Is that the sound of a klaxon or just half the listening audience secretly admitting they don't really hate this piece of melodramatic, overblown Europap?
Only codding. Pisces, here. Has to be something featuring Fish (not that scary head thingy. Please.)
Marillion Kayleigh
if you're still struggling for Libra references - you just stick an "S" at the start of the title and that's two birds with one stone. ;o)

Two connections I think to this theme from a great new Scottish band -(1) their name is We See Lights, and many of the star signs are bright lights and (2) on their latest album, Twee Love Pop they have brilliant song called, My Oh My, which has a line.. free from your gravity to be someone else's moon......

The title might be `Zodiacs` - given the lyrics though, a possible show opener.

DC, October Scorpio, actually. And fiesta and siesta are Spanish, but otherwise no bad. BTW, are you by any chance going to a concert soon?

This song was originally titled 'Horoscope' for an intended album of the same name but he scrapped the album and some of the songs found their way in different forms on to later albums. Gemini Moon ended up on the Mamouna album.
