Shooting Star was the best band that really didn't get the chance they deserved. Lyrics to their songs are amazing. Gary West was the best ever. They will always be my favorite band ever
I can tell you exactly where I was, what vehicle I was driving, the radio station was on the radio the first time I heard their first single "Last Chance"..... very underrated band... It is so sad that Van passed away.... way too soon. I will do my part to continue his legacy.
Shipwrecked sailors, Lost tomorrows, Hearts drowned in sorrow, Easing all is Sweet Elatia. It's a land of quiet resting. It's a flick across my memory. It's an Island for resting, On the sands of Sweet Elatia. It's a free and flowing river, Flowing home. Flowing home. I know. I know. I believe. I just sail on. Lay back. Let go. Close my eyes. And just sail on, sail on. Tidal motion. Dreams like oceans. Blissed is ready to be found Sweet Elatia. Like a lost and lonely drifter. A forgotten cross drawn martyr. Like the tide water lifting In the wave is Sweet Elatia. Like the falling dead at work And rolling home, rolling home. I know. I know, I believe, I just sail on. Lay back, let go, Close my eyes. And just sail on, sail on. Now she's by me. Silent stalling, Free gentle spirit, Filled with life. Sweet Elatia. Like the streams across her meadows. To my home. To my home. To my home. I know, I know, I believe. I just sail on, sail on. Lay back, let go. Close my eyes and Just sail on, sail on. Sail On. Sail on. Sail on. Sail on.
Kinda Funny, first heard this in the early 80s, thought meh. 'slow song' skip it... now in the 2020s so fuckin powerful still. Shooting Star, left in the dust by the giants but never truly forgotten. Screenhead Freeforums remembers.

One of my top 5 Shooting Star songs..it still gives me chills to this day after 30 years!!
Sure brings back memories. I was 16 first time. One Block West . Kansas City. RIP Van.
Thank you, never thought I would ever hear this song again! My blessings rest upon your head and heart!
Truly a great band! So many incredible songs that showcased their songwriting talent.
Proud to call Bill Guffey, the original keyboardist, a friend. Sadly, he passed a dozen years ago

Shipwrecked sailors,
Lost tomorrows,
Hearts drowned in sorrow,
Easing all is Sweet Elatia.
It's a land of quiet resting.
It's a flick across my memory.
It's an Island for resting,
On the sands of Sweet Elatia.
It's a free and flowing river,
Flowing home. Flowing home.
I know. I know. I believe.
I just sail on.
Lay back. Let go.
Close my eyes.
And just sail on, sail on.
Tidal motion.
Dreams like oceans.
Blissed is ready to be found
Sweet Elatia.
Like a lost and lonely drifter.
A forgotten cross drawn martyr.
Like the tide water lifting
In the wave is Sweet Elatia.
Like the falling dead at work
And rolling home, rolling home.
I know. I know, I believe,
I just sail on.
Lay back, let go,
Close my eyes.
And just sail on, sail on.
Now she's by me.
Silent stalling,
Free gentle spirit,
Filled with life.
Sweet Elatia.
Like the streams across her meadows.
To my home.
To my home.
To my home.
I know, I know, I believe.
I just sail on, sail on.
Lay back, let go.
Close my eyes and
Just sail on, sail on.
Sail On.
Sail on.
Sail on.
Sail on.
Thank you, Andrew!
My heart is overflowing always running away from tomorrow's yesterday! We all need
