:: Is it asking too much of my vacant smile ::
Band: Dubstar
Song: Stars
I like this song a lot. It's a good song to listen to on a wet and rainy day alone, watching the drops pelting against the window, left open just a crack for ventilation; mug of hot tea steaming in your hands...
We used to go night cycling to it and somehow, the 2 of us would just revel at how big the world is and how little and insignificant we were. Yeah yeah, I know, we were kinda nihilistic but hey, we were (and I still am) angsty and still looking for meaning...
I remember sleeping under the stars together during the secondary school orchestra camps on the open air benches in the exercise area... this was one of the many songs we would listen to along with stuff from radiohead and the smashing pumpkins. It's kind of special when you can just bask in the presence of someone and lose yourself in the solidarity... it's kinda cool.
*sigh*
I love how the introductory bass riff begins the song. The lyrics are kinda... I dunno... cynical? spacey? questioning? contemplative? After all these years, I still haven't fully comprehended them but somehow, they feel kinda right... and in the right atmosphere, I can just shut myself out from everything around me listening to this song... well, just for 4 minutes then. : )
