The record itself wouldn't have been the same without the brilliant friendship and guidance of producer Chris Badami (The Early November, The Starting Line), an awesome mastering job by Scott Hull (John Mayer, Bruce Springsteen), or the chops of all of the friends that joined Pete in the studio. We could get into Pete's influences or who we think he sounds like, but the fact is that it isn't important to us because it isn't important to him. At 21, his only concern now is climbing his own ladder of self-realization, wherever it may lead.
To clear up any confusion... after a year of traveling the country solo and with a band, Pete decided in September of 2007 to opt out of his contract with former record label Regular Music due to obligations that weren't being met. He began attending classes in the fall again at the University of Akron as an Accounting major specializing in Music Business. He stayed busy playing solo gigs out of town almost every weekend throughout the midwest, and is continuing to do so. He is taking things slow this winter to write and demo a new record of undetermined length... to be released independently, unless something else comes up!
Stars
Pete Nischt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's with a grain of salt your love is found.
And The moon, the stars, the sky,
They all know why and just what goes down
When you say he's down and out
I can't believe you cause I don't know how
And I have found
That the day will soon be mine
I'll take his crown
And the stars in the sky that hold the wishes of my eye
Will carry us away, away, away
When our worlds collide
Just last night I had a dream
Where I saw the stars for every wish they had been claimed
And I awoke with a jolt when I was swept into the air
Oh waking up without you is never fair
But will my feet ever leave the ground?
You say you love me but you don't know how
When our worlds collide
And I have found
That the day will soon be mine
I'll take his crown
And the stars in the sky that hold the wishes of my eye
Will carry us away, away, away
When our worlds collide
When our worlds collide
And I have found
That the day will soon be mine
I'll take his crown
And the stars in the sky that hold the wishes of my eye
Will carry us away, away, away
When our worlds collide
The song "Stars" by Pete Nischt is a reflective song about love that is written in simple yet poetic language. The song starts by stating that the singer will take down their feelings in a humble way, suggesting that what they feel might not be worth much. The singer expresses a sense of disbelief when they are told that someone they care for is down and out. The lyrics indicate doubt, perhaps because of past experience, or simply because of the complex nature of love.
The chorus of the song is the most powerful and catchy part. It talks about how, in a moment of greatness, when the singer's world collides with the person they are singing to, they will take their place and the stars in the sky will carry them away. The song is about the possibility of love, of the future it may hold, but also about the insecurities one may feel in that future. The stars are used as metaphors for wishes, hopes, and dreams, and they carry a sense of magic and possibility.
The song ends with the declaration that, when the day comes and the worlds collide, the singer will take their place and the stars will guide them on a new journey. The tone of the song is wistful and romantic, with a sense of excitement and apprehension about the future. It is a song about love that is both magical and real, and the way we navigate it.
