| Rainbow – Starstruck Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The song is about a really fanatic groupie who would keep following the band to every city they played in. One day, after finding out where he lives, she showed up (as in sneaking around in the bushes) at Ritchies house, and he sent his dogs after her. In retrospect, he said that he would "rather have invited her inn for tea". Apparently, even Ritchie Blackmore have started to show a little more of his soft side towards his fans. | |

I think many of you are very close, and have found very valid meanings in this song. Which is just as good as what I am to present. While I cannot give a source, I remember an interview where Ronnie James Dio explained the meaning behind the song. His inspiration for it was a princess and a stableboy falling in love, which fits perfect with the lines: "A bed of straw Against the lace" After all, a straw bed is something a poor person would have been sleeping on, while lace is a fabric only rich people could afford in any historical age. As you can see from the chorus, they would eventually be torn apart by the different worlds they belonged to. Then again, and I cannot stress this enough, there is not enough information in the song lyrics to get what the real story is, so like with many of his songs, Ronnie wanted us to find our own meaning in it. Therefore, the opinions presented here are just as valid as what Ronnie originally came up with. |
