Song 14 - You're my star by Stereophonics

It took me till the second line of this song to know that this would be a keeper in my eyes and whilst yesterday's song was 76 years old, this song is new to me as I have just found it as it is a bonus track on Stereophonics' newest album "Keep the Village alive"; but was in fact written for their greatest hits album. In fact it couldn't be much more different that "When you wish on a star", but you still feel a bright star at the heart of the song. It is realistic, which I think I said about  Mr Writer  but Stereophonics lyrics offer a very different inspiration to the ones written for Disney songs.

If you don't see the song sparkling like the stars then try again; the lyrics to me shout out to someone singing about the love of having someone there in their lives who is there without question. Someone who never fails to amaze or like the lyrics says "You make my Monday come alive". If this song isn't about love; then I don't know what is.

Having spend most of my life believing I would be the eternal bridesmaid; this song appears to me because when I met my hubby, I didn't believe that someone could make you feel the way he makes me feel. He is my source of inspiration and my best friend; and when I have felt although life was loosing light, he has filled it with all the stars in the sky just by being able to walk beside me. I hope I never forgot how lucky I am to have my own star right beside me.

The song was written in 2008 and received mixed reviews from the critics. Kelly Jones apparently refused to revel his muse for the song. Perhaps it was because they couldn't understand his inspiration and needed a story to understand the lyrics. To me sometimes you don't have to understand every little detail to understand the meaning of the song.
