Lyrics
When all you build starts to rust All that you dream turns to dust When all you control And all that you fear And every conceit And all that you care about And through it all this light shines within And we're living a magical life This is a magical life Living a magical life Miracle or fantasy Everything's gonna be fine All of your thoughts break in two All you believe seems untrue When you imagine That nothing is real You've nothing to show And only conceal And all the while this light is shining through Yeah, we're living a magical life Nothing too radical, hardly fanatical Living a magical life Strung-out like a working stiff Wondering that if it's true everything has a season I'm just a shell of a mortal man So I can't help but look for a reason And though we don't see the master plan, I hope these lights shine on... All the things you fight against, all the things you accept All you marvel at, all you expect When we're lost in the unforeseen Everything gonna be over by this time tomorrow All our possessions aren't quite enough Everything in this life is borrowed There's only one thing that we'll take with us, I hope these lights shine on... Living a magical life Nothing too radical, hardly fanatical Living a magical life Nothing too radical and I know These lights shine on...

Matt, you have the great attitude to bring me back in the 70´s with your music. This track reflects the spirit of the real prog-rock tradition.....I have great respect of the inspiration and innovation this music style brought to us. In the same way I respect and admirate your music efforts Matt, a great atmosphere, dramatic, lyrics, expressed in this "These Lights Shine On". You are a really talented musician, Kudo to you!! :)

Excellent in every way. I like the contrasting dramatic parts with the more mellow, melodic ones. Brilliantly composed, produced and performed. The 3/4 element is not immediately apparent, and I like the way it hides beneath this superb track.

This is one of those tracks that demands close attention and rewards each listen with new details. Lots of care and thought went into the crafting and performances - and quite a bit of time I'd imagine. Two thumbs up!

This was a very pleasant surprise for the online party, Matt! It has a retro sound of British progrock at it's best, all instruments played superbly and your vocals are absolutely great! Strong lead vocal and superb backing vocals. High class work that puts this on top of my list of the 3/4 challenge songs.
