Stellar Kart - "all gas. no brake"

Behind the Songs

By Kim Jones, About.com

Stellar Kart - All Gas, No Brake

Stellar Kart - All Gas, No Brake

Student Driver
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    “Student Driver” describes a kid who is speeding through life and realizes that he can’t make it on his own. We wanted to let young people know that it’s okay to depend on God, that life as a Christian can still be fun.
Second Chances
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    The message of this song is “no matter what.” No matter what mistakes we make in our lives, God will always forgive us if only we ask. He wipes the slate clean, and we are able to start all over.
Come Back Home
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    I, Adam, wrote “Come Back Home,” for my wife when she decided to go to school at the University of Wisconsin. I knew the band would be on tour full-time, and we wouldn’t be seeing as much of each other. This is an expression of how lost I am when she’s not around.
Spending Time
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    Sometimes it’s a real struggle to spend time with God. It’s something we desperately want but find so difficult to do.
Livin’ on a Prayer
Words and Music by Jon Bon Jovi, Desmond Child, and Richard Sambora

    Bon Jovi was one of our favorite artists and biggest musical influences growing up. We were thrilled to put our own spin on this classic tune.
A Love Song
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    Among the first worship songs we wrote, “A Love Song” hearkens back to our worship leader roots. We wanted to create a song that sounded somewhat like an old hymn while still having a contemporary feel.
Superstar
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    “Superstar” is about teen suicide. We have lost friends to suicide and feel a responsibility to convince kids that ending their life is not the answer. It is so important that young Christians tell their friends about God. They need to know that He is there to help them through life’s toughest trials.
Life is Good
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    “Life is good eternal life is better.” This quote describes our attitude toward life. We love life and want to live it to the fullest, but we also know that eternity will be so much more amazing than any time here on earth.
Tree Climber
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    Remember the story of Zacchaeus? The little man who wanted to see Jesus so badly that he climbed up a tree? This short song, like Zacchaeus, is in honor of him.
Gone Fishin’
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    We came up with this fun song about a kid who follows the great commission, going into the world to tell others about the love of Jesus Christ.
Finish Last
Words and Music by Stellar Kart

    This title originates from the Bible verse that says “the last shall be first.” It communicates our desire to be last on earth so that we may be first in heaven.
