About There's a Star

"There's a Star" is a song by Ash, released as the fifth single from their album Free All Angels, on 31 December 2001. It was released as a single CD (released on two CD formats, the first of which being an enhanced CD) as a 7" vinyl record and on DVD. "There's a Star" was a surprise hit for the band, reaching number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and giving them one of their best-selling singles, even though the single was deleted after one week. The song also reached number 38 in Ireland. The track was originally written for "Nu-Clear Sounds" like "Burn Baby Burn", but did not make the cut. The track was slightly re-written for "Free All Angels", and was always intentioned for a Christmas release. The track is very rarely performed live, and can also be found on the "Intergalactic Sonic 7″s" greatest hits collection.

Tonight there's no denying
No there's no denying
There's something magic in the air
Emotional disorder
Came from out of nowhere
And took me unaware
The patterns of the oceans
Lost in her emotions
You know that I don't care

And on nights when the north wind
Blows through your heart
Dream of a new age
And on nights when the north wind
Blows through your heart
All I can do is wait

There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be hoping for
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be dreaming for

Cool evening is falling
I can hear her calling
Cross the serpentine
Dark and chaotic
Slow and hypnotic
She comes into my mind
And tonight nothing matters
No it doesn't matter
Everything will be fine

And on nights when the north wind
Blows through your heart
Dream of a new age
And on nights when the north wind
Blows through your heart
All I can do is wait

There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be hoping for
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be dreaming for
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be wishing for

There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be hoping for
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be dreaming for
There's a star in the night sky
The kind of star we will be wishing for
There's a star in the night sky
