' WONDERBOOM PHASE ONE' to a close.

National tourswith Simple Minds and Live and headling every South African festival (sharing the stage with the likes of The Mission and Feeder) led to WONDERBOOM being constantly touted as S.A.’s hottest live act. CITO, MARTIN, DANNY AND WADE lived up to this claim in December 2004 when WONDERBOOM represented South Africa at the Global Battle of the Bands in London and finished second in a field of 16 bands from all over the world.

Other accolades include added the prestigious “Kanna” award won at the 2005 Klein Karoo Kunstefees and People magazine’s “Best S.A. Band” Crystal Award in 2003.

'WONDERBOOM PHASE TWO’ begins with “City of Gold” an album released on the Sheer Sound indi label, is full of radio friendly singles sure to take the band’s already large following to massive proportions!

Lovestruck
Wonderboom Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just a brother from another mother
It's taken so long for me to rediscover
What a man like me looks for in a lover
Hold me tight, tonight there is no other

It's never easy
To please me
Yet I'm the only one

Who's having fun
Tonight

Star eyed and lovestruck
Star eyed and lovestruck

Loving you is messing me up too
I'm too soft to keep away from you
Wouldn't dream of anything else to do
No other time or place but now will do

It's never easy
To please me
Yet I'm the only one
Who's having fun

It's never easy
To please me
I'm the only one
Who's having fun
Tonight

Star eyed and lovestruck
Star eyed and lovestruck

Star eyed and lovestruck
Star eyed and lovestruck

Star eyed and lovestruck, yeah
Star eyed and lovestruck

It then moves into a more romantic tone with the rediscovery of what they look for in a lover. The chorus repeats the phrase "star eyed and lovestruck" which suggests a feeling of being in awe and head-over-heels in love.

The second verse describes how this love is "messing" the singer up but they cannot keep away from it. They state that they wouldn't dream of doing anything else, emphasizing the importance of this moment and this person.
