This song is so beautiful. Ever since I first sang it, I've been looking for someone I call my "star person." (Yes, it's super weird and cringy lol.) My favorite line in the song is "You are not of the ground on which you tread, but of the stars." And I know this song is about a parent's love for their child, but I think anyone you love that much could be your star person. That person is so special to you that you believe they are from the stars in the heavens. I searched for a year to find that person. And I finally found them. I hope you all find your star person someday.
for me, this song is about nature taking care of us humans and seeing us and all of the plants and animals as its children. We are the angels, the gods, and the peasants. We are supposed to take care of the earth and we havent been, we've been drilling for oil and eating the animals when we arent supposed to. Even though, nature still stays by our side until the night swells again across the sky. (:
I sang this in my sophomore year in choir. I searched for that person since then. And found him In my senior year. Everyone has a star person and they do come around when you least expect. So to any one who needs to hear it. It is worth it. And love is coming
This song pierces my heart every time. This was my baby sister's balcony song for All State Choir. She performed it less than two months after our mom had passed away. For those few brief minutes, it felt like mom was with us again.
I did this while cadet teaching for my AMAZING CHOIR TEACHER! Honestly we did this song like everyday and I didn’t like it but after I started singing it after I graduated it brings me to tears because it brings sooo many memories from that class!!! i will always love and miss them! I wish the best for them all!
This song was of many my choir now can't preform this year. I'm heartbroken for everyone that was effected by this. My best friends don't get their last concert, I can't expierence that with them and sing just one more song with them. It hurts to listen to these songs knowing that. I hope everyone stays safe
I remember doing this for a competition and I remember seeing everyone tearing up and it really did touch mine and everyone’s heart.. this song by far made my high school year great I loved it
This piece is so celestial and serene. When I heard the first time at my step daughters choir concert... I couldn't help but cry it touched me so deep in my heart. My mother passed away in 2011 and my heart has been broken since... This song ... It was like she sent it to me, to my heart for comfort. Thank you for this beautiful gift. I love this So much.
Lorie Swisher I hope that your heart has healed a bit by now. I think that your mom wanted you to hear this lullaby, and be comforted. You will see her again. ❤️
we sang this for our choir UIL in 2021, and it was a really special moment for all of us. it made both our choir director tear up, it's become one of the highlight moments of my time in choir. and i miss them all. lobos ❤️
I sing this song like everyday in choir learning it for our concert and I swear it’s going to be soo embarrassing cus I’ll cry every time I listen to it so I’ll probably just be crying in the middle of the concert😢😢😢😢 but this peach hits me so hard in the heart every time. I am not telling my parents or showing them this song because I know when they hear me sing this they will start balling and I wanna look in the audience and see their raw reaction
@@strawberry_.hearts. thank you, no one else in our grades choir knows the wprds.though. at rehearsal today, me and a few others were rhe only ones who memorized it. half the altos dont care and neither do any of the tenor barys. a few accpetions. we have had these songs since september and i dont understand why. this is going to be so embarassing. ill update you after 🥲
I'm singing this song with my best friend at memorial concert for a senior at my high school who committed suidcide and this song gives me the chills every time I listen to it and whenever me and my best friend rehearse it.
this song it sooooooo beautiful my daughters sing in the choir concert it was so beautiful she said that it even make her cry cause this song is really you really did a good job Jacob Narverud.
I don't know why but I am so drawn to this song, specifically this version of it. The way that the tempo is slowed a bit from the other versions makes it that much more beautiful. It may sound a bit odd, but this is what I would like to have performed at my services when I pass. It would be in my eyes the perfect send home back to the universe. All I can really say is thank you!
I used to be an alto and I have changed to a second soprano sadly, can anyone give me tips on how to hit the high notes without voice cracks? (specifically the stars part)
ItsJustAnna xx make sure you warm up your voice a lot. Even just slowly, to help get into that head voice more. Something that also helps me find high notes less intimidating is when you are about to make your voice go higher, imagine it’s going lower. I know, weird, but it works. It will give your sound more strength believe it or not. Basically, think down when you go up. And if all else fails, you don’t want to damage your voice by pushing it beyond its limits, in that case fake it till you make it and tell your director that reaching notes like that is hurting you and damaging your vocal cords.
Dancing with Roses thank you so much! it will be difficult to warm my voice up though sadly, choir class is my 1st period. but, probably when i wake up i can try to warm up my voice! thank you!
ItsJustAnna xx i know this sounds weird, but when you go for higher notes think of using more chest resonance and breath pressure in your chest. and my choir teacher has us think of it like an elevator: as the elevator (the note) goes up, the weight (your voice or mindset of your voice) goes down.
I know this was a month ago but who knows you might have to sing something soprano later on! I’m a veteran soprano 1 in multiple audition choirs 😂 My best suggestion is to anchor anchor anchor! Use your core! If you need help singing in that space, try to squat for the higher parts. I like to think nailing my toes to the floor, no reaching or forcing in the throat. Also my practice (not for too long) laying on the floor. Some on your back first, then on your stomach. Feel how your stomach moves when you breathe. I find my sound is a lot better when I do that, it’s a lot free-er sounding! People make fun of me but I do this regardless because that’s how I get my best sound! I have many more tips so if you’re interested, don’t hesitate to reply to this comment!
I keep coming back to this song. It was so pretty and fun to sing this in 8th grade for chamber. I loved this song so much I would relive this moment again if I could.
Y’all I’m a freshman this year and I am singing this and I am also in stage choir and it is so prettyyyy!!! So many dif peices that clash and are amazing
Singing this in my first concert tomorrow. Or my first concert at least. I couldn't attend last years concert because I'm also in band :) I play tuba as a 7th grade girl in a male dominated instrument or at least in my school lol
I love this song is so amazing . It made me cried we were listening to it in chorus is just so perfect and amazing it brings back so many memories to which some hurt looking back at and some that I will always remember 😭 . Thank you💖 this is amazing
Fiona Sport We’re singing the SA version, but I couldn’t find it on YT rip, since we’re a treble choir. We haven’t actually started practicing it yet, since we just picked it out last week lol
Earlier today, I wrote a fic named after this. It’s called “Dreaming (You Return To The Stars)” it’s about someone dying of old age and reuniting with her brother
So mad that I can't find a studio version of this song, I can only find live performance audios of it with all the background sound and wacky audio and it makes me so upset
My middle school chorus teacher makes us practice this and today he FREAKED when he hear how good we sounded at the "of the stars" part ❤ edit: wait there are tenors and bass??????
@@jacobnarverud I just wanna say that because of your pieces and Eric Whitacre and Daniel Elder and Ola Gjeilo inspires me to teach choir. I sung this at District Honor Choir this year and I just wanna say that this song really speaks to my heart. I am majoring in choral education and major in composition. Thank you so much for inspiring me! Keep making more pieces!
I love this song it is so beautiful and I am singing it in choir. It made me tear up when I heard it. I love all the crescendos in this song. Especially the part “ of the stars “ it is amazing what this song has done to my voice. It turned it from a dull tone to a perfect melody. And I love how the high parts are easy for me to hit. Love this song. Thank you
I’m so thankful to you for doing this piece. I am singing this at my choir concert. I was so nervous because I couldn’t find an accurate song to practice with and I found this and I was like THANK THE LORD! THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED! it helped so much and made me feel more secure about myself in my singing so thank you so much.
In 8th grade I finally gained the courage to audition for the OkCDA All-Sate choir, and with so many after school hours learning this song and many others, I made it. Lunar Lullaby has left such a mark on me that I tear up whenever I come back here and listen to it. I will never forget the role this song had on starting my love for All-State and helping me break free from my comfort zone.
Thank you for this beautiful piece of music! My community choir is singing this tonight at our winter concert....it was fabulous at last nights rehearsal - actually made me tear up. Thank you for your gift of music, Jacob.
let’s keep it real. We are all here cuz we sung this in choir and thought it was rlly pretty
Frrrr lol
i didn't :( I heard the colorado all state sing it though, they did so well
Yeah I thought it was so pretty I’m learning it on piano😂
We just all hated it bcs it made us tired and we couldn’t figure out the lyrics
