Ever feel like you've booked a one-way ticket to the wrong planet? "Stars" by Hum captures that cosmic sense of missing out, with a dash of interstellar melancholy. The protagonist's significant other is metaphorically stuck counting stars, possibly reflecting on missed opportunities or unmet dreams (or maybe just really into astronomy). As she zones out in the backyard, our narrator brings home everything but what she actually needs—classic human error! The image of her sitting naked with a crumpled paper full of cryptic numbers adds an eerie layer. Is it a broken code, a lost love, or just the worst-ever attempt at sudoku under the stars? This track perfectly encapsulates that feeling when you're not sure if you're light-years ahead or just spaced out.
