Consistent regional touring and handful of high profile shows opening for acts such as Switchfoot, Daughtry and Sara Bareilles continued to build upon the group’s fan base, resulting in a string of fan-voted awards. Most recently, the group won a spot on the Ernie Ball sponsored Mayercruise 2009 (opening for acts such as John Mayer, O.A.R. and Guster) and “Best Pop/Rock Band” honors in the 2009 “Absolute Best of Tulsa” Music Awards.
Now, roughly two years after forming, the band has emerged from the studio with its full length debut CD, Love Gone Mad, a wholly realized reflection of love, life and rollercoaster of emotions that accompany them. With it, Stars Go Dim is proving to be more than just a singles driven band.
Yes, there are more than a few radio ready cuts within, but when listened to as whole, Love Gone Mad explores the full range of emotions when love does just that. From the stages of infatuation in “Incredible” and “Crazy” to the struggles of maintaining a relationship in “Where Has Our Love Gone” to realizing it’s over, breaking things off, moving on and starting over in “Letting Go,” “Walk On” and “Get Over it,” the band has painted a moving portrait of love and life in progress.
Serendipitously, the band never set out to create an album with such a broad and over arching theme – it all came naturally.
“After the first three song demo came together,” Avalos says, “I basically wrote the rest of the album in two weeks. The theme just came together organically - it’s not like I was thinking about it. I probably wrote 20 songs in roughly two weeks and this is what came out of it.”
“It’s not like we set out to create a concept record,” he explains. “We were just writing a bunch of songs. When we came together, we didn’t even know what kind of band we were.”
Ultimately, SGD has proven to be a band that connects incredibly on an individual level, whether through song or by interacting with its audience. Building upon the experimental spirit that led the band to document its evolution before its fans, Stars Go Dim continues to think progressively, gradually revealing the full story of Love Gone Mad in a multi-media experience that includes the DVD, Life.Love.Music.Soul.
Beyond that, the band’s vision is explored even further in the digital novel Love Remembered, which was inspired by the album. It’s a tale of two couples separated by time, whose lives intertwine as they experience love, loss and restoration – and learn that love is the one thing worth fighting for, even when it has gone mad.
If you haven’t yet experienced Stars Go Dim, now is the time. With a new emotionally charged album, incorporated media presentation and compelling live show, it will only take a few listens to understand why local media such as Urban Tulsa Weekly says: “It’s not a matter of if, but rather when this band will break.”
Never Enough
Stars Go Dim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it stay this way can′t let this moment end
You set off a dream in me, geeting louder now can you heart it echoing
Take my hand
Will you share this with me
Cause darling without you
All the shine of thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the night
Towers of gold are still too little
These hand could hold the world but
It'll never be enough, never be enough
For mee
Never never, never never, never for mee, for me...
Never enough... never enough... never enough for me, for me, for me...
All the shine of thousand spotlights
All the star we steal from the night sky
Well never be enough, never be enough.
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold a world but it′ll
Never be enough, never be enough... for me
Never never, never never, never for me, for me
Never enough... never never, never enough.
Never never, never enough... for me, for me, for me...
For me
The song Never Enough by Stars Go Dim is a soulful ballad that speaks about a longing that can never be fulfilled. The opening lines of the song say, ‘I'm trying to hold my breath, Let it stay this way can′t let this moment end.’ With these lines, the singer conveys a sense of urgency and desperation, as if they want to make every moment last forever. The next few lines say, ‘You set off a dream in me, getting louder now can you hear it echoing.’ This dream could be interpreted in different ways - perhaps it's a dream of being with someone, or a dream of achieving a particular goal or ambition. Regardless, the dream is growing stronger, and the singer wants to share it with someone.
The chorus of the song says ‘All the shine of thousand spotlights, All the stars we steal from the night, Sky will never be enough, never be enough, Towers of gold are still too little, These hands could hold a world but, It'll never be enough, never be enough.’ These lines speak about the insatiable nature of human desire - no matter how much we achieve or acquire, it can never be enough. The ‘thousand spotlights’ and ‘stars we steal from the night sky’ are metaphors for fame and success, while the ‘Towers of gold’ represent wealth and material possessions. Despite having all these things, the singer feels that it'll never be enough.
