Starry Eyed by VÂN SCOTT published on 2021-05-25T03:48:42Z Beyond getting to collaborate with the legendary Darkchild on this infectiously energetic production, “Starry Eyed” is also a special one to me because of the incredibly vulnerable place it came from. My best friend had recently come out of the closet, and I really struggled to wrap my head around that, especially in the context of my Christian upbringing. I recorded the ethereal instrumental late one night, almost mourning the loss of my faith, which had taken quite a beating. However, it actually ended up being the cathartic spark that helped me realize that my belief was still there. The chorus was one that I had written months before but was perfectly suited for this track and sentiment. I asked my amazingly talented friend, Paris Carney, to help me tell more of the story in the verses. It’s a heartfelt song about holding onto hope and not giving up on each other, even when the world you’ve always known starts changing around you. Genre Pop
