==Background==
The original lyrics to "Shine" were much darker. [[Mark Holden]] was responsible for the success of her song "Shine", which Amorosi wrote for a friend from high school who committed suicide.
Amorosi says: "Mark changed a line in it. He said the song didn't work, or that one particular line in it didn't work. The line went 'Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna die' and he didn't like the word 'die'. He thought it was just wrong. We were all sitting around trying to find a substitute, and we were all stuck on the word 'try'. But Mark came up with the idea of changing it to 'shine' and it all came together.

I think it was a good outcome, because something that was tragic became positive, but... I could never go back to changing it to 'die' now. It is what it is. A lot of my music on ''The Power'' was very personal, because I suppose that's what sets me apart from the other songwriters. I'm very blunt and honest with melodies and lyrics. I like to get straight to the point. So I think with "Shine" I tried to make it uplifting but it was very, very personal - and quite an upsetting song."<ref name=RipItUp>[http://www.ripitup.com.au/interviews/8302 Rip It Up: Vanessa Amorosi Interview]</ref>

"Shine" is the third single from Australian singer-songwriter Vanessa Amorosi's debut album, The Power (2000). After its release on 15 May 2000, the ballad[1] debuted and peaked at number four on the Australian Singles Chart and earned a platinum disc from the Australian Recording Industry Association. On 29 January 2001, it was released in Europe, reaching the top 50 in Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. "Shine" won an APRA Award in 2001 for Most Performed Australian Work.[2]

"Shine" was adopted by airline Ansett Australia for their final advertising campaign before the company went bankrupt and had to shut down. "I jinxed them with my song!" Amorosi said. "That was heartbreaking, actually. We had some little goodbye parties and stuff. It was horrible".[3] Mark Holden covered the song in 2004 for his Live at the George Ballroom DVD/EP.

Background

[edit]

The original lyrics to "Shine" were much darker. Mark Holden was responsible for the success of her song "Shine", which Amorosi wrote for a friend from high school who committed suicide. Amorosi says:

"Mark changed a line in it. He said the song didn't work, or that one particular line in it didn't work. The line went 'Everyone you see, everyone you know is gonna die' and he didn't like the word 'die'. He thought it was just wrong. We were all sitting around trying to find a substitute, and we were all stuck on the word 'try'. But Mark came up with the idea of changing it to 'shine' and it all came together. That's Mark's magic. He has a great ear for music. He knows exactly what makes a hit.[4] I think it was a good outcome, because something that was tragic became positive, but... I could never go back to changing it to 'die' now. It is what it is. A lot of my music on The Power was very personal, because I suppose that's what sets me apart from the other songwriters. I'm very blunt and honest with melodies and lyrics. I like to get straight to the point. So I think with "Shine" I tried to make it uplifting but it was very, very personal - and quite an upsetting song."[3]

Amorosi sang "Shine" at the Opening Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Paralympics, which was broadcast in 80 countries. She also performed "Shine" at the 2002 Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Manchester.
