Just imagine being at a campfire with this guy and his guitar, would be a once in a lifetime experience
I’ll go half and half with u to find this project, what kind of beer u like?
@@joshuamallari5854 Give me some Punk Ipa and I'll bring the guitar + guitarplaying. But the singing will be harder.
I’d hang out at that camp fire
@@soullessswing5223 Well I'll do my best fellas
I don't think I would ever wanna leave that campfire if he was singing, lol.
This song helped me through one of the toughest times of my life. I lost my daughter, my marriage fell apart, my wife divorced me, the relationship with my living daughter has changed, I was homeless. But this song, the Shawn James version, really helped me.
I’ve not only listened but sang this song so many times there’s no way to count. God and this song kept me going! Thank you Shawn James for giving this song some soul! It’s what I needed.
I like Frank Sinatra but this version of
That's Life by Shawn James hit's my heart and knocks me to my knees.
He sings this with such raw emotion.
@randywhite3947 nah
@randywhite3947 in this music shawn is better, and in general frank sinatra isnt even close to being number one.
@randywhite3947 frank is okay overall. he didnt write any famous song of his and got a good voice, but nothing crazy.
@randywhite3947 i mean, if you argue with a gun on the other person's head then maybe
This version hits home because I'm growing up listening to country songs, and this song fixes two things I like 😂
Who else listened to this song not because of joker?
Coal Guy found out it was in the joker from the comments haha
When I heard it in joker I went crazy because its one of my favorite songs
@@MiguelGonzalez-ds5dj mine too.
I just about dis game cuz of The Last of Us
i got interested with Shawn James
so I went to his Album
i tell ya, no one here, and in association, me too
Idk how more people havent mentioned this but Your cover is just so much more optimistic, it fills you with a want to continue on, while Sinatra's was more bleak, equally graceful and beautiful but somber and I love how it simply is
I kinda thought that they were both optimistic but that might be my own predisposition.
You might like this version: th-cam.com/video/8DcA2mho19U/w-d-xo.html
Well. its been 50 years since the original song came out. Music changes, if you can say it this way
No the song it’s self is optimistic
@@henrypaleveda7760 imo the song is better described as defiant and resilient than optimistic. I mean the closing line is basically "if things don't get better in the next year or so I'm gonna curl up and die"
the whole point of the song (again imo) is that the world is a harsh and unforgiving place, and there's no guarantee at all that things will work out. The important thing is to "pick (your)self up and get back in the race" because doing so is in itself fulfilling regardless of the outcome.
This is gonna be long but the whole song reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt's famous "arena" quote:
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
That's life
That's what all people say
You're ridin' high in April
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June
That's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' 'round
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
Oh, and you know I can't deny it
Many times I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart won't buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
Well, I'd hop upon a big bird and then I'd fly
I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I just pick myself up and get back in the race
That's life
Oh, and you know I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out
But my heart won't buy it
And if there's nothing shakin' come this July
Well, I'm gonna roll myself in a little ball and die
That's life
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' 'round

Yesss! I've needed this on Spotify for sooo long thank you!
Shawn James I love your covers of the legends man. keep it up. your take one these songs are incredible
Man I came back here to ask for exactly that!
Love it! can't wait to get my copy :)
Yes!! I absolutely love your voice and music I cant wait to hear more!
im not going to lie the last us us part 2 brought me to your music but its your raw talent that kept me im absolutely in love with your singing style its simply amazing
Honestly same
agree, i fall in love of his music and his voice.
Amen bro! :'v
me too bro. shawns gotta life long fan now though.
Samantha Verdesoto It is the exact same case to me lol, keep it up Shawn!
Played this at my rehab “graduation”. Totally forgot about it until my old buddy told me it made them wanna learn guitar and sent me this video. Youre inspiring people my guy!
congrats bud.
You graduate rehab
keep it up, hope your still doing well
Hope your still doing well brother.
I used to listen to that when I was studying to join the army. Depressed, weak, addicted, unemployed, without any achievements in life and with many problems in family and in myself. But always with a small flame of hope deep in the heart, which never went out, even without making any heat.
This song made me look at all that degrading situation and laugh. Laughing because somehow everything would pass, that gave me that certainty.
Today there are 5 months left for me to graduate as a sergeant. Many personal achievements. Pride and personal dignity recovered. Excited about everything I can still do in life and certain that I will achieve. Out of the darkness and away from pessimism.
It's worth believing. It's worth getting out of the ground up and taking the first step towards something good.
This song helped me when I was in a mental health facility. Gave me strength and hope.
Fight buddy you got this ! Damn I love this song!!❤
i'm so happy i discovered this guy damn
Welcome fams
Have a listen to his shadows album. I think its his best in my opinion
frick ya
Same!!!!
Just found him today!!! This man is a gift.

Suggestions to record :)
Shawn James - Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd Cover
Shawn James - The House of The Rising Sun - The White Buffalo Version Cover
Hey there ! I cant find those 2 , do you mind sharing links ?
He is just awesome cant stop binge watching his video haha
Thanks in advance !
Hy Ong hey, actually it is a suggestion to record those songs, I think would be great
Marcelo Faria ahahahahahaha I was blindly searching the whole time , you did mention its for suggestions xD
nice song choice btw , I second this motion
i need to hear he sing house of rising sun
The white buffalo
This was my grandads favourite song of all time. He's the reason I have any singing voice, it'll always hold a special place in my heart, because the day I went to sing for him, he'd passed away. Sad I missed that chance
Well.. if someone can do it better, do it......
So Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" was and is my favorite song. With that said, Shawn James, you sir did a beautiful job with this song. An awesome rendition. Love your voice and can't wait to hear more.
2017: Coming after trailer of "The Last of US Part 2"
2019: Coming after "Joker"
Um Gamer Solo Exactly. Lmao
2020: just coming
That's life
Omg this was the comment I was looking for . All this ‘ coming here cause of the joker ‘ bull shite, I knew he done a cover for a computer game
2017 - 2020
Still here since last of us trailer
This lowkey kinda fits in red dead redemption 2 vibe
Best cover if this song. Sinatra is one of my favorite Artist and you KILLED that song. Way to go. Would love to hear you cover House of the rising sun
Elizabeth Miller 1 year ago, "Best cover if this song. Sinatra is one of my favorite Artist and you KILLED that song. Way to go. Would love to hear you cover House of the rising sun
What the fuck?! Yes! Oh my god! Yes!!!! I love you!!!!!
Just what WE need to hear now, THAT'S LIFE and We'll make it happen for Our Future Generations and ALL🙌🙏👨👩👧👦🐣🐕🐎🐈⬛🇨🇦🌎✌️💚💞
they say a singer is the one to bring emotion to stories. well Shawn.. the emotions that you bring are not only align with the story but completely kicks frank Sinatras happy version out of the water . frank is to happy to sing a song like this . he does not relate with the story . TRUST ME He was a made man . you felt struggle and know the pain this song defines . I love your soul and I am blessed to have you in my ears all the time , thanks for being a hero brother !
No need to shit on Sinatra dawg chill out
Sinatras version plays with just that contrast
Haze yeah he clearly hasn’t listened to the Sinatra version
Also clearly Sinatra felt some of that shit he wouldn’t write about it otherwise
Ulu Elixir - Clearly you have no clue whatsoever about Sinatra's life or you wouldn't make such an asinine statement. 🙄
"How is this guy so good?!" *realizes it's shawn james* "Oh, that explains it."
Like I'm sure all of us who love this song do in our own space, Shawn sings it passionately...personally...like he felt and wrote it.
Stumbled over this video whilst on Coronavirus quarantine. Just perfect.
Same

Coronavirus crazy lockdown .. lonely... sick of shit ... had enough of the bulshit... Fuck it ... That's life ... I will rise above

"I was just thinking of joke."
"Do you want to tell it to me?"

Too many mistakes in the lyrics.
that's the original ones, Shawn james version is a bit unique
REDLIFE good covers shouldn't sound exactly like the original in my opinion otherwise youre not showing what you can do just that you can copy well
Paul C Some covers change the whole style of a song, if they gonna change the whole style then they might as well make their own song.
googled for likes xD
I was in your concert last night in São Paulo (07/09/22), Shawn, and it was awesome! Your energy is insane! I had the chance to take a photo with you and I will never forget! I hope you and Sage come back to Brazil soon! 🥰❤️🇧🇷
Aproveitou por mts q n foram!! Que foda🎉❤
TH-cam: Why are you listening to a cover of this song instead of the real version by Frank Sinatra?
Me: You Wouldn't get it.
They're both fire, but in my bias-opinion, Sinatra did it better.
i think it’s better because you can understand more than my opinion
Bros, this was just a joke comment.
i know that but i just whant to say that
Well done, Arthur
This is the best version I've ever heard in my life. Maybe the best cover ever.
Man your version of this song I find myself belting it when I’m driving and the tears just come rolling
I don't even know if you will read this. But your cover is heart-melting, thank you for this
Good lord, this song is beautiful along with such soulful vocals. You made my year, brother.
Me encanta este cover me pone la piel chinita hace mucho buscaba está versión la primera vez que la escuché en Frank Sinatra me encantó pero me encontré este cover en You tube si saber quién era el que la cantaba solo era un. Video que alguien subió y me encantó !!!! Lo descargué en mi cel y lo escucho todo el tiempo ahora ya se quién es el que pone esa delicia de voz un bello barbón 👈 😍🎵🎶
Man, you've got an awesome voice, such an astonishing talent should be wide known by everyone. Back at my place it even looks like routine: Gets to school, watch classes, and every 5 minutes, we share your songs, comment about them and even try to sing it between the classes. You're a genius, keep up with the good work, you're awesome and it makes me really happy that I've got the chance to know your work
I swear you must be an angel, I wish I could sing like you. Your voice is absolutely phenomenal!
Fairtx brings me here thanks
yeah, fair Give us a good recomendation
same lol
same
Same guys lol
Same, though I can't remember which video of his it was in. Anyone know?
OMG his voice gives me chills so very talented and handsome
Like so many others I discovered your music thanks to " The Last of Us 2" and since that day I'm an absolute fan. There's not a day I don't listen to your songs, they've put a big smile on my face, brought me to tears and most of all gave me something to hang on to in my darkest hours and gave me some emotions when I couldn't feel them myself. And even if you'll probably never see this comment I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all those wonderful hours listening to your songs, and for more than probably saving my life...
Thanks a great lot, please keep up your amazing work and heartly greetings from Switzerland!
Where was this in the last of us 2?
I’d love to hear: my way, by you, bro.
Your music really touches my heart.
Skip to 2:44 for instant chills.
Best cover in my opinion 1st time watching.. already subbed.

PPP JANG 🙌
The one and only is giving his blessings from the skies for this amazing voice
Holy hell dude! There's so much emotion in this cover compared to the original, I'd been depressed for 10 years on and off, it reminds me of who I am, what I've been through and how I've persevered. I love it. Thanks dude.
personally, I discovered you this year and you have helped me a lot. I am a radio animator in quebec (canada) and I used your cover “That’s life” on the air as an example of positivism and creativity. your voice is sublime and filled with depth. your passion shines through and it's encouraging to listen to your music! I didn’t have the chance to get my hands on this 7 ’’! Maybe someday I'll find it from a collector for my turntable 🤞🤞! Good evening and to the pleasure! ☺️😎
Bonjour Raphaëlle! J'habite a Chertsey a Lanaudiere, vous animer pour quel poste!? Bonne journée!
The best has yet to come!!!!
Essa mudança de tom e simplesmente fantástico.
Belíssima versão.
That vocal break to put the kapo on for the key change was pretty clever. Cameraman helped keep it slick too ;)
Shawn, you are incredible and amazing. Hugs e greetings from Brazil. We truly love your music ❤
Possibly one of the best covers I've heard from someone I've never heard of 🙌
lo ame desde que lo escuche, siento la canción por medio de su voz, me encanta, no lo habría descubierto de no ser por la pelicula :(
de que pelicula
te falta conocer ufff, un monton de cantantes como el.
My grandfather would approve he loved Sinatra like I love Hendrix and while I listen to this I can see him in my mind nodding and tapping along goodshit shawn👏👏👏👍👊
Shawn James and Sam Ryder. I need that duo in my life ✨
When you kill 3 men in the Gothan subway
That's life bro
The first kill reminded me of a video game clip
You go dance crazy in a bathroom !!
I can relate
Haha good shit
blew me away again my friend, I really can't deal with your talent.
Dont care about the Joker or Last of Us 2..
Shawn James is a fucking AWSOME. You keep marching forward my homie. All the love from Bazil.
The best Sinatra cover I've ever heard, hands down.
Thanks The last of us, thank you Shawn james!
aca lo mismo!!
I still love this song so much
Make me cry i dont know why
2 videos in less than 7 days.
I think I died and I am heaven
This song is what was chosen by a soul stuck between planes as I assisted in them finally ascended freed from the confinement of a very 3D barrier keeping them from finding thier HEAVEN. You channel you are LIGHT! I saw him standing in light finally relieved and saying good bye.. 💙🙏⚡⚡⚡🙏💙
magistral, acabas de hacer una de esas cosas por lo que precisamente vale la pena vivir
a música ficou linda na sua forma de toca la e canta la
I just discovered him. Love his voice
Who's listening the song in this quarantine? :(
Heya there I'm here too friend rather troublesome quarantine is But don't let it get you down because you've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate
A poet, a pawn and a king

Comments:
10% great song bro!
90% JOKERRRRR 🃏
It wasn't like that one month ago!
I hate Joker for this. I have almost 10k of views and it was good.
@@LucasPicada damn bitter much? :(
I don’t see joker comments
Came for Joker, stayed for Frank Sinatra, cried for Shawn James.
I literally can not tell you how many times I’ve listened to this rendition of a classic, I truly hate how much I, heck’s g and love howI lost, this guy could sing my whole life if I gave him the right diary so
Wow. He can sing blues, folk, and even Sinatra. That voice is some amazing instrument.
Man you've inspired me to sing, well what I mean is I was casually singing my introverted lil heart out and my ex gf and friends heard me and was like wow, your voice is unexplainably awesome man keep up the dopeness my guy
Soon as his voice starts I had to save this wow
It’s amazing this song and cover and I don’t know why a lot of people just don’t live a like to this.
U mean leave?
More fun to be angry dicks.
Beautiful song and this cover is just magnificent
Shawn James make every song better. This is an awesome cover. I prefer this one over the original!
Poder escuchar una interpretación así, hace que aprecie esas increíbles cosas de vivir de esta vida
SOY VIVIANA DE PILAR, BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA HERMOSA VERSION
Play this song on repeat! Amazing cover!
Holly shit bro, you're awesome. I covered your Through the valley but I cant compare me to you. hahaha You deserve a lot more!
Este cover me conmueve!! La melodía y la voz me dan tanta paz!
I like Shawn James covers of songs over the original because I feel liek he has more emotion just by the sound of his voice
I freaking love this guys music and hands down this is my favorite song sung by him, I really wanna hear him do a cover of 'Drink the Water by Justin Cross' that would be freaking dope as 😁✌

I found this thanks to Sir Swag 'This months news without the BS (Oct. 2019)'
It's even more true these days, especially in the U.S.
Your music is a therapy for my mind. Thank you!
Como é incrível!
Who was here far before Joker? That’s right, this guy!
Nice.
Thamac15 and who was here before this guy? That’s right our favorite boy Jobby the Hong.
I haven't seen the new joker yet, is it worth watching
Timothy Erickson it’s pretty good if you like a slower paced character study. It’s not an action movie. If your into that then yes, definitely.
