshkakaiya1825]

One of my favourite artistes’ whom I’ve listened to since the early 70s!

[@maidalind6329]

Once again, James Taylor is my absolute favorite recording artist, singer/songwriter. The Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, MA is also a beautiful venue to hear music, having seen many concerts there over the years. My home in The Berkshires, where James lives, is special place, as it is calming just as James is. This particular song was a part of my wedding reception 30 yrs. ago.

[@YousufSamad-z8n]

Terrific.

[@carloswf2979]

Simplesmente maravilhoso como eu amo sua obra tive o prazer de estar em um espetáculo seu no mineirinho em Belo Horizonte foi fantástico ❣️❤️🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷👏👏👏👏👏

[@KOSMICKEN09]

This is one of those songs that really gets to me 😭

[@karinturkington2455]

So beautiful.

[@danbrown4090]

Le canzoni di James Taylor sono tutte meravigliose e scegliendone una su tutte si rischia di fare peccato...Ma se proprio fossi costretto, sceglierei Shower The People!😊

[@lynnerhodes]

I love going to your concerts and can see you again and again precisely because the songs evolve, and each concert is seeing you anew, with different sounds and feelings layered on to familiar songs.

[@deborahsmith1639]

So amazing how he does that. I love hearing the change ups.

[@hibob418]

Why am I a mess right now hearing this version of the song. Really got to me. Thanks for posting - especially moving
