Founded in 1992, Support Lesbiens are a Czech band who sings in English. Their track "CLICHÉ" was the first single by an "English-singing" group to get to number one in the official IFPI charts.
The band is considered by some to be New Age, but, to be honest, they can rock out with the best of them!
Because they decided to sing in English, they got a pretty tough ride from the snobs in the Czech music press, and as a result their first two albums were discovered by only the most die-hard Czech fans, but their break came with the album Regeneration?, which jump-started their rise to domestic, and international, fame.
The lead singer, Kryštof Michal, who studied in the United States, is reknowned for his extravagant image and surreal humour and, maybe due to this, the bands videos are often feature abstract and surreal images quite heavily, but they always manage to avoid anything pretentious!
After their fourth album Tune Da Radio, the band's lead guitarist and co-writer Jaromír Helešic left the band. This has proved to be a positive thing as they've abandoned their more cliched rock edges for a more refined, modern edge.
Current line-up:
Kryštof Michal (Vocals)
Hynek Toman (Guitar)
René Rypar (Guitar)
Jan Daliba (Bass Guitar)
Tomáš Novák (Drums)
You Are My Star
Support Lesbiens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My baby´s growing.My baby´s coming, my daddy life begins.
You are the bow in my hands.My star, the blues of my band.
A telephonic warning.Puts me in a chase in the rain.
I had a bottle in the morning.I gotta stand all the pain.
Told the pale and black taxi driver.Just you go or me run.
A supersonic got to be your riding.Cause I feel he´s the one.
Driven to soon see my son.Cause I feel he´s the one.
I´m looking for a moment you´ll be there.
Your mother to bring you in this world.You are my star.
You are the bow in my hands.My star, the blues of my band.
I told the pale and black taxi driver.Just you go or me run.
A supersonic got to be your riding.Cause I feel he´s the one.
Driven to soon see my son.Cause I feel he´s the one.
I´m looking for a moment you´ll be there.
Your mother to bring you in this world.You are my star.
You are the bow in my hands.My star, the blues of my band.
I´m looking for a moment you´ll be there.
Your mother to bring you in this world.You are my star.
The lyrics of Support Lesbiens' song "You Are My Star" suggest that the singer is in a state of heightened emotion and feels like a winner. They mention their baby is growing, and that their life as a parent is about to begin. The singer then refers to their loved one as a "bow in my hands" and "the blues of my band," both of which are metaphors for how they view this person's importance in their life. The song then goes on to describe a moment of urgency, where the singer must urgently get somewhere and feels as if a supersonic ride is necessary. The reason for this haste isn't explicitly mentioned in the lyrics, but it's clear that the singer's motivation is fueled by their emotions.
The lyrics indicate that the singer is looking forward to a moment in the future when their loved one is present. This is likely when their child is born, as they mention wanting their loved one to be present for the mother giving birth. The song concludes with a repetition of the lines "You are the bow in my hands. My star, the blues of my band" as a declaration of the deep love and appreciation that the singer has for their loved one.
