"Unshaken" – Music from Red Dead Redemption 2 performed live at The Game Awards 2018


The song Unshaken (the second half of this video) is from the 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption 2. Written by singer-songwriter D'Angelo and produced by Daniel Lanois, the words are based on the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda who often stated, "You must stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds," emphasizing remaining fearless and centered in God’s peace despite external chaos.

Featuring Daniel Lanois and Rhiannon Giddens.

Lyrics (Song by D'Angelo)

May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
Did I hear a thunder?
Did I hear you break?
I can't quite remember
Just what guided me this way, oh
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
The pines, they often whisper
They whisper what no tongue can tell
He who drinks from the deep water
May he know the depths of the well
Well
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
Mmm, oh, traveler
What have you seen?
Were there crossroads
Where you been, where you been?
I once was standing tall
Now I feel my back's against the wall
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
The morning light
When it comes to me
It was there but I could not see
Am I to wander
As a wayward son?
Will the hunter be hunted
By the smoking gun?
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
May I stand unshaken
Amid, amidst a crashing world
