Lyrics -
Bright star
When I first laid eyes upon you
I was filled with such a longing
To be with you in the dark
Bright star
Since I could not fly beside you
I would chart my own course by you
And I’d sail it by your light
Bright star
I have sailed in all directionsI
have followed your reflection
To the farthest foreign shore
Bright star bright star
I have anchored in the harbors
I have brought my gifts to barter
For a drifter’s bed and board
Bright star
I have drunk the wine of ages
In the company of strangers
We havesung in tongues of angels
And then stumbled on the pavement
And I understood my place then
And my purpose in relation
To the young and ancient night
Bright star
I am home now from my roaming
I'm alone now in the gloaming
With the ships out in the yard
Bright star bright star
There’s a thought upon me dawning
You have launched a thousand longings
And I don’t know who you are
Bright star
You have never been my vessel
Or the wind my sails have wrestled
Or the lands to which I traveled
Or the friends with whom I reveled
There are lengths to which you’ll never
Know I went to be your lover
And beloved in your sight
Bright star
When I first laid eyes upon you
I was filled with such a longing
To be with you in the dark
Bright star
If I could have flown beside you
I would not have had the sight of you
To guide me through the world so wide
And bright Приколы
the line 'Since I could not fly beside you, I would chart my own course by you' kind of made me tear up.
It absolutely astounds me that such a talented artist doesn't get more recognition. Your songs have always managed to capture this unique sensation and convey a whimsical beauty. Thank you for blessing my and everyone else's ears with this masterpiece!
The world at large can't appreciate her based on its lack of sensitivity, distorted values, etc. She is a queen, I love her music and vibe so much.
@Cannibal Teddy I agree that she will get the recognition she deserves.
8 Tony awards!
Most US radio are owned by coperations. That don't give new or large selling Artists chance to play there much. TRY UK BBC Radio 2 as Alex or BBC playback free. And hear the difference!🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
TALENTED?? Where????
@Cannibal Teddy she made the album and wrote the show on 2010 and it blew up on like 2019
She is way ahead of her time
It's been a long time! But glad to see ya here!!!
"There are lengths to which you will never know I went to be your lover" that hit me hard, because that's exactly what I've done, trying everything I could to make a friend realize I could be more. And it took me a while to realize that nothing could be enough, all the best of me was still not enough for him
Thank you so much for this song Anaïs !
The tenderness, beauty, and poetry that warmly radiates out of this song literally brings me to happy tears. Anais, your music is a gift! Thank you for continuing to share with us 🌈❤️⭐️
Ooh boy! It’s been a while since I’ve heard a new song from Anais Mitchell, I’m pumped up!
hiiiiiiii
"New Auburn"? Hope u r ok I'd have an excitement heart attack if Anais replied to my comment
Oh boy. I love this! Anais, you just keep popping up in my life! First, it was my dad playing Geordie non stop when I was really young, and then I got into Hadestown without even knowing it was you, and recently just got really into your other music. I love this song so much, and am grateful that I got to hear it close to when it came out. I love your music so much, and it's made a huge impact on my life :)
Oh man. I was just thinking the other day "I know she's really busy with hadestown, but it's been a minute since she's released a new album." I'm so psyched!
We need more of this Lady
the guitar, the voice, the lyrics, the *everything* is gorgeous
This is the story of how I'll probably never get to be best friends with you but how grateful I am that you do what you do for the constant inspiration that fuels my own work. Thank you for another anthem.
This is stunning. Countless repeat listens later and the song still holds up as being one of the best thing I’ve heard in 2022.
This is incredibly beautiful
I’m just playing this on repeat as I really feel every note and word and image
Such wonderful poetry
Thank you for creating this
When I said to myself few days ago when I felt the winter start that "'tis the damn season" I didn't know all my favourite artists are gonna just surprise me like this THIS IS SO GREAT 💌
Such a poet. On par with Joni Mitchell.
Well said, sir.
straight up, she's the best songwriter of the 21st century for my money
Truly. ✨🙏🏽✨
Totally agree
I love her, but no.
I'm so glad to have found your music
Anais Mitchell is a star that burns as bright as any other in the sky, and has a rare purity and beauty.
I’m so excited for you, Anais. I found your music as a freshman in college in 2012. It was the most meaningful thing to me. Four years later, as an adult in the working world-and as a voter in the presidential election-I felt so judged and alone. Sometimes I would come home from work, turn on the shower and one of your songs, and just cry. I just wanted to say that you have been a great source of inspiration for me, and I’m fortunate to have met you when you played at Old Town School of Folk. I covered a couple of your songs on my channel, too! I love the new song, and I’m really digging the Big Red Machine stuff you did. PS: please do a song with Jesca Hoop!
I fell in love with her work in university too, around 2009, back when Pandora Radio was still a thing. I heard "Orion" and the long road to this point started
Anais - your songs reach out to the listener with such directness and intense love... it feels like the song is just for them. You gladden my heart.
I just saw this as an ad and I normally skip those. I could not skip. WOW
Instead, here I am playing on repeat because I'm loving what I'm hearing. Liked and subscribed :)
I heard this on my little local radio station yesterday and I fell in love
At last the rockstar treatment.
Wonderful! All the way to Gotland Sweden!
There is music...theres avalanche of words and intoxication of poetry...... Bright star.... 🔆✨✨✨✨
Love your story telling songs! We saw hadestown in nyc prior to nightmare and plan to bring my
NYU nursing daughter this spring! We are from
Massachusetts also! Bellingham. Keep on producing magic-
I'm literally in Love with this lady❤
Wait until you hear the whole album, it's beautiful ! Live in Paris, France on November 8th, 2022 at Les étoiles.
Wow. What a perfect thing to wake up to. Thank you so much for bringing more beauty into the world :)
anais is such a sweatheart, great songs, phantastic performances
Dear Anais, thank you for sharing your music! I'm full of happy tears, my ears are happy too... thank you
This song is still on my best of playlist in 2023!
Oh this is so gorgeous in every way!
Great Artist. Incredible song!
I'm thrilled I heard this song on radio. Then Googled her name . I was very moved by the sheer power and beauty of the lyrics.
Another masterpiece from one of the great talents in the world.
Brightly Vermont! Loved seeing Anais perform in small VT venues years ago.. so talented! So deserving of all successes!
we need more songwriters like her
Thank you Anaïs. Such perfect timing to hear this today. Brightness, yes!
So sweet, so adorable ❤️
Such sad lyrics disguised by a happy, light melody.
I love this song! It's so beautiful
Yay! 💯Bright star shines gloriously 🧡🧡
Can't wait to hear the full album! Excellent as always
WOW SHES AMAZING 🤩
Absolutely sublime xx
Have just got into this lady-what a talent! Just happy I found her songs. First saw her playing and singing with The Big Red Machine. Something unique about her style.
For anyone wondering about the tuning. It's CGCEGC with a capo on the first. 1st chord open tuning, 2nd chord E shape without any finger on a string, 3rd chord E shape without finger on A string moved up two frets. musical regards from Jane from Dublin
Thanks Jane from Dublin!

Simply lovely.
Today is my birthday, and this feels like a gift. Thank you, Anais, for your beautiful voice and poetry.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday hope you had a wonderful day
Sheer beauty of this track. Lyrics of a poetess. ❤️
A music video! Unbelievable. Who woulda thunk it? And the funky fringes! And the stunning poetry! And the rock star lighting! So exciting (hey, there's a rhyme for ya!). Eleven years since I first heard you by chance on the Flynn stage, and you never fail to impress me.
I am so in love with this song. Thank you Anais! ❤️❤️❤️
What a beautiful song. I can't wait for the album. (I cannot *believe* I was unaware of her before the whole BRM thing...)
I can totally see PERSEPHONE singing this too!!!!!
the way this song builds such a powerful idea in such a short time, just to completely upend itself in the last two verses. the future is wide open, thank you Anaïs
Just discovered this. Damn. Haunting, beautiful and evocative, expertly crafted, intelligent and eloquent. Ticks all the boxes and is exactly what great art should be. Bravo.
I have this running through my head all day, and it’s wonderful. Thanks
Really incredibly thrilled for this and any other new music on the horizon
I have just stumbled upon this and I am so glad. She is AMAZING definitely looking up more songs. 😀
This is phenomenal ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Can't wait :)
I pulled out Hadestown the other day to listen to in my car. I love it so much and I recall thinking where is that lovely woman these days?
A week later a video comes up on you tube of you doing 4 of your new songs.
I loved it immediately.
Honestly..you are a gift.
Just saw her today on CBS Saturday Morning. Wonderfully talented.
I mess w this one
How absolutely lovely...... this made me cry today. Thank you, needed that ❤
Anais is a superstar, period.
what a well-crafted song.....World Cafe directed me here, and I'm listening to it on repeat, it's so great......
so sweet, so beautiful
Beautiful superb splendid astounding.
I love lamp. (The song, too.)
Great!
I've been a fan since Anais was with Righteous Babe. Oh, the beauty.
My friends tell me when talking to a pretty lady, be cool. Here I go. Would you marry me?!!! I might not know what "cool" is, but I can write and sing you a song to steal your heart!!! It was a pleasure listening to "Bright Star" as much as I enjoyed your play. You're amazing. And, yes!!! I subscribed and liked the video. Congrats.
such an incredible artist . cant wait to get the album !
Fabulous song. Thanks, Anais!
Maybe it’s the name but in our family we’ve been fans for years - a couple of even went to a gig of hers in Belfast and were persuaded by wine to invite her to join our branch of the wider Mitchell clan . However we were prevented - possibly also by wine - from finding her after the show, so that idea didn’t fly.
This is a really great song - one of several she’s delivered in various contexts during 2021, and promising much for the album.
A bright star indeed. Love it. 😊
Lovely stuff.
We're lucky to have you. Glad to see a new song, your voice is so soothing :)
Wake up, everyone, Anaïs released a new banger 🔥
lovely!
Love it! Can’t wait for the album!💗🌈
Wonderful...
I can't help but hear echoes of Leonard Cohen's sweet poetry in this song. Sure, this is a different rendering - faster certainly than he would sing it if it had come from his hand - but there is some essence, a rhythm, asked and answered. A duet for one singer. I don't know what I'm trying to say; perhaps that with every element in isolation different, there is still something in your voice here, lyric and thematic, that reminds me of him.
I LOVEEEEE
Such incredible musical poetry again and again.......linda Linda!!!
Oohh my, that's beautiful Anais ! (And Holy cow, it sounds absolutely stellar !) 🙃
This is beautiful 🤩
Just lovely.
Have missed your music wizardry, felt it coming! Thank you so much!!!
Glad a response to this week's The Real Hoarse Whisperer's One Good Thing tweet led me here. The woman had bought tix to your show for her son. This song is just the start of my journey appreciating your musicianship.
What a great singer
Going tonight to see her playing live , Saint Luke’s, Cork, Ireland
It's amazing music!!! I loved it from the first time I heard it! greetings from Indonesia
Bright star
When I first laid eyes upon you
I was filled with such a longing
To be with you in the dark
Bright star
Since I could not fly beside you
I would try my own course by you
And I'd sail it by your light
Bright star
I have sailed in all directions
I have followed your reflection
To the farthest foreign shore, bright star
Bright star
I have anchored in the harbor
I have brought my gifts to barter
For a drifter's bed and board
Bright star
I have drunk the wine of ages
In the company of strangers
Where you've sung in tongues of angels
And then stumbled on the pavement
And I understood my place then
And my purpose in relation

You launched a thousand longings
And I don't know who you are
Bright star
You have never been my vessel
Or the wind my sails'll wrestle
Or the lands to which I traveled
Or the friends with whom I revel
There are lengths to which you'll never know I went
To be your lover
And be loved in your sight
Bright star
When I first laid eyes upon you
I was filled with such a longing
To be with you in the dark
Bright star
If I could've flown beside you
I would not have had the sight of you
To guide me through the world
So wide, and bright
Thanks!
