This version would be good in the Punisher or Walking Dead
Amen!
you aint no love drama in your lifee ...
Or the peaky blinders
best comment TWD for sure
Bro the second season ending of the punisher would fit this perfect.
Hitting a little different now, that Bill Withers has passed on
No sunshine when he's gone
absolutely!..:/
Rip
Rest in peace to a blues legend.
But lives on forever in our hearts Minds and Brilliant memories of music.
There two types of people in the world: those who love this song, and those who've never heard of it.
-this applies to any of this man's songs, really. Such a shame he's not that known, you either like it or love it, no other option.
Lol. RIGHT!? Ha! Love that! 😉😁👍👏 No DOUBT!
@@comfortablynumb7265 reminds me of Jakal Sun Shining Down on me.
IKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKIKR?!?
No guys this specific song. And I agree.
I'm always impressed by some peoples' ability to make relatively small changes and hugely impact something. This take on the song is so good.
Amen
I'm old enough to remember when the original version of this song was released. This rendition by Mr. James is soulful and simply terrific. I'm sure Mr. Withers would agree!
Amen to that!! 😉 Ha!
Yes I agree
Perfectly put💞
100% agree
i miss (as a singer) hearing the "I know, I know, I know,...." that's a great syncopated part of the song! It's late, I'm tired, I will listen again, maybe I missed it. However, I love this rendition thank you!
Not even lying all it took was the words " ain't no sunshine when she's gone" and I'm subbed. What an amazing voice
Same here man
same here!
Haha same man, you know the good shit when you hear it.
I agree, Chris...he's got that necessary soul voice!
I hope everyone knows that is a cover rt? He does slay it, but it's almost exact replica just with his personal twist!! Regardless I'm sold on this guy's talent!!
Damn... I'm not typically a fan of covers, but this one nails the feeling. Very well done.
Same here, there's no denying the talent & feels on this one.
What a damned cover . Going straight to the deepest of flesh.

I old blues player from baton rouge told me a long time ago that you can't play blues if you've never lived it. Brother I feel you. Great job.
Dude, you rock!
Love when i stumble into greatness
If you have not seen Shawn live.... you are missing out big time. This man has the largest in person voice I've ever heard and is my wife's favorite, double win!
JJ from Kaleo has a more powerful voice.😌 Shawn is my second.
after 45 seconds into the song i found this comment and at this moment it happnd to me too XD
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him busk back at my university and meet him on a few occasions. Never forgot my name, always welcoming. Great man and great gift.
I'm speechless...covered in goosebumps! Bluesy and hauntingly powerful! His voice will forever follow me!
If the artist makes the song his own there is nothing wrong with a cover. But if they trying to do it the same as the original artist it usually just lacks cus the original is so imbedded in our soul .
When his voice gets all gravelly and he sings "Oughtta leave the young thing alone, but ain't no sunshine when she's gone"...i got chills, i FELT that. Love this cover so much 😍
Same
Rebecca Grantham growls. And indeed
Gravel ly. There's a good adjective for the blues!
Exactly goosebumps head to toe
Hopefully people can make it a trend to put time stamps of what they’re talking about. lol.
Barely ever felt so much when listening to a song. What a find. My day is complete now. Thank you. 🙏🏼
You should listen to his song Flow. 🤌
His voice is even more beautiful live! And such a good bloke!
His Gaslight session version is so much better! Check it out
This artist can make the dead and buried beg for life… that second chance rising. Amen my brother
Strong believer in rap and hip hop but Shawn James turned me on to another world. I feel you in my soul
Don’t limit yourself man! Every tune is worth a listen. Never know what you’ll find when you dig real deep!
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know,
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
THANKS
TheGirlOfCurls Tanks dude !
Thx dude.
Is it just me or does his his voice have like a dark ages feel?
I agree his voice just draws me in
Not sure what you mean. I find it hard to dig dark age from music style that was developed in late 1800s.
Try the Blues, Jazz, Folk, Soul or Gospel or any other "Roots music".
YESSSSSSSSS
I get more of a 30's great depression feel from it. Dark ages was more gregorian chanting if any music at all.
For me this song describes how it feels when my daughter is gone for months at a time. No word if she is okay until she shows up again. She is manic and bipolar, so it is difficult at best to lock the door each night. This song is my expression of this feeling. Your cover of this song is amazing. Your voice, your passion , the instruments you play , all just come together so well and it is such a joy to get to share that brief moment in a day to listen to this and it helps me get through until the next day and so on. Maybe one day she will be in a different place in life and I wont need this song anymore until then , thank you .
@@williamgrey7422 Thank you so much I appreciate that. Hope she is safe where she is and for her to know i love her so very much. Thanks again
I wish nothing but the best and peace for you guys and your girls ❤💗
Just thought of a thought for the day maybe calling her a maniac and bi polar is part of why she stays away. She’s her and it doesn’t come with extra reasons to make her feel any less (that I’m sure at times she might feel already ) maybe instead of labeling something that she just must have bc u feel something is wrong with her u could simply see all the beauty she possesses and things she does right bc if she’s anything like me (and I get labeled ) (alottttt) she might be doing so much right that it’s hard to not notice her but bc it’s with the wrong people bc she can’t be around the right ones to do it bc it’s too painful to love people so much and all they do is see nothing but negatives and constantly make that the center of all communication and why it’s only negative because it’s not really understandable by some but doesn’t mean it’s negative or wrong and are u truly honest with yourself in the mirror bc we all are perfectly flawed and not even one of us has right to judge someone else’s life especially when you haven’t endured their steps to what they have seen and endured and are still here. (SMILING) I hope!!!!!!!!!
The big picture is very seeable if your willing to hold it and look at it with all aspects and all sides from every view and u will get a better understanding of life period. Not minuets just moments. We each choose how we spend them remember that. We chose to be mad or hurt or happy and cheerful. All my love for the best outcome
Correction manic not maniac. While your words intention is sage advice they are harsh. You need to practice what you preach and practice compassion. You dont know how they treat their daughter all you know is the laundry they aired in the post. We all need a place to vent. But I get what you are saying. My mom was bipolar and suffered from alcoholism. She is gone now, bless her soul, but I wish I could go back and practice the understanding and compassion she deserved. This person has found solace in a song and simply explaining why it is important to them and you dumped on them. Shame on you!
@@kellsfrancis4136 Here's a thought. All your psycho babble and word-stringing are hollow, cold, meaningless and empty. The OP was expressing how the lyrics to this amazing song resonate with his/her deep and horrible sorrow regarding their lost child.
Consider that perhaps, rather than you "triggering" on the OP's use of descriptors,... a TRULY decent and compassionate human might have offered words of solace, comfort, hope, encouragement?
Oh,... sorry,... that's right. It's all about you, isn't it?🙄
I wish this song was longer so I didn't have to restart it so often
Give this man Publicity!! These Voices should be known to the world!!!!!
[LYRICS]
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
I wonder if she's gonna stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house it ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know I know
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house it ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Beitifull. Magnific !🎀🎵🎈
Sağol kankam

Oh yeah! Bill would be darn proud of that cover!
And im still here in 2021. Justice given to a timeless classic 🙌🏽🔥❤️
Holy crap this man has a voice like no other
"Ain't No Sunshine"
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know
Hey, I oughtta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness every day
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
😢
😢😢
Awesome
Man!!!... the way this man sung this song did something to my soul....thank you I needed that
My sister just turned me on to this guy tonight. For about 25 years now, I've been saying no one ever did this song justice, besides Bill Withers. This made me literally projectile cry. Amazing. Love this.😍😍😍
I love the way he sings "when she's gone"
This guy has a hell of a voice
After 5 years, this is still the best Bill Withers cover of this song that's out there. Amazing work.
Кто написал эту песню? И кто её первый исполнил?
Мне больше всего нравится Майкл джексон.
@@sport1234 Are you serious you fucking idiot?
This is some of the best music. No cusses no drugs and nothing bad just BEAUTIFUL music!
You are doing a great honor to the memory of Bill Withers. Thanks.
Check out the version Hanson does , it's equally great 👍 ua-cam.com/video/tl5yPcSnM-E/v-deo.html
I feel like I could cover an entire fucking epic movie with just the songs he has done...
Nice darkside, if you haven't already, check out Shawn James // American Hearts // A.A. Bondy Wolf Sanctuary, let me know if you like:)
@@yusufbakaroglu6969 shut your good damn mouth you sack of spare pare parts.
I could hear these in a movie as well! Brilliant idea. Soundtrack.
This dude can shred those vocals. I’m a metal head but damn bro!! Keep it up.
Feeling this for real. Thank you for this arrangement.
God DAMN HIS VOICE IS SO GOOD
WOW... best version I've heard so far.
Incredible voice, incredible talent!
You know music hits when you heard a song years ago and spend three hours trying to figure out who was this guy and then you find him and subscribe so you never lose it again.
Tough song to cover.... You killed it! 👍👏
👏
Malaysia love this song
Could'nt say it better
Absolutely
Great singer, but I prefer the original melody of the song.. why did he change it?
You're such an amazing artist, I'm glad Naughty Dog introduced me to you ^^
Mortified Potato great song good rhythm
Right. Not only do they make great games, they also introduced me to my favorite artist. Like God damn naughty dog, get outta my head. Lol
Best
Tone and vibrato on spot, perfect grit/clarity ratio. Seriously the most comforting voice I think I've ever heard.
This has got to be my favorite cover of this song.
Warning: Once hearing this version returning to the original may prove difficult.
Henry Medrano yeh i cant go back now haha this is amazing
Na man, this version is amazing but Bill Withers is one of the best and most underrated musician/singer/songwriters to ever grace the musical world. You're entitled to your own opinion though 😏
Henry Medrano not at all
The original hits all the right tones. This one is sang in a very generic and boring manner
Wow I definitely would not say Shawn James is a 'generic' singer...
Henry Medrano you should check out Lost Brand's rock version tho
AMAZING!!
Heartfelt.
Good god!
I felt that in my soul. Amazing God Bless.
It is astounding, but rare, that one voice and one instrument, unadulterated, can make music like this.
Beautifully done sir.
Bill Withers is one of my favorites
Soullllllll!.......Thankyou so much for this version....spine chilling!!
His voice is just amazing!! 💕🎵
Honestly, what a voice!
I got chills from listening to this. Amazing job
Love his voice! Great styling and fine guitar as well!
Sounds perfect! Every pitch!
Absolutely incredible cover to a classic. Thank you 🙏
WOW.
I have horrible insomnia so I caught myself clicking on UA-cam videos. Guess I won't be going to sleep anytime soon.
I'm up now!!
MIFNP to much ☀️🤟
Same
Fantastic brother. This here is geting me through the nights without my daughter. 10 fregin stars. Keeping me away from the bottle.
You CAN do it. I loved my scotch. 10/4 was 32 years, no booze. You CAN do this.
Every song straight to my soul. Forever and always a fan Shawn. Your talent is a blessing to us all. 🖤🤲🏽
I’ve heard this song in so many forms. The original classic, the driving and slightly dark sounding “Me First and the Gimme Gimme’s” version. This one however is dark, powerful and dripping with soul. Shawn can take a song about sorrow and make you feel the loss and pain of the writer. It’s Outstanding!
I imagine if my life was a show his covers being the background music during the darkest moments in my life.
I love the song , the singer and the colour of his voice.
Bravo !
God I love Shawn's voice, this was dope
One of the all time great songs done so beautifully!
You're a fucking legend, mate.
Keep up the great work!
Shawn what an incredible voice you have!! Amazing voice and amazing song!!
Thank you for doing this song justice!! Your voice is amazing!!
My favorite song of all time, he did it justice, bravo!
Love to hear him do Amazing Grace ..... his voice is spiritual!
Brought me to tears. This hits a part of my soul
This song is so amazing and Shawn nailed it
Loving all these covers of this song
I absolutely loved this rendition....a unique and powerful voice x
You sing from your heart and soul! Beautiful. I could listen to you all day. keep on doing what you do. much peace AnD love
Beautiful cover of a classic, well done sir.
One of my favorite songs...Great Cover!
This is a sum of the reasons of why I love Shawn James.
Best cover of this song I have ever heard. Hands down.
Love the cover!!!!! So much soul coming through!!!!!!
One of the best covers of this classic Ive heard and Ive heard many. The beauty of this song is that theres not one single identical intepretation out there. Something about the song itself. Absolutely great interpretation.
all the sounds are perfectly balanced, amazing
This gets down deep in my soul and your voice hits it and just sends chills. I listen to you sing this song over and over. It has opened me up to your other songs and I'm a life long fan!! You cover this song like no one else.
OK beautiful song by my best music player.. I did not understand the expression Ai'nt no.. In French not exit. But now it's OK. It is easy. Thanks Withers and Shawn James for the English lesson.. And a great moment of piece.. Xo h
Blown away! Good chills! ❤❤❤❤
This man's soul he puts into his songs are amazing..love his covers an his own songs
RIP Billy... thank you for the joy you brought into my life with your wonderful songs. ❤️🌿❤️🌿❤️
A voice like pure silk... You have a true gift to share with the world...
it's amazing what a little bit of reverb can bring to a mix. so much more depth and feeling. just amazing.
This cover has to be in a movie, a trailer, video game or whatever, just to have even more chills, this is amazing and what an amazing voice!👌
OMG Just found this & I am sooo in love with his voice ❤
My son played this song and I am in love. The soul in his voice is Amazing.
Flipping beautiful!!!
what the hell i am hearing! one of the most incredible human voices i've ever heard, great!
Just hearing his voice makes me regret giving up preforming. Omfg the feels
Not cried in 10 years but this brought it out.
Absolutely sublime
One of the BEST re-makes I have ever heard! ❤❤❤
This is beautiful. I've just become a huge fan.
when every Shawn's performance makes you think 'holy shit this is awesome'
so happy to remember who you are just by your name, love your voice
TOP SHELF SIR!!! Felt all of it!
