Stella By Starlight
Anita O'Day/Takeshi Inomata & His West Liners/Toshiyuki Miyama & The All-Star Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through years of endless springs
The murmur of a brook at eventide
That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide
That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
She's everything on this earth to me
That great symphonic theme
That's Stella by starlight
And not a dream
My heart and i agree
She's everything on this earth to me
The lyrics to Anita O'Day's song Stella by Starlight portray the power and intensity of love. The opening line "The song a robin sings" sets the scene of nature, symbolizing the birth and renewal of life. The following line "Through years of endless springs" signifies the longevity of this love - a love that has survived the test of time. The song goes on to describe the various forms in which Stella is present - the murmur of a brook at eventide, where two lovers hide; the great symphonic theme, Stella by starlight - embodying the idea that Stella exists everywhere and in everything.
The last two lines of the song "My heart and I agree, she's everything on this earth to me" are the crux of the song, as the singer declares her love for Stella unequivocally. These lines encapsulate the entire message of the song - that true love is all-consuming and all-encompassing, and that nothing else on earth matters as much.

The song a robin sings
The joyful melody that is sung by a robin
Through years of endless springs
Throughout many seasons of new beginnings
The murmur of a brook at eventide
The gentle sound of a stream at nightfall
That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide
That flows through a secluded space where two people in love seek refuge
That great symphonic theme
The majestic orchestral composition
That's Stella by starlight
Referred to as Stella by the light of the stars
And not a dream
It is real, not just a figment of imagination
My heart and I agree
Both my innermost feelings and I declare
She's everything on this earth to me
That she is the most significant thing in my life

"Two things can slow down the Time, a black hole and Miles Davis; and I'm not sure about the black hole." Albert Einstein - blues version.

Einstein's original equation was E=Miles Davis Squared, but he had to scrap it because, of course, Miles was never square.

Every John Coltrane first notes sounds like the voice of God, and especially this one.

Happy Birthday Miles! I just heard that Jimmy Cobb left us at the rip age of 91! I am sure you are glad to see him. You got all your band mates up there now. You and your band will be making some more good music! Thank You and the guys for this wonderful album!
