Celeste started with music at an early age. She started humming songs and copying lyrics before she could speak properly. At age 3, she walked on stage at a performance, stopped the musicians and asked them for the microphone and demanded that the band played with her.
She officially started writing songs when she was twelve (one of the first songs was Blue Guitar) and has written a number of songs since.
"It’s really rewarding to see how life changes when you get closer to achieving your goals," says the international singer. " You stay the same, and yet you change, you grow as a person. There are risks to take and mistakes to make. But getting to my goal, where people listen to my music and like it, it’s the greatest risk worth taking. It’s extremely satisfying to create music that people like, and to share that positive vibe."
2011 - Top Ten in the Czech and Slovak Idol at age 15. Released first single, "Blue Guitar" at age 16.
Nobody Knows
Celeste Buckingham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Daddy is upset 'cause he's out of
Work again
We don't care, we just keep on
Pretending
'cause nobody here seems to feel
The need to complain
We're all just variations of the same
But the way we live is beyond surreal
At least that's what they say you
Need to stay sane
The lights are on but no one's home
Am I the only one who feels alone?
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
No, Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Could you want to, would you even try to?
Nobody knows where this girl's been
No, Nobody knows where this girl's been
Gonna fade into the wall
Don't catch me when I fall (2x)
Tell me why I gave up the believing
That lying is the only way for me
I gave up a lot of dreaming
It took some time but now I finally
See
The lights are on but no one's home
Am I the only one who feels alone?
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
No, Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Could you want to, would you even try to?
Nobody knows where this girl's been
No, Nobody knows where this girl's been
Gonna fade into the wall
Don't catch me when I fall
I've fallen many times before
But I always got back up
And now I have no place to go
The only place is up
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
No, Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Could you want to, could you even try to?
Nobody knows where this girl's been
No, Nobody knows where this girl's been
Gonna fade into the wall
Don't catch me when I fall (2x)
The song "Nobody Knows" by Celeste Buckingham is a reflection on the struggles and challenges of life that people face every day. The song depicts the difficulties faced by a family where the father is unemployed and the mother is constantly crying. Despite these challenges, the family continues to pretend that everything is okay and do not show any sign of complaint. The lyrics suggest that the family is resilient and has learned to cope with difficult situations by suppressing their emotions
The singer raises several questions about the nature of life, how people are all made of the same material, but due to the way we live, life seems beyond surreal. The song portrays a sense of isolation as though no one understands the troubles faced by the singer. Despite everything, the singer expresses hope by stating that she has fallen many times before, but always got back up, and now the only place left is up.
Overall, the song is a reflection on life's struggles, a message of resilience and hope to all those who face challenging situations in life.

Aká nostalgia. Čo som sa jej napočúval, keď to vyšlo. Až zimomriavky má človek a všetky spomienky sa mu v hlave vynoria :)

keby bola ona v eurovízii, tak sa dostane aj do finálového kola, pieseň je krásna, slová tiež, a ten hlas BOMBA. Na budúci rok by mohla ísť. Nie tam šmajda - šašo počmáraný

Mne sa táto pesnička páči :D, práve pred chvíľou som pozrela aj casting a to ako sa vypracovala. Je tu už pociťovať zmenu - k lepšiemu. Držím jej palce. Dúfam, že nezapadne "prachom" ako ostatní naši nádejní speváci. Nech je to stále cesta do hora Celeste (mimochodom, krásne meno :D).
