They inked a deal with Clairecords in early 2002 and released the "Stargazer" EP later that summer. It was recorded entirely analog to tape through all vintage recording equipment, using only tube gear, tube mics, and vintage amplifiers to achieve a very big - warm expanse of sound. A non-stop voyage from the shattering opener "Change" and intensely cinematic "Stargazer" to the swirling, organ-like Leslie guitar tones of the sci-fi "Antares" and the climaxing album closer - "A Bridge to Nowhere". The sounds heard on "Stargazer" via understated drums, percolating analog synths, wildly-effected guitars and the layered vocal bliss of Hanson and Smith all combine to create a feel for the future, one of space, and of beauty.
A Bridge To Nowhere
Stella Luna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You missed me, don't say no
It's the perfect time
Can you still be mine?
I'm mixed up
Modesty fooled me
Say it sleepy eyes
Can you still be mine?
Have ourselves a fun time
Innocent don't be shy with your hair and your make up
Pretty eyes realised and the shoes that you put on
Inncocent never shy and your friends say that you laugh alot
So why, so why cry on the shoes that you look for??
Take my hand here we are...

Sleepy night calm somewhere
In a peaceful, quiet evening somewhere
You missed me, don't say no
You feel my absence, please don't deny it
It's the perfect time
This is the ideal moment
Can you still be mine?
Are we still together?
I'm mixed up
I feel confused and uncertain
Modesty fooled me
Being humble and discreet deceived me
Someone who could be so young, don't say no
You seem to be too inexperienced, but don't refuse me
Say it sleepy eyes
Tell me what you think, even if you're drowsy
Have ourselves a fun time
Let's enjoy ourselves
Innocent don't be shy with your hair and your make up
Don't be self-conscious about your appearance
Pretty eyes realised and the shoes that you put on
You're aware of your beautiful eyes and the shoes you chose
Innocent never shy and your friends say that you laugh alot
You're always carefree and your friends admire your laughter
So why, so why cry on the shoes that you look for??
Why are you upset about the shoes you wanted?
Take my hand here we are...
Let's be together and move forward
