Weekly Shinedown - Song Forty Four - Lady So Devine!

Hey There!

Lady So Divine has got to be the longest Shinedown song ever recorded. However, this means that when I listen to it on repeat, I never get bored of it. It was around the beginning of February 2015 when I decided to listen to Lady So Divine more often than it just passively playing when I was listening to the full Shinedown album, Us And Them.

I remember around this time, I was doing a PE quiz, and my team name was Team LSD, because it stood for Lois, Sophie and Devon. But the whole time, I had Lady So Divine in my head, and I think after this date, I began to explore Lady So Divine in a lot more detail.

The meaning of Lady So Divine seems pretty straightforward. I reckon that it's about a guy who was on the wrong tracks, but then he met this woman who was able to change his life completely. The song seems to come in three parts. The part is about him describing this woman to us, and how he met her. The next couple of minutes during that absolutely beautiful riff are of how this woman was able to change his life around completely. And finally the last part is about how his life became different, and a lot more uplifting after he had met her.

My favourite part of the song is the first three minutes of Lady So Divine, because the song is so fresh, and it is so exciting and captivating. When Lady So Divine is played on the radio, they usually nay play this part, which is good, but at the same time, I think that they're really missing out on that terrific riff in the middle!

Sadly I can't find the chords anywhere for Lady So Divine, but from listening to the guitars playing in this song, it seems really complicated, like only a pro would be able to play it. It's been great writing some more about my Shinedown experiences, and I'd love to hear from you all so soon!

I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Lady So Divine below incase you're interested!

In an earthquake, in main space
Where I fell into you
In a starlight, you look so bright
You eclipse the moon
On a highway, just today
That's where I saw you
It was music from a distance
Burning proof

She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's here to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Lady so divine

When the waves break, and the soul shake
Wreckage from the night
On a mountain is a story
Told a thousand times
Of a garden, and a bed there
Made to rest our eyes
There's a comfort to a softness
That will not be denied

She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's here to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Lady so divine

The midnight sun, she saves me
From what I've become
The midnight sun, she saves me
From what I have done
What I have done

She's here to rescue me
Clear my mind, and set me free
If it's dark, she still shines
A masterpiece made by design
She's come to rescue me
Stain my mind with make believe
If it's dark, she still shines
She's my lady, so divine
Divine!
Divine!
Divine!
She's my lady so divine
Divine!
She's my lady so divine
Lady so divine, come and change my mind
Lady so divine
