“This song has a lot of history, it’s been in the hands of great men. It was the first song that convinced Tony Calder, ex-manager of the Rolling Stones, to work with me. I was just sitting at his office, having a chat about some intense subject or other, as per usual, and I put it on for him to hear. He immediately picked up the phone and called his contact at the record label, we scheduled a meeting and a couple of months later it was being released with a Video Clip by the special effects department from the Harry Potter films. The song is about ‘beating the drums’ and announcing your arrival to your destiny, without fear of conquest, without fear of exceeding the limitations even of your most treasured dreams.”
lyrics
Beat drums and sing out what you’re feeling Beat drums and sing out make a billion
You’re a decent a person You’re just not certain There’s a Jesus trapped in there
But you’re not so far Sitting in your car Going no place anywhere
But it seems to me You also wanna be free But you don’t know what you’re supposed to do
Look in the devil’s eyes If you wanna fly And put his feet right in your shoes
But what you are Is a star
So beat the drums You’re a Star So beat the drums That’s what you are
Beat drums and sing out what you’re feeling Beat drums and sing out make a billion
When you were a child You were really wild But you never bought a gun
Listened to your friends When they said that then You’d spoil all the fun
You often think of girls You think of better clothes And a golden crutch to lean
You think of better lands Of course you understand That it’s somebody else’s dream
But what you are Is a star
So beat the drums You’re a Star You’re a Star So beat the drums
Beat drums and sing out what you’re feeling Beat drums and sing out make a billion
