I know this song is about one sided love but I get a big parent-kid vibe. Parents want to let their kids to shine and grow up to do great things but they still want things to remember them by.
Same. This makes me think of my little brother - he's 17 years younger than me, and due to certain circumstances, I had to help raise him for a while. I'd do just about anything to help make him happy.
And not to mention, if you dig deeper into science youll ultimately find out that time doesnt Actually exist....its just another human construct in an effort to define the world around us. 😱😂😶
daevid allen of gong once said: NOW is the happiest time of your life... :-) i work every day to be aware of that and i feel like i get more self sufficient when i am aware of all the little things around me, when i say hello to my neighbours in the morning, who sing for me in the trees and bushes around my house and the tiny wren makes me smile when he blows his joyous fanfare, this stout little fellow, and i have my loving family and good friends - there is so much in every moment, every day on and on - the more i go into it, the more nice memories i have to be enjoyed...
One of my closest childhood friends showed me this song when it first came out and I have been obsessed ever since. She was a dancer and would love to dance to this song. She loved to experiment with various levels of consciousness and did a lot of hallucinogens, constantly searching for the meaning of life. Then her bf got her hooked on something far more dangerous and he overdosed her one night... When she passed away from the overdose this time last year this song cut me to pieces, and still does. It only goes even deeper now, I love you amber. I hope that other galaxy you were constantly chasing after is everything we always dreamed of.
She is in peace, brother. It was a peaceful sea that embraced her when she left this Earth, and carried her to unknown beaches, gleaming and beautiful, and she laughed so hard to herself at the brilliance and simplicity of it all. I've known your kind of loss, and because of that I am your brother. I wish you love and light in your journey.
Jesus christ, no matter how much time goes by this song still hurts my heart, long after I've already gotten over the girl that showed me this. That's the power of music I guess
Dante (Knowledge Dump) it's okay bro. i cry every time i listen to this because it's my girlfriend's and my song. we're over 300 miles apart and i can't go visit her. it really hurts me that i can't be with the girl i love, but that's life and someday, we'll be together.
Thanks. The song is so bittersweet. I have an extremely strong offshoot of an eidetic memory, which can be quite painful but while memories remain the pain fades day by day. I hope all that are on this thread are doing well :)
A sweet young lady sent this to me a few days after my youngest daughter Jenna passed away from severe complications of LUPUS. I miss her so and I'm trying to hold on to all of her sweetness, RIP Jenna, 01-09-15
A lot of comments I've read are interpreting this as a love song, but to me this song seems more like a metaphor for a mother saying goodbye to their kid as they move out to college (or just move out in general I guess). But maybe that's just how I felt this song related to me, it makes me think of my mother and I tear up a bit every time I listen to this song.
I guess we all give it the meaning we need. To me is also about love, but not about the classic girlfriend/boyfriend stuff, it's about so much more, it's about someone special, someone who's above those concepts, something like family, but she's not family, she's like... pure love and dreams. So much love that if someday she needs to go and live her dreams far far away I'll understand.
I agree, I think of my Son who hasn't spoken to me in 8 yrs. It's like a death but not as bad because I can still imagine he will speak to me again one day. So the song is really about tough transitions like a mother letting her child move on to explore the world or the loss of a loved one who leaves the physical. It's about letting go with love and grace.
I recently lost my best friend. She had blonde hair, like a lions mane. She would do Yoga, and run through the woods with me, and bust out beautiful paintings like you wouldn't believe. She was my star. And I didn't mind being in the background, I loved to see her show off. I loved to watch her present all the amazing things she created with her hands. We're a lot different from eachother but we were very close. I liked to be her rock, the one who she could lean on for support. Now shes gone, and I think of her when I listen to this. I still really miss her. We had a falling out, and started to fight over really stupid things. I still see her, and she still reminds me of a star. But I'm no longer her sky.
I’ve been down that road too. There’s always hope, you can be your own sky and someday, another star will show up! Besides, It’s the dark times that test how bright our own stars can shine.
ugghhh, i remember hearing this every evening when i was 15 years old and beyond depressed. Now im 21 years old, almost 22. Im hear to tell you guys, i does get better. Not even remotely close to the better life that you'd expect, but it does get slightly better. Just hang on, evening if your hanging by a string and feel like everything is pulling you down. By all means necessary, never ever ever purposefully exit the realm. That's a quick way to get yourself permanently fucked. If it's you against the world, you're going to win, so *fuck* that.
We are all imperfect, there's cruelty and delusions, our egos cause us extra problems, but nature is lovely, and some fine human creations too, and we can be in touch with the wonders of the moment. We can be grateful for this music and the kind people and animals
Savannah Lorén some of us work to keep people from such hardships..... we're so sorry we couldn't stop what happened to you & your family... we have recently found how it all works.. accretion vs. dispersion is key 🤓🤗😜😘🔴⚪️🔵✨🌏✨
I second this comment. Also, wow, I relate so much with what you said. I actually think we’re the same age. I’m turning 23 next month. I was trying to sleep, and this song came to mind.
My girlfriend and I broke up kind of recently after dating for about 5 years. I made horrible mistakes and I ruined something incredible. This was our song. She's recently stopped talking to me entirely and I can't get rid of this gaping hole inside of me. I've lost so much because of stupid decisions. Please, if you have a relationship, something genuinely special, never put anything above it. Nothing is worth losing a once in a lifetime chance at pure love. Nothing is worth hurting the person you care about most.
Someone I loved with all my heart once sent me this song. It became a theme for us and it was beautiful. But time eroded those feelings and showed the true rock beneath and the love was untrue. For a long time I could not listen to this song without feeling such a great loss that my soul cried out. It still hurts, but I can endure it now. Amazing how much clarity pain can bring.
I'm in the same boat as you man, this was the first song we played together (she sang and I played guitar) and then turns out she was cheating😂 but hey, glad you healed up alright Norolia.
I did. I remember when this song was being fleshed out in a studio apartment in Boston. I ended up moving far from there, way out west where the beaches are wide.
Who else gets the feels when they hear this song? ;-; Edit, 2/19/19: i recently came back to this song and wow,, it still gives me the same effect. I'm 15 now can't remember how old i was when i first posted this. I mean, the only difference now is that im depressed and this song actually has meaning to me now.
If you'll be my star I'll be your sky You can hide underneath me and come out at night When I turn jet black And you show off your light I live to let you shine I live to let you shine But you can skyrocket away from me And never come back if you find another galaxy Far from here with more room to fly Just leave me your stardust to remember you by If you'll be my boat I'll be your sea A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity Ebbing and flowing And pushed by a breeze I live to make you free I live to make you free But you can set sail to the west if you want to And pass the horizon, 'til I can't even see you Far from here Where the beaches are wide Just leave me your wake to remember you by If you'll be my star I'll be your sky You can hide underneath me and come out at night When I turn jet black And you show off your light I live to let you shine I live to let you shine But you can skyrocket away from me And never come back if you find another galaxy Far from here with more room to fly Just leave me your stardust to remember you by Stardust to remember you by
Ah, yes, this song always makes me cry... reminds me of my past friendships and relationships, my current ones too. I don't want to lose anymore friends.
Got introduced to this song in highschool and for some reason me and my little sister both loved this song and would constantly sing it to each other. She passed away this past April and now this song means so much more.
I used to listen to this when I was younger- I was so obsessed with it, I memorized every lyric. and now, listening to it again, I'm almost crying. the vocals are soft and almost sound like if rain had a voice, the instrumental is so simple yet so effective. I love this
Everyone keeps talking about unrequited love and losing loved ones, but that is not the message behind this song at all to me. It is about pure unconditional love. The speaker doesn't wish to be left, but they will not only accept being left. They will be the wind in their partners sail to greener pastures. If you love something let it go. Love is not about possession, or how the person feels about you in return.
12 years later and this is the song I turn to when I need it most. It's apart of my skin forever etched in ink to remind me why I keep living, to make myself or others shine. When my anxiety engulfs me, I come back here. I can't explain just how much this little song means to me, and the comments here are so filled with somber stories and similar tales. I hope that everyone feels comfort in the lyrics the way that I do 💛🌻
this song brings me back to when i was 7 or 8. My babysitter showed me this song and i couldnt sleep. She played this song and i fell asleep. Its crazy how time flies. The other night i suddenly remembered this song. the song always stuck w me but i just remembered the name. now that i think about it, i really miss my old babysitter, i havent seen her or talked to her in so long, She was such a caring person.
I used to sing this song when I was feeling lonely and abandoned, then I set sail to the West and now I sing it to my children to know they'll NEVER be alone but I'll always let them follow their own path. 💕 They love this now-lullaby!
"If you'll be my star, I'll be your sky, You can hide underneath me And come out at night. When I turn jet black And you show off your light; I live to let you shine."
My boyfriend dedicated this song to me due to his bad fear of me leaving him for someone else, no matter how many times i told him i wouldn't. The irony of the situation was he ended up leaving me..
This might sound really silly but I sing this to my elderly cat every night, it started as a joke, but it slowly turned into a nightly thing, a few minutes every night to spend time with her, to pet her and give her kisses. She seemed to like it, and we got really close. Tonight she passed away (12/10/21) it really hurts. She was my closest pet and my childhood pet. I'm currently listing to this song to cope Edit: 20/10/21 The house still feels really empty, I occasionally walk past the kitchen where she was most and except to see her, only to be hit with the fact she's not there. It's been surprisingly difficult dealing with her death. She was my cat, she helped me through a lot of bad times, times I didn't think I'd survive. I have never been without her, she's been in my life since I was only a few months old. I miss her so much, but I know she had a long (she was 21ish years old, we got her when she was 4ish) and very loving life, and a warm place to pass. Even though I miss her, and it's taking a long time to heal, I'm happy she was in my life
I am so sorry to hear of your beloved baby passing. I understand how you feel. I've had cats my entire life. They are such a blessing. It's so hard to say goodbye. They become your entire world. Just like a child does. Thank you for giving your baby so much love!! She was so lucky to have you and to have you sing to her is truly beautiful. I hope you're doing ok.
I used to listen to this song as a teenager, over 15 years later I'm now pregnant and I sing this to my baby while she's in the womb. Listening to this song so many years later in a different mind set gives it a whole new perspective.
My mom used to sing this song to me every night before I went to bed, every long car ride we took, every stressful plane flight, every bad day after school. After a little while, my parents got divorced, she moved away and I lived with my dad. I still sing this song every night. Its a weird feeling, so many emotions with this song, all the trauma i went through with this song, but its oddly comforting. 🫶⭐
Whether this song is about your partner, child, friend... who will betray you, move on in life, die... It doesn't matter who will leave you behind, or why. What matters is that you're here for them today, yet still willing to say goodbye tomorrow. Or that you're here for them today, though you said goodbye yesterday. That is love.
I long ago dedicated this song to my old aged dog, she is now almost 15 and today is her last, and couldn't help but cry and come back to her song. Today she fell again and started having a series of mini seizures and hyperventilating. She has had a background of falling due to arthritis. I hope when she is laid to rest she will no longer hurt but start again being her puppy self as she was 15 years ago when I met her at 5 years old. I love you Cloie, forever my best friend ❤
I refuse to listen to this song ever again... I absolutely will not even sing the lyrics in my head... hum the melody... not anymore... not after what he put me through... Because now he's my star... my guardian angel.... tonight I live to to watch him shine up in the night sky...
I've been trying to find this song for 5 years. I used to listen to this when I was having bad days with my stepmom when I was a younger. I would always imagine as kid that I had a healthy mother loving me and holding me. As a kid this really had helped through life now I'm almost and adult and this gives all the cherished memories I had with my mother before her schizophrenia had taken her ability to take care of me. My stepmother has been physically abusive towards me and this is one of the few songs I listened to when I was a bit younger :)
This song is so beautiful. It makes me think about my life really in general. I'm a kid and I know you don't think I understand mot things yet, but I do. I understand the world. How it works, and how it is always going to be. Honestly, this song makes me cry. I cry in a way where it's bittersweet. Reminds me of my dog, Dori. We had to put her down and I had grown up with her my whole life and she has grown up with me her whole life. Its hard, and I feel like this song is so powerful, but it means so much to me that people can create gorgeous pieces of art and put them with a empowering and inspiring song that just makes you think. I bet everyone can relate to this song. This song is amazing and your art is beautiful. ♥
I sing this song to my son all the time. I just played it for him just now and he immediately recognized the lyrics and looked at me, as if to say HEY MOM, THAT'S OUR SONG. he is a non-verbal 18 month old. 🥰 he's heard it at least weekly since his birth.
My girlfriend at the time played this song for me on her guitar, vocals included. Now she's my wife. I have a strong connection to this song. Brings tears to my eyes to hear this again 10 years later.
I just had my first baby a day ago and remembered this song. I played it for him and it honestly made me cry so hard. I love this song, and I love my sweet tiny handsome little son.
this song reminds me so much of MySpace... i remember getting a CD with just this song on it from Gregory and the Hawk through something i won on myspace... nostalgia!
This song always remind me of someone, someone who has loved me dearly, yet someone whom I have taken for granted and hurted badly. That was many years ago, but I still feel the pain every single time of listening to this song.
TieDyeGirl41: IF you be my car, i'll be your road winding and weaving through stories untold racing the wave that turn into foam i live to let you roam i live to let you roam Me: But watch out for speedbumps and limits they give you. Before you know you get caught and then they take you. Far from here to a graveyard for cars. I won’t know what to do. You can't get home.
My bestfriend as a kid/teenager showed me this song. She would play it for me every time I was sad or was going through something. I love it. I play it for my daughter now as a lullaby.
One night I was walking with my parents, and someone came out of nowhere and mugged and shot them. I listened to this song, and now I've decided to dedicate my life to purging evil from Gotham. I still listen to this and cry when I'm sitting alone in the Batcave. I like to think about my mom and dad. i love you guys, I hope you're proud of me. Love, Bruce.
Once upon a time, someone loved me enough to dedicate this song to me. She left this link as the home page for Firefox on my PC, hoping I would listen. The day I did, she wasn't home, but I called her in tears to thank her for loving me this much. Today she lives to let another shine, and I don't blame her one bit for leaving. If she's reading this now, I want to thank her for all of the years she tried to love me at my most unlovable and for the two beautiful children that we share. I hope that you've found the love, happiness, peace and stability that I could never ever provide.
let me give a bit of a happier story. my first love sent me this song, saying it reminds them of me. and i nearly cried. i thought i was straight back then, but right at that moment, i knew that they could be a pigeon and i would love them just the same. they confessed after, and i screamed in joy. they were my moon and stars. though it didn't work out, they will always hold a precious part of me. because at least they left me their stardust to remember them by. thank you, demi
Became the night sky, no star too shine, no stardust, just the space she left.. This song just sums up everything what's happened... The only comfort is knowing she has space to fly and the room to actually sail on her own journey.. I wish I had some stardust but nope.. It's for best.. Hope everyone here has peace and shit, im sure Ill find it eventually..
Back again listening to this iconic song from the early Myspace years. Better days. I still remember the photo of the singer standing there looking down a long dirt road in, I think, Nebraska. Idk why that picture has been floating around in my mind for almost 20 years now and I think of it randomly sometimes. I should try to find that photo.
I remember finding this song back in middle school when I was a 6th grader in 2014 I really loved this song and it was when I started to get into new things and really finding myself. I’ll forever appreciate this song it truly played a big role in my middle school years..
I've been listening to this song for years. now i can't cry on it but instead, it makes me appreciate life as it is and smile despite everything that's been happening. no matter what happens in the world, people would leave you. and the more you continue in your life, the more people you would lose. but that doesn't mean your love for them will ever go on. Let go. But treasure those Precious memories.
This was a song that my boyfriend and I both held dear to our hearts. If we heard it, it reminded us of one another. But he passed away and now I'm the only one being reminded.
I shared this song with my first and my deepest love who I knew my whole life. He passed away a few weeks after our engagement, but listening to this now brings me comfort. I hope you have found that comfort too.
This was my ex and I's song. We broke up when I was 17, the second I turned 18 I got a tattoo "stardust 🌠" . I'm 26 and I've never regretted it and I still smile when it makes me think of him
i had a friend in first grade. he got me into a lot of things i love today, including one of my most favorite games and my most favorite book series. we would play and talk all the time, we would read and joke together and be children. he moved after that year though, and went inactive on the game we would play together. i havent seen or heard of him since. James, if theres a millionth of a chance that you see this at all, i want you to know that i miss you. i do. you were the boat to my sea, the star in my sky. and you sunk. you burned out. i wonder what happened, i hope youre still out there. i hope you remember me like i remember you. i still read those silly dragon books sometimes, i still play that game. thank you for all you showed me.
Ohhh brooo, i remember listening to this at 14. It was a really depressing time for me but this song really helped. Now that I look back at it, i'm so thankful that I got to hear it again.
I just love this song and together with this video it's even more beautiful. It always makes me cry and reminds me of the things I've lost, but it also comforts me and makes me a little happier.
This is the last song I sang to my dog right before we put her down. I miss her, and I hope it was able to calm her and let her know how much I loved her before she had to move on.
I've sang this song to my daughter since she was born....fully knowing one day she will grow out of being my lil starlight, maybe take off to a different state, all that. Not what the song is about, but makes sense to me. Most important song to my life now.
With this song i can only remember a friend i have, we used to talk for hours and we would had a lot of fun just the two of us, but time passed and she obviously got more friends, but im not a social person and i didnt so now i feel really lonely without her... I cant be angry with her but it still hurts sometimes
Same. Just remember that when you remind them of all those happy times you shared you can gain them back. Even if just for a few moments cherish every second Of it.
This has been my partner and i's song for 10 years. To me, it speaks of the purest unconditional love. "I live to let you shine. I live to make you free"
I know this song is about one sided love but I get a big parent-kid vibe. Parents want to let their kids to shine and grow up to do great things but they still want things to remember them by.
Same. This makes me think of my little brother - he's 17 years younger than me, and due to certain circumstances, I had to help raise him for a while. I'd do just about anything to help make him happy.
Someone actually gets it!
natalie lewter yes.
One sided love is a parent bond for a few years.
Yea, I've always sung this to my daughter since she was a baby. She's 7 now and still asks me to sing it to her 😊❤
I don’t hate life, or living.
I hate time.
Don't Hate. It is very ungrateful.
Dr. Seuss said once: Don't cry because it is over. Smile because it happened.
And not to mention, if you dig deeper into science youll ultimately find out that time doesnt Actually exist....its just another human construct in an effort to define the world around us. 😱😂😶
Yeah, there is never enough of it.
Can I borrow this for my story?
daevid allen of gong once said: NOW is the happiest time of your life... :-)
i work every day to be aware of that and i feel like i get more self sufficient when i am aware of all the little things around me, when i say hello to my neighbours in the morning, who sing for me in the trees and bushes around my house and the tiny wren makes me smile when he blows his joyous fanfare, this stout little fellow, and i have my loving family and good friends - there is so much in every moment, every day on and on - the more i go into it, the more nice memories i have to be enjoyed...
One of my closest childhood friends showed me this song when it first came out and I have been obsessed ever since. She was a dancer and would love to dance to this song. She loved to experiment with various levels of consciousness and did a lot of hallucinogens, constantly searching for the meaning of life. Then her bf got her hooked on something far more dangerous and he overdosed her one night... When she passed away from the overdose this time last year this song cut me to pieces, and still does. It only goes even deeper now, I love you amber. I hope that other galaxy you were constantly chasing after is everything we always dreamed of.
Bless you
so much love and light to you. take care. 💓
Very sorry for your friend
I may be late, but condolences.
She is in peace, brother. It was a peaceful sea that embraced her when she left this Earth, and carried her to unknown beaches, gleaming and beautiful, and she laughed so hard to herself at the brilliance and simplicity of it all.
I've known your kind of loss, and because of that I am your brother. I wish you love and light in your journey.
I'm going to sing this to my children, because no matter where they go, how far away, how long gone, they will alway be my world.
***** You sound like a wonderful mom. :)
You seem nice and like a great mom
***** your welcome
I sing it to all 3 of my ducklings. They love it. ^_^
Maureen Davidson Why was this the most adorable thing I've read ever #RemindingMeOfMyMomWhat
Jesus christ, no matter how much time goes by this song still hurts my heart, long after I've already gotten over the girl that showed me this. That's the power of music I guess
Right!? It's been over four years and I'm a grown-ass man with a beard and it makes my eyes water.
I feel you on that one.
Dante (Knowledge Dump) it's okay bro. i cry every time i listen to this because it's my girlfriend's and my song. we're over 300 miles apart and i can't go visit her. it really hurts me that i can't be with the girl i love, but that's life and someday, we'll be together.
Hey. I know it's been two years, but... I hope you're okay.

A lot of comments I've read are interpreting this as a love song, but to me this song seems more like a metaphor for a mother saying goodbye to their kid as they move out to college (or just move out in general I guess). But maybe that's just how I felt this song related to me, it makes me think of my mother and I tear up a bit every time I listen to this song.
First Last It is a love song but as you said a mother's love song to her child... In any part I feel the couple love song.
No, this song is for someone who passed away. It's a sad song
I guess we all give it the meaning we need. To me is also about love, but not about the classic girlfriend/boyfriend stuff, it's about so much more, it's about someone special, someone who's above those concepts, something like family, but she's not family, she's like... pure love and dreams. So much love that if someday she needs to go and live her dreams far far away I'll understand.
@@bunnythebunbalboa I totally Feel that like this. And sometimes i think about my son and other times my lovely boyfriend

wow bro you're making me cry- because i lost a friend too and i always cry to this song thinking about that friend
jesus.. i thought she died until you said you had a falling out.

Please, if you have a relationship, something genuinely special, never put anything above it. Nothing is worth losing a once in a lifetime chance at pure love.
Nothing is worth hurting the person you care about most.
Hey bud, i hope you found love again.
Hope youre doing better dude

Who is hitting up this classic in 2024?
This song was chosen by a 5 year old boy to play at his dad's funeral - safe to say there were no more dry eyes when he started singing along.
That's both adorable and heartbreaking.

Aimee Darling the comment itself makes me sad
I DID NOT buy a ticket for this feels train...
* neither did i, but i always seem to be on it
I did. I remember when this song was being fleshed out in a studio apartment in Boston. I ended up moving far from there, way out west where the beaches are wide.
Who else gets the feels when they hear this song? ;-;
Edit, 2/19/19: i recently came back to this song and wow,, it still gives me the same effect. I'm 15 now can't remember how old i was when i first posted this. I mean, the only difference now is that im depressed and this song actually has meaning to me now.

Yeah I don't know why but so me this song is calm but a bit sad I don't know why though
+Insanity The Wolf me
+Insanity The Wolf yes, tis very dowsing... but tis still a very beautiful song I feel.
I agree
Who else can't stop listening to this song??? It's so sweet and sad and makes me feel happy and weak

If you'll be my star
I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black
And you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
If you'll be my boat
I'll be your sea
A depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing
And pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free
But you can set sail to the west if you want to
And pass the horizon, 'til I can't even see you
Far from here
Where the beaches are wide
Just leave me your wake to remember you by
If you'll be my star
I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black
And you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
But you can skyrocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
Stardust to remember you by
Nselvian Vengida Thanks for writing this! I knew it took you very long.

Jk yeh I will
Top 10 lyrics that just hit different 😔🤘
To all my boyfriends and girlfriends. Thanks for the memory. I’m sorry.
Ah, yes, this song always makes me cry... reminds me of my past friendships and relationships, my current ones too. I don't want to lose anymore friends.
Got introduced to this song in highschool and for some reason me and my little sister both loved this song and would constantly sing it to each other. She passed away this past April and now this song means so much more.
I used to listen to this when I was younger- I was so obsessed with it, I memorized every lyric. and now, listening to it again, I'm almost crying. the vocals are soft and almost sound like if rain had a voice, the instrumental is so simple yet so effective. I love this
Everyone keeps talking about unrequited love and losing loved ones, but that is not the message behind this song at all to me. It is about pure unconditional love. The speaker doesn't wish to be left, but they will not only accept being left. They will be the wind in their partners sail to greener pastures. If you love something let it go. Love is not about possession, or how the person feels about you in return.
12 years later and this is the song I turn to when I need it most. It's apart of my skin forever etched in ink to remind me why I keep living, to make myself or others shine. When my anxiety engulfs me, I come back here. I can't explain just how much this little song means to me, and the comments here are so filled with somber stories and similar tales. I hope that everyone feels comfort in the lyrics the way that I do 💛🌻
this song brings me back to when i was 7 or 8. My babysitter showed me this song and i couldnt sleep. She played this song and i fell asleep. Its crazy how time flies. The other night i suddenly remembered this song. the song always stuck w me but i just remembered the name. now that i think about it, i really miss my old babysitter, i havent seen her or talked to her in so long, She was such a caring person.
kyzourz sis my baby sitter used to sing this to me too and it’s how i know it. that’s crazy
You should try to get in touch with her
@@Sophia-ho9qt aww that’s nice
@@temperamental.butterfly yeah i should !
This song tears open an old wound and reawakens or emboldens a pain whenever I hear it.
I cry every time.
I know I'm depressed when I listen to this kind of music .... I love it
I don't know, I think this song is very wholesome.
I used to sing this song when I was feeling lonely and abandoned, then I set sail to the West and now I sing it to my children to know they'll NEVER be alone but I'll always let them follow their own path. 💕 They love this now-lullaby!
"If you'll be my star,
I'll be your sky,
You can hide underneath me
And come out at night.
When I turn jet black
And you show off your light;
I live to let you shine."
My boyfriend dedicated this song to me due to his bad fear of me leaving him for someone else, no matter how many times i told him i wouldn't. The irony of the situation was he ended up leaving me..
:( srry
kitty16226 Im sorry! :( I hope it is all okay!!! Youre beautiful and I am sure youre better off !!!!
fuck that dude.
you deserve better than a false promise
@@BelBeepsClips Hey I know I'm pretty late but are you okay now? I would also ask this Alyssa but I would assume her account is inactive.
@@kassiegrace8859 lmao
If you're reading this Amberger, thank you for introducing me to this song all those years ago and i hope life has been going well
This might sound really silly but I sing this to my elderly cat every night, it started as a joke, but it slowly turned into a nightly thing, a few minutes every night to spend time with her, to pet her and give her kisses. She seemed to like it, and we got really close. Tonight she passed away (12/10/21) it really hurts. She was my closest pet and my childhood pet. I'm currently listing to this song to cope
Edit: 20/10/21
The house still feels really empty, I occasionally walk past the kitchen where she was most and except to see her, only to be hit with the fact she's not there. It's been surprisingly difficult dealing with her death. She was my cat, she helped me through a lot of bad times, times I didn't think I'd survive. I have never been without her, she's been in my life since I was only a few months old. I miss her so much, but I know she had a long (she was 21ish years old, we got her when she was 4ish) and very loving life, and a warm place to pass. Even though I miss her, and it's taking a long time to heal, I'm happy she was in my life
It is never silly to sing to animals. I'm sorry to hear of your kitty passing.
I am so sorry to hear of your beloved baby passing. I understand how you feel. I've had cats my entire life. They are such a blessing. It's so hard to say goodbye. They become your entire world. Just like a child does. Thank you for giving your baby so much love!! She was so lucky to have you and to have you sing to her is truly beautiful. I hope you're doing ok.
I sing to my cat too. Thank you for giving that cat a peaceful and happy life.
🐱
S0 lame
whoever needs to hear this, you are loved.

I used to listen to this song as a teenager, over 15 years later I'm now pregnant and I sing this to my baby while she's in the womb. Listening to this song so many years later in a different mind set gives it a whole new perspective.
My mom used to sing this song to me every night before I went to bed, every long car ride we took, every stressful plane flight, every bad day after school. After a little while, my parents got divorced, she moved away and I lived with my dad. I still sing this song every night. Its a weird feeling, so many emotions with this song, all the trauma i went through with this song, but its oddly comforting. 🫶⭐
When I have kids I am going to sing this to them before they go to sleep. I like this so much as a lullaby.
I've been singing this song to my daughter since she was born, and now she sings it back and it's wonderful.
That's so beautiful =)
Do you have kids now?
I do it lol, my son is 5 yrs now
this song gets me every time... who's cutting onions?
the man under the bed
Whether this song is about your partner, child, friend... who will betray you, move on in life, die...
It doesn't matter who will leave you behind, or why.
What matters is that you're here for them today, yet still willing to say goodbye tomorrow.
Or that you're here for them today, though you said goodbye yesterday.
That is love.
I long ago dedicated this song to my old aged dog, she is now almost 15 and today is her last, and couldn't help but cry and come back to her song. Today she fell again and started having a series of mini seizures and hyperventilating. She has had a background of falling due to arthritis. I hope when she is laid to rest she will no longer hurt but start again being her puppy self as she was 15 years ago when I met her at 5 years old. I love you Cloie, forever my best friend ❤
I refuse to listen to this song ever again... I absolutely will not even sing the lyrics in my head... hum the melody... not anymore... not after what he put me through...
Because now he's my star... my guardian angel.... tonight I live to to watch him shine up in the night sky...
what
***** Hehe
hahaha! i thouht it was a joke but maybe not. sorry bout watever tho :)
liek if u cri evrytem
its called loving someone unconditionally...
I've been trying to find this song for 5 years. I used to listen to this when I was having bad days with my stepmom when I was a younger. I would always imagine as kid that I had a healthy mother loving me and holding me. As a kid this really had helped through life now I'm almost and adult and this gives all the cherished memories I had with my mother before her schizophrenia had taken her ability to take care of me. My stepmother has been physically abusive towards me and this is one of the few songs I listened to when I was a bit younger :)
i truly hope things have gotten better for you & i'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. 💜
This song is so beautiful. It makes me think about my life really in general. I'm a kid and I know you don't think I understand mot things yet, but I do. I understand the world. How it works, and how it is always going to be. Honestly, this song makes me cry. I cry in a way where it's bittersweet. Reminds me of my dog, Dori. We had to put her down and I had grown up with her my whole life and she has grown up with me her whole life. Its hard, and I feel like this song is so powerful, but it means so much to me that people can create gorgeous pieces of art and put them with a empowering and inspiring song that just makes you think. I bet everyone can relate to this song. This song is amazing and your art is beautiful. ♥
I'm so sorry for your loss. This song is just amazing though.
I found this song today, and I've listened to it about 27946 times non-stop. It's an amazing song.
Same!! I had my friend listen to it and he (yes he ) almost cried
Dude, I usually cry to songs like this. I'm an emotional guy. But this time I didn't.
I sing this song to my son all the time. I just played it for him just now and he immediately recognized the lyrics and looked at me, as if to say HEY MOM, THAT'S OUR SONG. he is a non-verbal 18 month old. 🥰 he's heard it at least weekly since his birth.
My girlfriend at the time played this song for me on her guitar, vocals included. Now she's my wife. I have a strong connection to this song. Brings tears to my eyes to hear this again 10 years later.
Just found this again. Perfect timing to see it with different eyes.
This song makes me miss so many people, people I had almost forgotten about.
I just had my first baby a day ago and remembered this song. I played it for him and it honestly made me cry so hard. I love this song, and I love my sweet tiny handsome little son.
it hurts in a way that i don't feel it
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. :)
The Murmur
Oh I feel pain alright
this song reminds me so much of MySpace... i remember getting a CD with just this song on it from Gregory and the Hawk through something i won on myspace... nostalgia!
This song always remind me of someone, someone who has loved me dearly, yet someone whom I have taken for granted and hurted badly. That was many years ago, but I still feel the pain every single time of listening to this song.
TieDyeGirl41:
IF you be my car, i'll be your road
winding and weaving through stories untold
racing the wave that turn into foam
i live to let you roam
i live to let you roam
Me:
But watch out for speedbumps and limits they give you. Before you know you get caught and then they take you. Far from here to a graveyard for cars. I won’t know what to do. You can't get home.
Karina Alons God.. That went from 0-100 fast..
I lost it completely at “Just leave me your stardust to remember you by”
Wow
My bestfriend as a kid/teenager showed me this song. She would play it for me every time I was sad or was going through something. I love it. I play it for my daughter now as a lullaby.
I first heard this song after a friend passed away. To me this song is about never ending love and grief.
My mother Sang this to me when I was a baby, and I still think about it all the time, it makes me so happy, it would be my little lullaby,
This is my duty to my own, hope she thinks so fondly
As much as this is probably about a relationship.
For me, this will forever be a mothers lullaby in my heart.
One night I was walking with my parents, and someone came out of nowhere and mugged and shot them. I listened to this song, and now I've decided to dedicate my life to purging evil from Gotham. I still listen to this and cry when I'm sitting alone in the Batcave. I like to think about my mom and dad. i love you guys, I hope you're proud of me. Love, Bruce.

PenisMuncherMcTwat Hahahaha well played. Well played indeed.
this has to be the best comment ever.
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
Reminds me of my brother who's going to study in America, ha, have fun bro, just remember to come back
Is he back?
Is he back?
Is he back?
Is he back?
It’s been 5 years, most likely he’s back
Once upon a time, someone loved me enough to dedicate this song to me. She left this link as the home page for Firefox on my PC, hoping I would listen. The day I did, she wasn't home, but I called her in tears to thank her for loving me this much.
Today she lives to let another shine, and I don't blame her one bit for leaving.
If she's reading this now, I want to thank her for all of the years she tried to love me at my most unlovable and for the two beautiful children that we share. I hope that you've found the love, happiness, peace and stability that I could never ever provide.
Feels like this song was written for my hamster Poffin and I. He was the most gentle, beautiful, friendly perfect hamster in the world. T_T
It surley was!
our animal friends are a wonderful blessing
Your hamster is really good at making songs
I can say without a doubt, that this song was about your hamster.
I did a solo as a project in school on this song and my whole dance class was crying
karkat
Water Nymph honestly I would love to see that beauty I feel that would make an amazing solo dance please post!
let me give a bit of a happier story.
my first love sent me this song, saying it reminds them of me. and i nearly cried. i thought i was straight back then, but right at that moment, i knew that they could be a pigeon and i would love them just the same.
they confessed after, and i screamed in joy.
they were my moon and stars.
though it didn't work out, they will always hold a precious part of me.
because at least they left me their stardust to remember them by.
thank you, demi
I'm sorry Daniel. I wish we would have see it earlier before it happened. All your fans love and miss you.
It sounds like kind of a feel good song at first but then you realize the lyrics are super depressing .-.
I spent days trying to find this song again all these years later. My grandfather passed away recently and now I think of him when I listen to it ❤
I will not get the feels - I will not get the feels -I will not get the feels~I will not get the feels ~ I... will not... get..
FUCK ;-;
Unconditional and spiritual love is what I feel from this dreamy song.
i remember watching this years ago and i listen to this now and am full of nostalgia. so lovely
Became the night sky, no star too shine, no stardust, just the space she left.. This song just sums up everything what's happened... The only comfort is knowing she has space to fly and the room to actually sail on her own journey.. I wish I had some stardust but nope.. It's for best.. Hope everyone here has peace and shit, im sure Ill find it eventually..
This song reminds me of a mother or father who is proud yet sad that their kid(s) have grown up... The feels! ;-;
Back again listening to this iconic song from the early Myspace years. Better days. I still remember the photo of the singer standing there looking down a long dirt road in, I think, Nebraska. Idk why that picture has been floating around in my mind for almost 20 years now and I think of it randomly sometimes. I should try to find that photo.
I really love this song. It's so beautiful. :)
What a coincidence
I see someone familiar 🦭
@@dangereusdragon haha, you found me!
This was our song.
I'll always love you.
I forgot this song for years.
I'm married now.
I still love my idea of you.
Suicide leaves a mark no one can fix. Not even time.
Holy shit...if this isn’t a blast from the past. On a nostalgia hunt 🖤
This song makes me cry and it reminds me of someone I love. 😢
I have the same. This song is amazing. I think it's the real power of music. I love it.
Yay! I'm happy this song touches other ppl too! X3 Aleksandra Wilkoń
Can remember this song when things weren’t so tough, what I’d give to go back to then
Reminds me of my old best friend. How fitting.
the song that I've listen every time when someone who's very important to me left.
I remember finding this song back in middle school when I was a 6th grader in 2014 I really loved this song and it was when I started to get into new things and really finding myself. I’ll forever appreciate this song it truly played a big role in my middle school years..
I've been listening to this song for years.
now i can't cry on it but instead, it makes me appreciate life as it is and smile despite everything that's been happening.
no matter what happens in the world, people would leave you. and the more you continue in your life, the more people you would lose. but that doesn't mean your love for them will ever go on.
Let go. But treasure those Precious memories.
This was a song that my boyfriend and I both held dear to our hearts. If we heard it, it reminded us of one another. But he passed away and now I'm the only one being reminded.
oh.
i cant say much else , saying im sorry for you will remind you because this comment is three years old.
i have a fetish for old comments
I shared this song with my first and my deepest love who I knew my whole life. He passed away a few weeks after our engagement, but listening to this now brings me comfort. I hope you have found that comfort too.
Twin flame 🔥 ♥️💫♥️ song for sure ! Beautiful!!!
This was my ex and I's song. We broke up when I was 17, the second I turned 18 I got a tattoo "stardust 🌠" . I'm 26 and I've never regretted it and I still smile when it makes me think of him
i had a friend in first grade. he got me into a lot of things i love today, including one of my most favorite games and my most favorite book series. we would play and talk all the time, we would read and joke together and be children. he moved after that year though, and went inactive on the game we would play together. i havent seen or heard of him since.
James, if theres a millionth of a chance that you see this at all, i want you to know that i miss you. i do. you were the boat to my sea, the star in my sky. and you sunk. you burned out. i wonder what happened, i hope youre still out there. i hope you remember me like i remember you. i still read those silly dragon books sometimes, i still play that game. thank you for all you showed me.
This song is so pretty ;w;
Ohhh brooo, i remember listening to this at 14. It was a really depressing time for me but this song really helped. Now that I look back at it, i'm so thankful that I got to hear it again.
This song puts my soul at peace ..... 💕
Still in love with this song all of these years later. 🌠💕
commenting so every time this gets liked, i can see this song again
i'm not sure if it works like that but you'll definitely get to see it every time someone comments! 😁 enjoy! 🎶✨️🎵
E
It's time for a listen.
This song + video is just so soothing in a sad sort of way, like wallowing comfortably in your sadness.
I just love this song and together with this video it's even more beautiful. It always makes me cry and reminds me of the things I've lost, but it also comforts me and makes me a little happier.
This is and always will be one of my favorite videos that Ill watch to calm down.
Try cbd oil never give up no matter how hard it may seem
This is the last song I sang to my dog right before we put her down. I miss her, and I hope it was able to calm her and let her know how much I loved her before she had to move on.
This song finds me every few years. It is a gift each time. ❤
I've sang this song to my daughter since she was born....fully knowing one day she will grow out of being my lil starlight, maybe take off to a different state, all that. Not what the song is about, but makes sense to me. Most important song to my life now.
I’ve sang this song to my daughter since she was born. It’s calms her down and helps her sleep.
With this song i can only remember a friend i have, we used to talk for hours and we would had a lot of fun just the two of us, but time passed and she obviously got more friends, but im not a social person and i didnt so now i feel really lonely without her... I cant be angry with her but it still hurts sometimes
Caro A. L. Yo i'm in the same shit right now..
Same. Just remember that when you remind them of all those happy times you shared you can gain them back. Even if just for a few moments cherish every second Of it.
Nostalgia at its finest. Learnt this song when I was about 16 and today I just randomly remembered it and played it, after 10 years I might add.
This has been my partner and i's song for 10 years. To me, it speaks of the purest unconditional love. "I live to let you shine. I live to make you free"
