Shining Road

Alison and Jim Shaw wrote it, and it opens Loved at 3:50. The single came out on August 22, 1994 on Dedicated and Arista; a music blog and Qobuz say it charted on the UK singles chart, but we found no peak position. Trouser Press called it an enchanting pop melody and rushing guitar pulse, and The Big Takeover describes up-tempo, rousing, Spanish-style strummed guitar, a fast-stepping beat, xylophone touches and dreamier vocals on the chorus. The US edition has a Brauer mix, and it is on the EP Collection Vols 1 & 2 (1997). It was used in the 1996 film Eye for an Eye and the short Scarborough Ahoy. We found no lyric meaning in the band's words, no video, no setlist.fm counts, covers or samples, and our upload is presumably the album version.
