Every sleepy boy and girl in every bed around the world- Can hear the stars up in the sky whispering a lullaby

Was it a light only she could see? A gypsy's spell? A mystery?

When I think of the artists I admire and seek out musically. It's because I'm curious about where they're going to go the next time they have a chance to put a record out. It's not about where I find them on the radio dial, or how many records they're selling.
