"Shining Light" is a song by Ash, which was released as the first single from their album Free All Angels.

The song had been covered by fellow Downpatrick songwriter Triona in 2015 which featured on a Power NI advert.

Wheeler was driving home in his car when the line and tune "Yeah you are a shining light" came into his head.

"Shining Light" was first played at a London Astoria gig in 2000, and is considered to be one of the band's greatest achievements, musically and lyrically.

It consists of footage of the band messing around in Puerto Banus, Spain, where Free All Angels was being recorded and climaxes in a burning of a piano.

"Gabriel" also appears on CD1 (as well as on the Cosmic Debris collection) and is considered to be quite a retro-sounding Ash track, reminiscent of "Innocent Smile" on 1977.

"Feel No Pain" is the first b-side on CD2, and was one of the leftover tracks from the Free All Angels recording session.

"Shining Light" features as a background track in Season 2 Episode 9 of the Channel 4 TV Series, "Teachers" The version recorded by Annie Lennox was used as Elaine Hammond's (Sigourney Weaver) theme song in the US mini-series Political Animals.

The single became Lennox's first UK top 40 hit as a solo artist since 1995, reaching number 39.
