The Story Behind The Song: Episode #5 - Reach For The Stars from the EP - "Reach For The Stars"
There's an old saying that goes something like this, "Shoot for the moon and if you miss, you'll be among the stars". Reach For The Stars is a song about taking a chance on something you love in hopes that one day you'll get what you're dreaming of. Reach For The Stars was written to be the opening song of the night. It had to be a powerful statement that showed off M&R Rush's tightness, talents, and trademark vocal harmonies. This song has it all, vocal harmonies, cascading orchestration of guitars, keyboards, bass, and drums, a great lead vocal by Paul, and even a piano riff!
LYRICS
I remember talking about the way it would be,
I remember all we had to do was sit back and see,
But things turned out quite differently, it didn’t come so easily,
We did what we had to do and here we are!
Reach for the Stars…..Don’t you hesitate.
Reach for the Stars…..Before it gets too late.
Go after what you’re after…..May be your shooting star
Go after or ever after…..You’ll still be where you are.
I remember thinking bout this time when it was just a dream,
I remember we didn’t realize what it all would mean,
But things turned out quite differently, it didn’t come so easily,
We did what we had to do and here we are!
Reach for the Stars….. Don’t you hesitate.
Reach for the Stars……Before it gets too late.
Go after what you’re after…..May be your shooting star
Go after or ever after…..You’ll still be where you are.
