Shine on!

There's something very peculiar about this song. I remember how I'd listen to this whenever they play it on Friday Magic Madness, and it transports me the decadent era of the 70s.

Something about it is dark. It feels like you're in a dark corner of Studio 54 with cigarette smoke billowing from Bianca Jagger and Andy Warhol. And the fact that the title is "Shine on" and the feeling is dark - it provides such an interesting counterpoint.



I don't get to listen to Friday Magic Madness that much anymore. But I still hear this song playing at Kamiseta. (Yes, the clothing store has a penchant for 80s ballroom tunes.) And when I hear it, I get the same feeling "over and over and over again."

Just as the song says.
