  • 🎧 Listen #1: That’s a kooky little song. Catchy chorus.

  • 🎧 Listen #2: Oh there’s that weird song again. I don’t think much of the ending. But that chorus still gets me. What the hell, I’ll buy it.

  • 🎧 Listen #10: OK I‘ve worked out why I like this chorus. The choices she has made with the harmony are sublime. Good stuff.

  • 🎧 Listen #11: Maybe I should stop listening to the second chorus on repeat. I’ll play it all the way through.

  • 🎧 Listen #12: Wait, what the hell are these lyrics anyway?

  • 🎧 Listen #15: This is actually quite clever. A lonely star dreaming of love. And there’s some nice little wordplay on constellations and supernovas and whatnot. Cute.

  • 🎧 Listen #20: Hold on, those lyrics aren’t just cheap puns about space. “She dreamed of a way to ignite”; “Lightyears alway from the hope of being sun-kissed”; “She burns with desperation”; “They both smiled: what a day to explode”; “Break me to pieces”; “Let’s see what a fire feels like”. MY HEART ACHES.

  • 🎧 Listen #25: I’ve just noticed the extra percussion ‘collisions’ in the chorus. How the hell did I miss those until now?!

  • 🎧 Listen #26: Oh, the drums are heartbeats. I’ve been a fool.

  • 🎧 Listen #30: “A supernova grew up to be stardust”. Holy shit, I finally get the ending. This song is so perfect, I’m gonna puke.

  • 🎧 Listen #Gajilion: How can someone create an entire world out of a 4-minute song? I need to write a public love-letter to Sara Bareilles, and herald her genius and humanity to the galaxy.
