20世纪90年代英国流行乐队“辣妹组合”（Spicy Girl）主唱之一媚兰妮-C（Melanie Chisholm）单飞后，有11首单曲获得全英排行榜冠军，这首《北极星》（Northern Star）即是其中之一，也是她1999年发行的首张个人专辑的主打歌曲。清亮的摇滚曲风加上媚兰妮独特的嗓音，感叹着那些像北极星一样遥不可及的美丽：他们试图抓住那颗坠落的星星，她走的太远了，坠入大洋……

Northern Star
Melanie C
They tried to catch a falling star, thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well until she cracked and then she fell
If all the history is true she's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side. But tell me who will be my guide?
They build you up so they can tear you down
Trust the ocean you'll never drown
Who is next? Who's gonna steal your crown? You'll see
I have learned my lesson well. The truth is out there I can tell:
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies and goodbyes, Northern Star
Fulfil a longing in your heart and we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you just tell them that our love is true
They buy your dreams so they can sell your soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control? Feelings come, feelings go
I have learned my lesson well. The truth is out there I can tell:
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret. Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me and you'll see she's not far
Northern Star (Repeat)

他们尝试捕捉一颗流星，认为她已经走得太远
她走了却隐藏得很好，直到她破碎而下落
如果所有的历史都是真实的，她就会像你一样结束
你把它转向另一边，但是告诉我谁会是我的引导？
他们可以造就你，同时也可以把你打垮
相信海洋，你就不会失落。谁是下一位？谁会偷窃你的王冠？你会明了
我已经受到很好的教训，我敢说真理就在那里：
不要回顾，不要相信他们的谎言。再见了，北极星
实现你心中的渴望，我们将永不分离
如果他们敢质疑你，就告诉他们我们的爱是真挚的
他们收买你的梦想，同时也会出卖你的灵魂
有什么疑惑我们无法控制了吗？思绪如潮来，思绪如潮去
我已经受到很好的教训，我敢说真理就在那里：
不要回顾，不要相信他们的谎言。再见了
没有遗憾地过日子，不要成为他们遗忘的人
当你迷失方向时找我吧，你会发现，她并不遥远，北极星（重复）
