about
"Stars" is our band's musical epic, born out of a poem and a few guitar chords which our singer, Murray, wrote while lying in a hammock next to a lake on a fishing trip. After presenting it to the band, the song essentially wrote itself. It's since taken on a life of its own, becoming a fan-favourite at our live shows with its musical twists, turns and dynamic shifts. There's always a surprised reaction when people hear "Stars", and you too can finally experience it through the official studio release! It's a song that speaks for itself...
lyrics
LYRICS:
Through the wind and misguiding stars
I wandered the Earth alone so far
Welcome to my salvation
I was living in the lonely nation
To be the symphony of life and bliss
Contracted to those who reminisce
I have no sons or daughters
Am I as guilty as the water?
This is our life amongst the stars
I cry for the men on Mars
This is my home, I'm here to stay
Join me to the end of days
To the end of days
Mmm, my friends, it's time to hear
Forget all that you fear
Be the solution in spite of dominion
We are the life contrasting a sky of damnation
Forget the Earth we once knew and had faith in
Rekindle your kindness in humanity
And live your life, oh, live your life (Live your life, live your life)
And live your life (Oooh)
This is our life amongst the stars
I cry for the men on Mars
This is my home, I'm here to stay
Join me to the end of days
To the end of days
This is our life amongst the stars
I cry for the men on Mars
This is my home, I'm here to stay
Join me to the end of days
To the end of days (To the end of days)
