Episode 23: Stars

“No One Is Lost”

SongExploder23

Stars is a band from Montreal (via Toronto), who have been making music together since 2000. Their seventh album was released in October 2014. For this episode, I spoke to several members of the band: singer Amy Millan over the phone, and to Evan Cranley and Pat McGee in their recording studio along with their co-producer Liam O’Neil. In this episode, they talk about the inspiration for the phrase “No One Is Lost” which is the title of this song as well as the album. And you’ll hear the original version of the chorus: one that they wrote, recorded, mixed, and finished but then, ended up changing completely.
