Richie Kotzen - The Shadow Lyrics






Shadows are livin'
I know who they are
Don't tell me I'm crazy because I'm too far
Shadows I live with
They watch when I fall
And no one can stop me from what I believe

Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel...
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything
Haunting in my heart until I die...
Wasting my time just trying to be

My friends have no faces just voices
Somehow they help me when I'm lost in my life
And give me the strength to get out of it

Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel...
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything
Haunting in my heart until I die...

Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel...
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything
Haunting in my heart until I die...

Richie Kotzen The Shadow Comments
  1. S.... M....

    As he gets older the guitar playing and the voice get better. Like a fine wine.

  2. A.... I....

    AMAZING GUITARIST, AMAZING VOICE! 🎶🎸

  3. S.... M....

    This is music.

  4. E.... S....

    La mejor voz y una gran guitarra . El y Bonamassa los mejores en la actualidad

  5. B.... R....

    I saw his show in Barcelona this year (2019): Richie you are a genious. When guitar heroes started to blossom he was already there doing amazing things. He has one of the best voices ever in the rock scenario (comparable with Cornell's with all my respects, RIP ) and of course, he is an AMAZING guitarist (even using your fingers on the right hand!): in this sense he's not only underrated, I would compare him with Hendrix or SR Vaughan. And last but not least: besides all that you are handsome! (I HATE YOU MAN!) Keep doing what you do best, Richie. And he's getting better and better every record! Please, come again to Barcelona son alone or with the Winery Dogs. I will pay you a beer or two :-)

  6. E.... S....

    Este tipo es un grande

  18. p.... h....

    When you think of all the fucking shit musicians out there who get recognition and a following and a clever clever talented guy like this is relatively unknown in the grand scheme of things it just isn't right .

  19. C.... A....

    Great band! Great music! great artist!

  20. M.... M....

    who the fuck disliked this ........... they must be deaf !

    M.... M....

    Butthurt Brett Michaels fans.

  21. S.... L....

    Yeah...DUH. He's awesomely unrecognized.

  22. s.... ....

    Sounds Like "Shine"

  23. M.... M....

    AWESOME

  24. C.... ....

  32. R.... P....

    This sons has thrill orther chords, when i heard this album, my cellphone locks on keyboard.

  33. L.... ....

    Sounds like Richie had been reading Carl Jung...

  34. R.... S....

    kotzen is a genius....

  35. f.... ....

    nossa muito boa musica kotzen pena q não seja tão famoso quanto deveria ser no mundo

  36. g.... e....

    I think he"s better than the rest that"s out there by far !!!!!!!!!! My question is WHY in the hell don"t we here more of him in the US ??????????????

  37. V.... D....

    He obviously likes Marshalls :)

  38. W.... G....

    Richie, the genious!!

  39. A.... T....

    Richie is just simply Blessed with Talent

  40. S.... g....

    he inspired me to play major blues.

    S.... g....

    Ditto here bro... ditto here

  41. C.... L....

    that voice melts me so fucking bad everytime I listen to this !

  42. Z.... L....

    Terribly underrated musician

    Z.... L....

    I think Richie is in the spotlight everywhere nowadays. Probably because of The Winery Dogs. Seems to be a household name among a lot of musicians around here at least :) He's obviously not playing on the radio, but no one really listens to radio now anyways. Good times!

    Z.... L....

    He is famous everywhere but America. It is sad that the music played on the radio in the USA is corporate junk with little to no talent, but a musician like RK can't get airplay...

    Z.... L....

    He is right where he wants to be .

    Z.... L....

    I see this comment on just about every music video. Who is doing this so called "rating?"

    Z.... L....

    Guy is basically rich and has been living in holiwood for years. Played for freaking Poison. There is NOTHING underrated about this guy.

  43. B.... S....

    I can´t stop listening!

    B.... S....

    Bruno Saimon me too

  44. T.... ....

    The Shadow (Live Performance Video by Richie Kotzen)

  45. R.... G....

    I listen to  it every day. I like it  and  it is awesome.......

  46. P.... A....

    Master !

  47. F.... .....

    I`ve never had envy for a musician just admiration, but with this guy is both; damn too much talent and rockstar look ... pure musical genius.

  48. V.... ....

    BEST IN THE BUSINESS

  49. N.... M....

    É o cara!!!

  50. S.... C....

    Que letra tan triste y terminal. Me gustaria saber que vivio al momento de escribirla.

    S.... C....

    quizas solo fue un momento de desamor o esta contando una historia ajena en primera persona como suelen hacer muchos al componer ...no creo que alguien como el no haya "conocido el amor " ,puede tener a las mujeres que quiera y una hija hermosa que es su vida .

    S.... C....

    @diego ballatti Tenes razón. Pero llama la atención porque tiene muchas letras que giran sobre el mismo punto bastante depresivo. No creo que sea conciencia. Me inmagino a Richard como un Hank Moody de la musica jaja.

    S.... C....

    jaja puede ser algo de eso ,es una buena y graciosa comparación ...en varias entrevistas conto que dejo de tocar con púa y empezó a usar dedos porque se sentía "frustrado y deprimido" y hasta dijo sentirse un minusvalido musicalmente hablando jajaj ,yo dije WTF??...el típo es un obssesivo perfeccionista y debe tener esas típicas crisis de niño genio sumado al clásico sufrimiento del casanovas insufrible .

  51. L.... W....

    this guy keeps moving up my list of fav guitar players but just calling him a guitar player is just not right;the man has serious talent as a singer and song writer.

  52. J.... M....

    Richie is always amazing, on guitar and vocals - one of the best! And that rhythm section is TIGHT! Excellent bassist!!

  53. D.... C....

    Excellent vocals so clear. Amazing song. Perfect. Way to go Richie.

  54. T.... ....

    Amazing!

  55. L.... R....

    I love this version SO MUCH!

  56. T.... ....

    Brilliant song Mr. Richie K. from PA !
    Pure ♡ and soul 🎶☆🎤~🎸~🎵☆°•
    ....for miles....

  57. L.... J....

    At that time Dylan didn't have an epic beard. Respect beard.

  58. S.... A....

    like Nirvana to me....

  59. N.... A....

    Awesome song!

  60. S.... ....

    One Richies best songs always sends shivers down my neck i never tire of his music he should be a megastar

  61. n.... ....

    Sos el hombre mas perfecto de todo el puto mundo, fin.

    n.... ....

    opino lo mismo, no homo.

  62. D.... J....

    esse cara é demais!

  63. M.... S....

    i feel like it was like this. he always played at a very very very very Jason Becker Micheal Batio level. meaning very very very high. so this sort of thing is easy for him. Also he could always sing pretty well. you can tell in the old Poison videos. I just think he practiced that part up till it was easy and then put them together.

  64. d.... b....

    Love the voice, the guitar, all of it.  Kotzen is the total package. 

  65. V.... b....

    Great song...i love ..thank you Richie !

  66. R.... Y....

    so awesome...i love him! :)

  67. V.... ....

    This is about as real ....  and awesome as it it gets folks! 

  68. V.... C....

    Utterly amazing.

  69. F.... G....

    I love this song. How can he sing that high; so much concentration on singing... and still playing guitar the way he does...

    F.... G....

    Practicing a hell of a lot.

  70. I.... P....

    soooo artistic showing the shadow every time the word appears in the song

  71. T.... ....

    Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine on meeeeee

  72. J.... ....

    Hey Richie why there isn´t an iTunes version of this? My angel and this one sound amazing live. Now put it on iTunes please, and shut up and take my money!!! :D

  73. G.... C....

    Amazing, as always Richie, see you soon on Spain Tour!!!

  74. T.... P....

    He is the boss!

  75. J.... M....

    Cada vez que escucho al Sr. Richie Kotzen , el tema The Shadow , se me pone los pelos como escarpias , este Sr. es TREMENDO Y BUENISIMO.

  76. l.... ....

    Fantastic ♥

  77. C.... ....

    Go Richie! You are the most unrecognized talent of our time! As Todd Rundgren was at one time! Todd Rundgren 's music is timeless!

  78. L.... S....

    No comments yet?? Come on guys!! Richie, keep on rockin´, you´re right up there with the greats. Cheers from Curitiba, Brazil!

    L.... S....

    Cheers from Rio de Janeiro \m/_

  79. l.... ....

    Shine is a song written by Ritchie for Mr.Big and it is also featured on his own album - Change

  80. R.... B....

    Não chega nem aos pés do Kotzen

  81. A.... R....

    you are the man richie! you are music itself! this song sounds awesome and the chorus sounds like a minor version of Shine, another of your amazing songs! Long Live my inspiration!

  82. H.... A....

    Richie is no doubt one of the most talented musicians. He sings , plays : guitar, bass, piano, drums. All the above better than anyone !

  83. m.... ....

    Sweet Telecaster! To people comparing Chris Cornell and Richie,I don't think either of them gives a fuck and I'm sure they've heard the comparison too.They're both talented musicians,singers and songwriters in their own right.

  84. d.... ....

    This song reminds me of Shine by Mr. Big.

  85. C.... B....

    Chris Cornell wishes! Richie Kotzen is the most underrated singer/songwriter/guitarist out there. He's amazingly talented!

  86. J.... M....

    LOL Chris Cornell

  87. M.... C....

    Whew... I'm not the only one with a man crush for the man... good to know
