Songs that help you express how you feel are both rare and special. The Meskimo’s ‘…The Stars Would Explode’ is one such track that is absolutely beautiful. It is intimate and calming, written with the intention of conveying the deepest emotions of love for someone and taking over where words fail to achieve that goal. Originally an instrumental, the chill track is a collaboration between composer/producer The Meskimo and singer-songwriter Howe, who have come together to create a mesmerizing experience that is quite touching.
Often hypnotic, the sounds at the center of the song really stand out when paired with Howe’s vocals. It creates a trance-like atmosphere where the vulnerabilities accompany the honesty in the lyrics. The compatibility of the synth and guitars with a laidback beat along with Howe’s captivating voice brings the concept of the song to life. The very first words “travelled 30 hours straight/ just to see your face” captures the essence of the song: a complete dedication towards an individual guided by an overwhelming sense of love. The detailed production and creative synergy between the two artists really shines brightly on such a tender track. Overall, it would be accurate to call it an extremely soothing song that reminds us of how powerful falling uncontrollably for someone can be.
The collaboration between The Meskimo and Howe is a testament to what can be achieved when creativity is fused at this level with the common language being music. It is exciting and leaves us wanting more, especially since it is clear that they are two artists who are confident in expressing their deepest emotions through their work. ‘…The Stars Would Explode’ is a special song and one that is bound to stay with you for a long while.
