Wandering Star lyrics

Everybody needs someone to be there Everybody needs to be alone If ever you should take the time to wander Let me be the star to guide you home

All of the dreams you have I have them too And all of the songs you sing I wrote for you

I can see the faces of the millions Lying broken underneath the past Lonely souls are cast across the ocean Running 'round in circles, coming last

All of the hopes I feel Hang by a thread All of the words I've got Get left unsaid

All of my memories They fade to gray I know that you lift me up I know that you lift me up My oh my

In another dream I catch you falling from the sky In another world we fly away On the kingdom come I'm waiting for the sun to rise On another sea we'll sail away

All of the dreams you have I have them too All of the songs I sing I wrote for you

Whatever the cat drags in Belongs to us And I'll never give you up I'll never give you up My oh my

Everybody needs someone to be there Everybody needs to be alone If ever you should take the time to wander Let me be the star to guide you home

Hear Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ New Song ‘Wandering Star’

By Emily Zemler

Emily Zemler

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds has dropped a reflective new single “Wandering Star.” The song comes off the band’s upcoming EP, Blue Moon Rising , which is set for release May 6th, 2020.

Gallagher, who produced the track himself, premiered the song on BBC Radio 2. “It was written in Abbey Road last November on the same day I wrote ‘Black Star Dancing,'” the musician said in a statement. “It’s that good, it sounds like it took 5.4 people to come up with it. It’s already a live standard and we haven’t even played it yet.”

🌟Just announced…🌟 Brand new single 'Wandering Star' is released today! 🎧 ▶︎ https://t.co/ZItkWiivYk The new single is taken from the forthcoming ‘Blue Moon Rising’ EP, released March 6th 2020. pic.twitter.com/mZz5tGJtwQ — Noel Gallagher (@NoelGallagher) November 14, 2019

The EP will include three original songs, as well as two remixes of the title track. The EP is available for preorder via the band’s website . The release follows Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ This Is The Place EP, which arrived in September and also featured three original songs and two remixes. Prior to that, the group unveiled their Black Star Dancing EP in June, Gallagher’s first new music since 2017.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are currently on tour in Australia with U2. The band will also perform in Bangkok later this month and have announced a show at London’s Kenwood House next June. Tickets are on sale now.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

• Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
• by Kings of Russia
• 8 minute read

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.

Roads To Moscow by Al Stewart

• They crossed over the border, the hour before dawn Moving in lines through the day Most of our planes were destroyed on the ground where they lay Waiting for orders we held in the wood Word from the front never came By evening the sound of the gunfire was miles away Ah, softly we move through the shadows, slip away through the trees Crossing their lines in the mists in the fields on our hands and on our knees And all that I ever was able to see The fire in the air glowing red, silhouetting the smoke on the breeze All summer they drove us back through the Ukraine Smolensk and Viasma soon fell By autumn we stood with our backs to the town of Orel Closer and closer to Moscow they come Riding the wind like a bell General Guderian stands at the crest of the hill Winter brought with her the rains, oceans of mud filled the roads Gluing the tracks of their tanks to the ground while the sky filled with snow And all that I ever was able to see The fire in the air glowing red silhouetting the snow on the breeze In the footsteps of Napoleon the shadow figures stagger through the winter Falling back before the gates of Moscow, standing in the wings like an avenger And far away behind their lines the partisans are stirring in the forest Coming unexpectedly upon their outposts, growing like a promise You'll never know, you'll never know which way to turn, which way to look you'll never see us As we're stealing through the blackness of the night You'll never know, you'll never hear us And the evening sings in a voice of amber, the dawn is surely coming The morning roads leads to Stalingrad, and the sky is softly humming Two broken Tigers on fire in the night Flicker their souls to the wind We wait in the lines for the final approach to begin It's been almost four years that I've carried a gun At home it will almost be spring The flames of the Tigers are lighting the road to Berlin Ah, quickly we move through the ruins that bow to the ground The old men and children they send out to face us, they can't slow us down And all that I ever was able to see the eyes of the city are opening Now it's the end of the dream I'm coming home, I'm coming home, now you can taste it in the wind, the war is over And I listen to the clicking of the train-wheels as we roll across the border And now they ask me of the time that I was caught behind their lines and taken prisoner "They only held me for a day, a lucky break," I say they turn and listen closer I'll never know, I'll never know why I was taken from the line and all the others To board a special train and journey deep into the heart of holy Russia And it's cold and damp in the transit camp, and the air is still and sullen And the pale sun of October whispers the snow will soon be coming And I wonder when I'll be home again and the morning answers "Never" And the evening sighs, and the steely Russian skies go on forever Writer/s: Alistair Ian Stewart Publisher: Universal Music Publishing Group Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

Comments: 7

• Kim From Campbell River from Canada Al Stewart told me in person after a concert in Vancouver, that Roads to Moscow is based on Solzhenitsyn’s book; this after I had told him about an essay I wrote in History 12, analyzing each line of the song. He was pleased!
• Vladimir from Cz/ru The song is not exactly Solzhenitsyn's story (Solzhenitsyn has never been captured) but certainly inspired by it. Generally, it is one of the best songs (or maybe just the best) ever written about Russia in English.
• Bob from Coquitlam I first heard this song in the early '70's and it became a favorite since then.
• Laurie from Vancouver Canada As a young girl of 16 reading Alexandr Solzhenitsyn in the early 70s, I remember hearing this song for the first time ... I was blown away. To create a musical story of one of histories horrific events and losses of young lives .It was for me, pure genius and compassion. It still moves me , 40 yrs later .To write and create a symphonic song, 8 mins long, capturing the perspective of a young Russian soldier in a time of such loss and horror, WW 2 , a topic removed from the modern times ... it was like reading and listening to a historical poem. Thank you Al Stewart for honoring the youth, who are the pawns of all wars. I listen this son every Remembrance Day.
• Guy from Woodinville, Wa This song moved me so much when I first heard it as a young man. It is one of the most intelligent and literate songs ever written. It made me a confirmed Al Stewart fan for life. I still look forward to every concert when he comes to the Seattle area. And he still produces fantastic music--the man is amazingly prolific! Just listen to 2006's "Somewhere in England 1915." Brilliant stuff!
• Bill from Oakland, Ca Matt's got it right. The song is the story of Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who served in the Red Army artillery during the war. The narrative starts with the German invasion in the summer of 1941, describes the epic fighting retreat from Poland to Moscow, and then the slog back as the Russians learned how to beat what had been the best army in the world when it started. But, near the end, Solzhenitsyn wss captured by the Germans, held for a day, and then turned loose when they retreated. Winning the war hadn't helped Stalin's murderous paranoia, and anyone who had such experience, or any other contact with Westerners, Axis OR Allied, was considered likely to have become a spy. So Solzhenitsyn was jailed, tortured, tried, convicted and shipped off to the Gulag. He managed to survive, to outlive Stalin, and he was freed along with thousands of others in the later 1950s. Of course, millions had been sent to the Gulag, and many had died. His ground-breaking fiction, "A Day In The Life Of Ivan Dennisovich" told what the Gulag had been like. Later he produced the 3 volume, non-fiction, "The Gulag Archipelago". Richard Overy's "Why The Allies Won" has a quick and to-the-point analysis of how the Axis, the Nazis, the Facists and the Japanese Army had appeard to be unbeatable when the war started in 1937, but were halted by the fall of 1942, and completely lost strategic initiative by the middle of 1943. Wirth's "Russia At War" tells the military story from the Russian side effectivly, and "Enemy At The Gates", about Stalingrad, captures the exact moment of what Churchill called "The Hinge Of Fate". (Along with El Alamien in North Africa and Midway/Guadalcanal in the Pacific). I've seen Al Stewart perform this song several times and he introduced it as the story of Mr. Solzhenitsyn, with slides while he played, once or twice. Its a great song.
• Matt from San Jose, Ca Sorry to disagree, but this song is written from the perspective of a Russian soldier. The end of the song is most chilling. The soldier was captured by the Germans, and then released. Communist Russia was very suspicious of captured soldiers because they though they had been "comprimised." The "special train" that the soldier must board will take him to a kind of exile Siberia, forced by his own government.
