‘Starfull-Acoustic’: Comfort in a Bottle

‘Starfull-Acoustic’ is calm in its delivery, allowing the lyrics and soundscape to seemingly speak for themselves. Its lines offer a narrative that is unsteady on its feet, wrapped in uncertainty and feeling unmoored. The narrators words attempt to offer reprieve and comfort, rocking us through the inevitability of change with a firm, moving grip.

“…Love (has) light that would never fade.

Like a star in the sky, it would guide their way…”.

The song attempts to pat at grief, offering comfort in moments that feel untethered because of grief. The calmness in the soundscape attempts to keep us in that state of calm, giving us rhythms we can lull away our worries to, keeping steady in a world that feels constant.

‘Starfull-Acoustic’ offers a calm, experienced perspective that attempts to connect with people that seem spiralling in this sense of negativity and loss. The lyrics and vibe feel like slow hands rushing to comfort, attempting to ground us by really just saying “nobody said it was easy”.

“…We can all get lost in a world so hard…”.

This movement that volleys between narrative and a sort of all-knowing, all-seeing narrator attempts to facilitate respite in connection. That regardless of the pain and hardship we’re experiencing at the moment we will get through it all.

‘Starfull-Acoustic’ by Maugic is an ode of sorts, either to the little girl in the narrative or the listener themselves. It feels like a song that attempts to keep us all moving, especially when things get tough. Moments of love and belonging, and connection in times when you’ve lost something are what keeps us tethered. What keeps us alive in a sense.

All this makes for a moving, engaging and warm listen.
