Man, I have discovered this after 9 years from its release and seriousy, it is one of the best songs I have ever heard. There is something in it that hits so damn deep, I don't really know why isn't/wasn't popular.
I can’t help but get emotional listening to this song, only recently discovered mr hawley but wow the emotional ties this guy puts into his music is unmatched
I love this...a really subtle yet powerful film reflecting his music and lyrics so well. Another true heartfelt song from Mr Hawley. Richard, can you please do more shows down south? ie Bristol area?
Listen to the first 8 seconds very carefully! I've cleverly noticed that the fade in before the guitar is actually from Hawley's song "Last Orders" from his Coles Corner Album. You'd have to have the volume turned up loud to hear it closely.
Triste, peut etre. Superb, certainment. Mais pour moi c'est un chanson qui s'agit de "la nostalgia", pour les Memoires d'un enfant .... (A Mon Avis) ... C'est la vie, n'est pas ? (:-)))
Lyrics Love just drifts us on, On our way, to the fields where we will play today. Louis brings his kite, With a homemade paper-chain. Strange to see the sight, Of the moon, in the daytime not the night. I will lift you up, So high, on my shoulders to the sky. Ah Don't stare at the sun too long. Don't stare at the sun too long. Singing in the dark, On our way home, the day is done for sleepy ones. On the fire escape, My telescope, that scans the evening sky. If I could see it all, All to be lost, in the galaxy of distant stars. Did I see your face? It weighs so much, to be alone tonight. Ah Don't stare at the sun too long. Don't stare at the sun too long. You scare everyone, If you stare at the sun. Don't stare at the sun too long.
One word resolves all the possible confusions about this world - greed. It all leads to greed. For money, fame, appreciation, love..anything. Having lack of and undertaking actions in order to fulfill the void. Greed drives it all. No entirely a bad thing, but the world you see around is the consequence of it.
Heard this on Radio 2 tonight and was blown away by its beauty, it was like the feeling I had when I first heard Lewis Taylor I just wanted to tell everyone. Reading some of the comments I was surprised to see mediocre?
intensivevid it reminds me a lot of ´Love is blindness' by U2. Staring at the sun too long makes you blind. I'd love to know if this was intentional, but I love the idea anyway
The sun is a prominent star. Don't let the heavy light blind you and drift you off. Low lights are just as necessary as high lights. You got to be low to go high, and high to go low. It's up to you to find the balance.
I do understand fully, but nevertheless it is still confusing. To be fair though Richard Hawley's tracks are not really played much on regular radio shows to reach a wider audience, it seems manufactured pop is riding that wave again and that is paid for advertisement in the industry by the label. Shame.
Either you understand once and for all that majority of people are stupid pricks and the feeble intellect of theirs will always draw them to superficial shit, or you keep on wondering forever why videos like this have so few views.
You mean left, what kind of idiot doesn't know their left from right lol I don't like Rihanna and I'm not defending her either if that's what you're thinking.
Why has this song not got more views? Hawley is brilliant.

I can’t help but get emotional listening to this song, only recently discovered mr hawley but wow the emotional ties this guy puts into his music is unmatched
LISTENING TO RICHARD HAWLEY IS LIKE TAKING A WARM BATH LATE AT NIGHT & SOAKING IN IT . .

Huge song, huge artist and awesome video!

Effing love this album! But this track is the glory.
Lopend, fietsend, rijdend met de zon op mijn gezicht, komt dit nummer er automatisch. Wat een song.
Sublime....
Rich, Mark, Stuart... thank you.

Classic album

nostalgic, relaxed, anxious, deep, beautiful song

C'est la vie, n'est pas ? (:-)))
Lyrics
Love just drifts us on,
On our way, to the fields where we will play today.
Louis brings his kite,
With a homemade paper-chain.
Strange to see the sight,
Of the moon, in the daytime not the night.
I will lift you up,
So high, on my shoulders to the sky.
Ah
Don't stare at the sun too long.
Don't stare at the sun too long.
Singing in the dark,
On our way home, the day is done for sleepy ones.
On the fire escape,
My telescope, that scans the evening sky.
If I could see it all,
All to be lost, in the galaxy of distant stars.
Did I see your face?
It weighs so much, to be alone tonight.
Ah
Don't stare at the sun too long.
Don't stare at the sun too long.
You scare everyone,
If you stare at the sun.
Don't stare at the sun too long.
Man tanks..
Brilliant

This sounds so good
That outro !
this is pure gold!
like it very much!
Blown away by that.
I knew that the song is great, but I just saw the video and I didn't see better video for a long period of time. Fabulous!
Love it :)

Last song I shared with my best friend.
Fantastisch
Amazing song!
The song i wish i've wrote and never heard at the same time...
El video es realmente impecable. Amo a Richard.
Hull 26th, MINDGASM
Stare Into the Sun
Good spot
genius
3:57 - this guitar riff, it sounds like something i heard before, Any types?
intensivevid it reminds me a lot of ´Love is blindness' by U2. Staring at the sun too long makes you blind. I'd love to know if this was intentional, but I love the idea anyway
3.57 reminds me of fingers of love by crowded house a bit, different tempo but same vibe
Amazing song.
R.I.P. Don Valley Stadium
what's the merchandise with this guy's music, slippers?
hahaha great comment. I'd love a pair of Hawley slippers.
I'd call them Dick Slip Ons.
I hate music like this.. But I love this song!
anyone know where the scene is with the girl in the forest at the end?
modowl I think it’s up
Near the strines near bradfield. Looks like the area where they cleared some of the pines
3.50+mins in sounds like the theme from The walking Dead.
This is a great song.
I've never seen one on the right, you wouldn't be able to see it with the suggestion videos.
No face could do this song justice anyway..
Sir, I'll be your tour guide for The Internet.
Thanks to Werchter for this discovery
Stare at the stars. They're more beautiful anyways.
the sun is a star
touché
Everything is star, you are everything. Star dust is you... You are the dust of a star.
The sun is a prominent star. Don't let the heavy light blind you and drift you off. Low lights are just as necessary as high lights. You got to be low to go high, and high to go low. It's up to you to find the balance.
He could have meant right. The ads change every so often and the singer could have been anyone.

0:35 - ALEX TURNER SURELY?!
When the artic monkeys won the mercury prize , they stood on the stage and said, someone call the p olice, Richard Hawley ... You've been robbed ....
Thank you Alan Moulder!
loneliness is relative with him
His voice reminds me of Chris Martin (Coldplay), very similar sounding voice, to me at least.
Love this song.
ok
#TotallyMooned2017
don't stare at the sun during the eclipse :)
bintole, detailed at 52
doctors should prescribe this song instead of sleeeping pills
watch?v=sZfBR5G8FZ8 u2 - the gound beneath her feet 2:31? ;)
Yeah, when he turns you can see he's wearing glasses.
I do understand fully, but nevertheless it is still confusing.

this is the most boring song/video i've ever heard/seen
Even after nine years your comment is lost in a galaxy of distant stars.
terribly mediocre music. nice images. best was 01:54
