about

THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG
The song was written about my friend and musical duet partner: Rich McMahon, a talented singer songwriter who left us too soon.

lyrics

YOU SHINE ON

Your vivid heart:
Shone brighter than the rest
Your great big smile:
You hid the pain the best
I hope you’ve found your home and I hope you’ve found some peace
I hope you’ve found your home and I hope you’ve found release

Your light is still burning strong
Your heart it goes shining on:
Shining on, Shining on
You Shine On, You Shine On

We fragile things
Life: delicate and brief
But you made your mark
And you brought out the best in me

I hope you’ve found your home and I hope you’ve found some peace
I hope you’ve found your home and I hope you’ve found release

Your light is still burning strong
Your heart it goes shining on:
Shining on, Shining on
You Shine On, You Shine On

And nobody knows what goes – when the crowds have all gone
Nobody feels what you can feel
But you went Inbetweenland, Beyond the Borders of man
And now your Lost and Found is Here
You Shine On x 4

© Alex Vann 2015 – in memory of Rich McMahon
