Shawn James, I doubt you'll ever read this but I just want you to know that your music has helped me carry on. I'm 40 years old and I recently lost my husband of 15 years to a sudden farm accident. Worst night of my life! The night he passed, unfortunately our son witnessed it all. was so angry....so bitter.....and had no idea how to deal with those feelings. I stumbled upon your music and after some time, I started to look at the events differently. Please know that there are people out there like me who find peace and comfort in your music and in your words. I truly appreciate your incredible gift! Thank you for helping to pull me out of the funk I was in. My children needed me and your music helped give them their momma back! Thank you!

You my son are truely amazing, and you have always followed your passion. I love you for this and I support you in all you do. I love that you follow your heart and not the money and material things.........! I love you!

My son found him on you tube. He told me about him and I am in love with this music. I am 78yr old woman and this guys blues just speaks to my soul. Both of my sons are musicians.

This is one of those songs you'd sit in your car a little longer to finish hearing, even though you're already home

Sometimes, only sometimes, KZfaq takes you to a place where you want to be. This is one of those times.

THREE YEARS! Three years it took for KZfaq to show me this gem.

The Buddha taught this very thing. Going from a drug addict alcoholic and realizing I was self medicating because I had a underlying issue of chronic anxiety/OCD and depression. I’m clean and sober for many years now and barely have any anxiety at all now. The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle is a life changing book. Peace and love to all that are suffering! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

His voice sounds like roots, thick roots...so strong and sturdy.

thank you naughty dog ..for bring me to this wonderfull piece of music

this is the music that truly saves people

As he said "you have to let it go and flow like the river" a car passed me on the highway, with the license plate "letitgo" God is good, and energy is real.

GOD BLESS THE PEOPLE THAT POST THE LYRICS IN THE COMMENT SECTION 🙏

His voice has so much power. Especially in Through the Valley. I give a small thanks to ND for helping me find such a great musician.

This just helped me so much. I’ve been in this battle myself. Trying to think of a safe and secure path. You know what, after 4 years of mind screwing myself of what I should do, I’m done. I’m just Gonna let it go and let it flow. Whatever happens happens. It’ll play itself out. God blessed me with this video. Thanks, brother

I woke up to find the earth was round one day And all around the world, now, things began to change Never had I ever seen the sun Rise that way above the day to greet the dawn And the earth shook beneath my feet And the storm raged through the night And I lost all that I had won Oh, but I flowed like the river Flow, oooh Flow, oooh So you think you got it all figured out All this money in the bank and women all about Well, now, whatcha gonna do when your ship starts to sink? Caught in a monstrous sea and you won't be able to think Yeah, and it's there you'll learn what I know That all of this world will fade You gotta learn to let it all go And flow like the river Flow, oooh Flow, oooh

This has become that "reset" song I listen to when things seem too dark to deal with......song is like medicine for my broken soul

Every musician should feel free to take the time to talk about the story behind their songs. I really enjoyed the first two minutes.

So much good music and so much people blinded by the mainstream and the media!

If you listen to the radio for an hour straight you won’t hear a fraction of this heart and talent...fantastic

God works in mysterious ways My Friend...

2024, still coming back to this beautiful masterpiece. You nailed it Sir James. The opening dialog makes it real, and relatable. Thank you for your art!

thank you shawn james, your music has really helped me thru the darkest time of my life..i lost my only daughter april e. benavidez on may 5, 2020. she was only 25 yrs old, everyday gets harder but ur music gives me strength.. thank you.

I just read your reply and my friends wife suffered from a farm accident as well and I'm saying God bless you all. I wish I would of had kids and that would be a blessing as well. Nowadays I drink,sit outside and listen to songs like this and cry yet God is good😊

So incredible. I wonder if this man realizes what a gift he created for the world. I hope he reads these comments at some point and sees the impact he has had on thousands of people.

It’s 6:35 am & my 15 year old with autism, who I am waiting to have full fledged conversations with, woke up & said Flow- cause he wanted to hear this song💖Thank you kindly

You can't beat a musician that plays with his whole heart and soul. You can feel it and what an amazing voice to Express it

I feel sorry for those deaf people who dislike this because obviously they're frustrated... everyone's enjoying this but them 😕

This is one of the last songs my best friend sent me before he passed away recently. Just listening to it now. Thank you so much ❤️

I don't buy music anymore but I'd buy this guys album. all of them. take my money. glad I found this

This guy has absolutely one of the best voices I've ever heard...

I love that you can do 3 instruments all at once!!!! This song is so inspirational 💙😌

I love the moment when you can see the artist ascend into the gray becoming the vessel of the muse that has touched their soul. So many philosophers talk about this but very few are blessed with this awareness. Arthur Schopenhauer illustrates this as separating one's self from the egoeistic individual tendancies. May peace be upon the artists that share their gifts.

I found this song last night and this morning i found out my dog passed away.. so i came back to remind myself to flow like the river.. ♥

2:30 am my girls asleep im solo smoking a joint facing my demons with a good cry thank you man also #BigLobeGang

When anyone is having a hard time in life and struggling between a choice. I always send them this song.

I was losing myself in life and then I found you and your music and been listening ever since brotha this song, in particular, has had a huge impact on my life. I wanna say thank you.

The people who disliked this are the ones who think the "cash me outside" girl is the best things since sliced bread.

His voice just grabs you by the soul, that link deep within you that rivets your mind to all those feelings that take you back to all those memories

shawn james.....you change every thing in my life.when i was in my darkest days of my life your music was the one who make me bellive in life.....

always,,,,, be like WATER!.... powerful force that gets through anything.... always finds a way

I stumble upon a Blessing for a song an I have been listening to all his music every since , This Guy has a real raw talent an you can hear everything in this mans voice !!!

This dude is dope

Always listen to this on repeat. I love this so much and so happy I found it

This!!!! This song I feel deep in my soul!!! Please bring me more of this!!! Soooo much love for Shawn James!

I love this song so much! I felt like I always had to be in control of everything because I had no control of my life when I was young! I just started working on letting go and just letting things flow! Then I came across this song! Synchronicity is a beautiful thing! When I heard ain’t no sunshine I fell in love with the power of his voice! Today I fell in love with his soul because it spoke to mine!

Seeing this guy and hearing the voice that comes out of him is amazing. Will have to look more into him for sure.

The air of Tennessee has eternal love born out of anguish. May lord bless and keep the land safe. ❤️‍🔥

Can't believe I've not heard it before now... absolutely beautiful song and oh so very true..Jesus loves you and so do I

every time I listen to metal music nonstop, I usually pause and randomly look for indie acoustic music.. this was one of those nights I discovered you Shawn, now I'm hooked to your music :)

TRUE TO THE LIFE WE LIVE, FLOW WITH IT AND LOVE IT EVERY MINUTE OF IT EVEN IF ITS HARD, LOVE IT!

Wonderful song. Couldn’t stop listening to it.. got it on repeat

So chilled ...... I feel like I'm sitting around a camp fire listening to him sing to my tribe, mmm 🤗💜💜💜

A beautiful friend who has helped me in so many ways lately, played this song for me last week. I felt the words that night so deeply. So much truth in this song. As for my friend, she has no idea how much I appreciate her, she is a true gift and she keeps on giving. Like this song, it will be another tool of hope

Shawn, You're a role model bro. Lead the modern blues charge. I'm so fucking ready.

Love Love this track. LOVE his beautiful voice! Thank you Shawn.

Me and my best buddy used to sing this all the time. Acapella sometimes lol. He's gone now and this song will always live with me.

It is always a blessing to find that exact musician to relate with. Its always best to let go and let flow as Shawn says. If you always keep yourself close-minded you may never get to achieve the dreams you have inside just waiting to be set free.. such an inspiration to my music. I love this man. 💯

Perfection! This song and the way Shawn sings it, gives me chills everytime!

Wow. I remember when I furst found this in 2016. Almost 4 years later and it still gives me chills. Love you Shawn. Keep it up

The freedom of choosing to be you & knowing it’s right.

This song was a recommended song by KZfaq. So glad I clicked on it. This is one of those songs you just absolutely feel. An amazing song.

One of the most beautiful songs I've heard and definitely a talented voice.

Wow, how have I only just found this beautiful soul😍 blown away.xxx

I just came across this and man have I been blessed. This song gave me chills, resonated so we'll with it

Angry with myself..I could have been listening to this wonderful artist for years. He is a true artist..he uses words to paint a picture that goes straight to our heart and soul. ❤️

Shawn James' music changed my life and made it more positive, easier to let go and simply easier pick up an instrument (Piano and Guitar).

Never heard of this guy before. Outstanding!! Love his voice 🔥

Let's Go I woke up to find the earth was round one day And all around the world, now, things began to change Never had I ever seen the sun Rise that way above the day to greet the dawn And the earth shook beneath my feet And the storm raged through the night And I lost all that I had won Oh, but I flowed like the river Flow, oooh Flow, oooh So you think you got it all figured out All this money in the bank and women all about Well, now, whatcha gonna do when your ship starts to sink? Caught in a monstrous sea and you won't be able to think Yeah, and it's there you'll learn what I know That all of this world will fade You gotta learn to let it all go And flow like the river Flow, oooh Flow, oooh

I love how they recorded this having him explain where he was in life when this song was created it makes it feel so much more personal like your watching over his shoulder.

I've lived in Bentonville, Arkansas most of my life and this is the first I'm hearing this 4 years later...

Beautiful song! Top ten for me! Love me some Shawn James! "Never have I ever seen" any artist like him!

I keep coming back to this one. Never heard of the guy my sister told me I had to listen to this one. I can’t get enough

Hi, wasnt expecting to fall in love today but here we are. 🥺👌🏼

I found this song a day after I felt like my source of happiness was about to slip away. This keeps me hopeful. Thank you Shawn James.

Stumbled across this while feeling sorry for myself. I actually smiled. Amazing what a song can do.

Wow! I think this is possibly my new favorite song. I just love every bit of it from the background to the lyrics to the riffs! Amazing

This is one of the raddest artists in my opinion. Everything he does is so pure and soulfull. Def love it.

I am hearing this for the first time and I think I am in love. Your voice is haunting. I feel it and the story through my whole body.

I listen to this every day and always when I feel the pressure of daily life. I feel this in my soul. I remind my son we just got to flow like a river and let it go. ♥️

Jesus minister to this man, tell him it was you in the midst of despair that stayed with him and never left him. By your grace and mercy we are saved! They search and see you lord but dont recognize that it is you that they are looking at. Open eyes and ears to see you Lord!

This man is my saviour in some very dark days. Thank you! Not sure how I would've done it without yaaa

Oh My!!! This guy is AWESOME!!! please release more.... much more!! We want to listen to that story telling voice!!! Thank you for sharing it with us!

I look up to this song so much when my fibromyalgia is flared up and fight it by taking myself out down the river from me.. I don't know how much this makes me feel better listening to it!!!

can't believe i'm just now seeing this what an amazing voice man

You can tell Shawn, sings from his heart and passion not just to make the top ten list. Keep it up, you have inspired me to do more and be more. I love it!

I love music so much. It's been such an inspirational part of my life. There are some that simply hear music and while it may be an enjoyable aesthetic in there surroundings there are some of us that don't hear it at all. We feel music. It drives emotions, our hope, fear, passions, inspirations and can brings us to our knees or push us when we need that little bit of help the most. Sometimes there is that one song that we feel that feels like it was written just for us. Like there was a connection between you artist and you that explains the emotions in life you just may not be able to get quite the right words out to be able to explain properly. Once you hear a song like this it feels like such a gift and also make you feel that what you've been feeling you aren't alone in this world in feeling. This is that song for me. From the lyrics to the way the music touches my soul and the meaning he gives behind it. Well, who said staying inside because you just don't want to deal with the cold can't bring a good

each artists has a background...a place from which they came from, a story to tell about their journey to how they got where they are, for us as listeners and fans of their music...we get a piece of that story though each song we listen to... music like this is just amaze-balls...beautiful can listen to his music all day :) . Thank you for your music.

This song gets played on repeat. It’s saved me mentally and then some, time and time again. Couldn’t fit my personal situations any better. Absolutely love it
