Northern Star

The discussion in the office a little while back came down to who was better, Britney or Christina... while the answer there is really quite simple, it did beg a valid question (that went unasked) who was actually the best over this time.

Anyone remember the Spice Girls? Didn't really think so... okay, so how could you forget them - especially as a mate of mine is their biggest fan. But they didn't really stand the test of time. Guess that's the joy of popular music, it's popular because it's very much a fad at the time.

Today's song, "Northern Star" by Melanie Chisholm (Mel C) or better known as Sporty Spice made me realise just how underrated she was as an actual singer. Easily the best out of the five of them in my books.

"Northern Star" is one of those that you hear and it only really hits you much later. Ultimately we're all a star (something about that awesomeness pill) but we forget or simply lose a little light along the way. Ultimately we can all be that leading light for others, or even ourselves.

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.
She's 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 you'll never drown.
Who is next? Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see.

I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't 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 we've lost control?
Feelings come, feelings go.

I have learnt my lesson well.
The truth is out there I can tell.
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes.
Live your life without regret.
Don't be someone who they forget.
When you're lost reach out for me.
And you'll see she's not far.
Northern Star.
Northern Star.

No regrets, and while you're at it, might as well make it memorable.
