Shine

Story Behind The Song

I took parts from different Songs and combined them to make a piece with a wide variety of feels.

Song Description

I was very hopeful for President Obama to really bring the Change he promised. Alas, it was just a Tag Line. While I appreciate his efforts, it still is not enough. The people we elect to Congress betray us at every turn because they are in the hip pockets of Big Business. They are more concerned with getting reelected and keeping their seats than they are with serving our needs. We have no Lobby. We need someone to step up for us.

Lyrics

All of our Heroes have fallen
All of our Deities are dead
We are at the mercy of those who care nothing for us.
Left to their devices, rife with their vices
In fraud we trust
Won't somebody just...

Shine
Shine
Be a ray of hope in our decline
Shine
Shine
Fight the fight, make things right
Give us a sign

All of our idols are villains
All of our saviors have fled
We elect our leaders whose interests are put before ours
Worshiping the Dollar
While we live in squalor
They look with disgust
Won't somebody just...

Shine
Shine
Be a ray of hope in our decline
Shine
Shine
Fight the fight, make things right
Give us a sign

I really like the vocal layering in the pre chorus and chorus. The phrygian scales are really cool as well
