Story behind the song
It was motivated by seeing a girl singer called Sue trying her best to sing in a noisy bar where the crowd seemed more interested in talking and getting drunk and it just seemed so unfair because she was so good! It's a comment on the music business too. The picture is of the late Janice Pugsley who was a singer/songwriter and gifted artist who recently passed away and I know she liked this song and the sentiments it expresses. It seems fitting to use Janice's image here as a tribute and in her memory.
Lyrics
I first saw you standing in the spotlight Standing lovely, lonely on that cold night I saw you singing, singing through the moonlight I saw you sparkle, I saw you sparkle bright I saw you there singing your heart out I saw you singing through the clamour of these fools And you delivered something special On that special night Now I can see you and I can hear you You're not alone in the wilderness You're not alone in this sea of madness You're not alone in the music biz Girl singer, where are you now? I need to find you across this crowded city I need to find you across these desperate bars I need to find you through the halls and clubs of loneliness I need to find you on the road of falling stars I need to find you through all the teeming millions I need to find you through electric storms and dark I need to find you through all our crazy pathways I need to find you from right across the world Girl singer, where are you now On the road of falling stars?
