Lead by Scottish singer-songwriter Cam Fraser (previously of Borrowed Books and 80s punk superstars The Cateran), Boulder Fields creates a heartbreaking musical experience with the help of longtime music\u00a0partners. The song begins with an acoustic guitar, drawing the listener in with an indie folk\/blues environment right away. Warm and baritone, Cam Fraser&#8217;s voice inspires emotion and nostalgia as he delivers the words. His voice reflects personal reflection and sincerity, reminiscent of Bob Dylan&#8217;s emotive storytelling in an indie folk hymn. The melancholic and reflective lyrics of &#8220;Wipe Out the Stars&#8221; provide a moving meditation on existence, memory, and belonging. Fraser emphasizes the sincerity and depth of his feelings in the chorus with a soft, yet powerful, performance. The song&#8217;s lyrics go into topics of city living, turbulent feelings, and finding comfort in shared experiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Bury the city<br>Wipe out the stars and above<br>Even blinking through tears<br>We can see enough<br>And it doesn&#8217;t matter<br>Since memories aren&#8217;t ever true<br>But when we fall into nothing,<br>We&#8217;ll still crash into you.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song &#8220;Wipe Out the Stars&#8221; by Boulder Fields is a beautiful\u00a0piece of music that highlights the band&#8217;s smooth musical synergy as well as the lyrical skill of Cam Fraser. Heartfelt voice and powerful lyrics mix with an indie folk and blues sound to produce a moving listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: photo by Deborah Mullens<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Boulder Fields, &#039;Wipe Out the Stars&#039;, 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FcG3VQQaslE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=2843698005\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=4092538915\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"https:\/\/boulderfields.bandcamp.com\/album\/with-all-the-other-ghosts\">With All The Other Ghosts by Boulder Fields<\/a><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/boulderfields.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/boulderfields.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBoulderFields\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheBoulderFields<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kolikcam\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kolikcam<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boulder Fields&#8217; &#8220;Wipe Out the Stars&#8221; is an incredibly emotional song that, with its rich,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":24376,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[3986],"class_list":["post-24375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-boulder-fields"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24375"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24375\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24377,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24375\/revisions\/24377"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
