Across The Stars

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) dir. George Miller

“There was a formula within the band of, you know, girl power, or, ‘we don't like boys!’ – which we loved. But on my own it was more experimental, conceptually. The rulebook was thrown out the window of what a standard pop record should sound like,” she says. For “Angel of my Dreams”, she wanted to tap into her own experiences; not just that of a group, but hers. “It’s about my love-hate relationship with the music industry. I love being a pop star, but I also hate what comes with it. I feel like that song is, like, a three and a half minute version of my whole career squashed into a song. The opening sequence, to me, feels very like The X Factor, and then when the beat comes in it’s like I’ve been catapulted into the music industry. I wanted it to feel super theatrical. Almost like it's got three acts.”

" the world is full of unanswered questions. beyond all limits, all reason ... the answers await. "

To kiss a forehead is to erase worry. I kiss your forehead. ─ Marina Tsvetaeva, “To Kiss a Forehead.”

Oh but you are alone. Who knows what you’ve spoken to the darkness in the bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink. The walls of your bower closing in about you. A hutch to trammel some wild thing. So fair and so cold like a morning of pale spring still clinging to winter’s chill.
