80년대 음악,혹은 흑인 음악을 사랑하는 팬이라면 ALTANTIC STARR라는 팀을 도저히 간과할 수 없을 것이다. 그들이 음악적 뿌리는 70년대 SOUL과 FUNK에 맞닿아 있지만 적어도 BLUE-EYED SOUL과 NEW WAVE가 지배하던 그 시절에 이런 정도로 화제를 뿌리며 선전했던 흑인 밴드는 그다지 흔치 않았던 것이다. 우리가 흔히 흑인 음악에서 기대하게 되는 음악적 깊이와 설득력, 그리고 세련된 감각이 제대로 만난 이들의 음악은 오늘날 들어도 전혀 부족함이나 아쉬움이 없으며, 이들의 다이하드 팬들이 존재한다는 것은 이들의 이러한 놀라운 재능을 입증하는 것이 다름 아니다. .... ....
Silver shadow Glowing shadow Shining brightly For all to see
(Verse 1:) I remember gazing on this quiet night The stars were bright as they could be Wonderin' if things would ever go right And if there was a spot up there for me
Then one star got brighter by the minute Strange that it seemed to have my name written in it I reached for the star and it kissed me with it's light It made me cast a show that was silver and bright
(Chorus:) Silver shadow Glowing shadow Shining brightly For all to see
(Verse 2:) I never had any good reason To thank my lucky stars But now I got a pretty good reason cause I know I'm gonna go so far
I believe in magic, I really do With all that's happened It's got to be true I cast a silver shadow from the kiss of the light I knew that I was destined Starting with tonight
(Chorus:) Silver shadow A glowing shadow Shining brightly For all to see Silver shadow My future show Trying to tell me Of a star I would be
(Bridge:) Since I was chosen among the rest I dedicate myself, I'm gonna be the very best And my shadow forever silver will remain And the world will always remember my name
(Chorus:) Silver shadow A glowing shadow Shining brightly For all to see Can't believe I cast a silver shadow Trying to tell me Of a star I would be Hey -yeah
You're my shadow love Silver and bright, a spearklin thing Look at my shadow glow Think I'm gonna be a star, whoa, whoa, whoa, oo, whoa Look at my shadow glow Glowing so brightly, this wondrous thing Look at my shadow glow Look at my silver shadow, shadow, shadow, shadow
Here we are the two of us together Taking this crazy chance to be all alone We both know that we should not be together, 'Cause if they found out It could mess up, both our happy homes.
I hate to think about us all meeting up together, As soon as I looked at you it would show on my face. Then they'll know that we've been loving each other. They can never no, oh no, we can't leave a trace.
Secret Lovers that's what we are, we shouldn't be together But we can't let it go, oh no, cause we love each other so.
Sittin at home I do nothing all day But think about you and hope that your ok. Hoping you'll call before anyone gets home I'll wait anxiously, alone...by the phone.
How could something so wrong be so right. I wish we didn't have to keep our love out of sight Living two lives just ain't easy at all But we gotta hang on and after fall.
Secret lovers that's what we are Trying so hard to hide the way we feel Cause we both belong to someone else But we can't let it go, cause what we feel is oh so real So real...so real...
You and me, are we fair Is this cruel, or do we care. Can they tell what's in our minds Maybe they've had secret love all of the time
In the middle of makin love we notice the time We both get nervous cause it's way after nine. Even though we hate it, we know it's time that we go We gotta be careful, so that no one will know.
Secret lovers, that's what we are, Trying so hard to hide the way we feel, 'Cause we both belong to someone else, But we can't let it go 'Cause what we feel is oh so real So real...so real...so real...so real!

It's a fragile situation It could fall apart at any time And none would be the wiser Except you and I
It seems that we stopped talkin' Like we're afraid to disagree And after all we've been through Can we still be that naive?
[Chorus] If your heart isn't in it Why can't you tell me so? If my heart wasn't in it I'd have gone long ago If your heart isn't in it Why keep me hangin' on? Just tell me and I'll be gone From your life
You treat me like a stranger As if I wasn't there Oh baby, I waited for a miracle To make you show that you care
[Chorus]
If your heart isn't in it Why can't you tell me so? I can't go through the motions I have to know If your heart isn't in it Why can't you tell me so? I can't go to the limit I have to know
If your heart Ooh, can't you tell me so? I have to know If your heart isn't it Why keep me hangin' on? Just tell me and I'll be gone Don't keep me hangin' on For dear life
