About the song
Starry Night
"Starry Night" by Jim Scaparotti and TINMAN Project is a reflective, romantic ballad about standing beneath a starry night sky and feeling both small and hopeful. If you're searching for songs about a starry night, songs about the stars, or a cinematic love song about looking up at the night sky, this is a warm, emotive track built on acoustic and electric guitars, atmospheric keys, and layered harmonies. Its slow-building, cinematic arc makes it a natural fit for reflective, romantic, and hopeful moments on screen.
Written and produced by Cleveland singer-songwriter Jim Scaparotti and brought to life remotely by the world-class TINMAN Project collective, "Starry Night" pairs an intimate vocal with a widescreen arrangement. It sits on the TIMEPIECE album alongside "Atomic Love," and captures that quiet, universal feeling of looking up at the stars and letting the noise of the day fall away.
Instrumentation
Warm acoustic and electric guitars, atmospheric keys, brushed drums, melodic bass, and layered harmony vocals.
Lyrics
Starry Night
In the silver light of the starry night, and the moon is bright, I can only look at you Spiral galaxies fill the skies, your eyes reflect the awesome sight A church steeple pierces the dark, releasing myriad colors into the air Village fires everywhere, but their brightness just can’t compare Starry starry night… I draw you near, you shed a tear, it’s very clear, this is all for you Lips collide under celestial skies where angels glide into the blue Sparks flying everywhere, I only see the brush strokes in your hair Together under the wonderous art someone’s painted for us there Starry, starry night. Starry, starry night, Only look at you. I can only look at you, the masterpiece is you Starry, starry night, colors all around, reflected in your eyes Starry, starry night, Starry starry night. Everything is you, true, Starry starry night One look at you, the masterpiece is you
