When listening to a shuffled list of music earlier I heard "Shine On", a single by Ryan Cabrera from his album You Stand Watching. During the track I thought about how long it had been since a Cabrera song had been a major hit on the radio; "Shine On" was moderately successful in the second half of 2005 into 2006, but "On the Way Down" and "True" in 2004 and late 2004/early 2005 respectively - both from Take It All Away - were far bigger songs of his.
It's a shame that Cabrera has mainly been off the radar since "Shine On"; his music since that single has so far not reached the level of success his 2004 music attained, and a look for him in Google's news search comes up with articles about people named Cabrera, but they are almost exclusively about other people with his last name. Cabrera seems to be active, as a view of his website reveals that he has plenty of tour dates scheduled for the next couple of months.
Hopefully he'll return to prominence one day; for now, here's "Shine On":
