“Of Stars and the Silent Night” is an elegy on human civilization, memory and destiny. It sings of a small but determined soul that embarks on a journey of no return in the long night, trying to fight against the eternal darkness with a fragile body. The ‘child in swaddling clothes’ in the song is perhaps each and every one of us: the perpetuator of civilization and the bearer of hope. Even when the stars fade and history is lost, there are still people who are determined to go forward and light the first flame to be rekindled in the silence of the universe.
The song's layering of multi-layered harmonies and ethereal vocals creates an almost ritualistic chanting atmosphere, as if civilization is whispering in the depths of the universe. The low-frequency beeping sound that wanders in the background is like the pulsation of time itself, or the uninterrupted thrumming of the strings of destiny - a reminder to the listener that the struggles of the individual, though small, are engraved in the endless colors of the night. The whole song is like an echo that travels through the light years, evoking the oldest question of mankind between the deep and the empty: where do we come from, and where are we sailing to?
