Introducing “Touch the Stars Again” is the sound of some vehicle taking off in the distance. Which suits this song by Head Full of Stars as it’s space and glam rock sounds serve well a message in the song encouraging the listener to reach for their sources of inspiration and beyond the mundane everyday existence that tends to define our lives. The expansive and psychedelic melodies and words reminding us that we too quickly forgot what it’s like to be connected with the energies that make us recognize there’s more to life than we often think and we can be excited for something, have something to look forward to than simply being a consumer drone, more than a cog in someone else’s machine, if we can reconnect with a genuine sense of our passions that can hide behind the clouds of compromised visions and the overburdened demands of “real life” if we go too long without daring to live as humans excited by something beautiful and benevolent and real and not mediated by a way of living we’ve all allowed to dominate the existence of everyone and everything on the planet. Fans of the likes of Spiritualized, a more pop end of Hawkwind and, heck, a band songwriter William Bernhard was in the spectacular space rock/psych folk group Sky Cries Mary will appreciate the way Head Full of Stars infuses its guitar work with a noisy and heady psychedelia and rediscovered enthusiasm.
