Lyric Video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y9137Sy3mY

The song sets the mood of trekkers making their way through the snow under the starlight.

Touanda: "I wrote the lyrics loosely based on my experience moving abroad and leaving everything and everyone behind. It was not intended to sound sad, but maybe it did a bit in the end..."

lyrics

Here’s my helmet you can borrow
I’m leaving here tomorrow
And try to make those feelings disappear

I just thought you should know
I heard it on the radio
Things are not getting better around here

Just imagine all I could be
In a place where no one knows me
No one there to disagree

And I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
And illuminate the way with my own light

I don’t have much in my wallet
Just a few coins and a sonnet
That you left under my bedside lamp
I’m a little scared if I’m honest
But I’ll write to you I promise
If I get to work out the right stamp

Just imagine all I could be
In a place where no one knows me
No one there to disagree

And I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
And illuminate the way with my own light

If they ever hear this story
Please tell our friends I’m sorry
That I didn’t get to say good-bye

Just imagine all I could be
In a place where no one knows me
No one there to disagree

And I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
I’ll dance to the sound of the dying stars
And illuminate the way with my own light
