Revisiting Porto, in Portugal, in 2014 after a 33 year gap, and seeing the increased poverty on one hand and the trendy new cosmopolitan places, on the other, produced this lyric.

lyrics

STARS SO BRIGHT
It's like we're living In a made-up country Bits of the real world Stuck together one night It's all so convincing With its' language and customs I'd like to move here But it's not quite right Where are the sirens And the older people Nothing is happening Just out of sight If we go quickly Does the background move as well If we don't look up Are there stars so bright I'm just not sure What it is I'm looking for Now all I know is It's not around here I'm sure it was the last time I came calling Something bad is happening I can sense the fear Maybe I'm a target In a land of beauty People forced to actions Far beyond their will Paradise despoiled now By the darker forces Of other men's desires In a world that's ill

I'm still a little blown away by the fact that one of my guitar influences released an instrumental guitar album on the same day as me and I didn't realize it. But I've listened to it twice now and it gets better with every play. In places it's like Syd Barret, Robby Krieger, and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra are having a jam session. Darren Douglas Danahy
