[Video #20] from http://www.youtube.com/user/MetalGuruMessiah the address for MetalGuruMessiah's Musical Paint Box! Check out my other videos!
My 20th video in a series I'm working on for some of my favorite songs from the past.
"Lady Starlight" was released on The Scorpion's 1980 album Animal Magnetism. No other band mastered the rock ballad like The Scorpions, just one amazing song after another including; Always Somewhere, Holiday, Still Loving You, When The Smoke Is Going Down, Winds Of Change, and on and on.
This song was one of the very first videos that I envisioned when deciding to undertake this project. For some reason, it wasn't one of the first videos I attempted and for that I'm glad as I've gotten a bit more advanced in my abilities, and the end result does the song better justice.
The video is really not very complicated as I wanted to keep the video as simple as possible. I tried to limit the images, but it was hard as there are so many beautiful pictures relating to the subject matter.
Watching the video now, I see that I failed to correct a few timing issues with some of the video edits as I had intended to do during the final touch up phase.....that's what happens when it gets too late and you rush to upload. If the continue to bother me too much, I may have to take the video down and correct them.....we'll see.
Finally, a HUGE THANKS to Harles99 (http://www.youtube.com/user/Harles99) and Hosiyas (http://www.youtube.com/user/hosiyas) for their beautiful time lapse photography.....which brought something special and unique to the video. Please visit their sites and check out the extraordinarily beautiful works they have uploaded. Just amazing.
It was a fun one to make and I hope you enjoy it.
[Lyrics]
Walking through a winter night
Counting the stars
And passing time
I dream about the summer days
Love in the Sun
And lonely bays
I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love
On one of these lonely winter nights
Dreaming through a winter night
Memories of you are passing by
It seems to me like yesterday
I think you knew I couldn't stay
I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love
Walking through a winter night
Counting the stars
And passing time
Snow dances with the wind
I wish I could be with you again
I see the stars, they're miles and miles away
Like our love
Lady starlight, help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonight
Help me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonightHelp me to find my love
Lady starlight, help me tonightHelp me to find my love
Another sublime sampling Guru...many thanks.

Thank you again so much my friend for the encouragement and support!
Really wanting to jump into my next Scorpions effort (either "Still Loving You", "The Zoo", "Always Somewhere", "Holiday", "Blackout", or ?....got the concepts already for "Zoo", "Holiday" and "Blackout"....other 2 more difficult. "Still Loving You" is the one I really want to try if I can only come up with something.
Thanks so much again!

One of the two best guitar solos ever..... The other one is Gilomours in Comfortably Numb.
