Shinedown - 45 (Acoustic) Lyrics
Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
And send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
'cause in these times of doing what you're told
So what ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
[Chorus:]
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45
to keep your eyes open for a while
'cause in a box high up on the shelf is left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
That's wrapped in guilt and sealed up tight
So what ever happened to the young man's heart
It's swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
[Chorus:]
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
I'm staring down the barrel of a 45
'cause everyone's pointing their fingers
you're always condemning me
Well, nobody knows what I believe
What I believe
[Chorus:]
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel...
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
And I'm swimming through the ashes of another life
There's no real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a 45, of a 45
I'm staring down the barrel of a 45

ewww new shine down is gay wheres jason todd
❤❤❤
Dear Santa,
please gift me a voice like that.
Thank you.
I don't know how anyone can give a thumbs down on this or any of their videos
It kinda pisses me off that I can't find a version of this song where he delivers it like the recorded version. I know it must be out there somewhere and I know he is capable but he chooses not to and that bugs me because the recorded version is next level. Do it for the fans man.
Quality
So obscure...... Like my .45....
#postmalone
This is okay, but nothing I’ve heard compares this version vocally from 03’...
https://youtu.be/Y_AWUlb352Q
I love you
Brent is so sexy...Godlike voice too.
I have seen them 3 times live and every time is like the first, they are tragically underappreciated.
love the shirt
Michael Bisping and Ed Sheeran, great duo!
I love this song into my bones ❤
From the thumbnail, I thought the singer was Corey Taylor from Stone Sour and Slipknot.
That's passion..
amazing

So good
Oh no... my friend... don’t you try that shit... THANK YOU Shinedown Brothers!
Brent is the best today
the strum at the very start sounds exactly like "paralyzer" by finger eleven
hxiixw cause they both start on an e chord, good ear picking that out though, I wasn’t even paying attention.
@XIII INC. yeah i was like "bro i know that from somewhere" and i had to play the rhythm in my head for paralyzer then remembered the name, it was kinda weird to hear that strum again since its not every day you listen to or hear about paralyzer lol
this is the most fantastic voice, if old mate reads this...please stick at it, youve gotta make it big time! this is absolutely fantastic!
Brent in my opinion such a douche. I remember shine down from the beginning. He’s an arrogant prick that changes band mates like his plastic pussy
I love this song it takes me to a place I used to be and suicide was the only thing I could think of at that time
Phenomenal
This shit sucks
I love this acoustic version so much.
You boys rock! Thanks for keeping not going. Been listening since the beginning. 😎👍🏼👊🏼🤘🏼
Beautiful voice!😎👍🏼🌹
Brent Smith!!
His voice ain't that good anymore.
Yes it is.
@Trinity S. I just don't feel like it is. Yea he still has a good range and hits good notes and all.
This made my day🥰💓
They need Jasin back. This other guitarist sucks. Technical player but no soul.
beautiful
This is just amazing 🖤🖤🖤
I need to see them live again. They were amazing last time i saw them. I was only like 5ft from the stage.
This guy is te new Sammy Hagar. Just better.

not so bad :D
Song of millenial men....
la mejor cancion :3
He's high af 😂
This man’s voice is otherworldly amazing
Goosebumps... Amazing...
Who ya gonna call?
I think his voice got better since he lost weight.
went back too far used to feel it bro
I first heard this song years ago, not long after my 15 year old son killed himself... It hit me real hard & years went by & I couldn't listen to it without crying, it sounded like the words he might have said, if he thought someone would listen... I saw this acoustic version tonight, & wanted to check it out. I love it, & I didn't cry -- I guess we really do heal, with time.
Brent is great ! Excellent vocal technique !
Saw them at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino. Best concert I’ve ever seen.
Great voice !!
This sounds exactly like Nothing Else Matters
Only a millions time better and without Lars Ulrich 😂😂😂
there will never be any music that beats the soul like 45 does
Almost 2020 and I’m still listening to the Gem, Thank You Brent,Thank you Shinedown for this Lovely and amazing Performance,Thank You Brent For Such an amazing Voice,your a Gift from Heaven Broth
Perfect. Very powerfully vocal, like a Brent Smith.
Fucking so underrated!!! Fucking amazing!
When I heard Save Me this band won my heart I will never pass on new music. Or a local concert , love them. their music is my heart and soul.
Wow!!! Thats all I can say...
His one hell of a song writer and singer host not underrated
Nobody has control of there voice the way thos guy does..all i hear is people who cant sing anymore..this guy takes shit serious..ive never heard of him canceling tours..
could someone tell me what tone this song is in?
Hes got such an amazing voice
Luv ya guys, I'm here n I'm doing good, miss my peeps
Brent sounds so dam good my favorite song
Thank you.
Why do artist think its a good idea to change the pacing of a song for acoustic remakes. Did not like this. Butchered their best song.... Good job. Trash remake
Fuckin love this shit
Man it is unreal to see him with short hair, it looks like a whole different person. Awesome performance though.
He totally does!
One of the most beautiful voices out there ❤️
Have seen them live twice and guaranteed 💯% goosebumps!
this was amazing! i sat down closed my eyes and were in another world :) thx
This is my song
Man... i felt that!
Brent Smith so UNDERATED
They way he keeps vowels tall makes me think he is classically trained. Seems like he was in some Choirs or something
Hate to be the odd man out here.... but I really don't like this version of this song... and it's one of my favorite songs.
If this song doesn't give you goosebumps you need to check yourself for pulse !!!! Period.
who would do thumbs down.. wtf??
WOW, best version so far.
Seen Brent Smith in some list of best vocalists of rock, but never have seen them before. Came here, and shit, they were right. He is one hell of a singer, so damn talented.
This version is spectacular. Goosebumps
This was the most amazing version of this song I've ever heard.
Brent Smith, Corey Taylor and Myles Kennedy need to do a song together!
Can we get Jonny Hawkins in this one too?
Add David draiman from disturbed
Such a beautiful voice goosebumps
Words mean a lot
What a superb acoustic song. That voice is exellent. I can relate so much to the lyrics.
not my fav version at all... sounded like a acoustic cover, and theres a lot of covers by youtubers who nailed the shit outta it.. But mad respect...
Love this man voice. Rock on
Taylor Koa ....
Dude your voice is awesome.for a red headed step child?!?!just kidding bro LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
This song was added to one of our playlist really like the singer's voice
I love Brent's voice
Shinedown blows
I don't mean to trash talk but... How come the song is barely 5 chords and the arpegio sounds so "dirty"? Some chords sound like the strings are not pressed correctly.
Nice song tho
Because real music isn't supposed to be perfect
That's cool and all but you should see what I can do with a shoestring, a potato, and a toilet paper roll. Fucking blow your mind
I’m sorry but I just can’t get down with this version. The way he pronounces the lyrics is awful.
