Poster Children - He's My Star | Live @ JBTV

Poster Children performing their song "He's My Star" live on the JBTV Stage from their album Junior Citizen.

Poster Children was formed in Champaign, Illinois in 1987 by Rick Valentin (guitar, vocals) and Rose Marshack (bass, vocals). Jim Valentin joined on guitar in 1991 and Matt Friscia (drummer #7) joined in 2001. They have released eleven studio albums, on various independent and major labels, and one feature-length film, “Zero Stars.” Known for their strong DIY ethic, the band members toured incessantly in the 1990s, driving their own van around the US and Europe, creating their own artwork and T-shirt designs, and operating their own record label. Poster Children were also pioneers in several forms of electronic technology relating to performance art, including enhanced CDs, webcasts, and blogs. The band released their 12th album, Grand Bargain!, on May 18, 2018.

Lyrics:
I am on the beach
Looking for the thief
That stole my heart from under me
And let it drift to sea

Swimming too far out
I am almost drowned, no hope of being found
I am saved when a familiar face
Comes crashing through the waves

I saw him every week
Driving down the street
A savior in a brand new car
Shining like a star

Before he learned to swim
A voice would come to him on night rides
Faceless William elsewhere known as
Mark and the father of Benjamin

Don't go out alone or stray too far from home
You know that summer's here
And the coast is clear
The ocean's not as calm as it appears

Although we never met
I felt like we were friends
He helped me through the worst days of high school
When I felt like a fool

One day he was gone
Left there on my own
I walked the halls he walked, washed up and lost
Without a clue that soon our paths would cross

Don't go out alone or stray too far from home
You know that summer's here
And the coast is clear
The ocean's not as calm as it appears

He's my star
He's my star
He's my star
