It’s been a good while since we last wrote about Amy Milner. For those of you who don’t recall, Amy is one of our favourite artists and you can find our previous posts here.
Last month, Amy released her latest single – Shine Off. It seems fitting to write about it in October, and you’ll understand why:
World Health Organisation (2019, October 24).
World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health.

Shine Off was produced by Tim Larcombe (Halsey, Lana del Rey, among others) and it showcases the powerful voice – both literally and metaphorically – of Amy Milner. This single urges the importance of empathy and solidarity.
In true Amy Milner style, Shine Off is a dark, melodic, nostalgic and meaningful track that everyone should listen to word by word. And while you’re at it, feel the enormous warm hug Amy is giving to the world.
Hard to see you hit the ground
Harder still when you don’t make a sound
Why don’t you scream and curse and shout?
Why don’t you let the hurt flow out?
So I can help, so I can help
So I can help, I can help
Don’t let your worries ever take your shine off
Don’t let your worries ever take your shine off
Hate to see you turn around
Seem so alone, with so much on your hands
Why don’t you lean on someone else?
You know I’m here, just let it out
So I can help, so I can help
So I can help, I can help
Don’t let your worries ever take your shine off
Don’t let your worries ever take your shine off
Now and then things come to a head
Pour it out and then we can carry on
Lay it all down, tuck your demons in bed
Split in half every problem you share
Every problem you share
Don’t let your worries ever take your shine off
