The reference to &#8220;dawn&#8217;s early light&#8221; and &#8220;last gleaming twilight&#8221; suggests a journey from darkness to enlightenment, mirroring the quest for understanding and solutions in the realm of science.<\/p>\n<p>In the verses, there is a play on the colors of the American flag &#8211; red, white, and blue &#8211; representing different aspects of the scientific endeavor. The repetition of &#8220;What stars do&#8221; emphasizes the idea of shining brightly and guiding others through the darkness, much like the stars in the night sky.<\/p>\n<p>The chorus invites listeners to join in the collective effort to address the challenges of climate change, acknowledging the feelings of despair (&#8220;feeling blue&#8221;) but also expressing determination to find solutions (&#8220;figure what to do&#8221;). The refrain &#8220;What stars do&#8221; reinforces the notion that resilience and perseverance are key qualities in the face of adversity.<\/p>\n<p>The bridge celebrates the enduring spirit of the stars and stripes, suggesting that their light will lead the way through the darkness of uncertainty and doubt. The outro echoes the sentiment of resilience and perseverance, urging listeners to continue the fight until the light of knowledge and understanding shines brightly.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the song conveys a message of hope, unity, and determination in the face of the challenges posed by climate change, honoring the stars of science who lead the way towards a brighter future.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/Violent-Rain-Philadelphia-Experiment.html\">The Philadelphia Experiment: a Study on the Reign of Violent Rain<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/change\/Philadelphia-Experiment\/\">To Cause a Change: Philadelphia Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/4D-Music\/\">4D Music: Songs About Science<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red, White, and Blues &#8212; Stars.mp4 The Red, White, and Blue, Too.mp4 The Red, White, and Blues &#8212; Stars.mp3 The Red, White, and Blue, Too.mp3 [Intro] And the rockets&#8217; red glare The bombs bursting in air Gave proof through the night &#8230; dawn&#8217;s early light &#8230; last gleaming twilight On broad stripes, the bright [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,3945,5,9,14],"tags":[163,546,563,3946],"class_list":["post-32927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-change","category-chaos-theory","category-daniel","category-lyrics","tag-climate-change","tag-mp4","tag-music-videos","tag-philadelphia-experiment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32927","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32927"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32927\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32946,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32927\/revisions\/32946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32927"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32927"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32927"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
