Weekly Shinedown - Song Forty Eight - Beyond The Sun!

Hey There!

Beyond The Sun has got to be one of the last Shinedown songs from Us And Them that I fully heard in it's downright. The time would have been around the middle of March 2015, which means that at the time, I had known about Shinedown for almost a whole year!

I honestly do feel that Beyond The Sun is my absolute style of song. The introduction is so calm, and acoustic. I also love the strumming of the acoustic guitar during this introduction, and also in the first verse of the song. But I have got to say that during the chorus, the rock guitars are tremendous, and it just makes me love the song even more.

My favourite line of Beyond The Sun is "let me be the fire in your head" because as well as the rock guitars really building up at this point, it just shows that the character in the song is really digging deep to somebody, wanting the be apart of them. I feel that the message behind the song is about a man who is afraid to love, and that "Beyond The Sun" is a metaphor for a destination that he feels he can never get to!

The chords of Beyond The Sun seem fairly straightforward, it's just a few Em's, C's, E's and G's. I reckon that I could handle that, so I'd better get learning at leaf one new Shinedown song this winter, since this time last year was when I started to play Second Chance and Unity very regularly.

Thanks ever so much for reading this week's post, and I hope to hear from you all soon!

I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Beyond The Sun below incase you're interested!

Speak to me
So I can understand your tongue
You seem rather fragile
It's been said
It's cold beyond the sun
Have you ever been there?

Communicating thoughts of ways
To never have to speak again
Let me be the fire in your head

Bring what's yours, I'll take what's mine
And meet you on the other side
We'll leave a sign so anyone can find us
A better place, a sweeter time
We won't need any wings to fly
A place beyond the sun

Look for me
The way you would if you were blind
Don't be so resistant
I've been known
To travel much too fast
Is that you in the distance?

Communicating thoughts of ways
To never have to speak again
Let me be the fire in your head

Bring what's yours, I'll take what's mine
And meet you on the other side
We'll leave a sign so anyone can find us
A better place, a sweeter time
We won't need any wings to fly
A place beyond the sun

Communicating thoughts of ways
To never have to speak again
Let me be the fire in your head

Bring what's yours, I'll take what's mine
And meet you on the other side
We'll leave a sign so anyone can find us
A better place, a sweeter time
We won't need any wings to fly
A place beyond the sun
