The song "Shine" confronts capitalism and our consumption as a society. The video was shot in Tulum (a town in Mexico which was renamed by the Spanish to mean "wall"), where Sunru took over a former luxury resort and painted messages of liberation on the walls, addressing the desecration of sacred lands for profit. The paint on his body reconnects him to tribal origins that he feels our world needs to once again embrace. The message is to worship this earth instead of material things, and keep the world in balance while never losing your shine.

"Enter Sandman" was the first hit single from Metallica and remains one of the most popular Metallica songs of all time. It employs what has been described as a "wall of guitars"— three rhythm guitar tracks of the same riff played by the same guitarist to create a "wall of sound." The lyrics have to do with going to sleep and the fears connected with that. The title refers to the Sandman, a character from Western folklore who makes children sleep. There are some words from a lullaby, and from a classic bedside prayer for kids. Enjoy the video!
