Cover art for Shine lyrics by Vanessa Amorosi

Had this song on the playlist, and thought it worked better to replace "shine" with "die". So looked up the meaning - and bang that's what it originally was.

Can understand that feel-good songs sell. But change back those lyrics and it is so real a song:

You can bang your head Or you can drown in a hole Nothing lasts forever But you can try Well look around you Everyone you see Everyone you know Is going to die!

Sit through the fear, face the reality, and it is so beautifully freeing. All the daily worries disappear as trivial, imaginary nonsense in the bigger perspective of life and death. Beautiful song. Touching. Uplifting.
