It's been quite some time since I have posted an original concept, song, or idea of mine. Let's get right into the action!
For this post, I will be explaining the story behind my song, "Burnout Stars."
I was always fascinated with outer-space and stars. The concept of how some can blowout and therefore, 'die,' always fascinated me. It's amazing how vast our universe really is, and we haven't nearly seen all there is to offer in our outer-world.
One day, since I am also a gamer, I was listening to a track off of the 'Kingdom Hearts' original soundtrack, called "Dearly Beloved." It's one of my favorite gaming tracks, and after to listening to it that day, a fire blazed in me of inspiration to write a song about space and the universe. Of course at the same time, somehow tying it in with human emotion, and the choices that we make while we are living on Earth.
"But if we dare to dream ourselves,
Then we should know, that in the end,
Only time will tell, if heaven or hell,
Will take us for, who we are,
If we are the brightest ones, or if,
We're burnout stars, to come undone,"

Space is so vast, and that's what makes it so exciting to me. Across horizons of stars in the sky, and that's not even half of what there is to see. It's so awesome! Anyways, back to explaining this song. =)
"But if we dare to dream ourselves,
Then we should know, that in the end,
Only time will tell,"
This section means that we as people are not afraid to dream. We're not afraid to have dreams, goals, and destinations that we want to reach in our lives. However, the counter-message in this section is that time is what will be the deciding factor in whether we achieve our dreams, or not.
"If heaven or hell,
Will take us for, who we are,
If we are the brightest ones, or if,
We're burnout stars, to come undone,"
Before I get to explaining this section specifically, I just wanted to say that the first line of this section is not meant to be religious in any shape or form. In this section, I clarify in this song that 'heaven' symbolize the good choices that you make in life, and 'hell' represents the bad choices. So in the end, 'heaven' will take you, or 'hell' will take you, if committed good or bad things overall, in your life.
What does this have to do with space?
For me, I put a personal touch on this song, and I believe that karma exists in the world. I also believe that if you make a good or bad decision, karma, or in this case, the 'universe' will recognize that accordingly, and fulfill that action. Those are the main ideals of "Burnout Stars." Karma, good and bad choices, and being one with where you live, and realizing that there is more to see while you are living. Bottom line, don't hesitate to explore, but be responsible doing it! =)
Enjoy the mini-voice recording of "Burnout Stars" and till next time, peace out to all my drafters!
Sincerely,
Julian.
