Stars - Ageless Beauty

[whytelynes]

I really love this song. So beautiful. It's because I love the song so much that I really wish the sound/video quality was better here. I want it to realize its full potential.

[MrAwkwardMe]

Such an awesome song. Always cheer me up

[Varaidzo1]

This video is so frickin cool, i really love the symbolism, its kind of saying that you never know what beauty lies underneath a person.

[TRMDYLE666]

240p WTF.

[kokopelli314]

Amy Millan's voice has a quality that burrows through the center of the music. It has the ring of truth.

[lannazazaz]

lol i wonder what this video means XD

[GayWorldEnt]

This band should be bigger than they are.

[TepidVision]

@GayWorldEnt they are

[PaperBagRecords]

My favourite Stars song <3

[RemLydia]

This sounds almost the same. It's scary, /watch?v=GMBatTd25ss

[spankmecold]

Wow, great song and great video. All the more reason why the audio deserves to be better quality!

[drds89]

I just noticed the kiss at 3:46 between Amy and the keyboardist, is it Evan? They're going to have a baby this year.

[drds89]

Amy's voice is just flawless...nice pop song. Did the idea for the video come from Teletubbies? ;-) (we have 4 kids, youngest is 8 now LOL)

[SpitfireDramaQueen]

I swear I can listen to this song a million times consecutively and never tire of it; it makes me cry, it's so full of truth♥. Rock on, Stars♥♫.

[AStateOfCreation]

If marriage was possible between a man and a woman's voice, then Amy Millan's would be mine.

[JamesTheFiddler]

saw this vid on Much like 4 years ago and been searching ever since such a beautiful song

[StoneGregory7]

This is by them!?

-_-

<3

[penelopero]

They are always from canada ñ_ñ

This is the story of my life too

[18tastee]

best track on thealbum

[Hustlerae]

@18tastee agreed

[mismatchdDePpFaNaTiC]

The only reason I gave thus a 4 star rating was because I first heard this song when I went for their concert - weird bc this is so popular - and though this is amazing their live rendition of it was felt like a dark piece of heaven for the ears if that makes sense. Just listening to their music strikes a chord in you, them live is a whole new level altogether!

[jonnytheleyther]

Amazing



[UnReal31337]

Thumbs up if you think Amy Milan and Emily Haines should do a Tegan and Sara-esque side project.

[paintball31]

Shit quality

[Courtney1984]

This isn't even my favorite Stars song, but it's the one song/video that I never, ever, ever get sick of.....so beautiful, even if the video is 'cliche' and/or 'lame'....

[msradical101]

amy is so cute.

[koietan]

totally luv it.

[administramation]

Stars makes the best pop music ever. It's devastating, Torq's lyrics, Amy's angelic voice, Seligman's production/keyboards, Cranley's bass, and of course Pat's beats. :)))

[kaari1]

Great song!! If you like this check out the band INOUWEE with the song "liquids playing misty games"

[flashxm1]

@736napper

What is your idea good music? Hip hip pop rap screamo?

[johnwoog]

@736napper Excuse me what?

[emceenomoney]

why am i just finding out about these guys now?? better late than never, i suppose. they're great!!

[joshsalvi]

6 days...

[BrittanyBurgessBABY]

Why is the sound so awful on these videos? I know it's not the music because I just listened to the album on iTunes and it was clear and loud, but it's not as clear on the last two videos I watched.

[kleash]

The music video is way too cheesy for me, but good song nonetheless

[TheJonnyle]

i saw these guys in houston for summer fest, they were awesome!

[placidian]

My favorite Stars song, it's just perfect!

[kcuffoda0ltihs]

Stars are the bastard children of Broken Social Scene.

[Elmosama]

my first time listening to them and they have got to be my new love!

[MrRicardocarlos]

this is retatdededefg whatttt niggga stfu ur aganst me u wish literally yes rly yes im getting hard my ut ccccmy cunt

cyg\ is it ute cccccct

[bastlake]

is that a Vox 15-R Pathfinder? That's my amp!

[Kelchup]

Gosh why did she go to these drinks, doesn't look like she knew anyone.. :/

<3 Stars :D

[valverdista]

It reminds me my good ol´ times in Barcelona...

[101princess]

heard it before can not load video but check at

The Professionals 123

[joshmb91]

the meaning behind the video is interesting it represents not being afraid to show who you are. the girl looks embarassed to be there,like she doesn't know anyone, she hates being around people, and is forced to show everyone who she is. she looks quite depressed and frustrated at the end. ageless beauty - who you are underneath/inner beauty - i guess cause it never fades like outer beauty and something that isn't appreciated by a lot of people.

[owenissalty]

i just got into Stars, they sound really amazing! i love their style

[Hawkmoon85]

une des plus belles chansons que j'ai entendue depuis quelques temps...

[MEGAINDIEROCK]

Official video uploaded on my page @ Best Audio/Visual Quality on YT [720p HD] (Panoramic View) MEGAINDIEROCK;=)

[indikidxx]

oh man. i grew up on artists from arts & crafts. this song was one of the many examples of what consistently played on my dad's cd's. proud to say i still love it.

[stedgefest]

This song only came out 6 years ago! Still liking something that only came out 6 years ago, makes it sound like you're talking about holding true all this time, except this is 6 years we're talking about, by a band that is still current. Bizarre comment.

[indikidxx]

@stedgefest haha no i mean the song. i listened to it a lot when i was little.

[alliekatt88]

haha, I completely agree with you. growing up listening to Stars sounds odd, it's totally a bizarre comment.. if indikidxx listened to it when they were little, they'd be like.. i don't know, ten years old?

[llamavszombie]

@indiekidxx, that's so sweet your dad has amazing taste in music!

[daxman2121]

and i also forgot to mention something my brother said at the concert while staring dreamily at amy "She has the voice of an angel" lol good times

[yougotcrad1]

:57 the glint of her eyelids...

AMAZING SHOT, HOLY SHIT.

[abgenerette]

Alright, I've been in love with this band's music since "Heart", but, damn!!! I simply cannot get enough of this song and video! Say something about Pop and I'll say shut up: that's just one of their instruments. The song feels so close to someone's heart and so open, both at the same time. And, alright, yea, I really like watching Amy throw her hair around. Sue me.

[daxman2121]

The Stars managed to make the leap from indy to mainstream without selling out.......that's an impressive feat for any band, they went mainstream and still sound the same, I had the pleasure of seeing them live a couple years back and they happen to be one of those bands that sound just as good on stage as they do on CD which IMO is the real talent.

[inlovewithkaile]

love what they do with the vocals at 2:08 - "perfection" to me would be to stop singing after the first minute. (done) do creative fill and sounds for the rest of the song. let people's brains repeat the verse/chorus melody stuff if they want to hear that kind of formula - but why spoon feed? i guess that's why it's considered "pop". dance away!

[oberst1989]

gotta love Canadian music!

[whynotchill]

@oberst1989 unless it sucks

[armstrong1964]

"...oceans won't freeze...." i love the way she sings the line...and the whole song. hypnotic...definitely:)

[jonboy7777]

awesome song.

[LordCatfish]

Amy Millan.. You are my ageless beauty.

[luxorinflux]

...completely hypnotic.

[fmachadomaia]

yeah, it's pretty cathartic. like when you finally arrive home after some troubled times...

[girlwantgirl]

is this band broken or??

[Amishlust]

One of the most perfect pop songs i've ever heard...kinda shoegazey which is always a plus ( :

[TheSpeakslow]

I definately agree ^ - ^

[LordCatfish]

Yes. This song.. Is everything you would want from a song.

[peoplesilver]

when first heard, i was convinced it was Mazzy Star amping it up. diggin them both. wow.

[worldcrafter]

amy millan looks drop dead sexy when she sings...  amazing band.

[thehushkat]

I used to prefer Most Serene Republic's version of this song, but now it's growing.

<3 Stars.

Come to California!

[squidsquared]

Magical.

[siqbrah]

oceans won't freeze,

so loosen your heart.

[hhhhorizon]

Amy Millans voice is absolutely gorgeous!

[midouespeon]

god i love this song so much

[saogirasola]

♥

[corntate]

this song was in the movie penelope

[Bartleby1945]

Incredibly goofy and clichéd video—incredibly powerful and sensitive song.

[ShineOn0327]

Oh my god. I heard this song a few years ago, 1 time, not sure where. No idea as to who it was or how to hear it again. I always sorta remembered to melody, so it haunted me in tryin to find it. I just stumbled on this trying to find the song in the new prius commercial (which is not Stars). My day is made, amazing song, amazing pay off to a 3 year quest to find it.

[KagurasSacrifice]

a song always sounds better after you search for it for three years. story of my life XD

[thehushkat]

wow seriously?

intense.

stars better give you VIP passes to their concerts, or something.

[KagurasSacrifice]

better just recrute her to the band

[kooldragon95]

@KagurasSacrifice amen. it sounds better even after a few months >_>

but then again, you don't have to search for this song for long for it to sound amazing

[raycapslock]

@KagurasSacrifice funny. i have a similar experience. i knew just a line from the song i've been searching for and i never knew the tittle or the singer.. haha.. but my girlfriend found it for me.. it was like a revelation.. haha (with the clouds opening and the light shining on me..)

[failblorg]

@KagurasSacrifice then someone stumbles on your post and recommends Mew and carpark north and your journey is complete :)

[PhoenixHeart19]

The best part of the song is at 2:20 when the lyrics "oceans wont freeze..." come up =)

[frostflower789]

lmao this video is awful. good song tho :D

[SamuelBonillaSatan6]

I don't know it seems some teenage related dramas, girl goes out at night to meet some friend next thing you know some heart felt drama had happen on a dark night with nylon lights and city lights combined together.

[Starrii]

Reminds me of a bad 70's rock music video.

[isolatedoddball]

I love the track, but the video is terrible. It doesn't suit the track at all. This track could use a bright, colorful, upbeat video.

[abell7428]

this girl you guys keep debating about had better not be amy millan.

cause she's kind of amazing. and if all you can say is 'shes hot', then you're seriously messed up.

[sinnertwin7]

ageless love song

[begoneyoubum]

Now that her secret has been revealed we must wait until STARS puts out another similar song to compliment this one!

[BodaciousZ]

either a surgery like represemnting her heart was stolen, or perhaps just to make us do what were doing, wondering and arguing

[Vondapuloz]

But she sure is hot.

[indielover101]

i've added the high quality version again:)

[ilikepiratesroar]

she put the X there because she thought it looked cool...

[plasticfelinerodent]

God, that girl was very hot. I don't know why she's getting made fun of. By the way, so, what happens to the girl now her seacret is reveiled?

[PinkFIoyd]

Sounds a bit like My Bloody Valentine...WOOHOOO GREAT! But poor audio quality :-/

[Exophorie]

My friend is in this music video!

[christhe1der]

I think that the "X" on her chest represents something inside her. Something lost to most people in this twisted, mad world. Hope and love. She's one of us. One of the dreamers. There are more of us than you think.

[sHART1780]

That wasn't overly dramatic and pretentious at all.

wait...

[sherlock034]

HAHAHA. amen.

[lullabearr]

hahahaha

[iyah101]

that is a very substantial reply

[sHART1780]

You're complete because you read a video reply on youtube. good god...

[iyah101]

not to be mean or anything, but that is kinda sad.

[GaaraFan2011]

@sHART1780

lmao, wow. so many pluses on a negative comment... you guys realize this comment is a diss to the song right??? i'm not sure which is more sad, he who can't recognize the beauty of this song, or the people who didn't realize the sarcasm of this guys comment.

[sHART1780]

@GaaraFan2011

I don't dislike the song, I just think the video is really cheesy. It is kind of odd how popular my comment is, though... wow. I don't know if people got it or not.

[oatmeal5001]

Maybee. I thought it just was her way of saying that she was straight edge

[sHART1780]

I thought it was her way of being over emotional and pretentious.

[dvorazhe]

to me, the 'x' on her chest represents a broken heart as though that place had been marked for being hurt or stabbed

[narozzz]

So Amy's straight-edge....or that 'X' means something else. Uh? Anyone have a guess?

[sunshiney99]

I was just wondering that myself.

[4ad23]

cross your heart and hope to die? meaning truth & honesty? that's what came to my mind when i saw it.

[AnarchoNationalist]

The lo-fi of this video actually gives the song a nice sound

[captain150]

I was thinking the same thing. Softens it.

[aphexxx77]

fucking love this song..... god i miss shoegaze

[SeriousSarcasm]

Love the female vocalist. :D

[flirtNL]

dreamy song....

[kyrellgrant]

♥

[jazzbasstuneup]

Cool band

[buffy10134]

Hey awesome song:) Love it and the know the stars drummer he's an awesome guy:) They are all awesome!!!

[queenrayray7]

I desire it, I need it.

[indielover22]

I've uploaded this video in high quality:D

[kamackei]

Does this mean she didn't get kicked out of the party?

Thanks for uploading this.

[hotfuss84]

Can someone PLEASE reupload this video?? the sound quality is RUBBISH!!

c'mon, you're ruining a lovely song by making it sound like it's blaring through a pair of ipod earbuds.

and that makes me sad (sad face)

[FoundToFind02]

hee hee the girl in this video reminds me of myself....exactly

[l0velii]

amy looks beautiful in this video.

[flyakiteGDI]

there are songs that i love then not anymore,

songs i dont like then they grow on me,

and this is one of rare songs that i allways loved.

[hotfuss84]

I think its about how self-conscious you can feel at that age and how you should just "expose" yourself and be who you are and accept that we all have flaws and love yourself anyways.

or some shit.

haha

[lukethekidd]

you chat shit nigga.

[Juxtatype]

Stars: if you're reading this, I've told everyone I know to buy your albums. Wonderful stuff.

[taweeks]

i dont get this music video at all.. why is that in her shirt?

[ARTYFARTYKATE]

you dont always have to 'GET' videos at all.

[murbones]

the light represents her body that she is self councious and unsure of?

[murbones]

maybe it represents a young girl who is beautiful but self concious and unsure of herself but when she finally "opens up" and takes off her jacket she is beautiful like a shining light? what do you think?

[heroclix0rz]

I think it's either a very simple message about people judging before they truly know a person, or a very complex message that i don't have room to explain here.

[murbones]

I want to hear it! please?

[heroclix0rz]

500 chars: I saw it as a girl who wanted to show everyone that their silly parties and conflicts (or jobs and relationships) are pointless in comparison to all that the world (or the Universe) has in store. Not that she feels she is smarter or more "enlightened", but that, by living in their little party world and pulling her into pointless conflict, they are keeping HER from experiencing the universe as she sees it. This is what she wishes she could do to make them realize. Just how i saw it

[jackyreddington]

that was perfect. thank you.

[tuttifrutti91]

That's a great interpretation :D

[not4uu]

lush made this type of sound called a 'guitar wash" in 1990.

also a band called Ride made a cd called "nowhere" that also features this type of sound in the same year.

i've always liked them all

[GrifterUno]

Gracias for the education, not4uu. But no worries 'cause the shoegazer sound is makin' a comeback, my friend.

Luz, Paz y Amor.

[tagtime]

This is one of the songs Kids in the Hall used in their 2008 tour.  They had a tremendous play list.

[Snett111]

True. They´re reminiscent of Lush.

[sarkissamuel]

awesome fuckin song

[Marcblur]

Good song!  If you like this look up an old video by Lush, called For Love.

[nzge15]

i feel this song should be i n amovie

[rawrhellokitty]

It is in a movie. x] It's in "Penelope".

[imajetsetter]

Ahhh... no wonder if sounded so familiar. I love this song.

[loveisonly4therich]

Remiscient of My Bloody Valentine.

[liamunderscoret]

Why does this song always sound muddy? I like the tune a lot, but every version I've heard of it sounds like a poor-quality recording. Was that their intent?

[indielover11]

just uploaded the vid with superior sound quality:)...

no because i seen the video on MTV2 a few years back and the sound was perfect....

[amatoanima]

This is one of those rare albums that you can listen to...from start- to end.

Simply beautiful.

[DasGeschenk07]

wunderschöner song einer einfach umwerfenden band.vielen dank für solche musik.

[psboston7]

LOVE LOVE this CD awesome band

[jaye230]

I never said I didn't get this video...I've never seen so many people who can't comprehend a simple english statement, but then, this is America...Also, everyone is so soft these days, noone can handle the slightest critism...grow up...

[sarkissamuel]

hahahaha so fuckin true :D

[marinachristou]

Grrrrrrrrrrreaaaaat guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[diinajee]

amazing!!

[abeyantbirds]

i love her voice this is a good song

[saquie]

Not like they have a major label, and obviously they prefer it, they don't even take venues in large cities. They keep things low key and stick to music, not fame.

[jalapenyoo]

indie windie. :)

[blackbloodysabbath]

thats why they're distributed by EMI and spend their time doing stadium tours in japan. seriously, indie means nothing these days..but theirs nothing wrong with that. these guys still kick ass
