    "comment": "#7 on Kevin Cole's Top Ten Albums of 2025, and #21 on KEXP Listeners' Top Voted Albums of the year!\n\nFrom Rocky Votolato of Suzzallo, \"This song is about the portal that opens up between two worlds when you lose someone you love deeply. I don’t normally give this much context on what inspired a song, but how the idea for this song was born was very special and I wanted to share some of how it came to be.\n\n\"We had just moved into a new place and [our son] Kienan had mentioned a string of star lights they wanted us to get to hang from our deck. Although my wife April never ordered them they somehow arrived a few weeks after Kienan passed away.\n\n\"It was of course really difficult to open the package. It took us months to get the courage to hang them, but when we finally did we noticed that sometimes when we talked about Kienan the lights would start blinking off and on. Our friends and family would try to figure it out or fix them, but we knew it was a sign that Kienan was still with us and that some bonds can’t be broken. So that become the 'Star String Radio.' I hope everyone can find some hope and healing through the song the way we did.\"",
