Some of the first bands to rock his airwaves were Guns ‘n’ Roses, Iron Maiden and Metallica but his musical knowledge expanded rapidly to include bands such as Helloween, Dream Theater, Paradise Lost, White Lion, Skid Row, Extreme, Candle Mass, Solitude Aeternus, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony Mcalpine, Micheal Schencker, Savatage amongst many others. Although finding his love in rock, he also began listening to numerous other musical styles such as blues, jazz, funk and classical music.
With a serious practice regime of seven hours a day, Demis quickly advanced from knowing just a few chords to being able to play several techniques. After two years of practicing, Demis joined his frist band ‘Myst’ which lasted about five years. His first band was succeeded by the band ‘Sidereal’ which lasted another five years. However, neither of these bands managed to record any material which left Demis craving for a long desired dream. This was to record his own solo album.
Demis' philosophy – “Music is fantastic because it is a means of expression and because it is endless in its diversity. Those musicians who look down on other musicians as if they are at a lower level because they play with less or no technical ability should stop playing until they learn what music is all about i.e. expressing your emotions. Every person is precious because of his/her uniqueness and therefore one's own way of expressing himself/herself is also unique. There are also those musicians who say that technical ability is nonsense and is there only to show off. I can tell these musicians that music is also a discipline and to reach a high level standard, very hard work and practice is required. These are the musicians who are not ready to make sacrifices and want the easy way out. Whatever style you decide to take, please think twice before criticising. Both ways of playing are good and have their own qualities. Musicians decide what is best for them but pride and jealousy should not prevail over respect.”
Apart from his own material Demis is know working with a new band. Work is still in progress and information with links and live gigs will be given when the band is ready to kick off.
Love Is
Demis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Starts to feel like the world's apart
Like I'm going crazy
And you say it's raining in your heart
You're telling me nobody's there
To try and fly
Oh but that's just crazy
'Cause baby I told ya I'm here for good
My love's like a star, yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
I tried to build the walls
To keep you safe when I'm not around
But as soon as I'm away from you
You say they come tumbling down
But it's not about the time
That we don't get to spend together
It's about how strong our love is
When I'm gone and it feels like forever
My love's like a star yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
You say that time away makes your heart grow out
But I can stay just to prove you wrong
Oh look at how far we've come
Don't you know
Don't know that you're the one
My love's like a star yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow, yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
In this song, Demi Lovato sings about a relationship where the distance between her and her lover has made them feel far apart from each other. The separation feels overwhelming, and it is like the entire world has come between them, making them go crazy with loneliness. While Demi's lover tells her that nobody is there to try and fly, she reassures them that she is there to stick with them through thick and thin. Demi compares her love to a star; just like we can't always see the stars in the sky, her lover may not see her, but she is always there, shining and waiting for them. If they ever see a star, they should know that it is hers, and she is always nearby, comforting and supporting them.
Demi talks about trying to build walls around her lover to keep them safe when she's away. However, as soon as she leaves, the walls seem to come tumbling down, and her lover feels vulnerable and alone. Even though they may not be able to spend time together, it is their love that keeps them strong, and it feels like forever when they are apart. Demi's love is unwavering, and she will always be there for her lover to rely on her, even during tough times. The song conveys a message of hope, of staying strong even in the toughest of times, and of the unwavering strength of love.

The space in between us
Starts to feel like the world's apart
Like I'm going crazy
And you say it's raining in your heart
You're telling me nobody's there
To try and fly
Oh but that's just crazy
'Cause baby I told ya I'm here for good
Being away from you feels like we're living in two different worlds. It's making me lose my sanity, while it's raining in your heart with loneliness. But don't say nobody's there to help you fly, I'm here and I'm never leaving.
My love's like a star, yeah
You can't always see me

My love is like a star; it may not be visible all the time, but it's always there, shining and guiding you, just like how you can count on me being near. If you see a comet, know that I'm on my way back, just follow its light, it won't take long, you have me, and you're never alone.
I tried to build the walls
To keep you safe when I'm not around
But as soon as I'm away from you
You say they come tumbling down
But it's not about the time
That we don't get to spend together
It's about how strong our love is
When I'm gone and it feels like forever
I built walls around you, so you stay safe without me around, but those walls crumble down as soon as I leave, and loneliness creeps in. But it's not about the time we're apart; it's about the strength of our love, which keeps us together even when it feels like forever.
You say that time away makes your heart grow out
But I can stay just to prove you wrong
Oh look at how far we've come
Don't you know
Don't know that you're the one
You say that time apart grows your heart's love, but I'll stay, so you know love can also grow in our presence. Just look at how far we have come, and always remember that you're the one who has my heart.
My love's like a star yeah
You can't always see me
But you know that I'm always there
When you see one shining
Take it as mine
And remember I'm always near
If you see a comet
Baby I'm on it
Making my way back home
Just follow the glow, yeah
It won't be long
Just know that you're not alone
My love is like a guiding star in the dark, it's never absent. Even if you can't see me, know that I'm still there, close to you. And if you see a comet, know that I'm on my way back, to light up your world again. You're never alone.
