The 23s - Youth

Into the Blue

North Star is an uplifting song about seeing the light in someone, even if they don’t see it in themselves, and how you use their light to guide your way home in the dark. How you can see them glowing, the spark that surrounds them and appreciate their strength and compassion through life’s hardships.

North Star

Lyrics:

Could say I’m one in a million,
Should say I’m one in eight billion,
‘Cause we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m a singer-songwriter,
You’d say I’m a nobody,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m free thinking,
Could say I became bohemian,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m a culture vulture,
Could say I’m a polyglot,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m an anarcho-syndicalist,
Could say I’m a dreamy idealist,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

So what the fuck are we aggressive for?
Haven’t we all got something to teach each other?
Couldn’t manners be one?
Trust me I’ve worked in customer service
and it’s enough to make you want to punch every face but
Couldn’t we use words?
Couldn’t we be polite instead please?
‘Cause I couldn’t help my environment,
I couldn’t help my brain.
Never could help my environment, 
Never could help my brain.
I need to help my environment,
I need to help my brain.

These words are they my own?
What if I said none of them ever can be?
When we’re all the same,
We’re all the same,
We’re all the same in that we are unique

I Need to Be Done

Don't worry, now, really don't
But I think that the Sun might be dying
The day was always coming, but 
I thought we had a bit more time
Do you see what I'm seeing? 
There's just not enough coming through
Not enough of those sweet Tau Neutrinos
The question right now is really "what do we do"?

Oh those Solar Neutrinos
They just go right through you
Those pesky little critters
Are giving us the jitters

Yeah, OK I see it, but let's not freak out just yet
Not until we're certain, not until we've double checked
Let's keep this under our hats
We don't want all the fighting and fussing
What if we've got it all wrong?
I don't want to cause panic for nothing

They're in a flap at Fermilab
There's concern at CERN
I knew a girl at the Hadron Collider
They wriggled and jiggled and shivered inside her

Mate...mate, look here, look at this, look
What if we've missed a trick?
What if there are different flavours, like crisps
Our basic palate just can't detect
I think we've gone off half-cocked, jumped the gun
I think we've got all excited for nowt
It's understandable, easily explained, but we've gone and freaked everyone out

People, as you were!
The neutrinos are all flowing fine
And the Sun isn't dying
Not now, not yet, not this time
You know the Sun isn't hot enough
To do what it does?
Quantum Tunnelling? Cosmic Cunning?
One day we'll run out of luck

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and make it so

Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak
Stick 'em in the Tokamak and watch 'em go!

Oh those Solar Neutrinos, they just go right through you
Hanging out at DUNE trying to fathom why
They're only ever passing by

Well back there it seemed like the end of the world
But I have to admit for a moment, in spite of
The obvious problems it presents for us all
I couldn't help feeling
Excited

Solar Neutrino Problem

Wake Up! It's Another Day

Big Deal

This is a song about resilience. It explores hope as a form of rebellion and learning to find strength in times of weakness. In the UK, January 20 (this song's release date) is known as Blue Monday, which is supposedly the most depressing day of the year (coincidentally in 2025, it is also the day of the US presidential inauguration). Blue Monday was concocted to sell you stuff, using people's mental health as an excuse to do so. This song is a reminder that mental health is not something to be made light of in order to sell holidays and stuff. It's also a reminder to ourselves and anybody going through difficult times that the lowest ebb is never a constant. There's always light after the darkness. x
