Keira Knightley | "Lost Stars" (Begin Again Soundtrack) (2015 Oscar Nominee) | Interscope 

Adam's version has the passion and performance polish of a professional superstar musician, and that is valuable to be sure. But the gentility, fragility and vulnerability of Keira's version, with its unguarded lack of pretense, is literally exquisite and thoroughly heartbreaking. It seems to capture the purity and uncompromised sincerity of a songwriter with his/her precious material that seems to pour straight from their hearts and onto the page. Adam's version is meant to be performed for a concert hall full of adoring fans; Keira's version is meant to be cherished like a secret jewel... one human heart at a time.

It doesn't matter whose version you prefer, Keira's or Adam's. You just have to remember Gregg Alexander wrote it. He's the real genius here :)

I prefer this version. In this version, you feel the agony, the nostalgia, the vulnerability which are not so apparent in Adam's version

I'm so grateful that I've watched this movie

*Keira's version is for a breezy spring day* ⛅🍃 *Adam's version is for a rainy Autumn day* ☁☔

I cannot accept that the fact the movie was criminally underrated, it was beautiful. It surprised me that Keira can sing, even without autotune she's still perfect

"I saw a lion kiss a deer." How life can be so unpredictable no matter how much you think you've seen it all. That's deep, man. Too deep.

she has such a sweet voice

I would play Adam's version for an audience. I would play Keira's version for a special someone.

I love how relaxing her voice is. It seems like society thinks the best singers should have a big, loud voice but I also like voices like hers. It's so gentle and down to earth.

This is one of those songs you play while you lay on the bed thinking about life.

Keira's version is better. The movie also showed this. Adam's version is commercial and he changed a song for fame. It is louder and more upbeat and overdone. Keira's version is authentic and real and original. Not that Adam is untalented or anything like that but this song was created for a movie to show that music means so much more when it is real. Maybe more people liked Adam's version, but that is the point. The public will like the song that is more pleasing and basically a copy of all the other generic pop songs out there but music is for YOU. If you feel the emotions of the song, the connections, that is music. That is the true version. If you write a song for fame or publicity it will not be the real meaning of a song. It is a commercial tune to draw people in. Keira's is real, heartfelt, music. Even the movie demonstrated it.

These lyrics... "Cupid's demanding back his arrow! "God, tell us the reason why youth is wasted on the young" This is so heartbreakingly true. We never appreciate being young.

This movie was so great. I always come back and listen to this song

This is such a beautiful film about human connection. Dan and Gretta might have gone on with their lives, but deep down, they will always remember the moments they shared when they were both vulnerable and falling apart. A beautiful film ♥️

I remember watching this with my ex and she starts singing along to it. It's one of her favorite songs. Thing is, she really could sing. Unfortunately something happened and we broke up. Now every time I hear this, all I could remember is her singing. *sigh*

I just can't get this song out of my head

Was going through a tough break up when I went to watch this alone in the movie theater years ago… I broke up again and this song makes me both sad and hopeful.. nothing in life is certain, cherish everything you love and live life, love life, love those around you, things change and we never know who is and isn’t going to be in our lives one day and not the next.

Keira is one of my favourite actresses!! I feel like this song has got a vulnerability and tugs your heart which suits the beautiful lyrics of the song!!

LYRICS Please don't see Just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies Please see me Reaching out for someone I can't see Take my hand, let's see where we wake up tomorrow Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand I'll be damned, Cupid's demanding back his arrow So let's get drunk on our tears And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy? Woe is me If we're not careful turns into reality But don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer Turn the page, maybe we'll find a brand new ending Where we're dancing in our tears And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? And I thought I saw you out there crying And I thought I heard you call my name And I thought I heard you out there crying Just the same And God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars trying to light ... light up the dark? And I thought I saw you out there crying And I thought I heard you call my name And I thought I heard you out there crying But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark? Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

Oh Keira, my heart is melting.

not just that this song is incredible, but so is Keira Knightley! OMG, OMG, that's all i can say when i heard her sing in the movie! and about this song, i gotta be honest, i love HER VERSION, although Adam Levine can hit the high notes in this song but no, HER VERSION is just flawless!

One of the most underrated song ever.

yeah, I still prefer Keira's version. Sometime it doesn't need to be too powerful, though I do like Adam's version too. But this tranquil, silent, sweet yet agony kind of feeling reach my soul more.

I like Adam's version way more than Keira's. Maybe because Adam is my favourite singer. I don't know. But when he sings it...I just feel something.

Keira is amazing.

One of the best feel good movies of all time....after watching it I have not watch a single movie for more than 1month...really loved it

Best movie with greatest song I ever experienced

Wow, what a hidden talent. Pretty song. Makes me want to see the movie now.

Such a beautiful song... I like Keira's version better than Adam's for sure. Begin Again was in my Top 10 Best Movies of 2014.

This was so sureal it felt good music r soul soars ur mind pools. the heart and we find this awsome.

Sometimes I come to hear this song when I'm sad. Maybe Life is not as beautiful as they show us. Just maybe. I wish you all a happy satisfied life

I like this version way more than Adam's. Keira is flawless.

Luv this song

Voz linda. Maravilhosa!

I never get tired to the whole soundtrack! I can listen to it foreverrrrrrr!

love love love this movie.

Love it

This is just too beautiful to hear everyday

Lovely sweet music!

Just perfect.

When I was younger and more filled with passion, I used to relate more to Adam's version of this song. I was desperate to be heard. I'm still young now, but I have grown more mature, a bit. Now I relate more to Keira's version. I'm full of acceptance. I don't have to be heard by everybody. Having a few people around me who listen and understand is already enough.

An adorable song which makes us to feel like heaven💗💗💗

the best !!!

I ADORE this song 😍❤ so pure. You can feel all the emotions of her character

I love both versions. Superb song writing.

Keiras voice in these songs touched my heart

Gentle and sweet 😊

Love keira !!!

ได้โปรด อย่ามองฉันเป็นแค่ผู้หญิงคนนึงที่ไล่ตามความฝันและจินตนาการเลย ได้โปรดมองว่าฉันกำลังไขว่คว้าหาใครสักคนที่ฉันจะมองแล้วพบเค้าจับมือฉันตลอดไป. " ดวงดาวที่หายไป "

i realy love this song, good job Kiera

I love this song 💙I will never forget.

She is my favorite actress since I have memory and now listening her singing is like a gift from heaven, I'm in love with this movie and the soundtrack couldn't be more accurate

Saw this movie for the first time on Netflix I thought the music was awesome 😍😍👏👏

Que voz linda!! 😯🥰

shes awesome . love all her songs

The obvious symbols in this song are stars, constellations, astrological signs (Aries and Leo). I think this is a story between a sheep and lion representing two lovers. Their love seemed ideal, as compatible together as Aries and Leo in horoscopes, but this song is more about separation of two lovers when they were young (“I thought I heard you out there crying”). The singer now wonders if there can be reconciliation, as he is also feeling regretful (“Just the same”). The song poses a question: No matter the differences between two people, can it ever be that they can still love each other? As it alludes to the Bible, that a lion lie down with a lamb? (“Lion kiss a deer”) There is a similarity here. The answer: Young love can have partners that are selfish, too idealistic, and believing in fate without compromising. Partners break off their relationship then and there. Now when he is older, the singer realizes that the relationship he had before was great, and that a truly ideal lover is rare to find. If fate comes once in a million years, the YOUNG lambs who are “searching for meaning” are wasting their youth trying to find it. They are running from the differences (running from lions in the “hunting season”) when they should actually not run away, and make compromises. In conclusion: Have a little give or compromise in love. Otherwise, it is the common mistake that people make, and become like lost stars. Only a few people will click 100%, like lucky stars in the sky belonging together in a constellation, and who have met fate. The numerous rest of us are just shining. And does it really matter? You can barely tell apart a constellation from the rest of the stars. The lesson is that there is happiness in love even when it’s not perfect. -RidingMyBike July 4, 2015 at 8:55 pm

I borrowed a musician's guitar, microphone and set up to play this song at work, on my break. I was tired and I totally forgot the chords of the last verse and had to apologize to the audience. They were forgiving. One of my co-workers said that this song made her happy. God bless!
