about
One of the catchier tunes on the disc, I wrote and recorded this song for someone a while back and left it sitting as a demo. When I started getting ideas for doing a second acoustic record, this song fit in perfectly, so I re-recorded it.
Because the words in the title were sung out of order, I called it Sparkle "/" Shine. This song is a bittersweet fairy tale. Although it's a bit sullen, there is a child-like innocence and a glimmer of hope to the lyrics. There's a vulnerability to this song that is unique to the rest of the CD. It's one of the few left WITHOUT percussion.
Sonically, I wanted this whole record to shimmer. I wanted a sparkling production that was bright and lively with lyrics both light and intimate. This song embodied all of that.
lyrics
SPARKLE/SHINE
(Roush)
Make a wish
Reach for the sky
I hope you read your name in lights
Keep your focus
On the prize
I hope your dreams are finally realized
Sacrifice
And hold on tight
I still hope you enjoy the ride
And though we never stood a chance
I hope you find a greener place to stand
And shine like a diamond
In the moonlight
And sparkle like water
Under warm sunlight
'Cause you know it's your time to
Sparkle and shine
Like a bird
Who's meant to fly
I never would have kept you tied
But you my dear
Need to be free
You never would have let me say goodbye
Now shine like a diamond
In the moonlight
Sparkle like water
Under warm sunlight
'Cause you know it's your time
Sparkle and shine
Go change the world
With your light
But I'll never lose sight
Of the world
When you were just mine
Sparkle and...
Shine like a diamond
In the moonlight
And sparkle like water
Under warm sunlight
'Cause It's your time
To sparkle and shine
It's your time
Go shine
This Nashville trio make ultra-catchy indie rock (in the '90s sense of the term) with taut musicianship and a freewheeling spirit. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 2, 2021
The latest from Wren Kitz, on the always-great NNA Tapes, is a study in minimalism, with barely-there guitars and hushed vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 4, 2017
