Northern Star Lyrics
They tried to catch a falling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell
If all the history is true
Shes gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide
They build you up so they can tear you down
Trust the ocean youll never drown
Who is next? Whos gonna steal your crown? Youll see
I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Dont look back and dont give in to their lies and goodbyes
Northern Star
Fulfil the longing in your heart
Then we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true
They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul
Is it any wonder weve lost control?
Feelings come. Feelings go
I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Dont look back and dont succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Dont be someone who they forget
When youre lost reach out for me
And youll see shes not far
Northern Star
I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Dont look back and dont succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Dont be someone who they forget
When youre lost reach out for me
And youll see shes not far
Northern Star
Northern Star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell
Shes gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide
Trust the ocean youll never drown
Who is next? Whos gonna steal your crown? Youll see
The truth is out there I can tell
Dont look back and dont give in to their lies and goodbyes
Northern Star
Then we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true
Is it any wonder weve lost control?
Feelings come. Feelings go
The truth is out there I can tell
Dont look back and dont succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Dont be someone who they forget
When youre lost reach out for me
And youll see shes not far
Northern Star
The truth is out there I can tell
Dont look back and dont succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Dont be someone who they forget
When youre lost reach out for me
And youll see shes not far

This song is not about the EU!
I think I read somewhere it is about fame and the showbiz industry. It is about life in that environment and the lessons she's learnt. As a former Spice Girl she would have experienced the ups and downs of the industry.
Lovely song.
"On 31 May 1998, Halliwell announced that she had left the Spice Girls due to natural depression and differences between the group. The first official confirmation was an announcement to the media by her solicitor on 31 May." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geri_Halliwell
"Melanie C began her solo career in late 1998 by singing with Canadian rock singer Bryan Adams on the song "When You're Gone". Her solo debut album Northern Star was released in 1999."

The northern star is known as Polaris, the star that lets people find their way or guide them when traveling by any means. Read the lyrics to Melanie Chisholm's song as if Geri Halliwell were that star...
"They tried to catch a falling star. Thinking that she had gone too far. She did but kept it hidden well. Until she cracked and then she fell."
Something to think about, and also what the theme of the album is about.
this song is just adorable. I so love it!!!
i luv the lines "trust the ocean/you'll never drown" and "they build you up/so they can tear you down" and "they buy your dreams/so they can sell your soul"
She sings about a person "Northstar" Who is looking for a girl. Mel do not know if they will get together but she does her best for them to have contact with each other. The boy has come in at a state as he looks at the world in a different way. Mel carrying a cross on his shirt, so unlikely is that it is spiritual.
Ups and Down of someone's life
