The Stars Are Beside Us by Jack Be (2024)

Let’s keep flying higher my love
The stars
Oh

Everything I thought is gone
But I don’t mind
Whole bunch’a lights turned on

It could be dusk, could be dawn
Could got a watch on arm, clock go off

Not notice my focus is hocus n’ pocusin’
Potent the potion your hopes n’ sins

Opening up has made
What else can I say?
Wait, uh

Never had a night like this, never seen night like this
One which
I could really not care less, don’t even ask where the sun is

I don’t see time, just your eyes
No fast forward, no rewind
Only rise, hold me tight
Play this song into my mind

Let’s keep flying higher, my love
The stars are beside us, my love
There’s nothing except what’s right now
I think for the first time I’m found

Keep flying higher my love
The stars are beside us my love
There’s nothing except what’s right now
I think for the first time I’m-

Let’s keep flying higher my love (My love)
The stars are beside us my love (My love)
There’s nothing except what’s right now (Right now)
I think for the first time I’m
Found

Oh yeah-ah-ah
(oh-hoh-oh-oh)
Oh yeah-ah-ah
(oh-hoh-oh-oh)
Ay-yay-ay-ah
(ohhhh)

Ay-yay-ay-ah
(Ohhhh-oh-woah)

In "The Stars Are Beside Us," Jack Be paints a vivid picture of a romantic journey marked by transcendental experiences and emotional depth. The lyrics invite listeners into a blissful moment shared between two lovers, where the concept of time blurs, emphasizing the beauty of being present with each other. The phrase "Let’s keep flying higher my love" suggests an aspiration for emotional and possibly spiritual elevation together. By associating their love with stars, it symbolizes hope, dreams, and the endless possibilities that love can bring, implying that they are moving toward a higher state of consciousness or joy as a couple.

The opening lines also manifest a sense of release from past burdens: "Everything I thought is gone / But I don't mind." This creates an impression of shedding old thoughts or worries, choosing to embrace the current moment instead. The "whole bunch’a lights turned on" might allude to newfound clarity or excitement that accompanies this emotional liberation. The reference to "dusk" and "dawn" evokes a transition, highlighting the cyclical nature of time but ultimately underscoring that the couple is choosing to cherish their connection in the present. The whimsical language in "hocus n’ pocusin’" implies a kind of magic or enchantment present in their love, suggesting that despite past issues, their relationship has transformed into something potent and mystical.

As the lyrics progress, they delve deeper into the experience of love and the night shared between the couple. The phrase "Never had a night like this" hints at the uniqueness of their current moment, where typical concerns and societal constructs fade away. The singer expresses that they are so absorbed in their partner’s eyes that they are oblivious to the passage of time—a yearning juxtaposed with a rejoiceful surrender. Phrases like "no fast forward, no rewind" resonate with the theme of living fully in the present, embodying a sense of timelessness. The notion that they can just "play this song into my mind" suggests an intimacy that allows memories and feelings to replay, creating a mental soundtrack of their love.

The refrain reinforces the importance of being present and the transformative power of their relationship. "The stars are beside us" reinforces the idea that their love is bright and illuminating, guiding them through the darkness of uncertainty. It embodies a sweet simplicity, encapsulating a moment where nothing else matters except the connection they share. The repetition of "there's nothing except what's right now" reiterates their focus on living in the moment, echoing a feeling of being “found” for the first time. This journey reflects a profound connection and acceptance that stands out amidst life’s chaos, suggesting that love has the power to ground and elevate them simultaneously—even as they navigate their way through uncertainty and past experiences.
