Track 01: Special Star (Matt Pop Mix) 03:38
Matt Pop really knocks this one out of the ballpark! His radio edit is Hi-NRG and it's loaded with pure synth-pop goodness. It's unapologetically synth-bass driven and slightly techno aggressive in a Donna Summer "I Feel Love" kind of way. This perfectly balances out with Nick's heartfelt vocal delivery. Nick doesn't dare to emulate Pete Burns but rather puts his own spin on it. He approached the vocals more tenderly than the original. Matt sprinkles in a "Brand New Lover" flair with some smooth-as-silk synth bells and chimes. The falling star sound at the end of the song really pulled on our heartstrings. It's Matt's loving nod to Steve and Pete in the sky. If you like dark disco and dance-pop this one really razzles and dazzles! We are so proud of how bright our very first cover song shines.

lyrics
"Special Star"
Written by Dead or Alive
Verse 1:
You're out there somewhere with a hundred friends
And what I need to know is when will I see you again
You smile and say that there's a place and time
And that you'll soon be mine
And what I need to know is when
Chorus:
You are what I dreamed about
You're the wish I made when the lights went out
You are my special star
The one I want. The first in line.
You are my special star
Let it shine, let it, let it shine
Verse 2:
I sit and dream and I stare into space
And what I wouldn't give if I could only see your face
You'll never know and if you did you'd laugh
I couldn't count the times that I have kissed your photograph
Chorus:
You are what I dreamed about
You're the wish I made when the lights went out
You are my special star
The one I want. The first in line.
You are my special star
Let it shine, let it, let it shine
Verse 3:
You're out there somewhere with a hundred friends
And what I need to know is when will I see you again
You smile and say that there's a place and time
And that you'll soon be mine
And what I need to know is when
Chorus:
You are what I dreamed about
You're the wish I made when the lights went out
You are my special star
The one I want. The first in line.
You are my special star
Let it shine, let it, let it shine
(Repeat Chorus) (x4 and fade out)
