What do you get when you mix a southern tent revival, a touch of New Orleans voodoo, and a whole lot of whiskey-fueled pain? The answer is Shine On Me, the latest single from California rockers The Ruins. This gritty, soulful track is a retro-infused journey into the darker corners of life and love, brought to life by the raw, emotional lyrics of vocalist Todd McTavish.

With a voice that cuts deep and a melody drenched in southern rock nostalgia, McTavish bares his soul, pulling listeners into a haunting narrative of struggle and redemption. The song's vivid imagery takes you on a shadowy drive down an old dirt road, deep into the heart of the Louisiana swamps, where pain and beauty intertwine.

Shine On Me isn’t just a song—it’s an experience. It’s a visceral exploration of the darkness we all face, tempered by the hope of finding light amid the shadows. The Ruins have crafted a track that’s equal parts grit, groove, and catharsis, proving once again their mastery of storytelling through music.
