Some songs arrive like a whisper — not asking to be heard, just waiting for you to really listen. “Million Years” by Starry Venus from her album "SOUL", feels like that. It’s gentle but emotionally rich, almost like you’re being invited into a moment that was never meant to be public, but somehow you’re welcome anyway.

Right from the first line — “It only took me a million years to find myself standing here” — there’s this feeling of time folding in on itself. It’s not flashy or dramatic, just honest. The kind of line that sticks. The production follows suit: soft layers of voice, ambient synths, a digital handpan that feels oddly organic, like water flowing over stone. There’s space in the sound, nothing rushes.

What makes the song hit even deeper is how personal it feels. The lyrics wander — not in a confused way, but like someone working through something real, slowly, without needing to land every thought neatly. When she asks, “If I build your wings, would you shelter me?”, it doesn’t feel like metaphor. It feels like someone reaching out, maybe not expecting an answer.

Then comes Coyote Woman — part spirit guide, part grief companion. It’s a sudden turn, but not jarring. More like memory bubbling up. The kind of thing you almost forgot until a song brings it back. The line “this is what we do when we lose our family” doesn’t try to fix anything. It just acknowledges, that’s more than enough.

By the end, you’re not sure if the song changed, or if you did, maybe both. Either way, “Million Years” doesn’t need to be loud to leave a mark. Starry Venus knows how to hold a moment — and in this track, she holds it with care, like something sacred.
