On The Outside (2005, EMI Records Ltd)
Ému par la disparition tragique et mystérieuse de Jeremiah Duggan, le chanteur de Starsailor a écrit d'un trait une chanson extrêmement touchante de compassion et d'amour de son prochain. Accompagné d'une guitare acoustique et d'un orgue discret en arrière-plan, il chante des mots simples sur une belle mélodie, triste comme le souvenir que laissent les photos souriantes des pierres tombales. L'album très rock On the Outside se referme ainsi sur un pur moment d'émotion, une gerbe folk déposée à la mémoire de tous les inconnus qui, comme Jeremiah, sont fauchés avant l'heure par le hasard injuste de nos existences.

Vidéo de Justice for Jeremiah, 2007.
Paroles : James Walsh. Musique : Starsailor.
Jeremiah was dealt his hand
Went off to another land this evening
For to find some inner peace
And to see a better way of living
He only went to try to change something
His poor young life was pulled from under him
Found him by the motorway
Jeremiah ran away from something
Jeremiah's mother wept
For the answers they had left behind them
He only went to try and change something
His poor young life was pulled from under him
And everytime I see the sun go down I think of you
The polizei I have swept it out of sight
There's nothing new
And everytime I see the sun go down I think of you
I hope someday someone will feel the need to tell the truth
Little one do not fear
The ways of the world
Will soon be clear
