This song just hits me like a train. I'm 30 now, quite accomplished man I thought but this song just made me realized I'm only the shadow of what I once was. As a teenager, emotions are so fucking real, love means the world and friendship is the priority. Now, it's all gone.
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WOULD SUCK BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GONE MAYBE IT WAS JUST ON BREAK AND MAYBE ITS TIME TO FEEL ALIVE AND THOSE EMOTIONS TO BE AS REAL AS THE AIR YOU BREATHE IT JUST ABOUT FINDING THE FIRE INSIDE AGAIN
Classic song from a great band. For all you youngin's out there. If you like this song, check out the above; and also NOFX, Misfits, The Clash. Id suggest more bands, but its 4:30am and I'm drunk af. enjoy.
Personally I think their musical evolution has less to do with 'the times' and more to do with their personal growth as artists. They have grown, and changed. They are not a bunch of teens anymore - they have matured and so has their music. What I like about AFI most is exactly that diversity. I know if I am in a certain mood I can pick up one of their albums and it fits my mood. The next day, a different mood, and a different album. AFI is always growing, and that's why they are so good.
This song is so raw, love it! Love the guitar and Davey's voice. This band is epic. I love how they change up their style for every album, you will never be bored of them because their music is always different. Crash Love is totally different but yet it's amazing, same with December underground. Great band!
AFI has some of the most brilliant songs ever written. If they could maintain a stable and enjoyable genre, they would be my favorite band with not a single doubt.
As a 13 year old, my girlfriend at the time introduced me to this band through this song and it has remained one of my favorite songs to go back and listen to, even as a 33 year old man. Reminds me of much better times, even if they really weren't that much better.
I love it, unrelated but of some interest; Christian mythology claims Satan was once an angel of the highest order. He was supposedly called the star of the morning, lucifer, heh.
when I was a freshmen in highschool I met this girl I sat next to her and she showed me this album. she was about to graduate she was so nice. anyway in the middle of the year she died and this song always reminds me of her.
It's weird to listen to this again and I feel even more meaningless now. I thought I would have figured shit out by now. Turns out, I just suck at life.
@wobdarden I love AFI, theyre my favorite band. Davey's voice is so unique, and their lyrics are really good, unlike a lot of bands. Their songs have meanings. As far as growing up, that's how a lot of people express themselves, like tattoos, makeup is art.
Feels weird going back to the songs you constantly listened to as a young age and then hearing them after years. Haha. I'm like 'wait..what the fuck is happening to me?' But I noticed that I'm just getting slapped in the face with nostalgic memories xD them feels
Wow this is like the best song ever.Amazing how it could make so much sence to me, but others just think they are stupid. They are the most anazing band. Keep up all the good work. I love all the songs.
I'm listening to their old stuff after being introduced to them in Sing the Sorrow, and honestly you can hear a lot of this in that album. Especially songs like Leaving song Part 2.
Never found myself listening to this on a cold Chicago morning while the sun rises... It almost synchronized with the moment. Bands change, but I do miss this old AFI. Lol, and they've been around since I was born, and 4 years old when Answer That and Stay Fashionable came out. Who'da thought?
Loved this since middle school. Owned every album but as usual some of the best artistic beauty came around the year 2000. Seems weve lost or forgotten something.
Actually, "emo" is just dhort for "emotive hardcore", a genre of music that originated from the post-hardcore scene in the 90's. Last time I checked, you can't actually BE a genre of music, so if someone thinks they can "be emo", that is a bit stupid. I agree with what you are saying
I totally dig the last 3rd of this song where he starts cranking. up. I think that they an awesome ass band!! this is an all time textbook example of what Rock n Roll is supposed be!! For Real!!!! oh and their guitar player should be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. I guess they would all deserve to be in it! thats
2017 and still I love this song it's always difficult to understand what he is saying in the song but to me I think it's about being lonely and seeing a spiritual self of him that no one can see that he wants to know am I the star beneath the stairs as in is that a spiritual part of himself that he sees that is lost at different parts of time of his life I'm I the ghost upon the sage is that himself the star he sees upon the stage I'm I your anything will he find true happiness in lifetime will he not be lonely just my thoughts of how the lyrics should be
I wish people were kinder to each other, despite any difference of opinion ,,,I think that would be beautiful. We ALL wish to feel significant... that's why everyone relates to this song so well... and it's so ironic that if we just saw that in one another, we wouldn't feel so alienated or hostile... I'm just like you.
I was 17 when my ex boyfriend introduced me to the magnificence that is AFI and I've loved them ever since. Now in my mid 30s and still cry when I hear this song.
" true AFI fans will go along with the band through every album and turmoil..." So, true AFI fans will mindlessly follow AFI even if AFI puts out a shitty album? Well, then I'm not a true AFI fan.
Song Meaning ? : "Morning STAR" = First Glimps of Hope + Will we become One? Only if he lets his demons deceive him. + Am Ghost Up On the Stage? = As an Artist performing on stage, u just can't believe How Real & Exciting it Is, that all your Fans are there to see u
Their is No Evil God, Never Written Down by Even Editors. See not See the Light Nor Have Love for All, are ones Who Forget WHO Made a Deal with God, Be Ripped of Wings and Shot down to Earth Hes The Morning Star, Hes No religion Nor Evil, Misconceptions Are Easily Read Wrong. never Was Our Angel and Our God Made Life to Hate, We will Spear into the Heavens All Together. Their is No ifs or Buts. The Angel of Liberation Gave His Life For Mankind!
Im 32 years old and this is where I came when I find out my best friend just died. Just now. This just happened. To a lyrics video of an AFI song made in 2008 by a 16 year old girl, im sure..... Fuck the world.
When I was 13 a boy gave me this CD.. I fell in love with both.
Same.. 32 now and still listening 💙
Hopefully he treated you right becuase your fuckin bueatiful and im sure you hear that all the time but i couldn't help myself and I'm sorry for that.
I was that boy.. And she has yet to go anywhere.. These men made muzak for our hearts..
when i was 13 i bought this CD at best buy
this isnt a cd. its a video on youtube
Damn you Davey, im 32 now.. why does this still hit like i was 16
This song always touch my soul so deep 🖤
I'm 32 too!
right? damn it it feels like those old days back in high school
It never goes away,it just goes deeper...
I'm with you, dude. 16 -> 31
This song just hits me like a train. I'm 30 now, quite accomplished man I thought but this song just made me realized I'm only the shadow of what I once was. As a teenager, emotions are so fucking real, love means the world and friendship is the priority. Now, it's all gone.
totally feel ya
I feel you too. It all feels so bland rn. Why cant we keep some intensity? :(
MathMith well said my man
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW THAT WOULD SUCK BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GONE MAYBE IT WAS JUST ON BREAK AND MAYBE ITS TIME TO FEEL ALIVE AND THOSE EMOTIONS TO BE AS REAL AS THE AIR YOU BREATHE IT JUST ABOUT FINDING THE FIRE INSIDE AGAIN
Doesnt getting older and wiser suck?
Odd how it brings us back to the music of our youth ... It was right then. Its right now.
It's been a decade but at the right moment feels like yesterday...
quite poetic for real
be careful not to fall into it
Amen brotha
Fifteen years. Hope you are well. God bless and keep you.
This song has such significance in my life.
I can't even describe how important it is to me..
...still
Classic song from a great band. For all you youngin's out there. If you like this song, check out the above; and also NOFX, Misfits, The Clash. Id suggest more bands, but its 4:30am and I'm drunk af. enjoy.
favorite afi song
This was the first song I learned on guitar from my guitar teacher. I’m 23 now and I still know how to play it by heart
Personally I think their musical evolution has less to do with 'the times' and more to do with their personal growth as artists. They have grown, and changed. They are not a bunch of teens anymore - they have matured and so has their music. What I like about AFI most is exactly that diversity.

Well said.
Exactly.
Yep
When those drums kick in. Oh gawd.
This song is so raw, love it! Love the guitar and Davey's voice. This band is epic.

Still hits the same in my 30’s…
And here friend in my 40s. :)
@@dismalfist 43, acidentalmente foi a primeira musica que baixe, a uns 28 anos atrás, =l
Ha ha ha for the longest I thought he was saying am I already dead!! ha ha ha ha I love this song and still dancing to it after all these years!!
Shundara Castion lol. I thought the same thing
Same here lol
Same
Me too! To me he still says that haha
Flrho
Fan since the nineties and this is still one of my very favorites
AFI has some of the most brilliant songs ever written. If they could maintain a stable and enjoyable genre, they would be my favorite band with not a single doubt.
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and is heard no more.
As a 13 year old, my girlfriend at the time introduced me to this band through this song and it has remained one of my favorite songs to go back and listen to, even as a 33 year old man. Reminds me of much better times, even if they really weren't that much better.
Morning Star is my Chippewa name given to me by my grandma
Kara Soholt hi! What's Chippewa?
@Alice C. S. It's a Native American tribe.
I love it, unrelated but of some interest; Christian mythology claims Satan was once an angel of the highest order. He was supposedly called the star of the morning, lucifer, heh.
Morning star is the name of lucifer because he was the most beautiful creation of god
The second part of my Chippewa name is Running Water,
This song was played at my son's service.
This song is gorgeous.
realmente
I saw them live in 2006 and they played this. I've never wanted to hug sweaty strangers so much.
when I was a freshmen in highschool I met this girl I sat next to her and she showed me this album. she was about to graduate she was so nice. anyway in the middle of the year she died and this song always reminds me of her.
Oh shit. How did she die?
So sory Man. Now she's in your head💜
That escalated
Thats nuts
I'm 25 and it's still my favorite song ever...damn takes me right back..especially when the beat drops
this is too fucking addictive!
It's weird to listen to this again and I feel even more meaningless now. I thought I would have figured shit out by now. Turns out, I just suck at life.
Am I your anything ?
YOURE MY HERO, DAVEY !!!!!
@wobdarden
I love AFI, theyre my favorite band.
Davey's voice is so unique, and their lyrics are really good, unlike a lot of bands.
Their songs have meanings.
As far as growing up, that's how a lot of people express themselves, like tattoos, makeup is art.
I've seen them do this live too. If we touched, would the universe implode?
OMG this song takes me back to my depression. Those were tough times but I pulled through :) I remember listening to this back then.
Glad to hear you pulled through, I wish you the best
Fade to black gets me there everytime.. And Ordinary story. This song is amazing.
Morning star-Lucifer-Angel of light.
Josh Nesbitt no really? xD
Josh Nesbitt Jesus Christ
don't watch NatGeo..... they really rail to factcheck. Just makes you look like an idiot.
fark me: fail... hell of a fail; there... fark it, no edit.
And jesus
There are no words to describe this song
Fuckin memories..
+Elliott Knighves seriously right?

Dead Doll 👅❤️ are yo dead doll?🌺
finger painting isn't art... PSA

this makes me want to cry
AFI is an amazing band. yes, they have changed but honestly they still kick asssssssss.
I used to listen to this song back in highschool. I can't believe its been a few years since then. Seems like it was last week at times.
I used to listen to this song in middle school and I'm 24 now. It still feels like it was just last week at times
+Shaun Thompson I'm 30 now still trippin on these songs I heard when I was 14. Listen to third eye blind sometime and trip out! lol
Feels weird going back to the songs you constantly listened to as a young age and then hearing them after years. Haha. I'm like 'wait..what the fuck is happening to me?' But I noticed that I'm just getting slapped in the face with nostalgic memories xD them feels
I love this song. memories
i love this song so much
Who here from 2024?
Only saw AFI once at 13 in New Zealand About 18 years ago. WOW what a deep song and so true to the lyrics 💓
this and 6 to 8 are the pinnacle of this album, my favorite album and maybe their best. love their old stuff and new stuff too. been a fan since 98!!!
Wow this is like the best song ever.Amazing how it could make so much sence to me, but others just think they are stupid. They are the most anazing band. Keep up all the good work. I love all the songs.
2019???????????
beautiful.
I've always loved this song. It has the same name as me and always gave me a new appreciation of my name 🖤
🖤
Anyone else using this for DnD whenever they attack with a morning star?
I'm listening to their old stuff after being introduced to them in Sing the Sorrow, and honestly you can hear a lot of this in that album. Especially songs like Leaving song Part 2.
Never found myself listening to this on a cold Chicago morning while the sun rises... It almost synchronized with the moment. Bands change, but I do miss this old AFI. Lol, and they've been around since I was born, and 4 years old when Answer That and Stay Fashionable came out. Who'da thought?
So many memories...
This song hurts me good...
I did I school project to this song like 15 years ago or whatever😅
This song and album or from like 2000! lol I was listening to A FIRE INSIDE/ ANOTHER FUXKING IDIOT since high school! EAST BAY HARDCORE!!
this was the good stuff. i wish they'd write more stuff like this, than what they do now
11 years. Where the Time go? Still my favorite 😭
I LOVE THIS SONG !!!!
This will never get old and brings me to that special place only afi can take me too❤
@420JoeDean We're only sad that they no longer make musick like this, but... maybe thats what makes it so beautiful
no puede faltar esta.... recuerdos =)
Loved this since middle school. Owned every album but as usual some of the best artistic beauty came around the year 2000. Seems weve lost or forgotten something.

..I just re-fell in Love with AFI..
Davey has the voice of ...idk its indescribable.
I totally dig the last 3rd of this song where he starts cranking. up. I think that they an awesome ass band!! this is an all time textbook example of what Rock n Roll is supposed be!! For Real!!!! oh and their guitar player should be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. I guess they would all deserve to be in it! thats

@djpamb
They didn't go downhill, they grew up.
They are all thirty-something.
I wonder if anyone else will come here and check this out after Ren mentioning it as his first live performance.
YEP!
I can't stop listening to this song!!! OMG it's beautiful
I'm in love with this song
darn
xDD
Great job.. you chereographed the words and animation perfect to the song
This brings me back...
shit I still am obsessed with this.
i love and miss all of this music thank youtube for ever being able to listen to it because cds wear out to quick
I've seen them live twice and this song is just so god damn good live
I wish people were kinder to each other, despite any difference of opinion
,,,I think that would be beautiful.
We ALL wish to feel significant... that's why everyone relates to this song so well... and it's so ironic that if we just saw that in one another, we wouldn't feel so alienated or hostile...
I'm just like you.
beautiful song beautiful video
It's all in opinion. But instead of saying it's shit, why not say "I never liked it."? You get your point across without insulting anyone's tastes.
Amazingly good song.
Love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AFI rocks
I was 17 when my ex boyfriend introduced me to the magnificence that is AFI and I've loved them ever since. Now in my mid 30s and still cry when I hear this song.
oh god i haven't heard 50% AFI songs, that's awesome !
listen afi the afi
Ahhh...Beautiful song reminds me of last summer, dark times, but then I made something of myself. Life's all what you make of it.
Great song. So amazing. The only song I like by them.
I love this song
beautiful song
nice job on the video
This song even makes sense with homophones - "Mourningstar" and "Am I the star beneath the stares?"
I will always love afi daveys voice makes every song
This is one of the most beautiful song+lyric videos I have seen. Good Job.
am I your anything?
" true AFI fans will go along with the band through every album and turmoil..."
So, true AFI fans will mindlessly follow AFI even if AFI puts out a shitty album? Well, then I'm not a true AFI fan.
This band is talented!

I love this song SO much!!! It makes me feel like I'm ok.
🖤

I MISS IT ALL

I am so mad that they stopped producing music. Every1 of their songs was great and u can listen to them over and over and they never get old.
This is my favorite song from them. Love it.
well done Jessie, love this song =)
