about

“Shine a light I will keep a candle burning for you
Eyes so blue never seen an ocean deeper, an ocean deeper
Dancing flame I will be your shelter in the rain, won’t you
Shine…”

This song is about unashamedly rocking your vibe! Driving guitars reminiscent of the Who, powerful rock vocals melting into a tender, hope filled chorus of support to the countless, nameless refugees fleeing war in Syria amidst a tide of rising nationalism elsewhere.

“i’d been playing with this hypnotic guitar riff I really liked and the “My Way” idea, but it’s when I saw that shocking news photo of a baby face down upon the shore, that the injustice of people being rejected and persecuted even more, found it’s way into my song.” I will never forget you, I felt. I will shine a light for you…in my way. That was and is my sentiment.

lyrics

Shine A Light

Shine a light
My way
My way
I’m gonna shine
My Way

There’s a black branch hanging from a hollow tree
Its leaves of blood a-dripping
Into the cool clear water as it flows
Like tears towards a tipping sea

Been scratching my head wondering in a daze
About the waves a-rising
Seems this city can’t never be clean
Without some realizing (I’m gonna …)

Shine a light
My way
My way
Don’t you know I’m gonna shine
My Way

Shine a light I will keep a candle burning for you
Eyes so blue never seen an ocean deeper, an ocean deeper
Dancing flame I will be your shelter in the rain, won’t you
Shine


Solo
Shine a light I will keep a candle burning for you
Eyes so blue never seen an ocean deeper, an ocean deeper
Dancing flame I will be your shelter in the rain, won’t you
Shine

I feel it in my heart, I feel it in my bones, feel so alive in your ever glow
Feel it in my veins, right down to my toes, hold me tight and don't let go
‘Till the rooster crows the break of day, lets chase the night away
Shine a light shine a light,
Shine a light

My way
My way
Don’t you know I’m gonna shine
My Way
