about

GRAINS is recording project from Margaret Darling (The Seedy Seeds, solo artist) and Jason. The two locked themselves up in Margaret's closet and created soundscapes for a piece on the night sky. Combing through the hours of music, Jason combined segments, wrote new music and lyrics to form "How Stars Are Made".

lyrics

are you a cloud of dust
full of matter great
yet too small to see with my eyes
are you burning from the inside out
surrounded by things
bigger than you and I

don't be afraid,
that's how stars are made

a hundred billion tiny mirrors
cradled close in the cold,
collapsing on themselves and becoming one.
and will we be just a cloud of dust
when you finally shine
but even if you're the only one

don't be afraid,
that's how stars are made
