This song has been on low rotation on 96x for a while now, but I finally Shazam'd it on the way to work today. I was going to post something snarky like "this new song incorporates everything I loved about early- to mid-90s rock", but then when I googled it I found out this song did indeed come out in 1995! At first, I was happy that I had pegged the time frame so nicely, and then I started to wonder how I had missed this song 20 years ago...
Apparently "Stars" was a minor radio hit for the now defunct Hum, off their 1995 major label debut "You'd Prefer an Astronaut". Either it did not get airplay in Hampton Roads at the time, or I've simply forgotten it. I'm hoping for the former. Either way, I'm enjoying it like it's 1995.
