Stargaze is about a hot September night in Manhattan at the start in music school where my friends and I all first met, we went to our friend's apartment in the lower east side. And we all just connected and I felt like life is starting on the real. If I'm honest, the majority of the song is pure fantasy, in real life it was just a really great hang. in Leon's universe - the fantasies lead to the creation of sounds... and it feels like a beautiful fantasy
lyrics
Stars Gazed at her place
We talked through that day
She had seemed something akin to my same
A curtain of night
Fell softly on words, and my
Stars Gazed
Stars Came
It felt like it’d been years
Something driftin shadows fear here
A curtain of thighs lips ties untied
I remember what I wanted to say
Now that dreams fade away
Now her face fades away
That’s what I wanted to say
Now her delicate waking moment we saved
Dreams fade away
Stars Saved and Phens Place
We spend our first day
In New York City we both came
To make it though we went our own way
I remember what I wanted to say
Now that her face fades away
Now our dreams fade away
That’s what I wanted to say
Now her face fades away
Now her delicate waking moment we played
Piano Solo
Stars Gaze at the night in the end of the dreams
That I found in your sighs
That I found in the seams
Your dress is like pearls
Oh girl.
