It's been 6 years that I keep coming back to this version. I only have the following comments; listening to it brings back nostalgic memory, it's all-consuming and the singer (visually, musically, emotionally and with soul brings out the true interpretation of the lyrics of the song). Poetry in music!!!

My dad passed December 2021 from cancer. He always used to play it every day on repeat. Dedicated it to my mom and told her don’t cry when he’s gone it’s just an illusion. RIP Dad❤

Kia ora, from Waikato & Waitomo. I was wondering what kind of personality your friend has. I am a very caring person. Sometimes I can't believe how many shocking things have happened in my life. I was diagnosed with cancer 9 months ago and have had lots of treatments and 2 minor operations. One thing about knowing, or even thinking you might die, is that you get your priorities right. You know who your friends are - you are in an honoured position and will grow a lot with the way you love ❤️ your friend. Caring a lot about people brings a lot of pain and suffering. But life is usually deep, enriched and blessed.

KiaOra back from Taranaki.. not long after commenting my friend passed. She had 10 weeks to live after the MRI results and 10 weeks it was, she left us on my child’s bday. I saw that as a beautiful thing.. he has autism and a few other diagnoses so she favoured him❤️ my friend was so generous and caring also tough and fierce. She called a spade a spade. Worked hard and loved her kids the best she could/ knew how. I was privileged to be part of her journey, she lived her life in a very Western way if that makes sense but after researching she did find out about her Māori side, she choose to have a Tangi and have her body at her home. She wanted a Harakeke casket in which she asked myself and a few others to help weave, one of the most beautiful caskets I’ve ever seen with Harakeke flowers and seashells attached. I will never forget her strength in the way she accepted at 52 she was going to die. 🦋 I hope for u things have improved after your treatments. I’m sorry to hear you to have bn through what sounds like a lot of trauma( the shocking things in your life you mentioned) I hope u have a lot of real love and real friends who supported and continue to support you along your journey. Thank you for asking about my friend, she will forever be in my heart ❤️

Imo, you should also see the original from 1983 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5rHnpiafs9ops0 because it was autobiografic. The singer is Anny (or Annie) Schilder from the Netherlands .Tree of the bandmembers wrote that song to Annie's live, she couldn't cope with" living like a star" and motherhood,(the words babe an baby you also have to take literarly, at the time of the song she had a 10 month old baby) and just one year later she left the band to look after her daughter.She once said " the moment that your daughter says * mom* to your sister than you know it't time.

I’d like to share our story of this beautiful song/rendition. I feel like my wife and I got to experience this song in a very unique and special way through the eyes of Fijians/Pacific Islanders, and it made this song so much more powerful, impactful, and heartfelt once we realized what it might mean to many Fijians. I could be totally wrong, but I feel like our experience really helped to explain why so many Pacific Islanders love and feel attached to this song. And so when I hear it now, it brings such deep sadness and heartache to me, but yet, it is still so beautiful and powerful. The story.... When we vacationed in Fiji back in 2016, we had never heard this song before. Not even the original. However, wherever we went, we kept hearing this song being played. In the airport, the stores, the buses, the boats, and eventually on our secluded getaway island. We did not pay much attention to it at all, until one night one of the Island crew members started singing it by the fire. She sang it while a few of the Island crewmen played the instruments. We were so surprised and in aw that we started recording her as she was doing an amazing cover of this song. Everyone applauded her and the crew once they finished. Then we put our phones down and went back to enjoying the beautiful night breeze by the beach side while the crew members went back to serving/busing tables. It was such a serene and magical night for us. My wife and I felt like we were in heaven on earth, and best of all, we had each other’s company to enjoy it all. A few days later, we packed up and got ready to board the boat back to the main island. We noticed a few crew members leaving with us. They seemed anxious and ready to leave this beautiful island. The ones left behind were giving them well wishes and telling them they would see them soon. Once on the boat back to the main island, the crew members leaving with us put on their headphones and enjoyed their peace and quiet. Eventually, I got a chance to ask one of them how long it had been since they’d been home. She said it’s been about a month since she’s been home to see her children and family. Her husband was also away on an island far away working. He would not be home for a another few weeks either. She shared that see missed her children dearly and was happy to finally be returning home. She also shared that many other people in her family work on islands far away from home for months at a time. This was common for many Fijians. Once back on the main island, my wife and I continued to hear this song played. Finally, at one point, I got the urge to look up the song. I Shazamed it and got the song title/info then saved it. Once we got back to the states, I finally watched the video we recorded of the crew lady singing the song by the fire. After that, I finally KZbind this song and landed on this video. For once, I sat down and really really listened to the lyrics and watched Julia sing it, and it finally hit me like a ton of bricks. This song must be the truest embodiment of the deep deep sadness of so many Pacific Islanders/Fijians who work on these secluded islands so far away from home for months at a time watching these foreigners bask in the paradise sun and lounge around with their loved ones, as they serve them night and day with a big big smile and happy face - but the truth is, it’s only an illusion, just an illusion. When I listen to this song now, I see the beautiful white sand and crystal clear water of Fiji, and the care-free happy foreigners lounging around with their drinks......but, I feel the the deep deep sorrow of the islanders who miss their loved ones and their home. Bula to all the beautiful and wonderful Fijian people. May all your dreams and wishes come true!

I've been told 'bout living like a star Hotel Rich, champagne and caviar But no one ever showed me the reverse And that really hurts, baby, it really hurts They try to sell your body and your soul It's the price you pay for rock 'n' roll And no one understands it, how you feel For it's so unreal, oh, it's so unreal Baby, don't you cry for me It's an illusion, just an illusion I thought I knew what like should be It's an illusion, just an illusion When critics crucify your latest show Another drink and then you lose control But then on stage I feel a fire burn There is no return, I'm always on the run I give it to you, babe, with all my heart For it's not too late, oh, it's not too late Baby don't you cry for me It's an illusion, just an illusion I thought I knew what life should be It's an illusion, just an illusion Baby don't you cry for me It's an illusion, just an illusion I thought I knew what life should be It's an illusion, just an illusion

I've listened to this song a few times now and it's a great performance. Of course Julia Zahra is wonderful singer, she is amazing! But I want to give many compliments to the rhythm section here as well. Such a subtile drummer and still grooving and the bassplayer, he is so concentrated and relaxt the same time. In the first part I hear this great hanging full bass sound just after each kickdrum it's placed and at the end he turns to spot on with the drummer. You guys groove man!
