"Stars & Sons" comes from You Forgot It in People, the second Broken Social Scene album, which landed on October 15, 2002 and became the Canadian band's commercial breakthrough. Brendan Canning sings it and wrote the words with Kevin Drew, while the music credit stretches to six names, Canning, Drew, Evan Cranley, John Crossingham, Charles Spearin and Andrew Whiteman, which tells you plenty about how this outfit worked.
The whole record is a thicket of instruments and intricate, experimental production, the sound of a band that had ballooned in size. This was one of the songs that got a music video, and hometown excitement for the album ran so hot that the first pressings vanished and a 2003 reissue followed.
