This 1940's themed song was inspired by Ethel and Bobby Kennedy. "Starlight is a song I wrote actually after seeing a picture of um, Ethel and Bobby Kennedy when they were seventeen. I saw this picture about a year a half ago, and I didn’t know anything about like, what they were doing or what was going on in the picture, but I just thought 'They look like they’re having the best night.' And, um, and so I wrote this song about what the night might've been like.
