Shine

Time to wrap it up...

[Strict dictators read "Highlights for Kids" magazine. Who knew?!]



[Suddenly a very bright light fills the waiting room!]
[Everyone gazes up at the light in awe.]



[Even the tutu-wearing bouncer seems impressed.]
[The schizophrenic is lowered from the ceiling, still holding his number in his mouth.]



[He manages to break free of his straight jacket and wave his arms wildly.]

[With another bright flash of light, we change settings to a stage with the hippie, Eskimo, dictator, and the bouncer all dancing, along with a couple of blue-dress-wearing women. Strange video.]

Shine!
Make 'em wonder what you've got.
Make 'em wish that they were not



On the outside...
...looking bored. Shine!
Let it shine before all men.



Let 'em see good works...

[Well, lookie who finally made it. Hi, Phil.]



... and then

Let 'em glorify the Lord.

[Okay, not this is just cool. Grab Duncan and...]



[...FLIP him over! Weeee!]
[Their human pyramid didn't last too long, I'm afraid. Jeff collapsed and John came tumbling down. Poor John. Leg cramp, falling off a pyramid. This must have been a tough shoot for him!]

[Fun with split screen. The screen is split right down the middle. The left and right sides of the Newsboys' faces were not recorded at the same time, which means their eyes don't move together, their eyebrows are doing different things, their mouths look odd, etc. It's a very strange effect. It also makes each of them look quite different. Can you tell who we're looking at?]

Shine!
Make 'em wonder what you've got.
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside looking bored.



Shine!
Let it shine before all men.
Let 'em...



...see good works...
...and then
Let 'em glorify the Lord.

Shine! Make 'em wonder what you've got.

[The Newsboys all charge forward as an overhead camera keeps up with them.]

On the outside looking bored.

[Random milling around. Phil dances with his jacket. It's odd. Jody is waving his hands at the camera. Duncan is doing a rather cool dance. John is spazzing (when is he not?). Peter is shoving Duncan out of the way with a huge grin on his face. And Jeff is barely visible behind John, so I don't know what he's up to.]



   
Shine!

Let it shine before all men.

[Phil is still doing his jacket dance as John and Peter bounce Duncan up in the air. Meanwhile, Jody is attempting to shove both Peter and Phil at the same time. I want to know what they fed these guys before they made this video!]



Let 'em see good works...

[More strolling under the overhead camera.]

... and then

[The Newsboys are playing leap frog! On the far left we have Duncan jumping over Jeff. John (not visible at the moment) is jumping over Peter in the middle. Jody is hopping over Phil on the right. I wonder: have these guys ever played Duck Duck Goose?]



Let 'em glorify the Lord.

[Someone swings by with a Bible reference for us to look up.]



...

Shine!

[More chaotic running around brings the Newsboys' portion to an end.]



[Here they crowd around the camera for the final shot.]
[But that's not quite the end of the video. Our Asian friend from the beginning of the video has a light that she needs to let shine. She's not about to keep it under a bushel.]



[One set of curtains closes behind the candle.]

 

[A second set closes in front of the candle to end the music video.]

 

It's a kooky video, but there it is! Ready for more media fun? Then head on back to the media section.
