Setting the tone with an enchanting, descending melody, whilst guitar and bass start to immerse us, kirk & StarAV open their collaborative single, Endless with atmospheric and immersive vocals.
StarAV reminisces on the track, singing how memories of the past were better than they were, as he croons introspectively about our “lonely world’ and the human condition.
We love StarAV‘s range and vocal tone, fused with the immersive alternative rock meets indie hybrid soundscape that kirk has created.
Elaborating on the meaning of the song, StarAV confirms that “Endless covers the theme of the pursuit of happiness in a world of seven billion unique experiences. Coming to terms with the fleeting nature of happiness with patience and perseverance. It ends with the allusion to the idea of leaving opportunities up to chance if needed.”
When elaborating on his creative process and influences, StarAV says, “[Endless has a] bit of a slowcore/shoegaze influence in the feel of it. The lyrics were written intuitively as I was going along. I overthink about life, loss and purpose. It comes out nicely as lyrics oftentimes. I like to leave it ambiguous enough for someone to project their own experiences onto.”
We love the message of the song, which is to trust the universe and try and be in the present moment, which can be especially hard in these trying times. We are grateful to kirk and StarAV for sharing their vision with us and have added Endless to our New Music Spotlight playlist!
