Orchestra is a Czech alternative group from Sušice, which consists of two members: Martin Vlk (el. violin) and Jiří Plánička (drums). Their music is something between classical music and hardcore.
Also from the UK:
With a pedigree that stretches back over many years, with roots reaching to the 70's and 80's with Electric Light Orchestra, the 90's with ELO Part II and from 2001 to the present as The Orchestra, heralding a continuing era of unparalleled symphonic rock! Following Bev Bevan's retirement at the end of 1999 and their triumphant sell-out concerts at London's Royal Albert Hall and Manchester's Bridgewater Hall, Mik Kaminski, Louis Clark, Kelly Groucutt, Eric Troyer, Parthenon Huxley and the latest recruit Gordon Townsend regrouped as The Orchestra. The new name acknowledged each member's illustrious former membership of the Electric Light Orchestra and/or ELO Part II but also forges ahead a future utilising the spectacular symphonic rock sound for which they are unequalled.
The term might also refer to the Orchestra playing the score or Overture to a Broadway musical. This term is technically inaccurate, being too general. All musicals have an Orchestra playing their Overture. A more accurate description would be to list the name of the composer who wrote the music.

Put a smile on my face and some shoes on my feet
Tend to overlook what I've been through
Lived a life in the sun now the damage is you
'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Shining alone my star of Rio
Driving along the moonlit sands
Shining alone
And all I feel
Slipping like pearls right through my hands
Shining alone my star of Rio
You'll always light my empty skies
Although you're gone I still can feel
You're always there and for tonight
You will be my guiding light
'Cause my Rio she's a riddle
When I look into your turquoise eyes
There's no doubt in my mind, I'll be safe 'till I die
Turning every coin that I ever earned
Just to be with you, hope you want me too
'Cause she's a real go-getter
She's got a lot at stake
She's a desperate woman
She'll always win you over when no one else will be there
'Cause it goes round round round
Round round round
The sun goes down down
Down down down
Shining alone my star of Rio
Driving along the moonlit sands
Shining alone and all I feel
Slipping like pearls right through my hands
Shining alone my star of Rio
You'll always light my empty skies
Although you're gone I still can feel
You're always there and for tonight
You will be my guiding light
'Cause my Rio she's a riddle
Shining alone my star of Rio
Driving along the moonlit sands
Shining alone and all I feel
Slipping like pearls right through my hands
Shining alone my star of Rio
You'll always light my empty skies
Although you're gone I still can feel
You're always there and for tonight
You will be my guiding light
The lyrics of Orchestra’s song The Star in the chorus talks about a person’s internal conflict - feeling alone and searching for a place to retreat, forgetting what they’ve been through, and having a guiding light in their life. The metaphorical beauty of the lyrics can be related to seeking love - how the sun goes down and the guiding light shines alone, and how the person feels a sense of loss and desperation but always finds solace in the guiding light.
The verses describe the singer's amorous journey, traveling to a place called Rio to be with someone special. The singer describes their love interest as a riddle, using cryptic phrasing to convey a sense of intrigue and fascination. However, they become conflicted as the relationship isn't perfect. Despite being a desperate woman who always wins her over when no one else is there, the singer is willing to turn every coin they earn just to be with her.
The lyrics present a sense of melancholic longing, accompanied by uplifting melodies and an up-tempo beat. The song's chorus highlights the idea that one's guiding light may not always be present, yet it still serves as a beacon of hope in their darkest moments. It's a powerful reminder that, even when we're feeling lost and alone, there's always a light shining within us that can guide us through our darkest days.

I've been looking for a place to retreat
I have been trying to find a safe haven to escape to
Put a smile on my face and some shoes on my feet
I want to feel happy and ready to go
Tend to overlook what I've been through
I tend to ignore the hardships I have faced
Lived a life in the sun now the damage is you
My past happiness has been ruined by the current situation with you
'Cause it goes round round round
Life has a continuous cycle
Round round round
Things happen again and again
The sun goes down down
The end of the day is near
Down down down
The night is coming
Shining alone my star of Rio
You are my guiding light, my hope
Driving along the moonlit sands
Traveling through a beautiful yet rough terrain
And all I feel
My emotions are all over the place
Slipping like pearls right through my hands
What I thought was important is now gone
You'll always light my empty skies
Even though I am alone, you will always be with me
Although you're gone I still can feel
Even though you are physically not here, I can still sense you
You're always there and for tonight
You are still present, especially in this moment
You will be my guiding light
You will lead me through the darkness
'Cause my Rio she's a riddle
My situation with Rio is puzzling and hard to figure out
When I look into your turquoise eyes
When I look at you, I feel at ease
There's no doubt in my mind, I'll be safe 'till I die
I know I will never feel unsafe with you
Turning every coin that I ever earned
I am willing to do anything to be with you
Just to be with you, hope you want me too
I hope you feel the same way about me as I do about you
'Cause she's a real go-getter
Rio is a determined person
She's got a lot at stake
She has a lot to lose if things go wrong
She's a desperate woman
She will do anything to have you
She'll always win you over when no one else will be there
No one else will understand like she does

The best piece in the Star Wars soundtrack, IMO. Easily one of Williams' best.
Division Azul

It's good, but it was used too much in Attack of the Clones.
Jamie Ngo
metalore that’s because there was a lot of the romance which it was used for in it lol

Honestly, this soundtrack is beyond beautiful, it is devine. If one day I am fortunate enough to find a husband this will play as the main song to my wedding 💒.
P.S I got Padme Amidala as the Star Wars character that I am most like 😄

I love how Across the Stars sounds romantic, but at the same time it has sad undertones giving it this sense of impending tragedy. Later in the song, it ends up getting more intense and powerful in tone, hinting the galaxy is going to be changed forever! It's both beautiful and impactful at the same time O.o
