Thus in the chorus Mick asks “the good Lord” to “shine a light on” this individual. This term can be interpreted in one of two ways. Upon its original conception, the singer likely meant it as an expression of his longing for a higher power to intervene favorably in the life of his friend. However, considering that the song wasn’t actually released until long after Jones passed away, it can also refer to Mick hoping that Brian is enjoying the afterlife in heaven.
“Shine a Light”“
With a smile on your face and a tear right in your eye
Whoa, come see to get a line on you, my sweet honey love
Berber jewelry jangling down the street
Making bloodshot eyes at every woman that you meet
Could not seem to get high on you, my sweet honey love
Make every song (you sing) your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun
When your late night friends leave you in the cold gray dawn
Just seen too many flies on you, I just can’t brush them off
With smiles on their faces and a gleam right in their eyes
Whoa, thought I heard one sigh for you
Come on up, come on up, now, come on up now
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you, yeah
Warm like the evening sun
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun, yeah, yeah”
With all the loss and sadness with COVID and this pandemic, these lyrics seem to fit well.
