Weekly Shinedown - Song Sixty Eight - Shed Some Light - Live Acoustic From Kansas City!

Hey There!

Back in November, I wrote one of my favourite blog posts to date, which was the original version of Shed Some Light. It has always been such a meaningful song to me, especially since it really links to the testimony of my cousin Joel back in the past, but you would have to read by original post for the full story.

Back in Summer 2015, when my Uncle Peter would take me and my friends out for road trips to various places, he thought that it would be a brilliant idea to let us listen to Shinedown's live album called Somewhere In The Stratosphere, and of course he was right! Later when I got home, I decided to listen to this album for myself, and when I got to Shed Some Light Acoustic, I honestly fell in love with the song right from the beginning!

The introduction is honestly the most wonderful that I have ever heard. The soft piano introduction just gives you so much time to reflect, and I don't think that words can describe my love for this introduction. The piano then consistently plays at the beginning of the song, with a light guitar trimming in the background, and altogether, it fits perfectly!

I remember watching the full concert DVD of Shinedown in Kansas City, and Brent Smith was telling the audience that it was his father's favourite song, and it always reminded him of his grandfather. And all in all, the meaning behind the song touches me!

Over the past few days, I re-discovered this song whilst flicking through some old Shinedown songs, and it brought back so many lovely amazing memories that I haven't been able to stop listening to this song recently.

Last of all, I am completely gutted that I haven't been able to find the piano sheet music to this amazing masterpiece because I would give anything to be able to learn to play it on piano! If anyone can find a source online, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much for the support that I have been given recently, and I hope that you continue to read further posts from me in the future!

I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Shed Some Light Live Acoustic From Kansas City below incase you're interested!

I'm falling apart again

And I can't find a way to make amends
And I'm looking in both directions
But it's make believe, it's all pretend

So...
Shed some light on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe in

It's innocence within the maze
But I have chosen the wrong way
I'm still getting over who I was
There's no sense of trust, there's no definition of love

So...
Shed some light on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe in

I know now, it's not who you are
It's who you know
And I see clearly now, which way to go
I remember the way I fell from above
And I recall the way I was

So...
Shed some light on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe in
Shed some light on me
And hold me up in disbelief
And shed some light on me
And tell me something that I'll believe
Tell me something that I'll...
Tell me something that I'll believe
Tell me something that I'll believe
Something I'll believe
