During the following years, White focused on touring extensively with his White Flames band.
In 1990, he was invited by the then, former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters, to perform in another take of The Wall, by the ruins of the Berlin Wall, among with other guest artists, and delivered a memorable guitar solo in the song Comfortably Numb.
Through the years, he released records under his own name, as well as under the names Snowy White's Blues Agency and Snowy White & the White Flames.

Snowy White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so glad that I found you
Don't know who you are
But there's so much that we can do
You're my lucky star
I will always follow you
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
I will never leave your side
You're my lucky star
I'm so glad that I found you
You're my lucky star
I'm so glad that I found you
Don't know who you are
But there's so much that we can do
You're my lucky star
I will always follow you
You're my lucky star
I'm so glad that I found you
The song "Lucky Star" by Snowy White is an upbeat love song with a feeling of a gamble coming good. The lyrics are fairly straightforward with the main theme of the chorus being the singer telling their partner how much of a lucky star they are. The lyrics skillfully mix metaphors of gambling, star gazing, and religion, with the idea of luck being a guiding force in the relationship.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of the unknown, particularly in the lines, "Don't know who you are, But there's so much that we can do". The singer emphasizes the potential of their relationship and the things they can do together as a couple. Yet at the same time, the "lucky star" metaphor is particularly poignant here, as it acknowledges the randomness and unpredictability of life that brought them together.
The song is full of energy and the guitar solo is particularly impressive. Its upbeat and catchy tune encourages listeners to dance while professing their love to their lucky star.

I bought a debut magazine/album back in the 80s that this was on. I might never have heard it otherwise. Love it.
