I went through a really hard time during spring. I had to restart in multiple ways. your music helped me a lot, and I am grateful for that. James, you will not see this comment, but regardless of this, thank you. you are a good man

This man can do no wrong in my eyes. With in just 3 performances this man has exceeded 85% of the mainstream singers. He is criminally underrated

Midnight Dove Why do you wander On through clouded skies? There must be a glimpse Of hope in sight Spread your wings And take to flight Leave the past behind The dawn will birth A brand new light So fly on And never Look back from where you came The sky opens up And it's calling out your name Cause all you got is all All you got is all All that you need I found myself Found myself Amongst the thorns and weeds You found yourself Found yourself Amongst the beautiful trees And we're not the same No we're not the same No we're not the same No we're not the same Cause I've got a blow like a wind Flow like the sea Deep down inside of Every part of me My heart's been achin For the fear of the stretch Of my wings Now with every move I make And every breath I take My mind's been worrying About what's at stake But I just gotta let them go With the wind Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go With the wind Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go Midnight Dove Why do you wander alone?

[@coreyarbelaez8689]

one of the most refreshing artists to come out of this generation. such and old heart and soul. the lyrics are that of a simpler outlook on life. that of just raw emotion. this is by far my favorite artist around. can't hear enough. whether it's just him or with the shapeshifters. can't wait to see him live

[@dawnrosewallflower508]

Corey Arbelaez I totally agree with every comment you have made. When Shawn sings, it's as if my own heart and soul find their voice and are cleansed of some of the hurt they are burdened with! Simply superb in every way. Kushty Bok.

“So spread your wings and take to flight, leave the past behind, the dawn will birth a brand new light. So fly on and never look back from where you came, the sky opens up and it’s calling out your name, cause all you got is all you need” Those lyrics literally changed my entire world. Never have I ever related to every single freaking word in a song, this is a masterpiece and in my opinion, his best song, but I have so many favorites it’s hard to place any one above another. Let it all go!!! YES 👏🏼 SHAWN 👏🏼 JAMES 👏🏼 YESSS 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

" I found myself amongst the thorn and weeds you found yourself amongst the beautiful trees we are not the same"

[@itszi3867]

Can we talk about how incredible the violonist was??? Wow

[@JayVaan]

most underated Singer ever!

[@adsasites5897]

This is a true artist, as was bethoven, as was piccaso. Let's not use that word so lightly. an artist expresses what his soul feels in a piece as unique and unrepeatable as the feeling that created it. 99.9% of today's so called artists are not, they are craftsmen and may be very good at creating empty mass produced pieces to sell to the masses, but they are not artists. To be able to stand out in your field while being true to yourself must be the most difficult thing and the day that this type of artists occupy a place of privilege in the preferences of the majority will be an indication that we have matured as a society, that we are no longer so superficial; but we are far from that yet.

[@iasminmai2569]

Os anos vão passando, mas nunca me canso dessa música. Shawn é incrível.❤️
