Ok, this one has a journey for its creation. The original riff actually came to me in the heat of late August 2013. I still remember when it came to me. It was in a different key, with a slight different resolution. It felt like a hot summer’s day at the time. But then I just couldn’t get it to go anywhere, so it languished for years. This past summer, I happened to play it again, but at night. It had a totally different feel, spacey almost. By the last few weeks it had presented itself as a big night sky song. Guitar through Leslie speaker chords for the verse cemented that open sense I wanted, and off we went. And yes, I realize that I went for the sound of the night sky and called the whole thing Daylight. I don’t know what to tell you except that we are all just Stardust.

see, if i'd known you were gonna reference "stardust" in the lyrics of multiple songs then that certainly would have been the title I would have suggested. :-D
