The Stone Roses released their second album, Second Coming, in 1994, which received mixed reviews. The group soon disbanded after several line-up changes throughout the supporting tour, which began with Reni departing in early 1995, followed by Squire in April 1996. Brown and Mani dissolved the remains of the group in October 1996 following their appearance at Reading Festival.
Following much intensified media speculation, the Stone Roses called a press conference on 18 October 2011 to announce that the band had reunited and would perform a reunion world tour in 2012, including three homecoming shows in Heaton Park, Manchester. Plans to record a third album in the future were also floated but only two singles were released. In June 2012, Chris Coghill, the writer of a new film which is set during the Stone Roses 1990 Spike Island show, revealed that the band "have at least three or four new tracks recorded". In June 2013, a documentary about the band's reformation directed by Shane Meadows and titled The Stone Roses: Made of Stone was released.
In 2016, the Stone Roses released their first new material in two decades. The band members continued to tour until June 2017, at which point cryptic remarks by Brown indicated the band had split again, which was later confirmed in a 2019 interview with Squire.

Your Star Will Shine
The Stone Roses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through deep blue velvet skies
Shine for all the world to see
The universe in your eyes
When the storm outside is raging
And the dogs they howl your name
Lay down, sleep, I'll kiss you
Na na na na na na na na
Hush my darling, don't you cry
I'll stay by your side until morning
All through the night, I'll watch the skies
And your distant sun
Will shine like the gun
That's trained right between your daddy's eyes
The Stone Roses' song "Your Star Will Shine" is a beautiful and emotional ballad that speaks to the eternal and universal nature of love. The song's lyrics speak of a lover or a partner who is going through a difficult time, perhaps due to some kind of trauma or heartbreak, and the singer promises to be there for them no matter what, helping them weather the storm until their star shines again.
The opening lines suggest that the person in question has gone through a dark period and has retreated within themselves, but the singer remains optimistic that their star will shine again, illuminating the darkness and radiating the beauty of the universe. Despite the chaos and turmoil of the outside world, the singer offers the reassurance of their steadfast love and support, promising to stay by their partner's side and watch over them through the night.
The chorus is simple but powerful, repeating the affirmation that the person's star will shine again, a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. The song's final lines suggest a possible cause for the person's pain and anguish, referring to a traumatic event involving their father. However, the metaphorical language and dreamlike quality of the song leave the interpretation open to personal reflection and introspection, encouraging listeners to find their own meaning within the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
Your star will shine again one day
Your brilliance and potential will once again be recognized and celebrated
Through deep blue velvet skies
In the vast expanse of the universe and all its mysteries
Shine for all the world to see
Let your light be a beacon of hope and inspiration for everyone around you
The universe in your eyes
Your passion and curiosity reflects the wonders of the cosmos
When the storm outside is raging
During the turbulent times and conflicts you face in the physical world
And the dogs they howl your name
The people and forces against you are making their presence known
Lay down, sleep, I'll kiss you
Rest easy, for I will provide comfort and assurance
Your star will shine again
Have faith that your talents and potential will not be extinguished
Hush my darling, don't you cry
Be still, be calm, don't let your emotions overwhelm you
I'll stay by your side until morning
I'll be here to support and comfort you through the night
All through the night, I'll watch the skies
I'll keep vigil, looking for signs of hope and inspiration in the stars
And your distant sun
Your hopes and dreams that seem far off and unattainable
Will shine like the gun
Will be as powerful and impactful as a weapon
That's trained right between your daddy's eyes
A reference to conflict and competition with authority figures and societal expectations
