Shawn James - "When I'm Gone"

Details

Description

I’d like to think that I’ll be remembered for something good after I’m gone but the truth is that I’m just a man both good and bad. I’ve made many mistakes in my life but I’ve also learned many lessons and have evolved into a better person by learning from those errors.
No one is perfect and I truly don’t strive to be anymore.

I used to have unrelenting standards for myself and others. I still struggle with that way of thinking from time to time but I’ve made big strides to get away from those unhealthy patterns.

In the end, I want my music to give a voice to those who can’t find the words, to help release emotions for those who just can’t let go and to hopefully inspire some who are still on their way but don’t know how to get there.

“Bury my heart in a willow tree
The branches give rise to the lowest leaves
Find shelter and shade in my arms

Once I am gone don't mourn for me
I hope you take pride in what I used to be
Let go of all your pain

Will you remember me when I'm gone?
Or will you forget all that I've done?

I've made mistakes that I can't take back
I'm just a man both good and bad
Can you forgive all my wrongs?

Will you remember me when I'm gone?
And can you forgive all my wrongs?

Memories may fade but what we create may stay
Time holds the key of fate
Only time can reveal the gate

Will you remember me when I'm gone?
Or will you forget all that I've done?

Memories may fade but what we create may stay
Time holds the key of fate
Only time can reveal the gate”
