Well, Sia’s always been a decent writer, let’s see what she’s turned up, now the that video’s ready. “Shine bright like a diamond” The easiest way to make a lyric memorable?

That Gavin DeGraw video has less than 2k views. Oh, come on! This song can’t expect a pleasant chorus to carry over half its run time! But that’s pretty much what happens–no wonder I keep tuning out once we hit the chorus.
