Текст песни Shine On

"Shine On" is a song by Australian rock band Jet, and is the seventh track on their second album Shine On" альбом" href="/jet/shine-on-album.html">Shine On. In March 2007, the single was released as the third single from that album in the United Kingdom and Australia. An EP was released to the American iTunes Store in December 2006. The song was written by Nic to comfort his family after his father's death. He is quoted of saying "It was inevitable I would write a song that dealt with all of that, but it was almost too big a subject for me to handle," Nic says. "Then I got a phone call from my mom saying everyone was depressed so I wrote the song through Dad's eyes, what he would say to help everyone through. We recorded it in one take, but it was emotional, very heavy. We couldn't be happier with this album." The title of the song is speculated to be an homage to "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", a similarly-themed song by Pink Floyd, though this has not been confirmed. Similarly, the refrain of "Shine on, for everyone" is reminiscent of "Instant Karma!", a song by John Lennon. The song was featured on the final episode of the television series The O.C. and also in a season final episode of Cold Case. It is also rumoured to be the song played at the funeral of one Robert James Sloan. In a recent interview with Heat magazine, the comedy chathost declared, "I love this song. I would be more than delighted to hear it through my coffin!" The song charted poorly in the UK missing the top 75 altogether and also charted poorly in Australia missing the top 50 altogether. The song failed to chart in the United States but it did chart on the Modern Rock charts at #30.
