The sound is instantly captivating as it spans the far reaches of the sonic space, inviting you to lose yourself inside of the magnificent musical universe that is LORD & LAND.
Orchestral percussive elements emerge, providing some forward momentum to this deep and introspective work of art. All of these seemingly otherworldly sounds culminate on the refrain, which invites more of a straight forward beat into the arrangement– it’s often called the hook for a reason.

From the emotionally charged verses to the divine falsettos on the hook, this song is going to move you in ways you didn’t even know were possible.
About the track, LORD & LAND offers: “Burn out the Stars“ is about seeing worth in one another and choosing to love in the darkest of times. This emotional track is designed to draw you in with its raw vocals as it swells into an inspiring chorus.” We wholeheartedly agree with every word.
