Same here- my brother died 10 years ago today and this has gotten me through many anniversaries. Hugs to you.

it's hard to believe this great rendition of melody and song only got 1 milion viewers...i'm sick with people who didn't notice this beautiful art..

This is one of the most underrated songs and performances in history. So much beauty. ❤

This song came on the radio 5 years ago right after I had to put my cat Opie down. We were taking his lifeless body to the crematory. My mom was holding him while I drove. The sun came through the window and shined a spot right on his heart, confirming his love will always be with me. This song will always be so special to me. ❤

Such a beautiful song. It reminds me of my dad who passed in 2011. Grace deserves way more recognition than she's given. Her vocals, songwriting, and musicianship is incredible.

If the song was powerful with the rest of the band, this piano and voice version is gut-wrenching, tear your heart out, achingly beautiful and haunting. I can't listen to it without crying...

Maybe this is the best song of the new century. What do you think?

Who in the hell would give this a thumbs down?

Grace wrote it about a friend who passed away not too long ago. She said she doesn't like to look up at the stars whenever she thinks of her. She says it on her episode of VH1 Storytellers. She also talked about it at a concert she did in Raleigh, which I was so priviledged to go to a few months ago

When you’re losing someone or have lost someone… this song is everything. 💙

just hearing the first couple of notes gives me goosebumps and chills.. love her.

The 319 dislikes are from those with no soul. no taste in amazing music. Grace Potter is a awesome artist!

This song speaks my nights when I think of my partner who passed away, one year ago, next month. I have been listening to this song everyday since I discovered it last week.

This is the best version of this song. Grace, please release it as a single.

"My thoughts are stars I cannot fathom into constellations."

Beautiful - touching - and speaks to me after losing my husband one year ago.

I always cry to this song. When my grandmother was alive, she looked at a star every night from Poland, talking to me and sending love and luck... now, that she's gone, i know she's in sky but I just can't look at the stars without crying... lots of love Grace xo

I keep coming back to this song every few months. I can't get this feeling anywhere else.

In my school for the Christmas program, we sung and dedicated to the kids in sandy hook elementary. We had candles with all of the kids names taped to it and at the end of the song we blew out the candles and walked away with our heads bowed :)

She's amazing.. that voice, her songwriting, multi instrumental talent and her beauty. Brilliant!! ♡

I think of my granpa every time I hear this song. So beautiful. He's been gone a year now but I feel like I can pick up my phone and call him and still expect him to pick up. Seems so unreal sometimes.

my first time hearing her. whoa she is amazing

Gary Potter it better. Melody is super simple.

When I was little, my Mum and i would sit on the front steps of our house in the summers and stargaze, I lost her to ALS in 2011, and this reminds me of her so much...

How is this beautiful talented woman not more famous?

I love love love this song. It's so beautiful.

Do we get more than one soulmate in a lifetime? I miss you Allan

Moved me to tears. Beautiful voice, beautiful song, beautiful lady.

It came to me I'd love to hear me some Grace Potter and The Nocturnals...Great. This is so beautifully presented by VEVO...so nice. Just solid heart and musicianship.

Saw Grace Potter in Des Moines Iowa last Friday night....stood.... small venue and we were literally 10 yards from the stage... It was a moving performance and have to say it was the best performance I have witnessed in many years... She is a "Rock Star"

This song is really beautiful, it makeme cry♡♡

she has a passion ... and we can feel it :)

I dedicate this song to my grandma who was my everything. Miss you Nanny.

Each of our bodies came from a star - literally. I think when we die we go back to them - added to the universal consciousness and the cosmos. This song captures that perfectly and it has helped many of us deal with the intrinsic loss that comes with life. Stevie Nicks said it perfectly in her song, “Bella Donna:” ‘Don’t you know that the stars are, part of us?” Thank you Grace (and Stevie) for lighting the fires and always showing us the way.

Put this on loop. What a beautiful song and what a talented artist. Grace you are blessed!

Such a sad song, but Graces voice is so stunning.

I have a new vocal love in my life!! What a wonderful voice!!

This song reminds me of my best friend who passed away to months ago Never forgotten, LIZard

Thanks, Miss Potter. A damn fine song.

My dog loves this song. He's singing beautifully and softly along. :)

Joey Martin Feeks, you will be shining so bright upon Heaven's boulevard .

This stripped down version is better than the studio album version. How Grace isn't as big as GaGa or Adele is beyond me. She's more talented than both.

Vocally, I don't think she's better than them especially Gaga. I just think she doesn't get as, much exposure. Remember, a lot of people didn't know who Adele was before her album " 21 ".

Immarocker2477 It's all subjective. I guess my point was more of her deserving more recognition as a star the calibur of Adele or Gaga. I prefer her music and style over both, not necessarily that she has better vocal range or whatever. All are talented, but IMO, she's the better artist and I connect to her music more.

Lady Gaga isn't really that bad of a singer. She's a HELL of a pianist too. It's ridiculous how good she is at playing. Her weird aesthetic makes it hard to see past that though. I'm not a fan of her but I've watched a few acoustic/live performances and was impressed, whereas I thought she was a manufactured puppet beforehand.

First time I heard this song was tonight on American Idol and I loved it right away what a beautiful song!!

This song is one of a few that almost makes me cry. It came out around when my grandma died so it always makes me think of her.

I'm glad I clicked on this.

Stars Grace Potter and the Nocturnals I lit a fire with the love you left behind And it burned wild and crept up the mountainside I followed your ashes into outer space I can't look out the window, I can't look at this place I can't look at the stars They make me wonder where you are Stars, up on Heaven's boulevard And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far So I, I can't look at the stars All those times we looked up at the sky Looking out so far, we felt like we could fly And now I'm all alone in the dark of night The moon is shining but I can't see the light And I can't look at the stars They make me wonder where you are Stars, up on Heaven's boulevard And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far So I, I can't look at the stars Stars Stars, they make me wonder where you are Stars up on Heaven's boulevard And if I know you at all, I know you've gone too far So I can't look at the stars Songwriters: Grace Potter Stars lyrics © Walt Disney Music Company

Hands down the best live performer! love you Grace! cant believe its been out for almost a year it seems like so long and its still on my top 25 most played

Lost my mom in a car accident. I definitely identify with the spirit of this song. It’s very hard for me to hear it, but yet I want to hear it all the time. Grace potter has an amazing tone and voice overall. Thank you for this song

reminds me of all who passed to gods heavenly home

aww.. this song could have been a good addition to TFIOS soundtrack. sounds good,.. really.

Now that I've had the privilege of seeing her and The Nocturnals live, I can honestly say that no videos on KZread compare to actually seeing her live. I've seen most of the top bands, Springsteen, Stones, Led Zep etc, and they're right up there. Incredible energy, and they really enjoy what they do. I cannot believe how little recognition they have received, particularly here in the UK. They say they will be back in the autumn, I can't recommend them highly enough :)

This makes me cry

I keep coming back to this video for so many reasons, but the emotional hit never dwindles. For celebrating lost loved ones and regretting lost lovers who are maybe still here, there just isn't a better song, period.

Had no idea this song this is country or she is a country singer absolutely beautiful you and your voice

I don't think she's quite a country singer. It's kind of hard to classify her. She's done some country stuff but stuff like The Lion, the Beast, and the Beat aren't anywhere near country. I think she'd be better classified as just soul music.

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.... ❤️ Grace is amazing ❤️❤️

i must say that i have been listening to grace for a few years now, and was shocked to hear that some on the voice had never heard of grace. im blown away that they dont get more exposure. i do want to thank amanda brown for singing it and introducing many more folks to grace potter, just read all the comments of the people that have now heard this great artist and her band. i hope this helps shoot them to the stars of success that they severly deserve. i hope everyone love her voice as i do.

This is my 4 year old daughter's favorite song. Every time i hear it i am smiles ear to ear

I will always love you Al. You were taken way too young. I will never forgive myself for never telling you how much I loved you. You gave me two sons that resemble both of us. Robert looks like me, but boy Mike sure reminds me of you...sometimes I see you in him when he does those faces...I miss you Al. I wish you were here with me while I have to deal with all this stuff. I won't ever forget you. Stay with me to keep me strong.

My best friend committed suicide because he was bullied for being gay. I love you for forever Kyle. this song reminds me so much of him. I still cry even tho its been almost a year and a half. I go on 7cups as a listener for people who go thro some stuff. one person asked me what had happened. then he said it was my fault he committed suicide. said I never loved him enough. I cried in my moms arms for 4 days straight. I have always blamed myself. thought of what I could have done to prevent it. I blame myself so much. after he got outta j.h. I only talked to him for a few minutes and then never heard from him again. then 3 months later a kid who hated me and used to bully me came up to me and told me Kyle committed suicide. ill never be able to forgive myself. Kyle, I love you so much. I miss you every single day... R.I.P.

But. this wasnt your doing! Those of us left behind, love and cherish their memory. hugz to all who have lost people.
