[randypesto]

I love song! Yea . We all get to shine in the New Jerusalem.

[URProductions]

After 14 years of hearing this on the radio I finally decided to check out who it is.

[mangimages5]

this is a really good song :)

[emerice]

Goddamn 1997 i feel so old now great song though Tom Wilson Kiks AZZ

[MrJoeGunns]

Its a shame Dan Achen passed away, bwstoaster I got to see your dad play a couple shows and never disapointed.

[MrEcurb9]

tom is amazing and horribly underated..probably it will take the rest of the world another 20 years to realize this. See ya at downtown kathy browns oct 28 for ur show tom

[BlackJacqueShellaque]

Yet another under-appreciated awesome Canadian rock band.

[themooddisorders]

I have a connection!

[TheFilter212]

Canadian talent shines again!!

[themooddisorders]

This album is underrated

themooddisorders

[mauricew1]

AWESOME song... can't believe I haven't discovered it before!

[KimberlyColton]

a guy you can listen to all day long, what a great song and voice!

[14dogday]

love this song

[TheBosama]

The hair on my arms are now stuck to the ceiling... poof!

[2stix4skins]

The best coast to coast to coast!!!

[sweiland75]

a shame that Junkhouse didn't stay together for very long

[crossroads26]

does anyone know that tune from him the line goes ....."going to the graveyard going to cast of my stone".....not sure what the tune is called but its a good 1....

[Bongsolo123]

The wire!!!! Canadian !!!!!!!!!!!

[fourbyfourer]

Now here's a song I like

[Truegrungelives]

Canada has talent...just cause we dont have money or air time like the states we should never be left to rot, our music is like hockey is to the world, never forget that.

[wtfboooom]

they play this crap on k97 in edmonton AB, on a "classic rock" station.. since when did a hip hop beat on a 1997 song qualify as classic rock?

[FredrickVonWinkle457]

@wtfboooom hip hop? you need to get out more...

[lcerider]

@wtfboooom You live in Edmonton, sry about your luck but little wonder you don't know the difference between hip hop and rock. Let me guess though, you're idea of rock is, hmm let me see, METALLICA!?

[PinkFloyd1212]

Good song

Not the best lyrics but good song~~~

Add 4 cups of coffee and a few bong rips, sounds golden

[govern0r]

@PinkFloyd1212 good comment, although it could have been better.

[MrJo1340]

I'm trying to figure out what this song is about. i have my own memories of this song but I don't know if it's applicable to the lyrics.

[1984corbindallas]

@MrJo1340 it dosent matter what he says fundamentaly its what you get out of it

[flaggger]

RIP Dan Achen!

[sweiland75]

"It's just a matter of time, before we get to shine."

Love those lyrics. Inspirational. :)

[MusicCanTouchTheSoul]

RIP Dan Achen

[MrTommypops]

awesome song. its gritty like hamilton!! Toronto who?????????

[Ha7oc]

@MrTommypops lol whats gritty like hamilton? hamilton is the biggest shithole in Canada

[MrMontrealmikey]

@Ha7oc You could do a hell of a lot worse then Hamilton my friend. It is an honest place, a lot of good people come out of there, so don't hate on what you don't know....

[AlexWynand]

Tom Wilson is a beautiful man.

[canadiankid95]

dan achen(guitarist) is my and my friends band manager he has his own recording studio now

[bwstoaster]

whats awesome is that Dan Achen, the guitarist with the cowboy hat is my dad :D

[taze48]

for real? cool.

[hondacr60r]

@bwstoaster bullshit lol he from the hammer to?

[Squidy666]

@bwstoaster

Then please tell your dad he's awesome and inspired my current style and also my playing :) such a great tone

[SheepStone]

@bwstoaster I'm sorry for your loss :(. Dan Achen was a really talented man

[TheMJtheGOD]

@SheepStone NOT!!!!!!!!!

[Squidy666]

@bwstoaster oh shit, sorry! when I posted that I didn't know Dan had passed :( Sincerest apologies and condolences

[jonesy77777]

@bwstoaster

Nice one bro, much respect. Could you recommend some other songs from the band for a newb. Cheers.

[Maxmulham]

I don`t know why, but this song defines Hamilton. It just does. Love it

[lummond]

Best Hamilton band ever.

[TonyLalangue]

I forgot the project he did with Bob Lanois, Daniel's brother. That one is called "The Shack Recordings" I had my hands on it, but never got to give it a listen.

[hinamauka]

Just how many bands is Tom Wilson in, anyway? He's great in all of them!!

[Laughingdragon52]

@hinamauka he's in as many bands as he wants to be in...:))

[datalal624]

I remember this song! Yay, I love it once again!

Thanks for posting this. :-)

[lotanerve]

try and find " Tiger Balm " by Junkouse .You'll love it

[astuc8]

Tom Wilson can be on my Planet Love any day!

[silent0saint]

Can I too!!!!!

[SaveTheGrizzly]

Kids, from the 90's, not the 70's. But what a great tune. Tom rocks!!

[guitarmusic1]

Canadians are sending Obama a list of tunes that define Canada. Go to the CBC website to vote or call 1-877-222-8166 (Press: 1) and vote for SHINE by JUNKHOUSE.

[jimi1234567]

Great song from the Hammer!

[jotskiaren]

I'm swedish and i have been looking for both records and places to download anything with Tom Wilson but can't find it. Makes me sad

[mario6839]

Amen

[guitarmusic1]

Just heard Tom sing this tune at a house concert in Peterborough a few weeks ago. It was totally AWESOME!

[lisaannemorrisseau]

such a kool f-in' song...one of my all-time faves...junkhouse shines...!!

[magerbon]

I can't find "gimme the love" thats my all time fave by junk house.

[roquefortfiles]

Fning fantastic slow groove. Great song. This belongs in the classic bin.

[flyinelvis69]

Great song. My personal Junkhouse faves are "Big Daddy" and "Funhouse 69".

Minimal airplay, great tunes tho....

[jasong4111]

I love this song! You should check out another one of their (Junkhouse's) songs from 1993 called "Out Of My Head". I think "Shine" and "Out Of My Head" are their best songs.

[Gimpsta]

Man, i bought this album when i was a kid. Im happy it didnt hit mainstream, i love Junkhouse... True Canadian sound :D

[Flavario]

Is this the radio edit version? Who's idea to cut the song, to what, save 15 seconds? Guy in editing should be fired. That's like editing the Bells out of Hell's Bells. This song is a classic!

[mrceleb2006]

Actually, this is from their 1997 album called "Fuzz".

[KrazeeKanuck]

Great song!

[Brick663]

what a great song

[mac100100]

Great song! I miss these guys and I miss Big Sugar!

[1900whogivesa]

First song I learned on harmonica. Harp tabs in the key of 'D': -4,-5,-4,-3,3,3... 3,-3,3...3,4,3... -4,-5,-4,-5,-4,-3,-4... -5,5,4,-4... -5,5,-5,5,4,-5 (2,3,4). So to help you out the '-' is draw and otherwise it's blow. The (2,3,4) are blown through at the same time and is the remainder of the song. The high squeal at the end is repeatedly drawn through 5 with a hard bend. Took me a couple days to hammer it out.

[Nothin66]

There Is Only ONE Tom Wilson ! That voice !

Idiosycratically exemplifing the ultimate possiblities of the freebasing imagination!

I still get goosebumps listening to this song!

[jagandme]

: ) Great band, thanks for the video, any chance of a reunion for another album or tour, or is that water under the bridge. I'm surprised that they didn't make it bigger.

[fenderman619]

with a produser that they had they should have but they where still big

[dreyam]

Wow. Awesome tune, awesome vocals. Some friends and I get together most Tuesdays for a kitchen jam, and we almost always wind up playing this song at some point. It's classic.

[woo2fly18]

i miss the nineties

[Maxmulham]

Totally. My dog was still alive, and Beavis and Butthead was still on TV, and the music was dying yet still had soul left until it hit the 2000's. Now everything sucks. Global Warming, rap, hollywood. I'm frikken pissed off now that you mention it.

[alaskaozzy]

i miss the seventies

[mario6839]

what does this have to do with the seventies alaskaozzy lol

[nubbs]

thanks for posting

[johnnycanada]

The voice of Hamilton Ontario.

[yayaang]

I love this song :D

[Maxmulham]

This is a good song. Only 5,000 views?

[dusktodawn1066]

About the parts filmed in the tunnel, is that in Vancouver, or maybe Victoria? I remember seeing something on MuchMusic many years ago that talked about filming a video in a tunnel that seems like this one, and that was in Vancouver, or Victoria. I think I've also seen it used as a setting in Stargate SG-1 or Andromeda, both of which filmed in Vancouver. Can anybody shed some light?

[hauler3]

that tunnel is a train tunnel in hamilton it runs between mcnab street and queen street in hamilton it dont look like that now its now via rail

[princesslehaha]

Go see Blackie And The Rodeo Kings, he still does this song! They're worth seeing either way, an unbeatable combo of supertalented guys.

[marlym]

Great song and video thank you!

[Cluin]

Great tune from a great band. But it's not on their "Strays" album. It's on their "Fuzz" album made a couple years later.

[hauler3]

the singers name is Tom Wilson,a good old boy from the beautiful city of HAMILTON ONTARIO.

[082076]

the statue is the lead singer.

[RSNovak]

QUESTION:

Who's playing the role of "Human Statue"? That isn't who I think it is ... is it? Off Grant Ave? Sure looks, in the opening frames, like B.L.

[snowwahs]

this song is so aceeeeeeeeee

[cdigdawg]

Do you have "Burned Out Car"?

[MaccaSpan]

More Junkhouse!!! YES!!!

They also played with The Odds on Eat My Brain, and are also in that video, but I can't find it anywhere.

[jeffkahl]

this always takes me back to when I used to work the produce section in the local Dominion and this would always come on the radio. everytime I hear this song I'm taken back there.

[ganjavih]

Your efforts in bringing us these beauties are much appreciated. Keep doing it!
