Song: Shine a Light
Performer: Spiritualized
Album: Lazer Guided Melodies
Writer: Jason Pierce

Transcribed by Aaron Heisler
(gravitygrave_resident@yahoo.com)

_Notes:_ An awe-inspiringly beautiful song. This is
far and away my favorite Spiritualized song: honest,
emotional, devastating, it balances the recurring
themes of love on Lazer Guided Melodies with an
atonishing glimpse into loneliness. It really eludes
words.

I've never seen a transcription of this song. This
song
is also widely available in live versions,
particularly
on the Royal Albert Hall double CD. That version is
considerably changed and is reliant on Jason's lead
guitars; as such, this transcription applies only
really to the studio version.

_Effects:_ Flangers and phasers are preferable
here folks, and a good echochamber can't hurt
either (to duplicate the live version you need
distortion as well)...

_Tuning:_ This song is played in standard tuning.
(EADGBe)
