Music is more than just a hobby for me. I have been playing the violin since I was a teenager, and over the years the instrument has become something personal, almost alive. Over time, I began to take more interest in the quality of strings, the selection of bows, repairs - and that is how I first found myself in the Amundson Violin https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/amundson-violin/customer-service.html store. At first I just bought strings, then came to have them tuned, and now I drop in there regularly.

I was 17yrs old in a dark place and heard this song by chance (over the radio)...a message I desperately needed to hear at the time. It was my north star for years, I am grateful for the impact it had on me.

To the point: I always thought that it was about coming to an understanding that all these definitions which we believe are those that define our life, do not. Our lives are greater than the sum of those things...If our lives were only the worth of those definitions, and the pain they can create, than...

Always difficult to see in the moment...thanks for the reflection:)
This is a song about overcoming past regrets and embracing a brighter future. The "shadow" represents the negative aspects of one's past – mistakes, fears, and insecurities – that can hold a person back. The act of "burning" it signifies confronting these shadows, letting go of the past, and finding hope and love to move forward.

(Corrected lyrics) And as the battle burns on in the distance, I ask you child, can you feel this resistance? We, the creative corpses, have built the new cathedrals. We've constructed the new arenas. We paint the pictures and we write the anthems. So now I ask you, who are you here with? It is us against them, and we must seek our own kind. As we cavort on the ashes of a burning tomorrow, we dance on a thousand graves. Get high on this mutiny! And now that you have turned it on, all that is left to do is turn it up. So...

frankly, i was an adult before I understood the significance of shine running. I have mixed emotions as I am not a drinker and could care less about the alcohol aspect. I am pissed about the hypocrisy of something being illegal ONLY because they cannot tax it. that's 'immoral' on BOTH sides and i'm actually rooting for the shiners.

An estranged love...a diety...an estranged child...could be singing to any of those possibly.

It's about a sick track with a killer baseline being played by a dj at a party and the crowd goes wild for it and it goes down as one of those epic fucking times at a party on the dancefloor. Killing the soundboy type shit. Sound levels up in that red! I'm getting all hyped up just thinking about it lol. I love this song too. It's a classic.

bjork has said that she fantasised about being touched at 5, this is very freudian, probably fantasising about her stepdad, she added it never happened, but she had to get it out of her head, and the only way was this song. To me it confirms Freuds statement that there is an infantile sexuality in infants, that is both naive and harmless, but narcissists predators can take advantage of this. The fact she mentions that adults do strange crap like smoke cigars distances the infant from the bizarre adult world, and puts her back on track

Steve Harris was inspired to write this, in part, by reading the Robert Burns poem "Tam O'Shanter" in school.
