    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!

    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

    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.

This is the second christmas without my pops who unfortunately lost his battle with heroin. I found him that tragic day. As my luck would have it I almost lost my mother that same dreadful night. My best friend was there to help me grieve over my father and save my mother. That best friend lost his fight with heroin only 4 months ago now. This is my first christmas without him and my heart is heavy with all the memories of turmoil. Your voice and this song help ease the raging waters. Please don't ever stop sharing your talent.

Spent a good 20 minutes chatting with him on my birthday and traveled 17 hours to see him. He was so appreciative to all his fans. Love this guy. Ps shawn the shirt and poster you signed are the only ones I have ever hung on my wall and do so proudly. Thanks for being a great dude.

    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
