Let Your Dim Light Shine Let Your Dim Light Shine Let Your Dim Light Shine is the seventh album from the band Soul Asylum, released in 1995. Critically, it suffered in comparison to its predecessor, "Grave Dancers Union", the band's breakout release. It includes the hit "Misery," which was parodied by "Weird Al" Yankovic as "Syndicated Inc." on his album "Bad Hair Day". This was the first Soul Asylum album with drummer Sterling Campbell. He provided half of the drums on "Grave Dancers Union". The album's title comes from a lyric of the song "Promises Broken." Actress Trini Alvarado provided backing vocals on three songs.

Among its recurrent theme is that 'stopping the time' and reaching the 'magic in moment' ("The thought has no means to fathom depths/ No means to slow down the running Spring/ It can, though, say Stop! to time/ Break down its own chains and now be chained by Dream"). Fire, the earthly 'face' of the Sun, holds special place in Balmont's scheme of things. "Russian literature has never known such fire-worshipper, as Balmont was," biographer Nikolai Bannikov wrote.
