I know we don’t all like the same genres, and not everyone will think “Shine” by Mondo Cozmo is brilliant, but the Bob Dylan-ish vocals and lyrics, plus the Tom Petty influence, make a compelling case.
Stick with me Jesus through the comin’ storm
I’ve come to you in search of something I have
Shine down a light on me and show a path
I promise you I will return if you take me back
Let ’em get high
Let ’em get stoned
Everything will be alright if you let it go
Who is “Mondo Cozmo?”
Ten years ago he was Joshua Ostrander and a member of the group known as Eastern Conference Champions or ECC. Now he’s gone solo, and is known as Mondo Cozmo.
A crazy name but a great talent.
If this “type” of music appeals to you, then ‘Shine” will likely top your list of new music.
I like this song, just heard it tonight for the 1st time. I cant find any info on the lyrics meaning. Any thoughts?
I was wondering the same thing. It seems like he is asking Jesus to guide him through Earthly trials. I was confused abou the chorus though.
Let ‘em get high
Let ‘em get stoned
Everything will be alright if you let it go.
What does the stoned and high mean? High and stoned on Jesus? Or, could it mean that Jesus will overlook the drug use if you ask for his help?
I like the song and am going to see him perform live in Austin this weekend at Stubb’s with Spoon. Never heard him before I saw him on the bill.
