After breaking up in the summer of 2011, Sean decided to revive SlowMotionNoise in 2012, bringing it back to its original state: a solo side project. SlowMotionNoise has been put to rest in 2014.

SlowMotionNoise officially began in 2005 after a renaming of Sean Sheridan's previous solo project Project Double Ess. In 2007, SMN turned into a full band, with Sean on vocals/synth, Matt Taylor and Jason Haist on guitar, and Dave Bembenek on bass.

During the first half of 2009, SlowMotionNoise saw the departure of Matt and Dave. Shortly after Dave's departure, in June of 2009, Kristin Cavarsan joined the band as the new bassist.

January of 2010 brought a new sound to SlowMotionNoise with the addition of second vocalist Dannie Wright.

In May 2011, original guitarist, Jason Haist, left the band to pursue his hip-hop career.

After months of inactivity and member departures, SlowMotionNoise announced their indefinite hiatus in July 2011. However, in late October Sean stated that he has plans to revive SlowMotionNoise in 2012 as his solo/side project, bringing it back to its original state, however, no new songs have been released since 2014.

These Starlit Skies
SlowMotionNoise Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's pretend
That everything will be OK
I'll make amends as soon as the night fades away
These star lit skies, remind me of the days
When summer's lips grazed gently across your face

The music in the air
The rhythm our hearts

Will never fade away with time

Standing hand in hand
Between love and hate
Endlessly you're mine

Let's pretend
That everything will be OK
I'll make amends as soon as the night fades away
These star lit skies, remind me of the days
When summer's lips grazed gently across your face

I've run out of breath
I'm at a loss for words
Someone please save me

Spiraling straight down
Destroying what I've made

Love me, Hate me, Remember me

Let's pretend
That everything will be OK
I'll make amends as soon as the night fades away

These star lit skies, remind me of the days
When summer's lips grazed gently across your face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SlowMotionNoise's song "These Starlit Skies" portray a bittersweet feeling of longing and nostalgia for a past love. The singer begins by wishing to believe that everything will work out in the end, but the use of the phrase "let's pretend" suggests a deep awareness of the fragility of that hope. As the night fades into starry skies, memories of the past come rushing back, particularly the gentle touch of a summer romance. The singer reflects on the power of music and love to transcend time and remain eternal, even as other things change and fade away.

The second verse introduces a sense of conflict, as the singer stands "between love and hate" and seems to be losing control. There is a sense of desperation and loss as they confess to feeling out of breath and at a loss for words. The image of spiralling down and destroying what has been made suggests that the relationship may be falling apart, with the singer powerless to prevent it. The final chorus returns to the theme of wishing for everything to be okay and hoping for reconciliation, even as the sense of loss and uncertainty lingers.

Overall, "These Starlit Skies" is a poignant and introspective meditation on love and loss, with an emphasis on the power of memories and music to preserve what might otherwise be lost.

Line by Line Meaning

Let's pretend
Let's ignore reality for now and imagine a better future

That everything will be OK
That all the problems will disappear and things will turn out fine

I'll make amends as soon as the night fades away
I'll fix any mistakes I've made as soon as I get the chance

These star lit skies, remind me of the days
Looking at the stars in the sky brings back memories of happier times

When summer's lips grazed gently across your face
When I was with you and felt the warmth of summer and your love

The music in the air
The sounds around us as we dance to the beat

The rhythm our hearts
Our hearts beating in unison with the music

Will never fade away with time
These memories will always be with us and never disappear

Standing hand in hand
Together, side by side

Between love and hate
In the midst of conflicting emotions

Endlessly you're mine
You'll always be mine, no matter what
