Dance music from the early 2000s resonate with me quite a bit. It was something that was always played while at home or at school. Especially whenever I went to secondary school, some classmates with their phones (that we weren’t supposed to have) were banging out the likes of Darude, Scooter, Cascada.
At home, my father really enjoyed his dance music and would put on ‘Kiss’ or ‘The Box’ on the TV and if we were in the car, it was a pirate radio station, Energy 106.
There would be a rotating playlist on the TV, radio and my classmates phones which included ‘Shooting Star’,
Released in 2002 and appearing on the very first Clubland compilation album released in the summer of 02, it has always been a great song to sing and dance to.
Lyrics:
Where were you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned
Yes I need you by my side
When things go crazyI just need to know you care
Guarantee that you’ll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?I don’t care how far
I’ll take you there tonight
Just tell me where you are
And everything’s gonna be alrightJust tell me where you are, where you are, where you are
Like a shooting star across the midnight sky
From far from afar just to be with you tonight
Like a shooting star across the midnight sky
From afar from afar just to be with you tonightWhere were you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned
Yes I need you by my side
When things go crazyI just need to know you care
Guarantee that you’ll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?Like a shooting star
Like a shooting star across the midnight sky
Wherever you are you’re gonna see me fly
Like a shooting star across the midnight sky
Wherever you are you’re gonna see me flyWhere were you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned
Yes I need you by my side
When things go crazyI just need to know you care
Guarantee that you’ll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?Where were you to hold my hand
Do the things that we had planned
Yes I need you by my side
When things go crazy
I just need to know you care
Guarantee that you’ll be there
When I wake up in the night
Will you be my guiding light?
Spoken with you to hold my hand
