Wishing On 10​.​000 Stars

about

I wrote "Wishing on 10.000 Stars" one strange day of August while I was sitting on a big arena in the middle of a very udge crowd. So many people and I was so detached from the show. The stage looked so far away, and all my attention was cought by the wide starry skies after a very strong storm was blown by the wind. SO many people, this amazing artists playing and all I was only able to think about just one person so far away from me. So the day after I started to write this song and wonder:"Why wishing on just one star? If I had one wish for each star of the universe my wish would just be the same, and if I would only be supposed to wish on falling stars all the lights in the sky would fade away and the stars would go in some kind of cosmic cemetery where all our prayers rest". Strange little mind I have, uh?

Then again I was so lucky to have Valeria Caponnetto Delleani to sing a song. I met this amazing girl with such a beautiful asn special voice thanks her mother Silvana Aliotta. Silvana used to sing in two very popular bands, both in the '70s ("Circus 2000") and the '8os ("Le Streghe", produced by Shel Shapiro). I met her on an interview on a project I was running on Italo Disco. I was so surprised how this girl had been spotted by wikipedia as the singer who brought Italian music from prog-rock to disco music. She became a very special friend to me.

lyrics

"I'm looking at the big sky"
'Cause show is such a bore
Crowd crowling in the yard
Won't make me less alone
And everything is clean and still and bright
I know that they are far, in the dark, still they shine

Wishing on 10.000 stars
For each star I wish my dream come true
Wishing on 10.000 stars
And each of my dreams is you


- You...
- What's that?
- Yeah, you!
- Oh, no...
- Are you looking at me?
- Are you looking at me?
- Don't really know...
- Beware...
- Should I?
- Take care...
- I'm trying!
- ... dreams might come true!
- Shoot!

Then they began to fall
All above our heads
Nobody was aware
Attracted by the stage
An airplane passing by
Could steal some on the fly
I had to take my chance
I gave'em all your name

Wishing on 10.000 stars
For each star I wish my dream come true
Wishing on 10.000 stars
And each of my dreams is you
Wishing on 10.000 stars
They're shining alright as good as you
Wishing on 10.000 stars
And each of my dreams is you

YOU

[CANONE 1]
Countessly they congregate
Silently at heaven's gate

[CANONE 2]
Are our prayers prayed in vain
Gone in interstellar space

[CANONE 3]
Star I command
Make it so soon as you can
