Well Robert, please go on stretching your comfort zone and don't stick to folk ballads.
This is very authentic and especially the chorus is great!

Hahah, I love Jane Austen novels. And I really like this tune too. Go figure!  But hey, in all seriousness I really love this song. You did an amazing job lyrically, and this is definitely something I could see being on the radio. It has that really polished feel to it. Great job!
Cheers,
Ember

Hello, Robert
A nice folk rock tune!
It reminds me of Simon & Garfunkel a little bit.
Your vocals and harmonies are very pleasant.
It has a unique chord progression as usual.
I agree with Rob and Anne-Marie.
Please go on stretching your comfort zone and don't stick to folk ballads.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Rob and Anne-Marie Rob and Anne-Marie, Thanks for your listen and likes...ok, I`ll keep stretching -next up a Beatles pop tune. Robert great self description! get on with your funky self!

Kenny Thanks for the fun endorsement, Kenny - very kind indeed. The chorus probably owes more to "old" than "new" funk but then my ignorance of modern music is quite extensive! Robert Hahah, I love Jane Austen novels. And I really like this tune too. Go figure! But hey, in all seriousness I really love this song. You did an amazing job lyrically, and this is definitely something I could see being on the radio. It has that really polished feel to it. Great job! Ember, Radio -ready,really? Well I did work hard on the chorus harmonies so I appreciate your comments on the production side,but its also good to know the lyrics connected (this old guy`s attempt to reach a teenager in distress). Robert

Robert,
What a cool listen! Nicely done.
Cool vocal processing. Really like the stop ending!
The whole thing was kinda Robert-meets-Zappa...

I really liked this tune, Robert! I love the contrast of the somber vocal delivery with the upbeat and groovy instrumental. I found the lyrics here really captivating as well. And those harmonies! Great work, and thanks so much for sharing 
Cheers,
Deryk

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, I find seeking out somewhat off beat chord changes gives me inspiration for my tunes... I thought the abrupt key change at the end might prompt a comment, but maybe it does work. Many thanks for your listen and kind words. Robert

floyd Floyd, You are on to something with the Zappa comment... I couldn`t find any modern funk that I liked, so the rhythm came from listening to Captain Beefheart`s more accessible stuff. Thanks for mentioning the ending - my favourite part of the song! Robert

Hey Funk Man, stepping out of the boundaries is fun. And, man, does BiaB ever enable it.
We can hear the Zappa reference for sure. Like Kenny said "it's got soul" and if that's present J&B are gonna like about any genre.
Different? Yep. Good? Yep. A nice combination there.
Speaking of different...those chord changes worked so well.
"been saving up your lightning
keep it in a box
now its unlocked"
Our favorite out of a song full of great lines. Well performed and mixed. It's ALL there.
Enjoyed it!
J&B

I love the contrast of the somber vocal delivery with the upbeat and groovy instrumental. I found the lyrics here really captivating as well. And those harmonies! Great work, and thanks so much for sharing Deryk, I appreciate your kind review. For the harmonies I used a combination of my own with BiaB harmoniser... always a reliable backup when I`m vocally challenged! Robert Interesting and different. Nice production. I`m glad you gave this song a listen; thanks for your comments.

Hey, there, "Robertkc"... A message posted on an insurance company's marquee where I live advised, "Don't be afraid to go out on a limb, 'cause that where all the fruit is!" For all its undeniable "funk", the feel and the tone of "Shine" actually seems more like down-tempo electronica, especially with your (flanged?) and roller-coaster vocal effects in the chorus. Your dissonant chord changes lend an eerie sound that augments the dark and sharp-edged lyrics: "Time, time, it takes time
Find your strange, let it shine
You`re one of a kind
You will shine"All told, I think "Shine" is something new, something with teeth that I'd call "feral funk". Ain't it fun when you let your musical imagination go free?  Intrigued, LOREN
