Weekly Shinedown - Song Sixty Seven - Burning Bright - Sanford Mix!

Hey There!

The last time that I posted about Burning Bright was back in April 2015, and now I am here to do the Sanford Mix! So it must have been mid-June 2015 when I heard this song properly, and by this point, you would be pleased to know, that all of my exams had finished, and that I had left school for good, so it was the start of a very long summer for me. Best of all, this means that I was able to listen to as much Shinedown when I wanted!

Brent Smith's meaning behind this song is honestly wonderful. Basically, he said that to is about during hard times, where you have to find your inner strength to overcome your fears, because in the darkest hour, you are the only one that can find the light! Such a strong meaning; I honestly couldn't have put it better myself!

Throughout the entirety of this song, there is such a relaxing vibe, and it really chills me out. My favourite part is definitely the introduction, because especially where the drums and guitars really kick in, the sensation becomes so powerful, and it appears so strong!

It's been many months since I looked at the chords for this song for the first time, and still, I am unable to play than Bm chord! But anyway, I hope that you've enjoyed reading this week's blog post, and that you'll come back for more from me in the future!

I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to Burning Bright - Sanford Mix below incase you're interested!


I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
Now and then I consider my hesitation

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright

I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
Here and now, I'll express my situation

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning

There's nothing ever wrong but nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction, I know I crossed the line
It's not easy to define, I'm born to indecision
There's always something new some path I'm supposed
To choose with no particular rhyme or reason

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning

I feel like there is no need for conversation
