‘Shining Light’ was Ash’s first single from their third full length, and second number 1, ‘Free All Angels’. Released in January 2001 it was Ash’s fourth Top 10 single.‘Shining Light’ saw Tim Wheeler awarded with an Ivor Novello and consolidated Ash’s reputation for a run of extraordinary singles.
Drawing inspiration from Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, ‘Shining Light’ won the Irish Music Best Single Award and has since been covered by Annie Lennox for her greatest hits and live by Coldplay.
The video was directed by Tim Wheeler’s cousin Darren Tiernan. Tim went through David Blaine style torture as he was submerged for the guts of a day in this water tank.
‘Shining Light’ was closing song of the last episode of science fiction TV series Roswell and has featured in Channel 4’s Teachers.

Any song that can include the words epiphany, incandescent, constellation, firmament & canopy in it is always going to be a winner in my book
Wordsmiths !
when tim wheeler was at his peak writing lyrics and songs
or the words "dietary restriction" lol!
And celestial, sovereign and intervention!
I know! You don't get lyrics like this very often.
Definetly one of the most underrated bands ever.
Well most of their songs weren’t that good really
You obviously know very little about music then
Poser band poser singer with a feeble voice
Fair enough to each their own but I personally have to disagree with that. I think a lot of Ash songs are Good 🙂 @@adamwatson2914
@@adamwatson2914 ouch
This won an Ivor Novello songwriting award and deservedly so. It's guitar driven shimmering pop at it's best with a gorgeous melody. Best song of 2001. Probably one of the best of the last 25 years. The view count is a disgrace, considering it was a hit at the time aswell.
It is probably worth remembering this was released in 2001, when the words 'social media' hadn't even entered the public consciousness yet. I was 12 years old when this song was released, and I remembering it getting an absolute ton of radio play and the video was shown constantly on music video channels. This song was BIG, but that was at the time 22 years ago, and something being big in its day isn't always represented in current-day social media analytics
@@alexedworthy3441 that is a really good point, also a two edged sword. Stuff that was amazing then really actually stood out and had die hard fans, but maybe didn't get the exposure, now stuff that is amazing has the whole internet to find it and most stays completely submerged by what sells.
This is a classic song. Really great songwriting. Criminal it's only got 550k views
90s was hands down the best era for UK indie music.
This songs up how love feels when it comes along
You know you have done well when Annie Lennox covers your song.
Terribly, as well.
That version makes me cringe
This so criminally underrated
97 thousand views? Are you kidding me? This is one of the best songs ever penned to paper..
My thoughts exactly! It's genius!
greatest song of all time in my book
when tim wheeler was at his peak penning lyrics and writing songs
The song was made before UA-cam and not uploaded on here until 10 years after the song's release. So probably would have been millions if it was uploaded when it was released in 2001.
Aà
This song has sentimental meaning in my life. I’m 37 and it reminds me of a transitioning period I once went through while recovering from a trauma and I’m not afraid to admit that I’m almost 38 and getting teary eyed by writing this.
Ash means so much to me and Im 56
@@richardIII3 age doesn't apply to things like these.
Ash are great, nothing but love to you
It can be so difficult to be strong and persevere through trauma. Music certainly helps immensely!! Sending good vibes your way 💖✨️🎶
Respect for that G.. I hope you feel way Awesome now.
BBC One Northern Ireland played this at the end of the last programme to be broadcast on Analogue Tevevision. (The Magic Box) I still remember that and it made me cry. It was a simulcast with UTV.
Has to be one of the best songs of the 2000’s... So underrated, such a shame...
Nah, it won an Ivor Novello and was in the top 10 for like 5 weeks (back when the charts mattered lol). I think it's plenty rated.
@@usxnews1834 what that person meant I guess was a lot of people aren't familiar with it just because it didn't chart in the US and other parts of asia, they're a top 25 band of all time for me tho
I agree
Annie Lennox agreed and covers it. If you pay attention to this video a picture of Elvis is hanging above him in the hospital bed. Annie Lennox is giving me strong Elvis vibes in her jumpsuit in her interpretation of the song.

Coming to every land..welcome ! ❤
Any Indonesian here? Mustang FM playing this song a lot back then when i was in middle school and im instantly obsessed with this song... Now I'll be 34 this Halloween, mom of 4, suddenly feel like a teenager again, god my eyes sweatint
here here, this is one of my fav song of all times. i remember writing the lyric in my 'songs lyrics' book, and try to translate the sophisticated words in the song.
Ok mantap broh
Hadir

My favourite Ash song. I was obsessed with Girl from Mars and couldn't see pat it even though i love all the bands work that was my favourite until Shining light. Beautiful song with great chorus and guitar.
Album was and still is a hidden gem in Brit pop
Agreed! ❤️
I walked down the aisle to this song at my wedding :-)
Me too.
Thats soo cute🥰
Good taste!!
It's very repetitive, kind of like marriage.
Really ? Do you have a video of it ? Tnx
OMG this is legend song, I born on 92's and my mum always playing this song when I was a kid,
based mom
I forgot how good this song is. “Roman candles that burn in the night” is one of the most unique, lines of lyrics ever.
Proud to say they’re Northern Irish
ye up the derry boys!
Irish so then?
@@thomasburke1081 Nah British 🇬🇧 God bless Norn Iron!
That's a nice comment. Much love. You light up my life mate.
I didn't know that, always thought they were yanks. Nice.👍
Can recognize ashs whole discography due to my mum owning all the cds and playing it in her beat up renault meg driving me and my siblings around
I saw Ash recently (aug 2024) and they were brilliant
Was one of my favourite Ash songs growing up...reminds me of Summer holidays.
Same. Where did my youth go?
...just dont :(
Saw them Friday night. Brilliant set. Go see them.
@@robmason9038 Saw them about 5 years ago! Still one of my favourite gigs! Glad you enjoyed it!
I had never heard of the band Ash until I heard this song at the ending scene of the American t.v. series Roswell. The original Roswell. And I liked it so much that I found out who the band was and started buying their CDs. Still love Ash's songs.
Never ceases to amaze me, the bands with millions of views and the bands with thousands.They always seemed to go under the radar, just like this song. We know though, don't we : )
We do ;)
Check out “Feeling The Moment” by Feeder. You’ll like it.
@@heelgill echo park is my favorite album from them. Every song is pure gold.
@Dan Dugan Never heard of that one, thank you!
Annie Lennox loved it enough to cover it. If you pay attention to this video a picture of Elvis is hanging above him in the hospital bed. Annie Lennox is giving me strong Elvis vibes in her jumpsuit in her interpretation of the song.

Boy do I get teary eyed with this.
Same
One of the great songs imo and deserving of far more views. A simply beautiful song.

It's pure class. Cheers.
This songs is defined as a blending between britpop and pop punk, outstanding
This song, and James' "she's a star" are my two fav"s... just makes me wanna boogie 😁
I had never really put much attention on the lyrics when it was released due to the catchy melodies, but man the lyrics are pure work of genius.
Great tune, I’m 37 and loved as as a teenager and just rediscovered this song 😚
Songs are book Mark's in our life....👍👍👍👍
You are shining light💙🤟
This is one of the most underplayed songs ever.It's right up there with my fave Ash songs.
This song not only reminds me of my youth (now 44) but also makes me think of my therapist who sincerely is the light in my life ❤ this song is just perfect and perfectly describes how I feel alive again thanks to one heaven sent therapist ❤
One of the best songs ever
I love this song, regards from mexico
Ah the memories! The beautiful memories this song bring back to me....
The greatest indie love song. A thing of beauty. What a song!
Roswell is one of my favourite TVD in a long list of best TVDs . This song echoes a far away soul who loves someone very much . I am head over heels in love with this song . Yes . A chip of yesterday sounds soothing to my ears 👂.
The lyrics are fantastic and I love the song I also love Annie Lennox version
It's awful (Lennox that is).
One of the best love songs of all time
Hearing this for the first time in possibly over a decades made me emotional. This was one of my fave songs when I was mid teens. It gave me so much hope for love, & well now 40 and still no divine intervention or constellations going on for me 😔 Ask is so great the 2x I saw them live❤
Lyrics:
Roman candles that burn in the night
Yeah you are a shining light
You lit a torch in the empty night
Yeah you are a shining light
Yeah you light up my life
You have always been a thorn in the side
But to me you're a shining light
You arrive and the night is alive
Yeah you are a shining light
Yeah you light up my life
We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
But by dark divine intervention
Yeah you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David's city
An epiphany, you burn so pretty
Yeah you are a shining light
You are a force you are a constant source
Yeah you are a shining light
Incandescent in the darkest night
Yeah you are a shining light
Yeah you light up my life
We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
But by dark divine intervention
Yeah you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David's city
An epiphany, you burn so pretty
Yeah you are a shining light
These are the days you often say
There's nothing that we cannot do
Beneath a canopy of stars
I'd shed blood for you
We made a connection
A full on chemical reaction
But by dark divine intervention
Yeah you are a shining light
A constellation once seen
Over Royal David's city
An epiphany, you burn so pretty
Yeah you are a shining light
Yeah you light up my life
Yeah you are a shining light
Yeah you light up my life
Oh ho ho wow that's not what I've sung for 15+ years.... :D
Tim is stunningly ethereal in this video. 😍
He is incredible! ❤️
I remember seeing them do a cracking live version of this in Jools Holland that I had on DVD once, great band, great song, great days
My favourite indie song of all time,the lyrics,the upbeat tempo,I feel like I can fly listening to this…ash are a little gift from the gods.’1979
Classic
A perfect pop song
Such a great song.
Great song and video. From a time when there was still great music in the charts.
Yep, a hangover from the 90s before popular music crashed and burned.
Sublime, always was. Thanks for the memories.
beautiful song.
this reminds me of my dad the legend he is

One of my favourite pop punk early 2000s hits ,.( i miss this "Era🤔
By god this is poetry... nice bunch of guys too boot
still gets me everytime
Just such a beautiful song, heartfelt lyrics and melodies. This was the song that I said was our song to my then GF, now wife of nearly 10 years....나는 당신을 영원히 사랑합니다
My favourite song for years....remember diving off Sharm El Sheik, on a liveaboard, with this great song blasting across the Red Sea...
Great lyrics 👏
I'm in love with this song ❤
Brilliant song2021💕💕
Always reminds me of a cousin that passed that introduced me to a lot of movies and music.
Beautiful song. I always remembered this song from my mind. Nice positive vid. It's interesting,shows the guy seeking to live to resist distractions and striving to go to the Light.
gosh.. I miss those sweet old days.
This was our first dance last Sunday 😍😍
Wonderful track.
Saw them at Manchester Academy 2001.
Was simply stunning.
One of my favorite songs..
In 16 trips to Glastonbury, the only band, apart from the late great Joe strummer who i took the time to go and watch.
And being from Northern Ireland, them stiff little fingers and soda bread make me proud
What a song! So many great ones!
Love this but the cover by Annie Lennox elevated this song to another level. Annie makes it such a joyous, spiritual even song. A must listen
Remember this so well.
Absolutely love this...🇮🇪
Is this my favourite song? It might be…
Great song 💚old days being brought back
Unbelievable band girl from mars my fave
Awesome 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Good band. Come back Ash we miss you.
Tune!
23 years in London 10 years back in ireland. I love your music x
I absolutely love this song.
LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!
I love this song
Depressing that this song won an Ivor Novello and with so few views.
This is one of my faves ever, with temper trap, sweet disposition, and lately handpan music which is fab for meditation or having a good old soak in the bath
Beautiful lyrics
Possibly the greatest Irish 7"single.
Teenage Kicks?
Love both songs.
@@markfinazzi7226 Teenage kicks isnt even close to being the undertones finest song.

Roswell for ever!
I think this version with the guitar chord at the end is unique to the video, I haven't heard it anywhere else
