My two cents about Shine.. I know we like to speculate here a lot but couldn't it just be another song with the same name? Shine - that's one word, no uncommon and Jon is known to revisit song titles. I get the resemblance to WAN ballads but I think such song would end up Burning Bridges. When crap like We All Fall Down made it. And it isn't that special to be saved not the next album but the one after and shifted to be a bonus track.
Is the source from 2013 a reliable one? And I'm too lazy to check if the combination of songwriters was common at that time.

"If you got a dream, no matter what anybody tells you, if you think that you’ve got to go for it, then you should go for it, because you’ve got one life. And the next time somebody tells you: ‘You can’t do that’ you can tell them to screw themselves, because it’s your life and you do what the hell you want with it. So this is a song about having a dream and chasing it, till you find the Bright Lights." - Aldo Nova.
