Chris grew up with his parents musically raising him on The Beatles. "I am the Walrus" being one of the very first Beatles song he ever heard. Starting out on guitar in 1995 (inspired by Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins), he soon branched out to the bass, the piano, vocals and drums. This talent, in addition to his college education for Audio Engineering and owning his own recording studio, has given Chris the power to be a completely independent songwriter, musician, producer and audio engineer. Chris lives, writes and records in his own "Sunshine Studios" in NY.

J.E.L.L.i. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I walk away with a tear in my eye
more than just friends, well it depends
Never with me, never with me
I've sailed the seas, i've seen the sun
with no one by my side
I've ran the race, and continue to run,
Starlight, Star bright,
can i take your picture tonight?
Starlight, Star bright,
may i take your picture tonight?
Starshine, you're mine,
but your heart floats away with the night,
your heart floats away with the night...
You never knew, that I loved you
But what would it do, would it change you at all..
Oceans apart, you're still in my heart
Never to leave, Never to leave
I've sailed the seas, i've seen the sun
with no one..
Sail away, today
never see, tomorrow
so i'll just dream of yesterday...
Starlight, Star bright,
may i take your picture tonight?
Starlight, Star bright,
to help remember the night?
Starshine, you're mine...
Starshine, you're mine
but your heart floats away with the night
your heart floats away with the night
your heart floats away with the night...
In "Starlight," J.E.L.L.i. sings about unrequited love and unfulfilled dreams. The song starts with a goodbye between two people, one of whom is likely J.E.L.L.i. herself, as she mentions a tear in her eye. The two of them are more than just friends, but they never seem to be together. J.E.L.L.i. has sailed the seas and seen the sun, but she's always alone. She feels like she's running a race, but she hasn't won anything yet.
The chorus of the song is directed at the starlight, which she asks if she can take a picture of, as if to capture a small piece of the beauty she's seeing. She also calls the starlight "mine," which could be interpreted to mean that she's claiming it as her own, or that she thinks it's meant for her. However, she acknowledges that her heart floats away with the night, much like the object of her affection. She confesses that the person she loves doesn't even know that she loves them, wondering if telling them would change anything. Despite being oceans apart, she still carries them in her heart and tries to hold onto the memory of them.
Overall, "Starlight" is an emotional song about unrequited love and the search for someone to share life's experiences with. It expresses the bittersweet longing of a person who is searching for something they may never find.
