Benny- The Wandering Star.MP3
One of my most poetic songs with a hidden meaning. I simply love the lyrics - it's like a fairytale. Also the song has a bit of magic in itself. Enjoy!
This band account is part II of my music: Projects with other artists, just for fun songs and many more. It is a section on my homepage www.hochmuth-online.de. Be excited - the result will be more than great ;-)
Story behind the song
It's about a boy who lives in a dark area behind a wall. The wall is separating the bright side (where there's sunlight, green grass etc.) from the dark part of the country. He is not happy about living there and asks a bright star to fall down and break the wall. He almost gave up hope that he will finally reach out to the bright side - and suddenly, the star fell down. One of my best lyrical songs in my opinion. There's a hidden message.
Lyrics
(VERSE I)
In a land, beyond your dreams
there is a boy, so small but never free
lives in a dark, and dusty place, there is a wall, protecting (a)nother place
and there's a star, up in the sky
so pure and true, made him forget about the lie
he fell in love, gave it a name
and knew immediately
life will never be the same
... and he sends a wish - to the wandering star
that it might see his tears and says "I know
who you really are"
but there's a thing bout stars - they're so far away
and out of reach
so he's asking for a "miracle" in his speech
(made tooo theeee staaaarr)
CHORUS
=======================
... and the wandering star
is watching from above
shines so bright on uns
fascinated from our love
and when he watches the star
there's a shimmering faith
that he might break the wall
and walks right up to
its place - to touch the star
(VERSE II)
He's never seen - the other side
of this old wall - where there's sunshine and there's light
so he just leans - against the wall
looks to the star - and sends a plea that it might fall
... and suddenly he stopped cause the star was cryin'
and all its tears turned into silver, fallin' right down from the sky
then it crashed down real fast, smashed against the wall
tore it apart and sends the silvry light
and the sunlight to the boy
CHORUS
=======================
... and the wandering star
is falling from above
and it cried for us
fascinated from our love
and when we watch the star
there's a shimmering faith
that it might break the wall
and we run down to where it stays
to touch the star
