2. Soulstar (Dutch)
Soulstar released their first EP called ‘Bringing the Funk into the future baby!’ in 2005. With success, they won the bandcontest ‘De Oogst van Overijssel’, we’re played at national radio (Kink FM) and their gig at Paradiso Amsterdam was broadcasted live on the Internet.

As from 2008 there was the big turn. Bandmembers have changed, but founder, composer, singer and bassplayer Gooswijn van Rees stayed. Together with a new producer/keyboard player Iwan Blokzijl they worked hard on a new sound. Accompanied by new members Marco Nelemaat (drums) and Hubert Eggen (guitar). With they’re powerful mix of rock, pop, electro and many other styles and they’re strong focus on graphic design you could say they’ve formed a brand new band.

The four men of Soulstar are inspired by the diversity of Prince, David Bowie, The Gorillaz and Soulwax, the moods from Radiohead, Elbow and Faithless but also the energy from bands like The Police, Underworld, LCD Soundsystem and the Foo Fighters. Mix it up with the classic songwriting skills from the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Neil Young and you get a surprising blend.

Homesick
SoulStar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

말라 버린 외로움
얼룩져 버린 그리움
그 누구도 기억해
주지 않는 아픔들이
바람처럼 불어와
날 밀쳐내고 부딪혀
붙잡을게 하나 없는 나

한걸음 한걸음 무거운
하루를 잠시만이라도
내려놓을 수 있다면 할 수 있다면
엉클어져 버린 시간에 붙들려
갇혀버린 채로 깨지 않는 꿈처럼
사라질까 두려워
시간을 돌려 그날이 오면
아름다웠던 그날
그땐 몰랐던 흩어져 버린
아름다웠던 그날
시간을 돌려줘

의미조차 모르는
사랑 노랠 부르고
그 안에 숨어봐도
왠지 긴 하루처럼
허무한 별 의미 없는 꿈
그 안에 나를 가둬 버린 거야

지금 이 순간
시간을 돌려 그날이 오면
아름다웠던 그날
그땐 몰랐던 흩어져 버린
아름다웠던 그날
시간을 돌려 그날이 오면
눈부시던 꿈꾸던 그날

아름답던 날들 바람이겠지만
나다웠던 그때 아름다웠었던 그날

되돌려줘
바람이겠지만

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SoulStar's song Homesick describe a feeling of loneliness, longing and pain caused by memories of the past that cannot be forgotten or erased. The singer feels stuck in a moment in time, unable to move on and escape the grip of these emotions that haunt him like the wind. He wishes he could let go of his burdens and live a lighter life, but the weight of the past is too heavy to bear. The song talks about the fear of losing beautiful memories and dreams that have been scattered and forgotten over time. The yearning to go back to those beautiful times and experience them once again is so strong that it feels like an unfulfilled desire that cannot be quenched.

The imagery used in the song paints a vivid picture of the singer's internal struggle with his emotions. The use of metaphors such as "dried loneliness," "stained longing," and "pain that no one remembers" creates a sense of hopelessness and despair. The repeated plea to turn back time to relive those happy days is a powerful sentiment that many people can relate to. The singer's voice conveys his feelings of sadness, regret, and longing in a hauntingly beautiful way that resonates with the listener.

말라 버린 외로움
My loneliness has dried up

얼룩져 버린 그리움
My longing has become stained

그 누구도 기억해
No one remembers

주지 않는 아픔들이
The pains that no one cares about

바람처럼 불어와
Blow like the wind

날 밀쳐내고 부딪혀
Push and collide with me

붙잡을게 하나 없는 나
I have nothing to hold onto

한걸음 한걸음 무거운
Every step is heavy

하루를 잠시만이라도
Even for a moment, let go of the day

If I can, if I may,

엉클어져 버린 시간에 붙들려
I'm trapped in the twisted time
