about

A gleaming analogue Beatle-esque song about nostalgia, romance with the past, youth and childhood, growing up in the 80's. You didn't like synths when you were younger, now you love them. Captured by the past? Frozen in real time. The prophets are sounds of early childhood. Before music became a way of life. We were all stars back then, but that star is the guiding light for the now, not just a memory or thing to make wishes upon. Don’t waste too much time looking back.

lyrics

I'm the dawning of the day
I draw the clouds and watch them go away
'Cause I'm wasting all my time
I've been wasting all my time

Two sparrows hit the ground
Little do they know
There's no-one hanging round
I've been wasting all my time
I've been wasting all my time

Staring at a star called Youth

When darkness ceased to be
There'll be no-one hanging round except for me
I've been wasting all my time
I'll be wasting all my time

Two Sparrows hit the ground
Little do they know
That I've been hanging round
I've been wasting all my time
I've been wasting all my time

Staring at a Star called Youth
Staring at a Star called Youth

I've been wasting all my time
I've been wasting all my time

Staring at a Star called Youth
Staring at a Star called Youth

Staring
Staring
Staring
Staring
Staring
