about

This is the first track that we recorded as a four-piece for the DanMingo project, although at the time, in my mind, it was called 'Emoticon'. I was just being a bit prescient, as usual (now it would be 'Emoji), so I thought it was just too clever. Often a pitfall I find myself in! So It was supplanted by DanMingo. Just a nice made-up word. Or is it my name for the person who most of the songs in this double album relate to? You decide.

lyrics

I don't know where you are,
you keep me waiting -
sending signals from afar.
Dark star.

And the doors are left ajar, but something fated -
makes you hard to reach as Mars... Dark star.

Dark star - so many hidden mysteries,
Dark star - so tell me what is your history?
Dark star.

We have been through something heavenly, we have been through something deep, dark star, dark.
We have felt the closest passion, but was it ever ours to keep?
Dark star, dark, dark star.

Dark star - so many hidden mysteries,
Dark star - so tell me what is your history?
Dark, dark, dark,, dark star.

All your hidden dreams, all your pain and suffering, everything you seemed to be.
You're my saviour, you're my curse - is there anything worse than denial? No, no...

I'm still waiting for you to open up your thoughts - is there anything, anything, anything I ought to know?

Dark... dark... dark star.
