“Stars” is the second single from Hum’s 1995 album *You’d Prefer an Astronaut*. The track blends alternative‑rock, shoegaze, post‑hardcore and space‑rock elements to create a dreamy but heavy atmosphere, with quiet‑loud dynamics that helped it stand out in the mid‑’90s rock landscape. The 1995 music video — featuring the band performing in a dimly lit room intercut with symbolic, surreal imagery — became a staple on rock video playlists and contributed to the song’s enduring popularity.
