Shayfer James - The Long Con (Official Lyric Vid)

Love at the end of the world.

I made this right here in my apartment powered by my love for learning new software and Cabernet.

I vibe with literally every Shayfer James song, but this one hit different

[twistytwine]

This song is super mystical and almost tear-jerking. Honestly? Your voice sounds like it'd belong to one of an all-knowing narrator to a story, one that probably pities the characters he observes and sings songs guiding their lives.

I'm not cool enough to listen to it on spotify first. Instead I wait for the exciting premiere and it makes my friday every time. Thanks Mr. James.

For the second time in a month, I am listening to this song on repeat while a loved one is rushed into emergency surgery. Thank you for capturing something I need.

Such a beautiful piece. I showed this to my wife and we agreed it would have been an awesome 1st dance at our wedding in November. We are going to slow dance to it later for sure. Especially because I always used to tell my wife that my 'evil plan' was to marry her and have children with her.

I can't help but notice this motif throughout these recent music videos, they all seem to end right where they began, visually speaking. It resonates with me because I've recently been thinking about cycles and cyclical existence. Namely, these choices grant the name of the EP is given more significance, "Americanachronism, " a call both to Americanism and anachronism. I feel this EP is critiquing the experience of America, by examining the ways it "breaks" time, not so much by traveling across time but by creating these loops, these cycles that exist outside of time. Cyclical reasoning, cycles of violence and oppression, cyclical paranoia.

Now a question, if you don't mind. What is the first step of your song writing process? Is it lyrics, is it music, a concept that you want to explore? I'm quite curious. Well take it easy, many thanks for creating so much art that has helped to fill my life.

Beautiful imagery. I love the music, but I’m a lyrics gal. It’s rare to find a perfect marriage of lyrical and musical genius. Thank you for sharing yours.

I'm a new fan, but I've spent the last 3 days working my way through listening to your music and god, you do something with your lyrics and music that just hits me EVERY time. The lines "drink with me as the world ends, laugh with me as the sun dies" just evokes such a strong bittersweet/nostalgic emotion it's incredible

[theinherentchaos]

Hello Shayfer James! I love your music *so* much! Every song is cleverly crafted and spun into a sound so beautiful. I listen to your songs on repeat! I also named one of my D&D characters after you!

[helpme]

This is one of those songs that really hits me emotionally, but I'm not quite sure why. Keep it up man!

[drcoolcabbage]

Whenever I listen to this, I can't help but picture two bitter enemies, maybe a hero and villain, facing the end of the world together. One says to the other "Why the rush? Come, sit with me, old friend. Let's share a drink and watch the fireworks together."

[neptiwing]

Yay!! Ive been loving all the songs you've released recently, i can't wait for this one!

[mariz]

Missed the premiere but this is so good man omfg. Cheers to this!

[masqueraid]

The album this sound comes from should get more credit. I love you music and it has helped me get trough the worst part of my life so far. Counter fit arcade, worth the wait, and many other songs of you keep me going. I wish more people would give you a try. Take you for the music you have made and all the effort you put in.

[meloncholymell]

I just recently found you about a month ago. I absolutely love all your songs. I have not heard a song I didn't love. You have a such a way with instruments and your voice creates a melody so overwhelming that I get goosebumps with every one of your songs. Never stop creating masterpieces please.

[j.washington]

Lately ive been obsessed with every song and playing it on repeat, cant wait to add this one to my favorites!! (Aka replaying it over and over again lol)

[smallbridgefilmsco.]

just listened to it on spotify... beautiful 🥺

[Paul-nbum]

I love art that approaches death from a bittersweet perspective. Because death doesn't have to be sad. It's a miracle any of us were even born so anytime we have here is a gift. All you can hope for is to live a fulfilling life with the people you love.

[etakphoenix]

ive just found your music and im already so addicted

[Etsumirsha]

Love it. I saw you live in 2019 and I hope to see you live again once the current world finally ends.
