I was 16yrs old when I first heard this song and it brought tears to my eyes ...... 15yrs later and I'm 30yrs old and it still brings tears to my eyes......... Absolutely love this song
i was 16 as well. it was one of the first albums i ever bought with money i earned from my lil part time job at starbucks. still listen to it all the time.
I was 10 years old when I first listened to this. It was a hot summer midnight, I went downstairs to get a cold water from the fridge. I turned the tv on and it's my local tv airing vh1. Not long after, Like a Star played in its older MV(not the new one available on CBR's channel, the other one!). I instantly love the music, the MV, and the whole aesthetic of the art. Trust me, it was one of magical moments of my life.
I do not remember how old I was when I first heard this song. I currently do not feel like putting forth the effort that is needed to do the math to figure it out. But I loved this song back then, and I love it still today. 🌸
Legend says Stevie Wonder called her personally after hearing this song and sang it back to her over the phone ..imagine a Living Legend being mesmerised by newcomer
No frills, no trills, no vocal gymnastics, no booming voice. Just tons of passion, soft, moving, beautiful vocals. Plus, she looks as good as she sings. You can't say enough good things about her.
This song has had me in a chokehold for 16 years. Even though the studio recording of this is a masterpiece, I just love this live, drumless, pared down version with strings. It’s so humble and intimate. She’s a real underrated genius.
I have never heard this song. Never felt the emotion she put in it. Never seen a face so lovely, eyes closed, and such a smile. when you listen to the words she says. I have never lived. Because I have never felt this kinda love.
I get so lost in her voice. She is my happy place..Takes me away from all my pain and lets me know there are angels out there with soft voices to comfort from all the harshness in this world.
I first heard this song in 2006. I was a little kid, and what I remember from that experience was my body physically being in a state of awe. My heart bubbled with love, the hairs on my arm stood on end and I had chills running down my spine. I was 12 years-old at the time and I remember wondering if there would ever be someone who would make me feel the way she felt when she wrote this... I’m now 27... And I met him. Together for four years now, and this is our song. ♥️
Me and my fiancé just found out we both used to cry and listen to this when we were both in 6th grade. Listening to this today brings me a different kind of joy. I think I just listened to this 20 times in a row
Corrine is such a pleasure to listen to. One of my favorite songs. I just love her voice. Very talented and unique definitely a breath of fresh air from the cookie cutter songs out there.
Not simply in love with this song… in love with everything about it: her voice, the melody, her eyes, the intention, the smile, the emotions that brings in me, imagining the feelings that brought to writing this song: basically in love with her and her soul!!! She says it means a lot to her, well it means a lot to me too. Thank you and God bless you @Corinne Bailey Rae…!
Her voice is so pure... a beautiful songbird with the voice of an angel. This song moves me each and every time I hear it! Like many here, I think this live version is simply amazing... a true testimonial to a great artist. Love and blessings from Las Vegas!
“Just like oils on my hands” line always gets me .... my grandmother use to put Virgin olive oil in my hands,feet and forehead and will pray over me as a bedtime routine.
this brings tears and smile on my eyes...he is so natural and classy..no need for too much drama and props...she's angels singing so smooth and sultry...it shits deep in the heart directly..God bless this lady...Luv her and her music.
it's rare to find a song that you never tire of, this song is an example of that. its perfection and potrays what most music of today lacks, simplicity, honest lyrics as well as a passion and love for music and not money. Im completely enamoured by this song and Corinne well she's nothing short of brilliant.
"Blowing out my mind"....those stringed instruments WITH her voice accompanying is beautiful....heard her sing this that night, why isn't she the best known name around man, music biz IS Corrupt.
How could anyone dislike this song? Or this woman? She is amazingly talented, her voice is so soothing and not overpowering, she's gorgeous... I love her!
emmmm goosebumps time! She is fabulous, and sings so effortlessly: opens her mouth.......and warm honey trickles out! Not many out there would do such a beautiful song, venue and orchestra as much justice.
Amazing. Loved her from the minute I heard her, almost 14yrs ago. She is just incredible, as both a singer, & songwriter. Seriously.. like an amalgam of the genius of Joni Mitchell & the inimitable Alana Davis. That great. 💗
wow! this woman is absolutely amazing! and you can see that the song means so much to her! it's a shame that the person behind this song is gone now, that mustve broke something inside her. Still... she is beautiful! Love you Corrine!
Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands, Honour to love you Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, You've got this look I can't describe, You make me feel like I'm alive, When everything else is au fait, Without a doubt you're on my side, Heaven has been away too long, Can't find the words to write this song, Oh... Your love, Still I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, Now I have come to understand, The way it is, It's not a secret anymore, 'cause we've been through that before, From tonight I know that you're the only one, I've been confused and in the dark, Now I understand, I wonder why it is, I don't argue like this, With anyone but you, I wonder why it is, I wont let my guard down, For anyone but you We do it all the time, Blowing out my mind, Just like a star across my sky, Just like an angel off the page, You have appeared to my life, Feel like I'll never be the same, Just like a song in my heart, Just like oil on my hands
The British producers are masters when it comes to sound quality in records and when configuring live acoustics for a singer. I'm American and as a song composer I search desperately for any advice from the other side of the pond when it comes to music.
Love this. Amazing Song and Live Performance. Thank you Ms Corinne Bailey Rae! This song warms me. In a myriad of songs in my heart and head, this one stands out, Just Like A Star....
I heard the song from my sister wedding , this song was her favorite. Now I'm listening the song that hope one star come to my life, become oil in my hand. One person always in my head when I listen the song , it's really sad and sweet feel at same time.
This song my speaks to me.. it’s like a melody we were all born with that we found along the way.. the melody. it’s so perfect ❤️ She’s so intoxicating.. beautiful and a voice to match
