Feb 2022 random-collaboration mandolin
@tsunamidaily and I were paired for Random Collaboration Challenge Week 2. Tim asked me if I had a subject that interested me, and I told him about a space documentary I had just watched. He came up with some great lyrics and suggestions for them. I did what I could,(ie no stellar solo). Enjoyed making this song very much.
EDIT:
tim sez:
i really prefer to write lyrics on a theme or concept someone gives me. it's like writing to spec, and this collaboration was no exception. i really enjoyed stretching the metaphor of space exploration to the limit and then pulling the rug out in the bridge by looking inward. it just seemed to fit.
i couldn't ask for a better realization in music. thank you, @mandolinda.
It’s all stars
verse 1 LOOK
from earth, we've looked so longingly
up where the stars do shine
pointed our lens in to deep space
to discover what we could find.
we've searched for meaning far and wide
yet still we stumble blind
when will the sky fill in with stars
we cannot see be hind?
verse 2 GO
we breached the void with timid steps
in to the black with steely stare
and shown just how much we don't know
about all the wonders there.
we've gone so far, the gateway looms
as if we've done it on a dare
but just what distance can we go
and how long till we get there?
CHORUS:
and the dinosaurs were stars
any aliens were stars
this noise is made of stars
our dreams are made of stars.
but how far can we go?
and what will we find?
it's all stars, it's all stars
it's all stars, it's all stars
-----------------> STELLAR SOLO
BRIDGE:
it matters not what we define
we'll never know what lies inside
however far we may go
what's deep inside we'll never know
everywhere we look, it's all stars
as far as we can see, it's all stars.
DOUBLE CHORUS OUT
SECOND TIME THROUGH, COMBINE BRIDGE OVER CHORUS

Stellar space song! I like the mandolin fills and trills. We are all made of stardust! Nice collab.
@sapient Mar 2022
Mandolin space rock! :D
I love songs about space... songs that make you think about your place in the world and what's out there for us to discover.
Your voice brings this to life so beautifully. The chorus in particular sounds so full of hope.

Y'all. this is so sweet. The mandolin, like the ukulele, is an instrument that makes me smile the second it starts being strummed. And what tender lyrics...I love "this noise is made of stars" especially. Nice collab!

I love the chorus! I love the stellar solo, in name and deed
@cheslain Feb 2022
Very thought-provoking lyrics, nice contemplative feeling you often get when you just look up in the sky. The music is interestingly down-to-earth by comparison. Great mandolin and great vocals with a very cool vibrato. Catchy too.

Love songs about space and this one is very magical. Love the lyrics and it's all come together as a very shiny stellar song!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
This is really lovely! I like the space themed lyrics and the wonder bridge. The mandolin and vocals are really superb! Gorgeous sound and such a great theme/topic!
