Released publicly in the Starlight Festival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpJF28hJ5GU

However, I wrote this song for Charlie a few years before, originally only with my vocals, and many versions of this song exist across different gifts I have made for them over the years since. The Starlight Festival's theme of stars and friendship was too fitting to pass up, and we recorded our vocals for a public version together!
