卡拉·狄龙（Cara Dillon），北爱尔兰民谣歌手，英国国籍，天主教徒，1975年7月21日出生于北爱尔兰Londonderry（伦敦德里）（北爱尔兰西北部一自治社区，位于贝尔法斯特市西北）的Dungiven。

Cara Dillon（卡拉·狄龙/卡兰·迪伦）于1975年7月21日在北爱尔兰伦敦德里郡的Dungiven镇出生。自小在传统爱尔兰音乐世家成长。幼年即展露惊人的声乐能力，在14时便赢得全爱尔兰歌唱大奖赛（All Ireland Singing Trophy）。同时，青少年时代的她便加入Oige, De Dannan等乐队，从那开始，之后于1995年又加入当时极负盛名的民谣超级乐队，Equation。然而，因为在音乐上的分歧，在乐队在Blanco Y Negro（隶属于Warner Music Group华纳音乐集团）的首张专辑发售之前，Dillon和原乐队成员Sam Lakeman在1996年离开了，并且之后和同一唱片公司签订了独立的协议。

Cara和Sam（现称为北斗星，Polar Star）在随后的四年内创作，录制，实验不同的音乐风格。虽然后来他们把这段经历视为确定音乐风格，完善歌曲创作技艺的过程，但却充满羁绊和来自唱片公司的商业压力。这期间，Cara在Mike Oldfield的专辑Tubular Bells III演唱的Man In The Rain做为一首单曲在全世界范围内发行。不过到2000年和Warners公司解除合约时并未发行一首歌曲，与此形成鲜明对比的是，在加入Rough Trade Records后他们低调的发行了传统元素为主的专辑。

Falling like a star

i'm falling like a star, and i'm holding on for dear life

i'm about to reach the ground

i'm coming home to earth

i've reached my town

and they said that you couldn't sit on a cloud,

cause you'd fall right through

well how is it then, that i managed to?

and how did i say what i just said to you?

am i thinking out loud, did you even ask me to?

i'm falling like a star

and i'm holding on for dear life

i'm about to reach the ground

i'm coming home to earth

i've reached my town

and the streets are empty how, but for the wrong reasons

they've all gone and left me alone

and they left with a vengance, and they talk of their experience

and they'll try and convince me, to join them

holy, holy

holy is the only word i know these days

holy, holy

holy is the only word i know these days

ha han

those flowers have never experienced anything like this before

they've been picked from their wilderness, put in a jar

now they're feeling the heat of this room

and i'm falling like a star, and i'm holding on for dear life

i'm about to reach the ground

i'm coming home to earth

i've reached my town

falling like a star

i only came down for a day, i didn't want to stay

falling like a star

i only came down for a day, i didn't want to stay
