- Shine from Healing.
LYRICS:
Now as the evening sun sets on you healer
Your day is over, your light is fading away at last
And the wolves howl after the healer
Fighting for pieces, bits of his shattered remains
All who could know it
First they curse you then they warn you so
Then they use you and then they go on
'til they curse you and there's no more
And they turn off all the light
That you were giving away
And they burn off but they just don't seem to shine
Is it all gone, is there no one who will shine?
Don't let the secret out, it's much too early
They are not ready but the hour is close at hand
For the wolves of the world are still hungry
But they are dying, there is no healing for them
You will know by the signs you have seen before
In your seeds of life there are more to come
The healer was not alone
He will turn on all the light
That they've been hiding away
Turn on the light
He will burn off
Come on and shine you diamond shine
They will turn on all the light
That they've been hiding away
They've got to turn on the light
They will burn off
Come on shine you diamond shine
There are a million eyes watching the world tonight
Have we learned nothing?
Do we merit another chance?
By what grace have we earned some redemption
Ten million saviors, ten billion angels of man
Those who know that such miracles can be so
They arrive because they must go
And lead believers to bring it home
November, 2019; I'm in Cleveland, visiting my friend Dave, who's in hospice, stage four lung cancer.
I have to head back to Texas, we've ironed out all the details of his funeral, all the nuts and bolts stuff, and it's time to say goodbye.
Dave says, "Before you go, do something for me; play "Shine " by Todd".
I pull it up on my phone, and we listen to it one last time.
Forty-five years, a thousand adventures, wrapped up in a stellar piece of music.
See you soon, Dave.
Oh, the number of hours I spent listening to this song with my headphones, loud enough to hear the piano fade and reverse all the way ! And this orgiac ending with all the voices, guitars, horns, well, every bits and pieces of sound, in fact ! A true sonic whirlwind !
One of the best songs ever written and performed
Your comments still apply of course! C'mon shine you mothers shine!
I'm so pleased to find others who love this song. Todd often saves the best best til last. People may not agree but I love the denouement last verse of Something To Fall Back On.
I walked around NYC for months listening to this on repeat, I just couldn’t stop listening. It still moves me extremely. Listening to it after a long pause, should be asleep but the sky outside is silver from the moon and I can’t seem to sleep. Todd always gets back in my head, I take longish breaks and then one minute I just have to hear something, and then another and another, and I’m back in it again.
Rick Beato, where are you?? Todd is so beautiful and this has that crazy Lydian thing you love... Come on now! One of the best songs ever, ending could've been an extra on Kid A. Todd was SO ahead
Absolutely love love love this song
Another violently emotional, paroxysmal piece from this AMAZING lp. Leaves you speechless
Todd R. is such a gift to us all! See ya on the road to Utopia.
In Todd we Trust
It is time to
Shine The Light!!
The structure of this piece is just.......................you know
perfect!
Amazing words, music,, message, so in love
Love todd's miscellaneous screams
Love the power of this piece!
Amazing from the master
Todd is the best! He is nominated for the 2020 R&R Hall Of Fame and he deserves to be in there! You can vote for him daily until Jan.10/20.
New this year, to cast a ballot in the official Klipsch Audio Fan Vote, you can search “Rock Hall Fan Vote” or the word “Vote” with any Nominee name on Google to cast your ballot.
I have never been as blown away by a song in my life. I tried to sing along and I got mentally and emotionally overwhelmed and lost, not able to follow the lyrics. And I thought Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd was the epitome of artistry.
Wow, just wow...
gracias gran hechizero por recordar tan bella cancion, de brillo con el master todd rundgren
Todd is God
No, he isn't. He's good. But he's not God.
Gott ist Todd?

y dios contigo y toda tu hermosa familia y a tus amistades
verdadero hechizero gracias
So when Theosophy finally gets on your God damned nerves
a bit of joni mitchell resonating in this one
Every thing inwards but loose
Jesus dying on the cross...
