1) Northstar was an … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least four artists with this name:
1) Northstar was an American alternative punk rock band formed in 1997 in Huntsville, Alabama.
Since the beginning they have had around 5 guitarists and 3 different bassists, have been a 3 piece, 5 piece, and a 4 piece, and have had two different singers. Being from Alabama, where there is no rock scene, they decided to start touring around the country in 2000. They booked their first tour, bought a van, and set out on the road. Since then, they have been on 5 tours.
After two years of polishing their do-it-yourself skills of booking, promoting, and producing everything that is Northstar, the band ended up signing a deal in June of 2002 with Triple Crown Records in New York.
Northstar broke up in April 2005. Nicolas Torres and Tyler Odom created Cassino. The demos for Cassino were recorded with Matt Squire and used drummer Will Noon, of Straylight Run fame.
2) Northstar is a hip hop group consisting of Christ Bearer and Meko The Pharoah. Wu-Tang Clan affiliate.
Used to record with fellow Californian group Black Knights as Black Knights Of The North Star, and indeed the two groups were initially signed as such to Wu-Tang Records. The groups have since split into two separate units, and Northstar released their debut album in 2003, titled Bobby Digital Presents Northstar, which also featured a reunion with Black Knights on the closing song "Black Knights Of The North Star". Their second album West Coast Killa Beez was released in 2005.
3) Northstar is a unique combination of rappers, producers and profesionally trained jazz musicians hailing from Toronto.
4) NorthStar was an melodic hard rock/metal band from Los Angeles, California. They released an obscure and highly prized rare Hitman Studios demo in 1985. The band was a regular on the Sunset Strip, opening for bands like Great White, Warrant and Poison. They also headlined at Gazzarri's but were never signed by a major label.
Not content with playing its part in the commercial corruption of music, each member of Northstar is dedicated to elevating the modern musical experience to a higher degree of artistry. Thoroughly schooled in the arts of performance, improvisation and composition: Northstar shines both in studio and on-stage.
What began as Conquest's personal work as an emcee, trumpet player and producer has been transformed into the live and expansive presentation of the Northstar collective with the help of fellow emcee Sir Real, female vocalist Elisa Gold, bassist Mike Reid, drummer Josh Lane, guitarist Adam Saifer, saxophonist John DeSimini and Adam Hoy on Trumpet/Keys. The Northstar collective has set-out to conquer the Toronto music scene and has intentions to infilitrate America as well in the near future.
Daybreak
Northstar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left me feeling lonely
As rotten paper falls from my notebook
I had to bring myself to pick up my jaw
You can't stop daybreak, daybreak
Well In the back of my mind she sits
If I had four hands
I could hold you like you wanted
And I'd give you my soul
To see that it's been sold
That it's been sold
That it's been sold
That it's been sold
You can't stop daybreak
With your voice inside
Scribbled on an empty sidewalk through his life
Flipping page by page
Looking up so far down
You can't stop daybreak, daybreak
Disappointed
From her looks of despair
From this
lyrically complex song, it is clear that Northstar is exploring the theme of unrequited love as well as the feeling of loneliness and disappointment that comes with it. The opening lines about a censored write-up on love in yesterday's paper sets the tone for the song, where the singer is feeling lonely and disconnected from the world around him. The image of rotten paper falling from his notebook is symbolic of his own feelings and emotions decaying and falling apart. The phrase "I had to bring myself to pick up my jaw" also indicates shock or surprise, perhaps at the realization that his love is unrequited.
The second verse is particularly poignant, as the singer admits to having his love interest on his mind. He imagines her with her arms around another man and yearns to be able to hold her himself. The line "I'd give you my soul to see that it's been sold" is particularly striking, as it conveys the idea that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything to be with this person, even if she is not interested in him romantically. The repeated phrase "You can't stop daybreak" serves as a reminder that time marches inexorably forward, regardless of our feelings or desires.
Overall, Daybreak is a powerful exploration of the themes of unrequited love, loneliness, and disappointment, conveyed through complex and evocative lyrics.

I remember reading "Northstar is the best band ever!" in the booklet for "Tell All Your Friends" by Taking Back Sunday. I immediately went to my nearest record store to by this Northstar album, and Daybreak easily became my new favorite song. Northstar is still unmatched in terms of rock music to this day.

I have a casette of Tell All Your Friends (20th Anniversary Edition), "Northstar is the best band ever" is also written in the booklet.
