Chris Too Far – Be Like Stars (2021)

Many people experience a bittersweet time after a breakup where you understand the need for the relationship to end but are still sad about it. This moment has been captured by Chris Too Far in his single ‘Be Like Stars’. Through the single, he takes listeners through the realisation that ending the relationship is for the best and that both parties will be able to grow from the experience.

With an electronic edge, Chris turns personal experiences and musings into catchy and authentic songs. Carrying on the epic soundscape of his debut ‘Mess Around’, he has you hooked to an anthemic balladry. By the end of the track, you will feel the resolution of emotions and touching understanding of the moments that inspired the single.



‘Be Like Stars’ uses a depth of sound to draw you into it. The hum of the instrumentation captures your senses as you sink into the rich textures of the melody. The music explodes in a shower of deep beats and warping tones for the chorus. There is a bittersweet feeling to the music at the start but this takes a turn after the first chorus. After the swing, you are filled with a bright sense of resolution that perfectly matches the understanding of the lyrics.

Chris’ vocals have a delicate touch at the start of the track. There is a tender vulnerability in his melodic whispers that sink into your heart and tug at your heartstrings. This takes a complete turn as his voice pulses out with the explosion of music. From the second verse, he fills you with an understanding and strength of conviction. Through the lyrics and the emotion in his performance, your spirit is lifted and you feel that you have made the right decision for everyone.

Chris Too Far turns the bittersweet feelings of breakups into something positive through the emotionally powerful ‘Be Like Stars’. The delicacy of the opening encompasses all the vulnerable and tender moments of a breakup. This falls away with the explosion of sound that packs a punch of understanding and uplifting resolution.
