The group is comprised of Susan Hanson (guitar, vocals), Devon Smith (guitar, vocals), Rhonda Roberts (bass), Jennifer Sterling (keyboards) and Darin Fitzpatrick (drums). Their influences stem from the gauzy beauty of My Bloody Valentine and Siddal to the hazy daydream trip of Sonic Youth.
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.

The end, but I'm ok now.
Tell me who we are, I don't know now.
Tell me who we are, I don't care now.

The end, but I'm ok now.
Tell me who we are, I don't know now.
Tell me who we are, I don't care now.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Stella Luna's eponymous song "Stella Luna" convey a sense of confusion and detachment. The repetition of "Tell me who we are" suggests a loss of identity or purpose. The phrase "The end" implies a sense of finality or closure, but the following line "but I'm ok now" contradicts this notion. It's almost as if the singer is trying to convince themselves that they're okay even though they're not entirely sure who they are or what their place in the world is.

The repeated line "Tell me who we are" also suggests a sense of disconnect from others. It's as if the singer is not only unsure of themselves but also unsure of their relationships with others. The use of "we" implies a shared sense of uncertainty or confusion.

Overall, the lyrics of "Stella Luna" convey a sense of searching for identity and purpose amidst a feeling of detachment and confusion. The repetition of certain phrases emphasizes this search and highlights the singer's need for clarity and understanding.
