Lyrics:

Not going to that party because she’s afraid to be seen
By all the girls who think they’re smarter with waists a little smaller
She was only sixteen

And she'd give anything just to feel like she’s beautiful too
But she just couldn’t trust she was more than enough
Girl I’ve got something to tell you

Hold your head up, honey let your hair down
Don’t you cover up
Who you trying to impress now
Cause one day when you grow up
You’ll find that all your scars they make you beautiful
And from within is how you really shine

Driving off to college dreaming up who she could be
Left that girl back in the city, fears behind her fading quickly
She was only eighteen

But she’d still give anything just to feel like she’s beautiful too
She just needed to trust she was more than enough
Here’s what they won’t tell you

Hold your head up, honey let your hair down
Don’t you cover up
Who you trying to impress now
Cause one day when you grow up
You’ll find that all your scars they make you beautiful
And from within is how you really

Shine
Even when you feel you’re broken
Shine
Even when it’s hard to hold onto the better parts of you
Yeah...

Hold your head up, honey let your hair down
Don’t you cover up
Who you trying to impress now

Cause one day when you grow up
You’ll find that all your scars they make you beautiful
And from within is how you really
Shine

Even when you feel you’re broken
Shine
You can come to me with arms wide open
Shine Shine Shine Shine
Cause from within is how you really shine

ABOUT SHINE:
I wrote the song as a love letter to my younger self and everything “me now” would tell “me then.” (You are beautiful, you are strong. Hold your head up and honey let your hair down sometimes). I want this song to be an anthem for not just millennial women like myself, but ladies everywhere. Life’s hard right now, and I just hope this song & video gives everyone a much needed dose of optimism and happiness.

The music video is inspired by/a nod to the cult classic film “Never Been Kissed” starring Drew Barrymore, but you don’t have to be a fan of the movie to enjoy it! I’m the BIGGEST FAN of that movie and there are so many thematic parallels with the film and SHINE (not to mention the old me/young me juxtaposition Drew Barrymore’s character goes through going back to high school AGAIN. So I dropped some obvious and not so obvious clues throughout for fans to pick up on. Also, I used Leelee Sobieski’s character of Aldys as my inspiration for ‘younger me” in the video. I was basically her in high school 10 years ago: Nerdy as hell and learning how to break out of my shell and really shine. She’s also my doppleganger. Seriously.

So, ever since I was little people would randomly walk up to me in the grocery store and say “hey, you really look like that one actress from “Never Been Kissed.” Yep - Leelee Sobieski. I’ve been getting it my whole life now and she’s kind of my celeb look-alike. At least according the random people and those celebrity doppleganger generators :) I recreated some of the looks Lee Lee wore in the film, including that famous denominators mathletes moment. Part of me hopes Leelee will see this video and we’ll become long-lost sisters. That would be cool. She such an incredible, smart, strong and creative woman!
