Lyrics:
[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
We are part of this universe
We are in this universe
The universe is in us
Yes, the universe is in us
[Lawrence Krauss]
Every atom in your body
Came from a star that exploded
You are all star dust
From a star that exploded
[Tyson]
Look up at the night sky
We are part of that
The universe itself
Exists within us
We are star dust
In the highest exalted way
Called by the universe
Reaching out to the universe
We are star dust
In the highest exalted way
Reaching out to the universe
With these methods and tools of science
[Richard Feynman]
Stand in the middle and enjoy everything both ways
The tininess of us;
The enormity of the universe
[Tyson]
The atoms that make up the human body
Are traceable to the crucibles
That cooked light elements
Into heavy elements
These stars went unstable in their later years
And then exploded
Scattering their enriched guts
Across the galaxy
[Refrain]
[Tyson]
We are part of this universe
We are in this universe
The universe is in us
Yes, the universe is in us
So, I'm 19 and I just noticed that humans are the universe trying to discover itself. My life is changed forever.
Indeed. Think of it too, don't feel small when you think of the universe. Feel big, because you are apart of the universe. You came from it, you are the universe trying to understand itself and it's amazing
Hold onto that sense of wonder. Don't ever, ever let it go. You'll need it in the adult world. My delight at the wonders of this crazy universe is what keeps me going in a world that has only ever been dull and painful and disappointing.
Maybe, possibly if humans evolved from star dust that came from an exploding star and matter was scattered across and stars were formed coming from the energy from the supernova converted pushing atoms and particles into solar systems.
Welcome to the fold, my friend.
_read The Ra Material, brother._
During my years of depression, these thoughts kept me alive. I was thrilled by being starstuff, connected to everything else, a temporary manifestation of matter in the uncomprehendingly vast universe, yet so unique. It gave my life meaning.
Only years later I became familiar with all these great science populators, saying my thoughts outloud.
I think it's a message all humans should be familiar with. It's humbling and thrilling
+Noa Zilberman How are you doing now?
InYurEye91 Better than I could have ever imagined...
I hope to be there someday too :)
+InYurEye91 Oh, the optimistic smile at the end of your wish, makes me feel like it will indeed come true. If you want to talk about anything, I am here. Wishing you the best and sending a hug from afar :)
+Noa Zilberman
I think I just felt myself evolve watching this.
i liked your comment which is 7 years right nowww
Haha. Same here.
agreed
weird question but do you still have that mp3 player?
@Donald Nasir dont worry bud we know those are your alt accounts no need to waste time
I love the story DeGrasse tells of when he was an aspiring student. He had opportunity to meet Sagan and was bowled over in amazement at Sagan's encouragement. What I love most is that DeGrasse has resolved to honor that generosity by mentoring others. Surely both men are filled with wonder and delight in what they learned. It shines from them like billions and billions of stars.
+Valkyrie Sardo I remember hearing about DeGrasse's story about how he met Sagan, and I cried afterwards. I hope their legacies live on and shine as brightly as the stars.
*We part of this universe....*
*WE are IN universe....*
*The universe is in us..*
*Yes, the universe is in us..*
I know it's been 3 years but I need to tell you that your profile pic is horrifyingly beautiful
*Every atom in your body...*
*Came from a star that exploded...*
*You are all star dust...*
*You are all star dust....*
*From a star that exploded...*
Absolutely! And it's awesome! I never get bored with taking my telescope outside and just seeing what's out there, because there's so much out there to see! For instance, Saturn Elizabeth Taylor never had a set of rings like that!
How lucky i was to discover this channel.................WOW
Probabilities are interesting beings
Same here ( After 4 years )
Who thought physics could be so poetic?
Pagen Hall All physicists and most scientists...
Science in general is both poetic and beautiful.
+Pages Hall
"There's real poetry in the real world. Science is the poetry of reality "
-Sir Richard Dawkins
Only a scientist can say to their child that "you're my little star!" and mean it in every possible sense.
haha, that thought on line is quite genius xD
Or someone who understands science
In the highest, exalted way.
@@ShadowZZZ Wow, look who I found!
A star that burns itself with oxygen and replenishes itself with hydrolyzed carbon.
The only appropriate use of Auto-Tune.
The only instance when I actually appreciate it :)
toh toh toh toh tho YE
i tried to say tho but it wen toh 4 tmes
I have to listen to this stuff in private cause I just end up crying.
Why?? It sounds sad?
@@love2laugh816 Of course it is, it's calling us to reach to the universe and stillwelack the technology to do fast space travel like faster than light :--(
@@love2laugh816 I know that the universe in within us , what I meant is, are we gonna live to see the day, the day in which we will finally be able to reach outer stars and earth like planets and take photographs of it and step foot and build human civilization there ?
Same dude, especially the Ode to the Brain one.
I cry every time I see "Timelapse of the future'.
remember kids, knowing this does not make you a scientist, discovering it does.
now go do science!
With the state of today's education system in America I would be happy if the kids at the very least know this stuff let alone do the science. Go science !
It's a small first step :)
Now go do lady science* (Portal reference).
How did you know im a kid?😠😞😭
Eduardo Kopik knowing this can enable you to do science....so even learning about science can make you a scientist
..
anyone still listening to this in 2022 ? it gives me chills!!
2023 here i am

To this day it remains my favorite Symphony of Science.
I just watched the new episode of "Cosmos". Science is amazing. I'm so glad that we live in an age where we can study the Universe.
Moonbeam
the next age is more awsome
they will discover universe like we did with the seas and contienets before ❤
For now anyway, the bible thumpers are spending all their time trying to drag us back into another dark ages.
SirSmurfalot Just live that to evolution since only the smartest and the fittest will make it through life and their genes will be passed on.
It's chilling that the "new" Cosmos came out 5 years ago. I remember watching each episode as they came out on NatGeo in high school and excitedly live tweeting about how amazing the visuals were and how much I loved space. Now I'm in university and don't have as much time on my hands as I used to. You never have more time than today.
Showed this video in my music class. :)
Got in trouble by a parent who didn't agree with it "religiously."
Sorry. My job isn't to teach religion; this is an amazing piece of work combining music and educational science. This song touches me personally in a spiritual way. I love it.
ivvy1221 some people are just too close-minded to appreciate something simply because of the beliefs of the one who made it.
ivvy1221 lol religion , the world would still be "flat" if we listened to religion
Josh Dugan and the sun would go around the earth, slavery and rape would be OK (bonus points for raping a slave), and anyone who questions it gets burned in a public place.
Guys... those things still exist, the world is still flat, slavery just changed to include every race, and the rape culture we live in blames the victim. Not sure if you missed it, but people get FLAMED on the internet ALL THE TIME. (I'm laughing, but seriously)
ivvy1221 it's kidding, not laughing.
also, most people don't blame the victim. they insult and treat the accused like shit although there has been no proof of it being him.
I'm instantly invigorated after I watch this. It feels good to be the universe.
"many people think we are small because the universe is big but i feel big because our atoms came from those stars" -NDGT
My old State History teacher showed my class this and I was so entertained and this gives me such a good feeling and puts me in a motivated mood, thanks teacher.
WAIT!
WHY AM I NOT IN THIS VIDEO!?
I have always said we're made of star dust.
War Wolf
Sorry. I am high on star stuff.
War Wolf
Yeah.
Hey have you read that book I told you to read yet.
lol
Carl Edward Sagan No sir, you clearly said "star STUFF"
Because this commenting-after-being-many-years-dead thing really freaks people out, probably.
SoS never ceases to amaze me or brings me to tears. This is so beautiful and poetic, and it just brings me back to when I was a little kid and I'd be in awe with the cosmos and everything I could learn about what was out there. These always find a way to rekindle my love for exploration and science. So thank you, Symphony of Science for always being top of the class.
+SirChubbyBunny If i had words, id use them.. just Know... Yes, I am the same.. Dead Stars Still Burn.
You aren't born into the universe, you're born out of it.
this will be part of a memorial service in Austin this weekend, thank you, our community member loved it and we love it too
This is ART... Very powerful ART... (ART that "I" smile to, and shed tears to...)
I just want to say to those that put this together...
"Way to go.!!!" VERY CLEVER, VERY CREATIVE...
Keep it up...
I still watch this to brighten my day... Works every time...
I still watch this to brighten my day... Works every time... :)
Lynn Welch till this day?
I always come back to this song because it fills me with such joy. I really hope NDT has seen this and every scientist. I wanna inspire my kid the way they do and the way melodysheep does.
It's kind of poetic that early civilizations would worship the stars, they had no grasp on why.. but they kind of had it right; they are our creators and in a sense, our gods.
I watch this I feel big. connected. reminded life is meaningful.
one day science and spirituality will be unified once again...only as we grow the mythological superstitions will be replaced with observable facts.
I could play this all day
We need this on Spotify
We are all cosmic beings trying to come to terms with a mortal existence~
I never get tired of this song! Just thinking about the fact that we are stardust.... Reality is much more awesome than fiction!
A little late in coming, but this was quite delightful to the ears. Very well produced to entertain, teach some fun facts and offer up a positive and refreshing vibe. We have yet to learn many truths and re-create new truths from theory. We are all born with open minds with infinite space. What and how much goes in is up to us and our power to rationalize, rely and appreciate. We breathe the world in, we observe and deduce, we explore and discover, we learn and share, then leave our existence on earth much more enlightened. What is beyond that is for the universe to decide.
Great; reminder of what we are in a lovely song : in the "highest exalted way"....
It kinda makes me sad to think i wouldn't have found this on my own. Thank ya jordan underneath
"We are an impossibility in an impossible universe." Ray Bradbury
Thanks for including me in this one. Truely grateful.
At this moment i am writing a book on science in America, I'm not an expert, but because of melodysheep's amazing videos and the many inspirational scientists (Dr.Tyson, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, etc.) that grace us with their knowledge i was encouraged to do the research, learn up on a few topics and write a book. Thank you melodysheep and Dr. Tyson for helping me realize my two true loves, science and writing.
See the eyes of sir . Tyson he feeling not expressed in words
"If you're tryna figure out just who you. Don't look far. In the sky, and your front yard. In your heart and in your scars. If you really wanna know just what you are. You're a star."
People believe that only religion can provide a feeling of spirituality. Not so. We can feel connected to the universe as we are literally part of this universe.
I've been listening this music since 2014. I need every Symphony of Science song on Spotify right now
Who just watched the eclipse in August 2017 and watched this video in response. Beautiful music, beautiful message. Yep, we are ALL a part of it.
Jungle: Only the fittest survive here!
Outer Space: Hold my beer!!
I love this universe, it so beautiful. Listening to this and looking at Hubble photos makes me choke up so much because of how beautiful this place is
As someone who has been passionate about astronomy since I was super young, I remember sobbing after finding the Hubble ultra deep field images. They were so breathtakingly beautiful, and the SoS tracks just added to the magic. It's moving beyond words to know that you're part of something bigger than yourself---all of us are. And to me, that's more powerful and awe inspiring than anything any religion can preach.
This song was so simple, yet so true, and so beautiful... I actually shed a tear.
Thanks for making this great videos
This makes me likely to cry more than any other works by Melodysheep.
So much nostalgia listening to this song because I listened to it in 6th grade science but it was my best class we learned something new every day
Each time I listen to this song, I cry....... Not of sadness, no, just by imagination !
Am i the only that likes watching this high?
Nope, been doing it for 4 years.
;)
you're not alone
I found We're All Connected when I was in high school, and needless to say it was an intense experience on top of feeling super zen on antidepressants. But yeah, I'm sure I'd transcend if I was stoned while listening to this.
More people need to know of Richard Feynman. Thanks for sharing.
0:46 I wasn't listening closely enough and I thought NDT said "Hook up with a nice guy"
Lmfao.
i just noticed that now 😁😁
We live in a marvellous place, where wonder and imagination can come to harvest its fruits in shape of discovery, poetry, music and much more. WIth love, Jacob Cameron Sevall.
I used to be atheist, but then i realised the universe is in us.
Are you a universist? (Something I made up) but it could work.
Now that I thought about it, it sounds like a cool thing to be. Of course there is atheism involved I guess but the way you see the universe is different from other people.
Oh my gosh! You're a genius!!!!
there is nothing about the propositions 'we are made from the stars, the universe is in us,' etc. that entails anything about a deity. logic much?
The Serious Account I hope you don't mean a christian god. I do believe that the higher power is the universe, is it an intelligent being? No, does it control what happens to us after death? No. It operates by a set of mathematical rules. But it is where everything that exists comes from, where we live, what keeps us alive, what is inside of us.
Please do not stop making these videos. By far my favorite channel
Who is still watching this in 2024👇👇👇
Me, again.
Thank you so much for this song. Knowing that the Universe is inside us is a beautiful thing. We are the stars. Let yourself glow.

I'm sorry, but it doesn't matter if you believe in God or you are atheist. You"ll be dust anyway.
"Till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return." Genesis of the Bible.
I don't understand what this abdula abula bitch is saying. Reality : Every single atom within us was a result of BIG BANG. Now nobody gives a fuck if one believes in God or not, its all objective.but these atoms, the big bang, the universe, It all existed long before the concept of GOD was created. And if one doesn't believe in evolution, then they can go fuck themselves. Way to go mate ... well said :)
XxXxXxXxX
Yeah but you know, there will always be people looking for answers in "magical" things, as they can't accept the fact our existence isn't part of a "divine plan".
Regards!
XxXxXxXxX gosh man, was that really necessary.
Kyder Dogd So, essentially what you're saying is that he HAD to use extremely disrespectful profanity in his statement, just so I would see things from his point of view. Why would I believe someone who feels compelled to say very inappropriate things and almost hurtful things to me with no justifiable reason? And besides why are you attempting to converse with me? This discussion is SO dead. I had almost forgotten that it even existed.
Kyder Dogd Seriously? Is it better to let kids go kill people then to use a "fairy tale" to get the message across that killing is bad?
Love the way the universe flexes itself when deGrasse Tyson says "that COOKED light elements into heavy elements".
He and Sagan were so close... A great man to carry the message...
Watched this when it came out and watching it now... Still as powerful as ever...
My science Teacher showed this song to us last year and I still love it so much
Tyson, in this video, looks like he's tired and trying to explain science to an idiot. XD
Only people who aren't natural scientists are spiritual idiots.
I think I saw something somewhere where he said that while he was recording some of those segments he was finishing up an 18 hour day while he had the flu. I'd look about the same I'd wager.
***** We are manifestations of the Conscious Universe (God).
It was just a comment about his facial expression, jesus, no need to get all metaphysical.
Biohazard Gaming Do you think blasphemy is a natural evolution?
We are lucky to be here. Now. In this place. All of us. Do not despair. REJOICE. REJOICE. REJOICE.
Just played this for a class of high school biology students - they applauded!
I applaud you!
this makes me feel good about myself. when ever you reach for the stars. touch yourself.
speechless... can´t get enough... thank you so much for sharing..
I believe in a creator. Many call him/her God. I believe that Science and Religion shouldn't be at odds with eachother.
We are gifted with self awareness, intelligence, and curiosity. It is inherent in us to try to understand everything around us, and we should try to find the answers of the universe.
I believe that a creator is evident, the more I learn, the more I can see the hand of the watchmaker.
The Big Bang was the spark that set everything into motion. To me, that doesn't mean that a creator doesn't exist.
Evolution to me could simply be stated as God's divine plan. Though there must be a missing piece of the puzzle since we're so different from all the other species.
We perceive things differently as we age, time itself seems to speed up. Steven Hawking proposed that God couldn't exist before the creation of the universe, since time itself didn't exist.
I dare say that a power capable of creating all that we know, and the natural laws that bind it, would be above those laws, even time. We know everything to have a beginning and an end, so it's impossible to fathom a power that could have always existed. A creator beyond what we can understand, not bound by time, and therefore eternal.
I'm rambling. In short. Believing in God isn't stupid. Believing in a book, wrote by men, at the cost of an open mind. That is a tragedy.
Evolution by definition is not guided. The environment that the organism lives in determines the value of its genes, which in turn affects which genes become more common which is evolution. In essence, no creator is required for this process at all. If God is not bound by time it would be impossible to impact us in any imaginable way.
You don't see the conflict between systematic evidence based investigation and make believe that contradicts itself and the evidence?
"I'm rambling. In short. Believing in God isn't stupid. Believing in a book, wrote by men, at the cost of an open mind. That is a tragedy." But where would your god be without the bible?
Jim Davis In your opinion, when did you stop beating your wife? That is called a loaded question. You are presuming God's existence and assuming that it is either God or nothing. Sorry, if God can come from nothing so can the universe and that question is a worthless fallacy. Even if there is something that could be called a deity, it would certainly not be the slavery and genocide supporting God that ancient Jewish settlers invented as part of their cult.
I feel so loved right now. :) The Universe and the Unity is amazing. :)
+Lianne Hoffy :)
This one ALWAYS makes me warm inside.
I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THE SYMPHONY OF SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's so beautiful to think about these scientific concepts while simultaneously being emotionally moved by beautiful music.All future peoples should be taught (all subjects) solely by using auto tune, the brilliance of the most intelligent people on the planet, and indescribably tasty grooves.
There are no combination of words in the English language to say what I'm feeling, but the closest would be, "BREATHTAKING/ FUCKING GENIUS!"
I just love the part where Tyson says look up at the sky
I'm starting a music career myself and everyday I improve in producing my songs. But I can only imagine what it's like to create something so amazing like this...
Man this my first time listening to symphony and I really appreciate the work thats put in to it for us starchildren. Thank you.
Crying too hard to even type. Thank you!
Please tell me I not the only Christian who believes in this
not the only one
José Mariano Tejada você não é o unico
+José Mariano Tejada the point is, it is not something you need to believe. it just IS . the universe will continue regardless of a belief in it.
+amojak my comment wasn't saying that is not an obligatory fact/believe. I was just pointing that still as a Christian I support that we're made of star dust and the Big Bang. Not the stereotypical idea that all christians believe that everything was made in 7 days bla bla bla.
If you believe the universe is god's creation, all the more reason to explore it and learn about it
Man, your work is so wonderful. The music is impeccable and you are a very brilliant person. How I enjoy all your videos. Tank you so much. Kind Regards. 😭💫👀👂🤩😍😍💫🤴🏻🤩❤
My favorite out of all of the SOS videos.
Thank you. I thought I was the only person crying.
I remember my 9th grade Science teacher showed us this video on our first day of class in 2013. I couldn’t forget how catchy this is
I love scientists very much. They are the bright side of humanity, my love for cosmology ❤️⚛️
Science is so awesome! And gawd damn poetic!
Love this so much.... it brings me to tears of joy...
You, sir, make me think in ways I've never thought before. I admire you're ways.
Such a profound compilation that reaches deep into who and what we truly are. I truly love this song and video. Testament to truth.
this is just amazing. Has anyone ever notated performable versions of your work? I'd buy it and sing it!!
I watch this every year. 🎉
I really hope these scientists have seen these videos. So well done.
We are stardust in the highest exalted way!
Goosebumps!!!

The Effects Of Gamma Rays On Man In The Moon Marigolds
Written by Paul Zindel :this reminds me of that monologue, one of my favorites. when i recited it in front of The people of my hometown at the city theater(HS drama club performance) i felt like we were revealing some great truth, it doesn't matter how different we all look on the outside we're all made of the same stuff.
im so thankful & grateful for watching this
Never before had science made me feel so genuinely good about myself. Even thought, when you think about it, the fact that we are indeed stardust is irrelevant. Because... well, we /are/ stardust. And that's that.
this is INCREDIBLE i already know all this BUT to hear it in music form is awesome
I remember when you released this and I’m still in love with it after all these years.
This sounds like me rambling to my wife at 2AM when I am baked AF and have entered into a new plain of enlightenment.
The first 7 videos or so of this series were almost exclusively Carl Sagan videos. I love Sagan as much as everyone else, but there are plenty of awesome scientists that also deserve a chance to be in the videos.
This back round is trippy
Anyone else love the piano ascending to the chorus?
Tyson in 2014, the new Cosmos, now not only with the recurses of graphic computation, but also with amazing real photos of the cosmos, revealed by the space exploration of our days. Will be amazing!
such a beautiful piece of art
All ur videos and song are very inspiring to me ...make me more complicated and to think out of the box ... hope u will produced more videos like this .... 😇😇😇😃😃😉😉😉..n who knows ur videos maybe an inspirations to the next generations to learn more ...
LOVE you Richard Feynman!
I need to find more educational content like this asap!
The fight against "faith" is an important battle that needs to be fought. But you're right; this is not the battleground.
Genesis 3:19 "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."
