his lyrics touched my life at a time when i was sadened by the loss of my father,i was 16 and i found comfort in the words of shine like it does ,i was an instant fan purchasing previous albums that was in 1986,his passion in his performances gave me joy and inspired me to sing out loud and write lyrics myself ,ive even named my son michale,which means joy and peace in my definition.because of his lyrics,i live today.GOD BLESS YOU MICHALE HUTCHENCE.
