About My Star

"My Star" was the Latvian entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2000, performed in English by Brainstorm. This was Latvia's debut entry, making them the last of the Baltic states to debut at the Contest. The song is compared by at least one author on the Contest to the work of Oasis, in that it is a pop song written in something close to the britpop style. Lyrically, the song deals with lead singer Renārs Kaupers (who wrote and composed the song under the pseudonym Reynard Cowper) and his feelings for his lover. He tells her that "I will follow my star till the end of my days/And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways" before asking her to "be my runaway-bride". The band's performance is also memorable. Kaupers danced in a relatively eccentric manner, provoking cheers from the audience. In late 2005, as part of his hosting duties at the Congratulations special, he was asked about his dancing abilities by co-host Katrina Leskanich. Kaupers' response that he danced very well prompted further cheers from the live audience as well as a repeat of his moves.

My friends gonna call me: hey dreamer
The stars you're watching are so far 
Tonight I know I will get there
By plane or by bus, right to my star
Pretend there are things you just don't know 
In spite someone's told you are so cute
You have to ask and I will show
The snow in the summer or so, so

If my star would fall
Or disappear at all

I will follow my star till the end of my days, 
And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways, 
And if you're join me I'll be your guide, 
Baby, 'never say never', be my 'runaway bride' 

My friends gonna tell me: just calm down
The clouds you're walking are so high
This is my chance, and I'll invite
All the dreamers and lovers to fly (fly).
I'm back from the future, life goes on,
But still I remember my promise
You have to ask and I will show
The snow in the summer or so, so

If my star would fall
Or disappear at all

I will follow my star till the end of my days, 
And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways, 
And if you're join me I'll be your guide, 
Baby, 'never say never', be my 'runaway bride' 

My 'runaway bride'
Hey, hey, hey,
Hey yeah

If my star would fall
Or disappear at all

I will follow my star till the end of my days, 
And my heart's gonna lead me through so many ways, 
And if you're gonna join me I'll be your guide, 
Baby, 'never say never', be my 'Runaway bride'

La, la, la,
Hey, hey
Be my 'runaway'
