What's 'All the Stars' about?

'All the Stars' EP by LJ Ayrten

Now that I'm working on the next EP I wanted to write a little on the background of 'All the Stars' and how the songs were born...

Without You

I love this song. But it's sad. I wrote it about the immediate moments after a guy I was very much in love with and had been engaged to, walked out on me. I wanted to capture that feeling of shock and fear but in a soft way, not from an angry place.

Whole Heart

The very first seed of this song was planted after hearing Taylor Swift's 'Begin Again'. It got me thinking about past and present relationships.

All the Stars

The first two lines of this song just fell into my head while walking down the street. It's about the type of person I am and having someone to keep me steady.


I hope they help, encourage and entertain :)

Just us baby lyrics

Just us baby by LJ Ayrten

One day, I wanna tell the world

But they say, it’s “too soon” for me to be in love again

But we will show them.

Two weeks and I tell the world

But they see, the old me, say

“She’s getting over him”

Well we will show them.

‘Coz I’ve never been a conventional girl

I’ve done what I want and I’ve wanted the world

And if I want you and me

They can all disagree

Because

It’s just us baby.

One month and when I show the world

But they say: “it’s ok, if you, you just take your time”

Well we will show them.

‘Coz I’ve never been a conventional girl

I’ve done what I want and I’ve wanted the world

And if I want you and me

They can all disagree

Because, because

They may say, “she’s not moved on”

But my mistakes have been and gone

We both know now what we want

Because, because.

I’ve never been a conventional girl

I’ve done what I want and I’ve wanted the world

And if I want you and me

They can all disagree

Because, because

I’ve never been a conventional girl

I’ve done what I want and I’ve wanted the world

And if I want you and me

They can all disagree

Because

It’s just us baby

just us baby

 just us baby.

Run away lyrics

Run away by LJ Ayrten

So you thought you'd cut and run, from what we have become


I turn, what have you done?


But, we had it all worked out, or was it just a house


Of dust and diamonds?

All this will find you someday, Love’s not a game you play and throw

Love doesn’t come undone I wasn’t the only one

Love me then you run away


Leave me try to run away from your heart


I step forward and you step back


You can’t fix your feelings like that –
You cant, you cant


Run away from love.

You put so much into this, so why am I left with

This twisted logic?

Why won't you just admit, that there is so much more

 to this? More. To. This.

All this will find you someday, Love’s not a game you play and throw

Love doesn’t come undone I wasn’t the only one

Love me then you run away


Leave me try to run away from your heart


I step forward and you step back


You can’t fix your feelings like that –
You can't, you can't


Run away from love

All this will find you someday, Love’s not a game you play and throw

Love doesn’t come undone, I wasn’t the only one

Love me then you run away


Leave me try to run away from your heart


I step forward and you step back


You can’t fix your feelings like that –
You can't, you can't


Love me then you run away


Leave me try to run away from your heart


I step forward and you step back


You can’t fix your feelings like that –
You can't, you can't


Run away from love

You can't, you can't


Run away from love.

Unconventional Girl: Behind the scenes

Song stories

As we await the exciting release of 'All the Stars', I thought I would celebrate my older songs with a bit of their background/story....

Low again is about getting out of a long-term relationship, where the other person began it, then ended it and started it again then ended it again… It is about recognising the highs and lows that that cycle brings are just not worth it. 

Run away and Just us baby were written a year later. The stimulus for Run away was the total cutting off of contact after the end of a relationship, which I never asked for. The main lines of the chorus emphasise that I don't believe love, emotion, relationship can be so cleanly cut like that.

The chorus of Just us baby came to me quickly and complete, but the verses took me a bit longer. They combine the idea of me being independent, with the notion of two people also doing what they want. This song was initially a reaction to people who say 'you can't do that so soon'…

Conversation is a bonus track as it was featured on the previously released Addicted EP. This was the first song I wrote completely on a piano (I used guitar before that). It has been popular and used/played in a lot of places. It is essentially about a conversation that I had in a bar which lasted all evening, with someone who acted like it was no big deal when I saw them again. I saw things differently…

The four songs from Unconventional Girl are from different times. I am excited that the next collection is made up of all new and recent material, with a progression in their feel and sound too. I hope you will love All the Stars.
