discography:

Belgian symphonic metal band Worlds Beyond has released the second single, ‘One With The Stars‘, from their forthcoming album (out: january 31st, 2025).
The song is a poignant reflection on the cycles of life and the inevitability of change and loss.
Through its evocative imagery and heartfelt lyrics, the song captures the bittersweet realization that everything we hold dear is temporary, yet these transitions carry profound meaning.
“The final message is one of resilience and hope: while loss and endings are inevitable, they pave the way for new beginnings. By embracing the ever-changing seasons of life, we continue to grow and transform, until the day we, too, become one with the stars—eternally connected to the vast, infinite universe that unites us all.”
About the official video-clip Worlds Beyond tell us:
“We are thrilled to share the official music video for our single ‘One With The Stars’, an emotional and thought-provoking track from our upcoming album, ‘Rhapsody Of Life’. This video brings the song’s themes to life: the inevitability of change and the fleeting nature of everything we hold dear. In the video, filmed in one continuous shot, Valerie, our vocalist, takes center stage. Her raw and heartfelt performance unfolds uninterrupted, drawing you into the song’s story. Alongside her, an artist creates a stunning piece of one-line artwork in real-time, symbolizing the unbroken thread of life. This single line represents the beauty and fragility of existence, where every moment, no matter how fleeting, connects us to the next. With this minimalistic yet powerful approach, we aim to capture the philosophical depth of ‘One With The Stars’.”
