Stars Go Blue
by......
Apparently, today's song has LOTS of versions! Its a gorgeous song, and I couldn't quite decide which was the very best, so I decided to offer several and let you choose. Let me know what's the prettiest to you!
The words have beautiful images, I love to imagine the song as he sings. What he's really talking about, I'm not sure though, it seems to be up for commentary. What do you understand about the lyrics?
Enjoy this poetic and pretty piece!
Ryan Adams is the one who wrote the song and originally performed it. Personally, I don't like his voice very much. Seems like it was featured on the tv show One Tree Hill and gained popularity from that.
I think this may be my favorite. Apparently, these are two Norwegian artists. I think the girl is so pretty and her voice is sweet.
Another popular version. I like the Corrs part, but I've never been a huge fan of Bono.
This is the version I was originally familiar with. I really love it. Blake Lewis did a cover of Tim's version on American Idol, so I think most people are also familiar with this version.

Mmmmm, Blake Lewis. I love him. He's so my favorite idol ever. Not necessarily the most talented or nicest person. I just adore him. Though Stars Go Blue was not his best work.
I definitely like the foreign duet best. Something about duets just get me. And they were very cute and sweet. I don't like the original- he sounded like he was dying.
As for the lyrics, I think they're just so sweet. Pretty. Personally... I just imagine them dancing, late at night. Fireflies. haha. A lake. (This is how my brain imagines it for no reason.) But yeah, I've always taken it as just a dance. And of course, she's been hurt- her broken eyes, and he wants to be with her. Butttt, that's all I've ever thought. Though the marionette line does make ya wonder what was on his brain, ya know?
What are your thoughts?
