Shine
Super Flu Lyrics

Barclay James Harvest, The
Barclay James Harvest
The Sun Will Never Shine
In corridors of air the clouds were waiting there
They knew that never again the skies would be so blue
They took away the sun and with it took the fun
It's true, and now there is really nothing i can do
So i look outside my window at the sheets of pouring rain
And i wonder if the sun will come again
But the sun will never shine the way it used to do
The clouds won't let it through
Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you
The clouds won't let it through

It wasn't long ago the people that i knew were glad
And nothing they ever thought about was sad
But since the sun has gone their laughing times are none
That's bad, to make them forget the happy times they've had
So they look outside their window at the sheets of pouring rain
And they wonder if the sun will come again

But the sun will never shine the way it used to do
The clouds won't let it through
Oh the sun will never shine its smile for me and you
The clouds won't let it through

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Super Flu's song Shine seem to capture the feeling of hopelessness that comes with the absence of sunshine. The song tells a story of how the clouds have taken away the sun and with it, the fun. The clouds have blocked the sun's rays, casting a dreary shadow over everything. The song's writer cites a sense of helplessness as there is nothing they can do to change the situation. Despite looking out of the window in anticipation of the sun's return, the writer seems to conclude that the sun will never shine the way it used to, and the clouds won't let it through.


As the verses continue, the writer shifts from their experience to the people they know. They recall a time when everyone around them was happy and carefree, and nothing seemed to dampen their souls. Still, their laughter has been replaced with feelings of sadness ever since the sun went away. The people they once knew now look out their windows at the pouring rain, wondering if the sun will ever come back.


Overall, the lyrics to Shine are poignant and reveal the importance of the sun's energy in our daily lives. The meteorological phenomenon of rain showers and cloudy skies is often not welcome, and Super Flu's song suggests that their absence can lead to deep-rooted melancholy.
