Daniel Lanois - Shine

http://www.squidoo.com/daniel-lanois-songwriter
I have wandered far and wide
All the way from Paris to Mexico
'Til I was gone and didn't know

In the end the thing that keeps me walking
Is your shine, your shine in the morning, your shine in the distance,
Your shine inside the laughter and the ghosts

They have spoken of the river forever bending inside the fever
Of the saints that walk all night with no domain

In the end the thing that keeps them walking is your shine
Your shine when they wear no coat, your shine when the feelings low
Your shine when it's too late to turn around

I have frozen up my dreams, thinking I was all alone
Fighting every minute for each turning stone
I have reached the rocket speed
I have touched the ground that feeds
Scaling fences, looking for the healing sun

In the end the thing that keeps me walking is your shine
Your shine in transmissions, your shine in decisions,
Your shine when I labor to the new day,
It's your shine, your shine, your shine, shine, shine on

2003 recording at KCRW|89.9FM radio show Morning Becomes Eclectic with Nic Harcourt. Lanois and Mother Superior perform in studio songs from the album Shine.

This man is spiritually connected to his

music and his talent. There is alot of love,

passion and focus in his songs.

All of his albums are fantastic, I especially love

his production values in the studio. He presents

his music like a dish of delicious rich food that

needs to be enjoyed bite by bite, all very slowly

and deliberately.

Excellent comment, you described his essence the best. Thanks for joining in!

[LuvinJesusynot]

@uppastbedtime glad this song could comfort you...it's carried me through some dark valleys too, rather, it's about Jesus who carries us through

I lost my mother yesterday and she was a large part of the shine in my life.

@stuckinwawa I was just going to say that! i coulnt it when i found out this was just a radio performance and not the take that was on the album.

[ErikEntropy]

this song reminds me alot of "Where Will I Be" of of his Here Is What Is album for some reason, not so much lyricaly, but melody wise and some of the guitar chords, cant pinpoint it really

[stuckinwawa]

This version is way better than the album version
