Give me your heart and I'll show you how to feel Send me your soul and you'll know what it is to be free We all need a deeper purpose. One that's true and bold The only thing that could hurt us is the curse of the fold I once knew a man who had fire in his eyes Bloody right hand, he had taken his enemies lives The past was his torture The future held his hope Until he chose his fortune has the curse of the fold Although you may feel like giving up, it's not the only road The path less often traveled holds the highest, the highest of hopes Some used to say that I'd never scale this mountain Now that I'm close they shut their eyes and draw their curtains Those who don't believe will always encourage defeat They'll scream and shout and scold for the curse of the fold Although I felt like giving up, it's not the road I chose The path less often traveled held the highest, the highest of hopes Held the highest, the highest of hopes

Do it, I’ve been (halfassed) playing lead guitar for a while but him and a few other artists lead me in the direction of banjo. New chords were easy, changing to rhythm and singing along have been a fun challenge

Ok, after I listen to that, it's confirmed that Shawn James is the king of the current folk. Man, you deserves all the space, the Earth is smart for what your music can be. Keep on this way, we need you to bring back the music to this world
This song saved my life on so many occasions. I suffer from severe depression, and sometimes it gets so bad that I really feel like giving up on life itself. But I always come back to this song when such negative emotions take over - and it helps me cry, and release these terrible feelings... And it gives me so much hope. Shawn, if you ever see this, I just want to thank you. A thousand times, I thank you for this beautiful masterpiece.

We should take heed I guess those who are drawn it is prolly the call we have on our lives leading us but in the wrong direction.

"The path less often travelled holds the highest of hopes''. What a great, wise quote; can't stop connecting it to ''In filth it shall be found''.
Soooo many warriors in spirit throughout the chat. Stay strong my brothers and sisters!!!👑👑
This is not "a song", this is Art... A MASTERPIECE by the way...
might have commented before, don´t remember, but this song was the first and only in years that had me completely speechless. and im so glad i found this
Never thought one of my favorite solos would be violin and not guitar
This is a great song about overcoming whatever obstacles block your path in life, and how Shawn chose to “scale the mountain” and fight through them.

AH! I love this so much! I love the chorus line 'the only thing that can hurt us is the curse of the fold' which in witchcraft refers to the three-fold rule that Wiccans follow stating that any curse you put out will return to you three-fold!

While I'm familiar with what you're referring to, just based on the other lyrics, it seems he's more or less referring to the fold in terms of giving up.
This is amazing deep music. Such a strong voice, great lyrics and sweet sound. I have become such a fan these past couple weeks! Would love to see you live one day!!! Come to Tulsa!

Isn't there s*xual content in it, though? I've never looked, but I've seen something I think before. I don't think I can ever get into the franchise then if that's the case because of ptsd.
I always get amazed by how your musics touches my very own soul and your voice echoes in every single corner of my room, and it's cool as hell. It just never gets old, keep up with the good work Shawn, this new song is dope.
Thankyou you youtube algorithm for showing me this.
The chills. AAH the CHILLS!
What a brilliant song! I feel like I’ve heard this a thousand times before. Pure emotion. Love it!!
So beautiful!!! I didn’t even know this guy existed until yesterday, but I already want to hear more of his music. I also want to learn this on guitar.
Unfortunately I can't give more than 1 like. This is the song of magic !!

I can’t believe that this type of song ( the system of a down ) still exists since 2005 that i have been listened. Pls do more of this we would appreciate your amazing work.
Enchanting, came at the perfect time.
This song helps me to focus. I love it.
You did it again, one of my favorites!
Shawn, thank you... for reminding me that my life can still have meaning 🙏🏽
Shawn's songs have genuinely helped me get comfortable singing
Thank You so much for that magical voice that is able to transfer our mind and heart in another Universe.
Your lyrical genius is supreme! It amazes me just how undervalued you seem.
I love this song! ❤️
This song-- heard a small snipet of it once in a compilation video. It's been stuck in my head of recent-- and that chorus is one heck of a motivational speech. Got me through a pretty rough point in my life recently
One of the best artists nowadays!!
what a beautiful voice...
this song is perfect. I love it !
Chills down my spine, wonderful vocals
Thank you Shawn, i love this song. the optimism is lovely, and always cheers me up, never fold when you are so close to achieving your dreams
