Really nice chorus - interesting - possibly a bit of a Talking Heads as well as the Zappa thing?
Lots of good comments above well deserved. And I liked that ending.

Hey Robert. I have been listened to this a couple of times over the last couple of days. Love the back beat on this. Your vocal and lyric were very cool. Love what you are doing with your harmonies. Well done. Hi Scott, Thanks for your listens and comments.I found the vocal a bit of a test, but enjoyed rocking out a bit more than usual. 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
J&B, That`s very kind. Yup, BiaB is a good stimulant for wannabe genre shifters- but really I think this forum and all the different things folks try out here in a receptive setting is just as inspiring. Your continued support is appreciated! Robert 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 Hi Loren, That`s a nice quote. I enjoyed reading your review; you have a unique way of expressing your thoughts and I can always tell you`ve really listened to a song with an open mind. When I`ve posted this I`m going to look up "down-tempo electronica" - its one of many modern musical tags I don`t know much about! The vocal on the chorus refrain uses a delay and a boost of the high frequencies which seemed to add kind of rock edge I liked. Thank you for giving this a listen and the benefit of your insight. Robert

Hi Robert.
I think all of the lyrics are wonderful and the whole
song very original and refreshing.
Different is good.
Cheers. Hey Rich, Thank you for listening and liking the different sound here! Robert Hi Robert,
Came back for another listen. This so different from you i wanted make a return visit after a few days to see if I still liked it as much as I did the first time.
Yep - as much or even more! Hope you do a couple more like this off and on. Yeah - I like it a lot.
Alan Hi Al, I`m pleased that you gave this another whirl and very happy to have your support for my " strange" musical side... not finished exploring by any means! Robert Robert

Peter Peter, Thank you! Yeah, I can hear the Talking Heads in there too.Their kind of rhythms are a nice antidote to the folky styles where I mostly spend my time. Robert

Robert, stretching that comfort zone is how wonderful and unique sounds develop as far as I'm concerned! Your lyric is excellent as usual and you've got a catchy little thing happening in that chorus! Another good one from you! Thanks, Torrey
