Duff had the following to say about the song, a cover of a song by Wool bassist Al Bloch.
“This is an Al Bloch song. It was kind of a depressing story about
A white-trash life with no way out. But this kid in the story is fighting
His way out. And I reinterpreted it as, anybody can do that, get out...
Sister's in the old barn, sleeping off a big storm
Brother's at the pool hall, thinking all his bad thoughts
Papa's in the cellar, sneaking off a quick drink
And god is up in heaven, no one cares what he thinks
Shinin' down, shinin' down
Mama's living in her grave, buried with the frying pan
I'm just sitting on the porch, waiting for the mailman
Papa doesn't have much hope, he wishes things were better
When I get a chance to leave, it's gonna be forever
Shinin' down, shinin' down... Yeah!
"At night sometimes I take a walk, down by
The power lines
Somewhere I can be alone, sit and smell the ozone"
God says "don't you be afraid"
He can make it better
If I get a chance to leave, it's gonna be forever
Shinin' down, shinin' down, shinin' down, shinin' down
Shinin’ Down was written by Al Bloch.
Shinin’ Down was produced by Noel Golden.
