about

This is pretty much a love song to J. Sometimes the weight of everything gets too much, you have days/weeks where everything seems really mundane and repetitive, especially in winter - you wish you could become a magical genie and pick everything up and fly away to somewhere with no problems or worries. it’s funny how the release of this song has tied in with everyone being locked down in their homes, I hope people listening can feel like they’re being flown away from all the rubbish going on right now and have a laugh at the thought of TJ flying around the world in ‘Stellar’.

It sounds silly but I always wanted to write a song where I ‘sing the riff’ - having an instrument plays the same melody as the vocal, there are so many songs I love where that happens. There was a special moment when Beni (who co produced the song with me) played the ‘don’t need to know’ guitar lick over the beat, it gave it this super playful feeling that ended up being at the centre of the whole song!

lyrics

Verse 1

Let's go for a ride in the stellar
take a trip down south with the swallows
how's it feel to lose all that pressure
I'm your cosmic lover

Chorus

Don't need to know
where we're going
just climb aboard and
we can fly together

Don't need to know
where we're going
just climb aboard and
we can watch the stars all night

Verse 2

Gliding over mountains and vistas,
lets touch down in Juan Teotihuacan
I'm just here to show something different
I'm your cosmic lover

Bridge

You don't need to question
you don't need to doubt
you don't need these worries
spinning round and round

let me ease your pressure
let me ease your doubt
pull you out of winters grip
and get you out of here (here we go now)

Chorus

Don't need to know
where we're going
just climb aboard and
we can fly together

Don't need to know
where we're going
just climb aboard and
we can watch the stars all night
