As we told you in the mp3 post, this is the only track which is not a cover of some other artist’s song.
“Shine” also features in Academy Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim’s upcoming documentary film Waiting for Superman, which examines the US public school system.
The song was “completely inspired from seeing the film and seeing the stories of the children in the film,” Legend told USA Today earlier this year, “because it follows these kids who have potential, have a certain desire to do well.”
