“More Than A Shooting Star” by GAZ

“More Than A Shooting Star” by GAZ, a classic rock band with a uniquely invigorating style, is a great rock tune about the kind of love that is short but impactful. These kinds of relationships can be the most fun, and the most disorienting. It feels like a whirlwind of hopeful emotions that quickly dissolves into a memory, a beautiful flame that burns out too soon. GAZ perfectly captures this journey through their storytelling, backed by dancing pianos, uplifting drums, and emotional chords.

Any kind of end to a relationship can be devastating, but there is something particularly powerful about a fleeting connection. A love that burns quickly and brightly can feel like it is taking over your life and your brain, and when it is suddenly gone, it leaves you feeling like something was taken from you. The what ifs can be particularly strong in a fleeting connection, causing rumination and regret that is almost impossible to escape from because of the lack of closure. Lyrics like “how can the gods have commit such a crime” show how deeply the narrator is being impacted, so much so that he feels like he has to blame the divine in his search for solace. 

This track has the captivating feel of a live performance, helped by the relentless drums and riveting electric guitar solo. The impassioned vocals create tension backed by this dense arrangement, mirroring the emotional chaos in the narrator as he realizes the love that “felt so right” is only flitting through his life, just like a shooting star.
