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

[@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!

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.

[@lovelikelou7819]

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

[@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]

[@theresat9687gmail]

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

[@paulmorriss9298]

[@lindapoplin4473]

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

[@HectorWallace777]

I concur with you John.

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 😀❤️✌️🎵

[@presidentvoice]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@cynthiareinert6876]

My funeral song too.

[@dianabroxson7469]

It does sound sad. I hope you're enjoying every little bit of your life. Seems like you deserve to.😊

Added to my list

[@timdaniel4147]

God Bless you

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!!

[@joe-vz6hx]

I truly pity anyone who listens to this song and isn't moved. God bless you JT.

[@sherrysmirl4827]

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

[@BethLawrence-Gill]

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

[@markmaier3746]

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

[@jankremmel226]

Why am I crying?

[@ToddAndrewCole]

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

[@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❤️✌️

[@harmonicaessay9649]

[@allenpitchamazingentertainment]

More tears streaming down my cheeks as JT does it again. I can't wait to see his show in Winnipeg Manitoba coming up May 5, 2022= fingers crossed that this date will stick. JT- you have been a musical friend for me my whole life and you've touched my soul in ways words can't properly say!

[@HectorWallace777]

You were lucky! I wish I could see him live in Australia

[@wizenedoak5046]

I'm so glad my parents introduced me to JT. I'm 27 and I'm glad I was shown all types of wonderful music by them. R.I.P. mom and dad. I love you guys. 🙂

[@hartofcrochetbysheryl]

Thank you James ♥️ Another song that has helped me through a lot of tough times and has also reminded me to spread love always ♥️

[@Retroscoop]

Some guys simply look much better without than with hair. Except of course myself, I think that also applies to Mister James Taylor. :0)) However, if only I had a voice that's even 1/30th as nice as his, I'd be a really lucky man.... Delicate, elegant, stylish, confident but without one ounce of arrogance.... A real master of good taste ! Greetings from Belgium, and thanks for the won-de-ful music over the years !

You can play the game You can act out the part Though you know It wasn't written for you Tell me how can you stand there With your broken heart Ashamed to playin' a fool? One thing can be to another It doesn't take any sacrifice Oh, Father and Mother And sister and brother If it feels nice Don't think twice Just shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna work out fine If you only will Do as I say Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna be much better If you only will You can run but you cannot hide This is widely known Now what you plan to do with your foolish pride When you're all by yourself alone Once you tell somebody The way that you feel You can feel it beginning to ease I think it's true what they say About the squeaky wheel Always getting the grease Better to Shower the people you love with love Yes and show them the way that you feel I know things are gonna be just fine If you only will, what I like to do to you Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Things are gonna be much better, if you only will Shower the people you love with love Show them the way you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love Show them the way that you feel Shower the people you love with love
