Shiny goes back to the beginning of a relationship — that moment when you meet someone and they just take your breath away.

I remember that feeling of being completely struck by her. There was something about her presence, her energy, the way she carried herself. She seemed to shine, and I couldn’t quite believe I was the person she had chosen to be with.

That feeling became the heart of Shiny — being a little awed by the person beside you and wondering how you got so lucky.

A lot of life has happened since those early days, but some things haven’t really changed. She could still walk into a room today and make me feel a little bit like the guy who first met her.

Maybe that’s the best part of the song for me. Shiny is about the beginning of a love story — and realizing, years later, that the feeling is still there.
