“Love Shines” by Ron Sexsmith appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2011. It was first released in 2011 on the album Long Player Late Bloomer. Its best result is #84 on the WFUV Top 90 Songs of 2011. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #409 indie & aaa song of 2011.
Ron Sexsmith wrote "Love Shines" alone for Long Player Late Bloomer, his 12th album, released in 2011, and the name carries well beyond the track list. A camera crew trailed him through the sessions, and the film that came out of it, also called Love Shines, follows the Canadian songwriter's push to turn a niche following into mainstream success.
The gamble was the producer. Sexsmith made the record with Bob Rock, a heavy metal hand whose name is tied to Mötley Crüe and Metallica. The album made the Polaris Music Prize shortlist in 2011 and went on to a Juno nomination for Adult Alternative Album of the Year.
