On 22 January 1990, The House of Love released the recorded and more popular version of their hit single "Shine On".
PopMatters listed "Shine On" as the 66th-best alternative rock single of the 1980s, praising the song for its "cinematic swirl of delicate beauty, with a thunderous rhythm and Terry Bickers' darkly shimmering guitar."
In a garden in the House of Love
Sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away
I need a sister
I'll just stay
A little girl, a little guy
In a church or in a school
Little Jesus are you watching me?
I'm so young
Just eighteen
She, she-she-she shine on
She-she-she shine on
She-she-she shine on
In a garden in the House of Love
There's nothing real just a coat of arms
I'm not the pleasure that I used to be
So young
Just eighteen
She, she-she-she shine on
She-she-she shine on
She-she-she shine on
I don't know why I dream this way
The sky is purple
Things are right every day
I don't know, it's just this world's so far away
But I won't fight and I won't hate
Well not today
In a garden in the House of Love
Sitting lonely on a plastic chair
The sun is cruel when he hides away
I need a sister
I'll just stay
She, she-she-she shine on
She-she-she shine on
She-she-she shine on
