Good Neighbours are back with “Starry Eyed,” a track that pulses with thrill, spontaneity, and the magic of a chance encounter. Inspired by a whirlwind jaunt to Los Angeles, this song captures that exciting moment when someone takes your breath away, exhilarating and terrifying.
The song ‘Starry Eyed’ was one of the first songs Scott and Oli brought out during their live shows, and was an instant fan favorite. Clippings of the song began to circulate through social media like wildfire, and it was the undeniable feeling that this was not just a fleeting moment. In response to the overwhelming enthusiasm, they quickly finished the track and released it as it deserved.
From its very first note, “Starry Eyed” sweeps you up into it, a place where emotions are at a fever pitch, where the swell of infatuation feels almost in the air. The production is crisp but warm, with jangly guitars and a pounding percussive bed rocketing upward into soaring melodies. Scott’s vocals answer that need with that balance of exhilaration and vulnerability, the same feeling that the song captures.
Lyrically, Good Neighbours has tapped into something universal. That exhilarating moment when you come face to face with someone who makes time stand still. “Starry Eyed” bottles it up and purses its lips until it explodes in a rapturous fountain of indie-pop energy. It’s easy to understand why this track hit so quickly. On this release, Good Neighbours proves they are a band forever moving forward, forever willing to document the rush of life and shape it into anthemic form.
