I was driving a cab in my early twenties in Phoenix at that time and I had to check her music out through the library because I was very broke and it feels weird that it's been this long.
The beauty of this video is in its repetition. She doesn't regret feelings of affection or love; even in the face of such peerless tragedy, she lives on. She keeps getting up, she takes care of herself...just an elevating sentiment to send to those who deal with loss.
I remember when I was like "OH, that "Put your records on" lady has a new album, I'll check it out." And I was blown away from the beginning and all the way through to the end. Absolutely fantastic, tragically beautiful album. Top to bottom, no filler whatsoever.
I love how "everyday life" the video is. Its testament to how this song can be playing in your backdrop as you go about your life doing the mediocre tasks that keep the wheels spinning and the candle burning
And isn't that just what tragedy is after losing a loved one? Going through your normal day, thinkin "Oh I should tell him about..." and remembering once again that he's gone forever. How the rest of the world moves on like normal, and parts of yours does as well, but there's something missing. Sometimes tiny, sometimes crushingly enormous. It's tragically beautiful, the long lasting connections we have with those we love.
Ooh, you're searching for something I know, won't make you happy Ooh, you're thirsting for something I know, won't make you happy Ooh, you did it all again, you broke another skin It's hard to believe this time, hard to believe That my heart, my heart's an open door You got all you came for, baby So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride's worth Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts And out runs all of the sadness It's terrifying, life, through the darkness And I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again I'd do it all again, I'd do it all again You try sometimes but it won't stop You got my heart and my head's lost, ooh yeah I've been burning down these candles for love, for love So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride Ooh, someone to love, mm, someone to love Someone to love Ooh, you're searching for something I know, Won't make you happy Ooh
Her saddest song to date. It's so melancholy. But also has that "Like a Star" feel during the bridge, lyric-wise. Anyway, it makes me want The Sea really bad.
Amie if you are out there reading this, all I want to say is this song reminds me of waking up beside you and feeling like I have just came back from heaven. I never forsaked my vows, I still love you and I never will stop. Even though we have been apart for many years, I wish you only happiness. "If you love someone set them free"- you said you wanted to be free, I let you leave. I never regretted it as long as you were happy. "I'll do it all again, I"ll do it all again".- through my tears.
Oh I can relate to you. I hope I'll finally understand that my heart is bigger than I think and that I will truly love again someday. I wish this for you as well!
What a coincidence. I've just thought about difficult times of my life which occurred 10 years ago. And then RU-vid suggests this song for me. The thing is that I was constantly listening this song around that time. This song kind of helped me to go through that difficult times. Oh, all these years later, it still gives me that wonderful feeling. Love this song so much. 😊❤
Today is the 1st time in a year I have been able to listen to this without breaking down in tears. I split with my ex exactly 1 year ago at this time of night too, she bought me the album for Valentines and I loved it, sadly I couldn't bear to hear it until now. Corinne has an amazing voice and this song is just brilliant!
So much emotion pouring out, you can literally feel each one. Corinne you know how to make one really feel the words you sing. Thank you for another beautiful one
I love her music so much. When i was going through a hard time in my life her music helped me. I see her now and I feel the pain for her when she lost her husband.
MAN WHEN I TELL YOU I love this song... very well written for real... I think she's an underrated artist because she's an awesome writer. This song is sad, I think it's about her husband's death. I know it's a song that's probably difficult for her to sing. But, she channeled her pain very poetically GOOD JOB! didn't know you had a video for this song... I hipped about 25 friends on this song...
i remember when I first head "Like a Star"..i was getting my hair locked up, sitting down watching VH1 Soul back in late 05 or early 06..I dunno, i remember hiding my crying while i was getting my hair worked on (no one saw me lol). Took a trip to the Philippines and bought her album there, before it even came out in the states. I've loved this chick ever since. I think her music and her can be summed up in one word......Beautiful. For Jason..I know and can tell. Can't wait to buy this album.
this song means a lot to me , as the song says ... i think even when it hurts, even when there are problems, even when there is loss ... even when there are tears ... love outruns all of the sadness because love is bigger , bigger than everything.
@thelasonj i saw her...she is amazing, i think it was the most perfect concert i've ever been to, the concert was in a botanical garden near the sea, imagine that scenery at night and corinne singing, she looked like a goddess in the eden it was amazing!
i feel tears everytime this song gets to the part when she sings "i'd do it alllll againnnn" cuz u hear the pain in her voice and just watching her in the video on that part....it always gets to me....that part just screams emotion
This song every time I hear it, it never fails to put a tear in my eye. It's just the way she sings it and the way her voice sounds. She is SO BEAUTIFUL, LOVING THE HAIR!!!!
I remember when I first listened this song. Time has passed even though it's not that long enough, and the pain at that time is now past to me. But the memory still stays. Thank you to singing a song with sympathy which can raise up someone from depression. This song is so special to me. I hope you can overcome your pain and keep singing your song, Corinne. From Eun Hye, with love.
I cant get over how amazing this is...so rarely do u get good pieces of music and i think thats why we appriciate it even more when it does come out...this is just...... astoundingly beautiful...
my absolute favorite artist, my mom told me this the other day: "someone to love is bigger than your pride." in different words, of course. guess i had to learn the hard way...
