Chris Bullinger’s husky voice serves as a nice contrast with the smoothly atmospheric melodies and gentle rhythms of “Shine.” In the video that mixes animation and pastoral settings juxtaposed with those more urban and late night we get a feel for the leisurely pace of the song and how its spare poetry and storytelling seems to be about chance connections we make if we’re not too caught up in being focused on what we’re “supposed” to be putting our energy into and just be a human open to experiences and being willing to give a little of ourselves back to the people we meet along the way in our lives as we live them without it having to be transactional or pragmatic. The song is in a folk pop vein and rather than demand too much of its listeners it invites you in with its leisurely energy and simple charm.
