Kelly Boesch: Float And Watch The Stars

 Another beaut from Kelly Boesch

Kelly says:

"I originally wrote this song in 2024. It was released as a slow song. I always loved this melody and wanted to try something completely different with it. This song makes me feel so good when listening in my car and driving for some reason. It’s way different than my usual music. The video took a while to create. I animated all of the images in VEO3 then created transitions using Pika keyframes. They aren’t perfect but it mostly worked. Hope you enjoy it. 

Float And Watch The Stars

Verse 1:

The night whispers secrets, soft and slow

We drift like shadows, where dreams go

Stars above are more than light

They hold our hearts in quiet flight 

Chorus:

Why don’t we just float and watch the stars?

Why don’t we just float and watch the stars? 

Verse 2:

We move through silence, calm and clear

Time fades away, no need to steer

The world below feels far and small

In this stillness, we have it all 

Chorus:

Why don’t we just float and watch the stars?

Why don’t we just float and watch the stars? 

Bridge:

The sky unfolds, a quiet sigh

We float in peace, you and I

No weight to hold, no need to run

We watch the stars until we’re one 

Chorus (outro):

Why don’t we just float and watch the stars?

Why don’t we just float and watch the stars?

We’ll float forever, watching the stars.

Lyrics written by me, Kelly Boesch.

The truth Hirst [sic]: how Damien Hirst got trolled so hard he had a 16 year old arrested (sic?)

Will HowardWed 18 March 2026 18:00, UK(The more successful an artist gets, the thinner their skin tends to become. There are few more perfect examples of this than that of Damien Hirst. 

"Like clockwork, it seemingly happens to everyone, and if you look with your empathetic hat on, you can see where it comes from. When starting out as an artist, rejection and ridicule become part of everyday life, especially as a creative who operates out of the ordinary. You will put yourself out there, with your unusual style, and a whole lot of people will laugh in your face or, possibly even more hurtfully, shrug their shoulders and never think about it again for as long as they live.

If you can’t get through that, you probably won’t ever be an artist again. However, something seems to happen when an artist successfully breaks through into the mainstream, where they stop actually engaging with anyone who doesn’t believe in their work.

Hirst became the very picture of this phenomenon for both good and ill after his imperial phase in the mid-1990s. Only a true hater would say that Hirst wasn’t a genuinely interesting artistic voice in his prime, but the moment the millennium came and went, something seemed to snap. Suddenly, he had all the ego of an artist of his reputation… with none of the work to show for it.

Thus, when a 16-year-old boy started messing with his work, Hirst went on the warpath". Will Howard

Afraid I don’t agree with Will Howard here

Check the amounts of money if you think Damien is doing anything less than standing up for his own artwork which has been purloined and misused just like so many musicians do with sampling these days - you pays for these ya know! Ask permission!

£192?!

No mention of his stealing the pencils you willl note!!!

You GET the point right?

I side with the artist here and aways will!

It’s called a principle no matter your religious beliefs!

Cartrain states he is not really in favour of the anti-religion post of the piece

thus making the 16 year old "anti-anti-religion”!! . . .and the THEFT?

 

And another of the Neil Young covers from ALBUMS THAT SHOULD EXIST

 

Covered: Neil Young, Volume 7: 2012-2016

Paul says: Here we go with another Neil Young “Covered” album. Since I’m still on vacation, I’ll keep this short. Once again, thanks to Fabio from Rio for putting this together. And here’s his comments:

By the early 2010s, Neil Young's influence had spread even further across musical generations. Indie folk, alt-country, and singer-songwriter circles were openly embracing the emotional directness and melodic simplicity that had always defined Young's songwriting. At the same time, the digital era had changed how tribute recordings appeared: covers increasingly emerged from online projects, independent releases, and small tribute compilations rather than traditional label-driven albums. Young himself remained highly visible during this period, releasing politically engaged records and increasingly speaking out on environmental issues, while continuing to inspire younger artists discovering his catalog for the first time. The recordings in this volume reflect that diverse ecosystem: indie reinterpretations, roots-oriented performances, and the occasional stylistic surprise.

Pentangle - Let No Man Steal Your Thyme (Degrees Of Folk, July 1, 1968) | Gary Lucas Facebook page

and with this from Gary Lucas’ Facebook page who say: "Great performance, but the BBC and whoever put this clip together must have been furious with Bert Jansch"

Pentangle - Let No Man Steal Your Thyme (Degrees Of Folk, July 1, 1968)

Bu which I can only guess that as Bert is stage right from the bulk of the others members (sic) the cameraman didn’t feature him?! [I have asked him but yet to get a reply . . . . .]

 I blame the cameraman frankly . . the band are just sat where is comfortable I guess and he (Bert) is hardly to blame but the people making the programme are. 

We were used to studio cameramen of the time not understanding who was playing what and when and featuring the wrong player, guitar solos featuring the bass player, drum solos featuring the singer etc etc. Quite why anyone would be furious with Jansch is beyond me . . . . but hey . . .enjoy anyhoo!
