  • Get it right Joni, no, not let your "little" personal light shine. Let THE LIGHT shine- The wonderful healing, creative, empowering forgiving, renewing peaceful joyful fulfilling purifying LIGHT shine, Yeshua/Jesus who are THE LIGHT and the source of all true Light that drives away all the darkness of evil referred to in this song. Joni sings that we don't need You, Loving Creator of this earth as an Eden that we have turned into a shambles as we continue to turn our backs on You and Your LOVE.

  • WHEN WILL ALL OUR MISERY END? When man abandons the folly the insanity the irrationality of trying to run this world without God/ Christ. (when man also abandons religion and turns personally to his destined personal empowered fulfilled partnership with Christ.

    He gave us Eden We turned our backs on Christ and turned it into hell. We insist on our own right to ourselves & on independence from our Creator & the Creator (God/Jesus) of this world. Jesus,LET YOUR GREAT WONDERFUL LIGHT SHINE&HEAL .

  • @jwsyt2 we are an amazing result of the coming together of atoms, an inevitability of our surroundings, a series of microscopic steps. that's incredible, and far more beautiful than the summaries we made before we could understand the universe as we do now. surely, reality is far more amazing and inspiring than myths? and surely, hanging on to these summaries in the face of overwhelming evidence is tantamount to madness?

  • @petebrayscuba Now THAT is a real MYTH- the coming together of atoms... is that what u r? We understand NOTHING of the universe- what arrogance 2 say so! REALITY will always be the Onewho lovingly created you for your wonderful eternal destiny. Will you continue 2 keep your back firmly turned to Him? Or will you turn to REALITY and come into a personal love relationship with the One who made you, loves, you forgives you and wants to give you all the deepest desires of your heart?

  • @jwsyt2 i would struggle to throw away empirical evidence for heresay. how can i believe what a handful of people tell me beyond facts? i'm not trying to be confrontational, i want to make that clear. i'm sure you're a lovely person with true intentions. however in response to your question, yes i believe i'm an incredibly complex concoction of atoms. if you question the evidence, it will stand up. to say we know nothing of the universe is to say we have no senses; surely that is arrogance?

  • @petebrayscuba Give us the empirical evidence that you r conscious & have feelings, such as love. Please do. Who concocted you out of those atoms- of course nobody, right? it all just happened spontaneously right?- over time, by itself- that you are such a complex, marvellous, amazing creation. what "facts" do u have? These:? That you are a meaningless purposeless being & that no science can explain how the life in u arose. You call all that nonsense "facts." Speak to your Creator

  • @jwsyt2 well, i think you've hit on the difference there, science doesn't claim to know everything, and it embraces investigation and freedom of thought. religion claims to know everything, and has no place for investigation or freedom of thought. i don't think you are i are meaningless or purposeless, and i'm certain i don't need religion to tell me that.and of course it's not spontaneous.go along to your local museum and ask to see their fossils.the evidence is there for those willing to look.

  • @petebrayscuba God/Christ hates religion, it makes Him puke- it killed Christ. God wants no one involved in it- it is man's invention, not His. You may need to study these things to get at some truth. Christ wants you involved in a dynamic personal intimate relationship with Him. The very beginning of using our investigative minds BEGINS when we are activated by the indwelling Holy Spirit of God. Only then. Intimacy with Christ empowers&frees the mind.

  • @jwsyt2 Forget oppressive dead religion.You say you have no need of your loving Creator. How irrational is that?You think it is optional to relate to the One who Loves you& gives you life.Only Christ& no one else offers you forgiveness, freedom& empowerment.TheyrNOT optional in the eternal perspective of your life. Don't you want them? Like a fish in the pond who does not know what is outside, how can you know what LIFE is without knowing the One who gave it to you? Speak WITH Christ now

  • @jwsyt2 if i firmly believed in a tiny ostrich that lived in my ear and told me to do good in the world i'm sure you'd say i was mad (quite rightly). i believe god is just another distraction, that rots away at rational thought. i'm happy, i'm loved and and i reject the idea that i need forgiveness. the only being who can forgive me is me. i have a strong moral code because i believe in people, not god. you believe differently. why not just accept that others believe differently to you?

  • @petebrayscuba You speak like you created yourself. You didn't!How can you hold forth about someone you have never met. Science calls that irrational. FIRST, meet God/Christ, Get to know Him PERSONALLY then u can describe Him/decide whether or not you can/will live with or without Him. To compare the greatest historical Person of all time, Christ, with a little ostrich is objectively speaking irrational. It is monumentally unworthy & uneducated! Wat sort of “university” are u in?

  • @jwsyt2 this has got rather silly, hasn't it?! i'm not sure what i expected, more fool me i suppose. you keep making personal digs, retain your bigoted arrogance and if God one day wanders into a bar and buys me a beer, i promise i'll have a chat with him. anyway, go in peace to love and serve the lord, i've got revision to do!

  • @petebrayscuba Whoa! Why feel silly? Why be bigoted against Christ?Why make insulting, arrogant personal digs against Jesus Christ? Why ? Is that how an educated cultured person acts? It is the year 2012 after whose birth? Get empirical proof: Speak to Him now: "Jesus, I do not believe U exist, but if U do, prove it to me! Manifest to me! Then I will decide if I will relate with U or not!" Simple enough. Like Pascal said nothing to lose in doing so. God bless u & much success 2u!

  • @petebrayscuba btw.Pls study!Read Darwin-he writes that his theory is mortally flawed & will never be accepted because there should be billions,mountains, of fossils of intermediate states of evolving creatures supporting the idea of MACRO evolution. In His lifetime & up to this moment. NOT ONE SINGLE SUCH FOSSIL, not a single one!!! has yet been found! In yr museum there r only fossils showing the truth of MICRO evolution.This regards bad vs real scienceNOTfaith vs science.Study!

  • @jwsyt2 i do study, i am at university studying biology and chemistry.. i'm getting a little annoyed that you insist on telling me what to do. and i reject the idea that evolution should reach a point and then a barrier should appear. if a plant or animal changes little by little, and then it reaches a point where it is so different from it cannot mate successfully with its relative, it is a unique species. this is pretty basic stuff and if you've studied it you must have heard this before.

  • Joni is preaching a religion here. It goes against our One and Only Hope in this world and in eternity. Joni preaches that each of us is our own god. That we are independent of God/Jesus and that we are "little lights"/gods. This is EVIL dressed as good! In fact Joni PREACHes here in favor of what caused & causes all the hellish misery of this world: each one turning to him/herself for solutions for his own misery & for that of the world. This is the CAUSE NOT THE SOLUTION-so Joni preaches evil

  • What a great sorrow- Such a great, Christ-given musical poetic gift- yet Joni does not yet personally know the source of her gift. I suppose she was turned off by religion. We all should be!GOD HATES RELIGION IT MAKES HIM PUKE! Man, not God invented & wants religion. Jesus wants an intimate loving PERSONAL relationship with us- so that earth can become again the Eden that He gave us&we turned into hell on earth BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR BACKS TURNED TO Jesus& want 2do everything alone- as our own gods

  • Shine!...? Who? What "little" light? Poor Joni, so close & yet so lost- an inch is as good as a million miles... There is a Light- THE LIGHT Joni's and our ONLY Hope. His LIGHT will indeed heal Joni's heart,- ALL our hearts and this abused planet and humanity. To believe that the desperate hopes of the human race can be solved by humans is irrational- insane! Only our Loving Creator can do that as we turn around face him & enter His loving embrace (NOT THAT OF RELIGION!)- He is a PERSON, JESUS

  • Not quite a great album. Thanks Wayne Shorter is not playing. BUT..."Shine" the song is absolutely from and for the eternity. Only Mitchell to touch that string inside us, the one that makes us cry for knowing that Peace is a Real thing we keep forgetting. She was ill when she wrote this song...but we are all ill till we merge inside...shine forever

  • awful song from her worst album

  • So moving....I have always found this song what should be played instead of a national anthem....with these images, I was moved to tears....and I shined. Thank you.

  • Love the combination of "shine on another asshole" and a picture of McCarthy. A real asshole!!

  • What a beautiful song. Would not for one brief moment the world be a better place if it could hear the words and the spirit of "Shine". Alas, the voices of truth have been drowned out while the heathen rage. Joni knew this. As we descend into the fiery abyss, a few brave souls threw out the life perserver.

  • What an absolute genius.

  • she has the most wonderful voice...I wish she did more songs like this; most are crappy

  • Homophobic message at 5:15 !! :( HATE is NOT christian...

  • @juguya the photo is trying to depict Joni's words that churches love less and less, not trying to promote homophobia. I think its less a homophobic msg and more a statement about religion.

  • this reminds me of All Fall Down by the greateful Dead - only Joni's song is sweeter - sort of bittersweet, actually

  • wonderful.............

  • Joni shines on all of us.

  • FOR GOD SAKE JUST SHINE ,!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @robadorable Do you have some need to YELL???????

  • @gmac072 WHAT? : )p

  • @robadorable NO! For Humanity's sake shine!

  • I am a Great Fan of Joni Mitchell.I can't describe how I felt the first time I heard

    Court & Spark. She muse has never left her for long. A born Artist Painter, Poet

    I love you Joni, and I want You to know it!!

  • I guess I start to fall deeply in love with the music of Joni Mitchell.

  • Thank you for this beautiful video.

  • Joni, the voice has deepened with the passing of years, but not a single bit of artistry or power has been lost along the way. Shine on you, sweet lady, for all the exquisite song, poetry and what I call "the paintings in your head" you have shared. This is also one of the most exquisite videos I have seen on here; it does such justice to an incredible piece of artistry.

  • This is so beautiful and emotional. Only Joni Mitchell can stir these emotions while watching these images.It takes my breath away. Thank you for adding these images to this beautiful song. It is so emotional that it seems like a religious experience to me. Thanks

  • This was so beautiful. That voice, the images. Together. Beautiful. Grazie.

  • This makes me remember what is real.

  • Thank God for the Wise Women Green Men

    

  • Joni, may I dedicate all my happy tears, by listening to your divine songs, to a great spirit for a better future on planet? Your contribution to harmony and peace of mind is enormous... God is great. (Thank U, gmac072)

  • MBJ.  : )

  • @Khultan MBJ???????

  • I have all of Joni's albums since I started following her in 1969.

    It is great to be able too also "see" her other art works thanks to the Internet.

    My biggest fear is that our children do not ( find the time to ) discover the beauty she gives us.

    In fact , I would want her to live on eternally, and would hope that all good people make sure her work is never forgotten as it would be the biggest loss to humanity IMO.

  • Joni is just pure genius.

    No other music in this world can move the soul as much as Joni.

    Thankyou for this video/audio.

  • This song is not for the weak at heart, nor for the one's who shake their heads and say..."Come on honey, let's go!" This song is not for those who's strength hides behind a mask of indifference....THIS is a song for those who have seen...and know what sacrifices it took ...for them to get to where they are now... and what it took for mother earth to get to what she is today.....

  • bella, bella, bella, bella

  • if I had a heart i'd cry

    grazie :)

  • @tencinage è bellissima..sì tocca il cuore e l'anima....

  • "Shine on another asshole, passing on the right..."

    Har har !!

  • Magnifique Splendide quel avenir pour la terre si belle si bleu avec toute la solisitude de l humain quel peur....je suis tellement triste oh mon Dieu ........Morts, meurtre,oh je pleure ..oui je pl......Karine

  • i know you feel the need to tell us how bad it is...we need you to tell us thier is hope. Hope is cheap, it costs us nothibg, You've done it before, plz we need it now,

  • Sorry for my late reply, (and for my bad english ) . The other one song that moves me to tears is "evening song" by Jon Lord/Sam brown . i uploaded it on youtube some time ago.

    Me wonderful? YOU must be wonderful cos i didn't know this song by Joni. Thanx again. Peace and love.

  • I was about to comment and say that i am crying like a baby...well i guess i am not the only one...there are two songs which do this to me.

    By the way, the video you made for the song is absolutely appropriate. Thank you very much form Italy.

  • I wish I could speak your beautiful language to tell you how wonderful you are. Tell me, what other songs touch your heart like this.

  • If you have time listen to Citizen Cope...Sideways...God......it hits you where you live...Love....can't live with it.....can't live without it !!!

  • "...I wanna know what became of the changes we waited for Love to bring..."

    This song is stunning...I'm in tears every time I hear it. Beautiful vid...

    And, yeah, Joni...you DO shine ...for all of us. I remember the Isle of Wight concert where the young troubador pled to the crowd to ...try a little tenderness... instead of this vile, self absorption and greed...We should have seen it coming then, I swear.

  • recognize that snare tone? sounds like vinnie to me, whatcha think?

  • Prolly...I want a piccolo w/brushes.

  • Joni is beyond a dispute, but the quality of your vid is stunning

  • Thank you and bless you Joni, for caring, GMAC for sharing and all for all those who listen.

  • And Thank You, fayedunawayfan. Joni is a gift to us all. But then, so are you.

    gmac

  • Right on, GrandMa

    gmac

  • Joni..don't get mad (copyRights) cos it's the only way some of us 'oldies' get to hear you nowadays..living on low income & not GOING mad cos I can HEAR you.Best Love,always,

    Grandma,Ireland.
