Big Screen (Stargazer Version) is a tribute to the dreamers—the kids who grew up with nothing but a busted-up guitar, a head full of songs, and each other. It’s the story of two best friends from the same broken sidewalks and late-night songwriting sessions, who somehow—despite every rejection, closed door, and almost-gave-up moment—turned it all into something bright enough to light up the sky.
This version pulls the lens back. It’s not just about the struggle anymore; it’s about where it led. It shows the stars they’ve become—but never forgets the garage shows, the quiet belief, and the relentless fight to be heard. It’s raw. It’s real. And it’s for anyone still chasing that spotlight, knowing that even from the shadows, you can find your way to the big screen.
It was actually the second song ever written for ME & The Robots. Back then, it had a different name—“Mansions”—a title pulled from a bridge that never made it into the final version. The original was a more cynical story, about two people whose bond was shattered by fame. But somewhere along the way, the tone shifted. It grew into something more hopeful. More honest. Less about falling apart, and more about holding on.
With Wave 1: Echoes, the goal was always to reimagine these songs in a way that felt fresh—not just stripping them down to acoustic or piano versions, but letting each one evolve in its own direction. The Stargazer Version of Big Screen is one of those moments: a different mood, a different perspective, but the same heartbeat underneath.
For anyone who ever dreamed big in a small town, for the ones still fighting to be seen—this one’s for you.
