First version: normal
Gaslight session: angry
This: depressed
Oh shit, is this some kind of foreshadowing for the next TLOU Game?
First game was: Normal (Survival apocaliptic horror which suits the first song)
This game is based on: Revenge (AKA Anger)
Next game: (Depression?)
Your so right 🤔🔥
@@Anomanolis oh yea it's big brain time
@@Anomanolis dude, this is not about a game, stop creating theories
Bro, is the same thing i said in the last video jajaja
I like how every version of his own songs is different.
I kinda find that annoying. Lol. My head is so used to one of the versions that this feels wrong 😂
@@salmanal-tamimi337 Yeah, I prefer the album version. It sounds more... angry. And I'm kinda feelin' that right now.
Evita so true
I didn't notice that before, but it makes me want to think he's singing the question: "you want to know I have these scars?" No Joker reference intended.
Truly Masterful. Our Sensei did yet another different version of this song. (*❛‿❛)→ua-cam.com/video/MLzGWS879PM/v-deo.html
thank you Ellie for letting me discover this wonderful song
indeed
Same
They have to put this in the HBO-show, they just have to!
He is a wonderful musician! I hope he makes a cameo in season 2
I hope they put the original into the HBO-show. Not this Gus Johnson "girls with ukeleles" version into it.
@@IntegrityGames The one used in the game is sung by Ashley Johnson aka Ellie. You know, the main character. Should use that version.
@@ScharfeZungel this is the comment i needed to see! he def needs to be there! :)
Agreed
"What are you doing kiddo?"
"Are you really gonna go through with this?"
@Shikamaru Nara I guess not
Sad to know the truth now
“You think i’d let you do this on your own”
@SpokenTurtleBack lol
It doesn't matter if The Last of Us 2 is good or bad. it brought me to this song and I'm grateful for that
I'm pretty positive naughty dog wouldn't let us down as they've shown us in the past, it's impossible for them to mess up such an amazingly hyped sequel, excpet if they're on a deathwish😂
@daniel scott I've just finished mine, It's such a good game
Same
Stfu the last of us 2 isn’t gonna be bad!
Guys every single youtuber loves the game and they really can't wait to send out the full review
2:49...that entire growl sequence...FUCKING CHILLS.
Earned a whole new fan.
Never heard such a raspy, yet on tone growl in my life, and I'm 30 and have been deep into music as a hobby since I was a kid. Reminded me of a classic jazz musician, combined with grunge, combined with Brent Smith.
Just blown away by that. Was playing a game and listening in the the background, and has to pause to play it back a few times. That sequence was amazing.
Trying to learn to sing and play this now. Only responding, as I felt humbled by your like, and wanted to let you know this wasnt an off-comment. I've made this part of my 'songs I need to learn to play / sing' list.
My gf and I often have singing nights, and this often comes up as my main now.
Wish me luck! Loving your stuff.
It's that cocker rasp
Joe Cocker... for those that thought that an insult lmao
I'm fully with that mate, how good is that bit, the whole song really but especially that bit. 👍
Reminds me of Tom Waits.
Definitely not a bad thing, just making a note.
This is the ultimate survivors guilt song. Flawless, brother.
The song that started it all for so many, the Shawn James rabbit hole
For me, it was Flow.
That's Life
Mine was Number of the Beast.
Mine was The Curse of the Fold. A rabbit hole indeed, but I love it here :)
for me was The Curse of the Fold. Glad to be here in this rabbit hole with all of you friends! :)
i remember when this man only had less tan 5000 followers, now hes an artist, a great one, im super excited!!!!
we have Naughty Dog to thank for that a lot too
Totally, I hunted this song down as soon as the last of us 2 trailer released, just the tinny performance in a cafe or something. Love the song flow as well
The followers don't define you as an artist!!!
still desserves wayyy more recognition for sureeeeeee
Dafiro Rodifa i know, im just saying that hes finally getting more recognition and getting more popular, just as his talent deserves :)
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all
And my mind and my gun they comfort me
Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell on this earth forevermore
Said, I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong
Well, I came upon a man at the top of a hill
Called himself the savior of the human race
Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain
But I said, "How can you save the world from itself?"
'Cause I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind
Oh, and I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
But I know when I die my soul is damned
Now I know when I die my soul is damned
Now I know when I die my soul is damned
Thank you for those lyrics
Not Merciful. Sad he wrote that in this Song.....The Lord Is My Shephard....🙏🏿......Lord Have Mercy. I am Praying for this Young Man....He Needs Healing, Understanding, andTheraphy.
He Needs Theraphy. I Pray for this Young Man 💙🙏🏾💙. ''The Lord is My Shephard'' Amen✨❣ Did he Actually write 'Gun' in the Composition of Bitterness and Indifference ⁉ He Did. Oh My Sweet Merciful Lord Jesus❣‼
Thanks :)
Your a real one for this
The lyrics of the song really fits to how Ellie must see the world and herself. Naughty dog puts so much afford in so many details it's amazing.
Glad this song got picked!
It's a crime he's not known worldwide.
he's now
Agora ele é
I was thinking the same
he is actually
I am from Morocco and I think his art is magnificent!
Endure and Survive
I’m glad Through the Valley will finally get a music video because it’s my favorite song
same here
cogitoergo wow so funny
cogitoergo so you get pleasure out of ruining things for others? I don’t understand that, you do realize getting pleasure out of others misery is like a mental illness thing right?
Axel Alvarado huh what did they do ?
Jackson Sanders the guy I replied to tried spoiling the game. Looks like they deleted their comment
When he hits the guttoral, soulful bridge at 2:53, my body had straight chills from the base of my spine to the back of my neck.
As someone who's been a huge Shawn James fan for a few years now, it makes me super happy to see so many people introduced to his fantastic music, regardless of what brought them here.
I've never played The Last Of Us Part I or II, but I've heard mostly great things about it.
I do know this song kicks ass!
Great song for sure. Amazing voice. So distinctive. Both games are top drawer. My number 1 campaigns so far and can be played back to back and as one which is what I’d suggest. You don’t have to be huge into video games the story is amazing enough all by itself to warrant a play through.
Yes they are all missing out on a talented musician. I agree I've been listening to him for years
Please, if you ever have the chance, play them. I guarantee you will never play a story like that ever again
Second game was trash the first one was Ight they ruined the ending
Second game was woke central
"If somehow the lord gave me a second chance at that moment.. I would do it all over again"
lord*
“If somehow the Lord.....”*
Khang Do Sorry bois, i changed it.
😭
They did him dirty
send a hug to Brazil you have big fans here
Is real, we love you 💚
💖
Brasillllll porra, aqui não é o brasileiro que pega coronavirus, é o corona que pega brasileiro
😎👌🏻 pai tá de celta
Yes ♡
I’m here because of our beloved inquisitor ghost, Vincent… when I hear this song, I hear his voice… rest in heaven Vincent… we will love you for eternity 🤍🕊️
I'm here for the same reason, I'll learn this song on guitar to play it for him 💗
what is an inquisitor ghost?
@@TheBigKaijuhe was a tiktok call of duty content creator
Ellie brought me here. Sounds way better than i expected! Gives me chills!
Naughty Dog has a good taste in music
@Jasonb373 nah they writing is good
This type of music is called dark country right
Definitely true
@Jasonb373 a bit of it is metaphoric and is really deep. It’s good writing.
@Jasonb373 maybe not everyone looked at it as just a revenge story and actually tried to delve into the depth of the game, just maybe.
Without a doubt, this song made this game more desirable. "The Last of Us" would not be the same without this song. Congratulations on your work, your career ... I'm your fan. I hope to see you here in Brazil.
As a guy who mostly listens to trap music … it’s extremely refreshing hearing good music from other genre of music outside my culture … definitely loving this
Im still listening to this Masterpiece in 2024 ❤
AAAHHH YESSS CANT WAIT!!!
TLOU is more than a game. It touches my soul with its everything.Atmosphere,music,story,characters
This song is trully a masterpice and you can't change my mind.
I wont even try to change it bcs you are goddamn right
LYRICS:
I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all
And my mind and my gun they comfort me
Because I know I'll kill my enemies when they come
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell on this earth forever more
Said, I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
But I can't walk on the path of the right because I'm wrong
Well I came upon a man at the top of a hill
Called himself the savior of the human race
Said he come to save the world from destruction and pain
But I said, "How can you save the world from itself?"
Because I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
And I fear no evil because I'm blind
Oh, and I walk beside the still waters and they restore my soul
But I know when I die my soul is damned
The lyrics is stunning ♥️
Dont worry about lyrics man, everyone already memorized this masterpiece
Thank you🖤
thank you man
Love it ❤️
His voice is just beautiful and this song is heart-wrenching.
Absolutely love listening to the song I play it on repeat so many times bless the songs you play they are good
I am here as an inquisitor, may he rest in peace, he knew how to play this song with every feeling, I am sure that in his last moments he remembered his moments With his guitar, may the inquisitor rest in peace. You will always be in me💗
Someone who knows 🕊️🫶🏻
rip inquisitor may the force be with him
Fly high inquisitor.. He was such a kind and caring soul. He will never be forgotten 🫶❤
? did he pass?
@@JR-mq3bn yup
If only Ashley Johnson did a duet with Shawn James, how amazing would that be? :O
YES!
YESYESYESYESYESYESYES
ua-cam.com/video/jltDgHPZ7UI/v-deo.html here ya go m8, just skip to the 1:22 of the video
As far as i know, Ashley johnson didn't sing the musics, it would be the brazilian dub (who i think did it), and yes, it would be awesome!
Your pfp will be our reaction
Finding you was like finding a gold mine for real James
Join the club

never gets old, never loses its touch. His covers, his songs are just beyond the time. Shawn James is one of the most underrated musician. 💪💪
I was just casually wanting to cover ellie's version and was studying it, when I thought: "why not hear the original?" and wow.... the GROWLS. I tell you I never went to spotify so fast in my life to create a playlist

“I walk through the valley of the shadow of death” I’ve been there I know and feel this song to my soul. 🙏
Nossa que voz e essa mexeu com minha alma . Ate lágrimas saiu dos olhos. Que coisa mais linda bjinhos do Brasil.
amen irmão
This man is something else, like nothing I've ever heard in my life. His voice is so malleable and changable. That vibrato is something of legends... And his softer tones are just.... Idk but its amazing. Shawn James ladies and gentlemen a legend in the making, right before our eyes. You can't label his style, he doesnt have one... Real music, powerful music, life changing and saving music. This man is truly one of a kind.
LETRA EM PORTUGUÊS
Eu caminho através do vale da sombra da morte
E não temerei mal algum, pois sou cego para tudo isso
Minha mente e minha arma me consolam
Porque eu sei que vou matar meus inimigos quando eles vierem
Certamente que a bondade e a misericórdia irão me acompanhar todos os dias da minha vida
E eu habitarei esta terra eternamente
Eu caminho junto às águas tranquilas e elas restauram a minha alma
Mas eu não posso andar no caminho do certo, pois eu sou errado
Bem deparei-me com um homem no topo de uma colina
Ele chama a si mesmo de o salvador da raça humana
Disse que veio para salvar o mundo da destruição e dor
Mas eu disse: Como você pode salvar o mundo de si mesmo?
Porque eu caminho através do vale da sombra morte
E não temerei mal algum, porque eu sou cego
Eu caminho junto das águas e elas restauram a minha alma
Mas eu sei que quando eu morrer minha alma será condenada
valeu meu parceiro
Ai sim.
Brabo
Só a galera fã do The Last of Us
the voicest voice of all voices!!
Thanks for coming to Dublin Shawn!!!!! You and the boys were fantastic, and Sage was absolutely amazing too
You can’t stop this.
BRASIL EM PESO AQUI 🇧🇷
I can listen to this a thousand plus times, and I'm still loving every moment of it.
This man's voice sounds like how warm sunshine feels
2:51 holy shit!! This caught me off guard. Fckn impressive.
Que coisa maravilhosa, essa musica é uma obra prima! This song's strenght is absolutely mind blowing, a masterpiece that is even greater by Shawn's performance
Vejo que você é um homem de cultura também! I see that you are a man of culture too!
Pessoas com bom gosto hmm
Finalmente alguém que tenha um bom gosto
There's something about this man's voice that just takes control of my mind and all I can do is listen
Been a rough day, have come for some of this music that soothes my soul.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷QUE HOMEM! QUE VOZ! E QUE MÚSICA! O BRASIL TE AMA SHAWN JAMES. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
3 versions :
the first: before you play the game;
the 2nd : while you're playing the game;
the 3rd: after you finish playing the game.
Yup.
What game?
@@WenderPottery The Last Of Us Part 2, the masterpiece.
@@WenderPottery but i suggest that you play the last of us first (if you haven't) then the last of us 2.
@@dewanshudewangan6068 Masterpiece? More like shitpiece
Been bring here out of f*cking nowhere with a UA-cam mix. Never gonna leave. That voice, damn... Chills still there.
The last part, yooooo 😳
🔥🔥🔥
I can only hear in my mind: "I am gonna kill every last one of them" tlous2
"I'm gonna kill every last one of them"
I'm gonna find, and I'm gonna kill every last one of them*** xd
I still can’t believe the game comes out in a fortnight. Time really does fly doesn’t it?
amm unna keel erry last one of em

@@Blu_____ yup :(
Yazoo Dragon but not that bad though
Shame the story wasn't as good as this song
we here😊😁
🏌️♀️
Beautiful song. Saddens my heart though. That savior, Jesus, is ready to take those heavy things away. Just let him. Peace and love to you all 🙏
But all too many churches do more harm than good. But i have felt God in every church i have been to. You just have to listen more for the spirits voice & not listen to people sometimes!
I bet Jesus would love this music out of this reborn heart
Between Shawn James and that deep soul and the DeadSouth boys- let the ryme find the rythym and be elevated man!
Was expecting this song the whole game. Bummer Ellie didn't sing it, but hey, Take on Me... absolutely welcomed surprise
Did you watch her sing it in the trailer it’s not really the same but it’s still really good
but you can play it yourself when practice on the guitar
greenapplepear i proposed the idea before that it should’ve been an optional cutscene maybe, like the take on me one, and she sits to play guitar and plays through the valley.. Joel walks through the door and says “what’re you doing kiddo? You really gonna go through with this?” and we cut to a flashback where Joel is looking through a doorway and sees younger Ellie sat with a guitar before going on her first solo patrol or something like that, and we get a short cutscene of them talking and it ends on a real sweet moment where Joel asks what she’s been playing so she starts strumming through the valley, and when she finishes the song we cut back to present day with her holding the guitar and she looks up at the doorway to see no one there but the guitar makes her think of that memory with Joel and she says “I’m gonna find and I’m gonna kill every last one of them” as if Joel was there to hear it. And then continue on with the game
At the start, she’s listening to the song on her headphones, right before Joel gives her the guitar
@@erin6818 Indeed
People weren't ready for this game. But i'm glad this game was created.
This will be my song for this year
Yeah me too :)
Truly
,, 8 с краю наших нет
They were ready for this game...they just weren't ready for how bad ND would fuck up the execution of the entire thing
@@shubloke_far_throwki5346 give an example what was fucked up in this game
I like how Shawn James is still keeping up with the comments. If you read this, you were awesome at the cobra lounge in Chicago. Easily one of the most personal and amazing concerts I've ever been to 👍
Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦♥️
Shawn James is such a kind man, hard worker, and he deserves all the praise he gets. Truly a sorrowful song in the best of ways. His voice is so original.
Essa música é incrível! Conheci Shawn James por ela.
X2 xz
Vi aquele primeiro trailer de The Last of Us 2 com a Ellie tocando o violao e fui atras do responsavel e aqui estamos vendo outra bela versão
@@rensjesse tbm mano kkk. Se tornou a melhor música pra mim kkkk

Primeira vez que ouvi o som original. E arrepia a alma.
God his voice gave me chills!!! I never clicked the subscribe button so quick!
I am a music lover you need to check out suicide sheep and chill beats they put all the new folk and indie on to youtube
yezzi ble t7innnn
His voice is everything
I've never been more moved by or had a more personal relationship with a piece of art than with Through the Valley. I mourned the loss of someone dear to me with this incredibly beautiful song and the lines, the melody will forever be associated with the warm thoughts of my beloved one. Lots of love.
Joel Miller. Redemption. At least the version some of us agree on. Rip the greatest fictional character ever. And Shawn… your a legend. Monumental . Thank you. Standing FUCKING ovation
Waauw what a voice🎉🎉🎉🎉
I'm so glad he's getting the attention he deserves, he is a tooo good artist to be unseen. Every song is like art, the albums are a whole museum or like a journey "through the valley" of emotions
Endure and Survive, thanks Shawn for bringing such a great art to this world. : )
Stay safe, you, your family and Peg the pug
For some reason when I hear this song I think of my grandfather who passed away miss you abu I promise we will meet in the valley again
This song makes me want to throw my guitar in the truck & find an old dirt road to adventure down ,🖤 beautiful, love your voice, especially at the end!
Es un crack shawn james!!
Coño, alguien que habla español!! La primera vez que veo a un español en los comentarios!😂✌
vamos nomassss!! argentina por acá🇦🇷
Por fin alguien que habla en español, vamoooos
Difícil encontrar alguien que le guste Shawn james , 😔👌
@@Cabs02 tanto tiempo buscando y encontre más latinos,ya se me estaba haciendo dificil comentar en inglés.
Caraí tem muito BR por aqui não esperava por isso kkk aparentemente the last of us 2 vai trazer muita gente a conhecer esse cara incrível
Né os BR dominaram a live kkk
Tá chegando dia 19 haha... Tlou ta levando uma galera pro New order também kkk - True Faith
Porra o cara no era ngm antes desse som agora ele vai explodir ainda mais no Br hehe
Não tenha dúvida
This song doesn’t get the justice it deserves,is crazy🤧😭❤
Cant lie. Not word. But the first sound out of this guys mouth. Gave me goosebumps and made me feel alll the emotion in his voice.
Last of us part 2: As I walk through the valley. The valley being Seattle. Of the shadow of death. Death lingering behind every corner of Seattle. I fear no evil because I'm blind to it all. Ellie's pursuit for vengeance blinds her from fear and consequence. The entire story is really just a reflection of the song, revealing Ellies reality and mentality.In my mind and my gun I find comfort because i know that they'll kill my enemies. Unable to walk on the path of the right because unfortunately all that Ellie does in the game is wrong and she isnt the good guy nor is she the bad guy. There is no such thing as either just people wanting what feels right for them.
Beautiful 👏🏾
i wish this song was in the game.
@@thedreamcapture2681 It was, in the beginning in the prologue when Joel enters Ellies house she is listening to this song on her headphones.Listen closely.
What part of the song reflects the other half of the game as roided up Abby?
@@alcovitch I personally know a woman that is bigger than Abby and she is most definitely not on steroids. She lived in a military community where she was well-fed and had access to a big gym. It baffles me how obsessed everyone is with her muscles when Gears of War exists where everyone is MOST DEFINITELY not realistically modeled, even on steroids that game's characters are fake as hell and no one bats an eye.
Everybody gangsta till the 2nd chorus comes and Shawn just makes you feel that inner Rage.
I enjoy your voice so much, especially in these dark days, you'll never know the peace and will to stand up you give me. Thank you, your musical talent is greatly appreciated.
Tenho tanto orgulho de saber tocar essa música 💖

@@kikrinman1450 funny you said that because every person that hated the leaks was a transphobic scum. says a lot about you
@@skeletoninyourbody9896 that's a pretty bold ignorant assumption on your part. I love how you label anyone who doesn't like the outcome of the game a bigot or some kind of phobe simply because they don't agree with the direction of the narrative not to mention the agenda behind it.
@@kikrinman1450 Neil Druckmann today said that most of the leaks are fake, so you already judged the game on nothing, think about it.
Well, dare I say, this song never get tired.
Que linda música!! Shawn james é o melhor! Uma das minha favoritas é brother✨🖤
The last of Us!!!! \o/
Finalmente carai !!
Isso é música de verdade ,uma pessoa q confia na sua voz e talento
Someone in 2021, listening This massive song from Shawn's song that moves your heart and adrenaline and nostalgia for the game The Last of us part 2...🙌🔥
We all know that this video is gonna be such a piece of art :3
