Tell you what, my week has been a big stinky piece of garbage. There was a big rain here a couple of days ago and my bedroom sort of flooded and my internet died. Therefore, I'm leaving the posts about the last two Melbourne gigs for the weekend, when hopefully things will go back to normal.
So let's talk good things. On December 12th, 2006, the band was releasing one of the most important singles of their history. Shine On was released and today we're getting to know a bit more about it.
"Shine On" is a song by Australian rock band Jet, and is the seventh track on their second album 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 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.

SHINE ON - LYRICS
Please don't cry
You know I'm leaving here tonight
Before I go I want you to know that there will always be a light
And if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away
So many times I've planed
To be much more than who I am
And if I let you down I will follow you ‘round until you understand
That if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away
When the days all seem the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on, for everyone
So please don't cry
Although I leave you here this night
Where ever I may go how far I don't know
But I will always be your light
That if the moon had to runaway
And all the stars didn't wanna play
Don't waste the sun on a rainy day
The wind will soon blow it all away
When the days all seem the same
Don't feet the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on, for everyone
When the days all seem the same
Don't feet the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
I will shine on, for everyone
