  • this. is the most awesome video i ever saw

  • :0 I'm in love right now. This music... oh god. ;w;

  • tee hee his eyes 0:36

  • (Believing / Not believing) in (God / A god / A superior being) is a personal preference... whether you do or don't is completely irrelevant to be discussing on Youtube in the comment section of a video. If you wish to preach, rant, or discuss these topics then i suggest you do so in a place that relates to these topics, with an audience who can actually give a flying fuck on a rolling donut about your.... 'beliefs'.

  • @ANGRYcowFACEe i agree

  • when i look at the stars i feel like myself!!! :D

  • charles darwin loves this song!!!

  • @MrPocketGroover how can he!!!!! HE'S DEAD!!!!!! 

  • i see someone else

  • great song! ... but what's with the video of this and then underwater part 2 with "Happy is a Yuppie Word" (another great song!) ??

  • I could lie outside on my back for hours into the night just staring at the stars with this song on repeat, especially out in the country on a mountaintop. Such a beautiful scene, such a beautiful song. It reminds me that though this world is filled with chaos and destruction, our God has put so much out there to remind us that He is there and that He is bigger than all our problems.

  • I'M SOOOOOOOOO Exited to see them live in April in twin cities MN!!!! It'll be my first concert! plus my faavorite band!!1 XD

  • AMAZIING VIDEO AMAZING BAND

  • Eargasm achieved

  • guys why spend time hating people when you can spend time loving God?

  • So...what i want to know...is why music on youtube has to provoke so much arguing. Really? Why cant people just accept that no one can convince anyone else of what is the right thing to believe. Everyone will come to find what they truly believe at some point in their lives, and what others say will not matter in their decision, So why bother arguing? It is just childish. Let it go.

  • You know, why can't Atheists and Christians get along?Im not sure I know what I believe yet. But I have read the Bible twice.I know more than many "worshipers" know.Which upsets me,why put your heart into something or call yourself something if you don't follow the guidelines or know the history of what you worship?As a famous man once said,"if going to Church makes you a christian,then sitting in a garage makes you a car."Atheists have pretty realistic beliefs,so do Christians...the smart ones.

  • @TheWolf395 ok so no.

  • Dont scroll down! People will try and down you about believing in God!

  • Why did they re-upload this?

  • I love this song and, man, I love this music video it's just really fun to watch

  • Reminds me of of the commentary on TVU:

    Jerrod: "they look like the little mermaid band!"

    Obadiah: "Ariel!!!"

    Couldn't stop laughing after that! :)

  • Wow, on the moon, surrounded by football stadium lights, singing in front of the tree of life, and floating in invisible water, and while all this is going on the laws of water physics are being ripped to shreds. This is the coolest and trippyest video I've ever seen.

  • @MrCodywt I was thinking the same thing along with also thinking I bet they had a blast making this video lol

  • I enjoy this song!!! =D

  • like if you still listen to this song in 2012

  • anewell41 lol on ur comment

  • My boyfriend has lead me on a Scavenger Hunt for Valentine's Day, which lead me here: "Stars" is the first song we jammed out to at a Switchfoot concert in Austin, Texas. I love how my favorite band has made an impact in my life through music and memories! <3

  • the first song i remember being with you at the concert. at that moment i knew i had something no one else has ever had. LOVE! As I walked in paris I found a beautiful bridge of locks. check out my profile Pick at 530pm my time. Happy Valentines Babe!!(Te AMO MAS UNO)

  • Let's look at the stars and a world that is beyond ours. Let's look at God

  • I love this band's videos, they're great

  • is that the same guy?

  • I was so disappointed to find out they are actually new age and not Christian as they claim to be.

  • @Rockette2RockerChic A band is whatever they want to be, and they are definitely christian, so I'm not sure where you heard they are new age, but they are not, and they definitely are christian.

  • This song's been stuck in my head all day. Been a long time since I last heard it

  • i love this band and im agnostic this band isnt just for christians its for everyone ...they re doing it for the music and switchfoot also does it to refer to god

  • @kingz8ter No it's all good(: you aren't meaningless:)

  • jon looked so cool back then

  • Believe in your beliefs, don't feed them to other people, be certain of God or Brahman etc to yourself, but not to others. Respect the fact that not everyone thinks there is a god, and that even those who do think there's a god, it might not be yours. I for one follow no particular religion and find the Christian god to be a closed minded and outdated concept. However, that's only my opinion and I respect all others.@soccerchick9841

  • @TartanTrouble lol u silly

  • @UNDESPUTEDchamp Explain how I'm silly

  • @TartanTrouble I didn't mean any disrespect or harm. I am christian.

    I live for the lord.I praise him. I thank him everyday for all of the blessings he

    has given me. but there is nothing wrong with not being christian or belonging

    to any religion. I wasn't trying to feed it down anyone. Everyone has thier own beleifs and opinions.

  • Brace yourselves... The Atheist are coming... lol

  • @anewell41 wait i have an ideaaaa lets goo back to the beginmning

  • @anewell41 Don't get your panties in a twist! I mean no harm, i'm just here to jam out!

  • @starwarsandtffan I know lol im just jokin around haha

  • @anewell41 Be afraid, be very afraid.

    Logic and reason is so terrifying.

  • @anewell41 it seems they came early :(

  • 2:31 wow it looks like Zac Efron!

  • These guys never cease to create great music videos! Keep up the great work.

  • check out my channel for the lyric video!

  • esta muyb bueno

    

  • Just Reminds Me How Beautiful The Stars are that the LORD created.

    Reminds me that even through there are crazy people out there the world

    is beautiful because the LORD created it. Praise Him. I love You Jesus

    :)

  • @soccerchick9841 That's atheist trollbait right there if i ever saw it. But Amen to that! :P

  • @soccerchick9841 did you purposefully write this to try and piss of someone? because it seems like you did and tried to bring religion into a placewhere it isnt necessary.

  • @pkmn7777777 How very atheist of you. Calm down bigot.

  • @pkmn7777777 As crazy pizza said, atheist troll bait.

  • @pkmn7777777 no,I wasn't. There's nothing at all with being atheist.

    or not belonging to any religion. That's anyone's right. I wasn't trying to

    force anyone into anything. I just

    said how I feel. Like everyone else on youtube I made a comment.

    I have my opinions you have yours.

  • @pkmn7777777 this is a christian band and a christian song. religion can be brought up here all it wants. if you don't like it, then don't read.

  • @soccerchick9841 troll

  • @kingz8ter I'm a troll because I live for the lord and this band is amazing?

    Yeah makes sense!

  • @soccerchick9841 whatever keeps you believing that we are not meaningless, im sorry i was in bad state of mind when i wrote that. nothing against you. i dont know you. :)

  • @soccerchick9841 That dude gets credited for everything he never did...

  • @MCSpidah I disargee with you,but hey that's okay everyone has their own opinions

  • @soccerchick9841 You don't really believe the 'LORD' created stars do you..?

  • @soccerchick9841 the lord didnt create shit it was the big bang you fucking freak

  • @Alvi858 So there was nothing and then nothing exploded and became everything? That doesn't make sense to me

  • How is white and nerdy by weird al related? -_-

  • if you like this video you might like video called "switchfoot-the making of stars". it shows how they made this music video.

  • lol did they film underwater?

  • @EmMabunnylover YUP! They sure did! xD cool, huh?

  • @ProfPotater haha i wanna try it x)

  • My favorite switchfoot song of all time!

  • I love this song because it is true.

  • When I need some *serious* inspiration and uplifting, this song does it EVERY time. :) !!!

  • This is awesome! They're underwater!! haha

  • 5,559 likes to 43 dislikes? WOW. thats not something you see every day. an average video with 5,000 something likes usually has about 600 dislikes even if its a good video.

  • Comment removed

  • 1:40 haha ROFLAPIMP

  • My big bro <3s this song

  • Thumbs up if you watch this more than once. =)

  • this guy reminds me a little of Curt Cobain lol

  • @krazymatt420 it's Kurt Cobain and theyre two completely different people. Jon's hair is like Kurts now, and thats really their only resemblance.

  • watched

  • When I look at the stars!!!!

  • Man, these dudes play the sweetest guitars

  • I love this band <3

  • when I saw this in concert they dimmed out all the lights so we could see the stars, and told everyone to light up their phones

    switchfoot<3

  • This song just fills me with all kinds of happy :D

    <3333

  • Chad has some strength! Do you even know how hard it is to drum underwater? There's tons of pressure.

  • I love looking at the stars, they are so beautiful, and it reminds me how small my life is with all it's tiny problems and tiny complications. It makes me smile to think about how immense the universe is.

  • I don´t believe in god so I´m on nobody´s side...why should there be sides anyway?

  • this song is so amaizing!!

  • This is the short intro version

  • this band takes me way back in the day

  • Thumbs up if you thought of looking to the stars after listening to this song :P !!

  • @bossShaman I've already been looking at the stars before listening to this song.

    Stars are absolutely amazing. Bestfriends I ever had.

  • @bossShaman

    its daytime in my country !

  • I'd had 30 years of rock music under my belt when a buddy turned me on to these guys--this song showed me something new.

  • "Gods are children’s blankets that get carried over into adulthood." grow up, christians.

  • @lunaelarvae Growing old is inevitable. Growing up is optional :)

  • @7ySayOcean ;-)))) If we choose....haha!

  • @lunaelarvae Go hate some where else.

  • Comment removed

  • @lunaelarvae Cool story bro.

  • @lunaelarvae, Correction: "God is children's blankets that get carried over into adulthood." I think you misinterpreted this...It simply means God is the blanket of the children. He protects them. The children keep faith during and after they become adults.

    Nice try though.

  • @mslovefool21 no, it's definitely you who misinterpreted it. a child's blanket is something that a child carries onto because it gives them a sense of security. for instance when they're scared, they cling onto it. of course it doesn't actually do anything, it just makes them feel better/safer etc.

  • @lunaelarvae God is my best friend! Now why would I let go of Him?! Hes been there when I needed Him. He always hears every single prayer. I think about Him every single day. and if thats not how you feel about Him then I'll gladly pray for you =D

  • @PlushNSpaciousStudio but sweetie, there is no god. i don't feel anyway about him, as he does not exist. he is nothing more than fiction. a character from a book. i will hope that one day you grow to employ logic and (un)common sense.

  • @lunaelarvae Well I feel bad for you :)

  • @lunaelarvae Why do you care what others believe?

  • @Vincentsdream i don't. it just bewilders me how sane adults can also be so intensely delusional.

  • @lunaelarvae I beg to differ. You are going out of your way to pursue a debate with those who don't share the same belief as you. That alone shows you do care, but honestly it's not business of yours. Stop trying to impose your belief on others. And yes, I say this to Christians as well.

  • @Vincentsdream but no, i really don't. just because i have an opinion about something and feel the need to express it does not mean i'm attempting to force my views onto someone else. only that i'm trying to see what others views/justifications may be.

  • @lunaelarvae See, you've gone beyond genuine curiosity and have entered into the area of ridicule. That clearly shows that other beings faiths that don't agree with you disturb you. It's sad that you have to feel this way, as the world is big and we really shouldn't bicker about what one person believes and another. Hopefully one day you'll realize this.

  • @Vincentsdream oh god, you sound so pompous. you're wrong, but if that's your opinion, fine. also, you're actually the only person i feel i've 'bickered' with on here, so congratulations: you're a massive hypocrite.

  • @lunaelarvae you're half right, there are no gods but there is one all knowing all seeing TRUE God that loves and wants you and everybody/anybody with Him! How do you think people and nature came to be if it wasn't created by God? Just honestly wondering

  • @PlushNSpaciousStudio and how do you know this? who are you to say that your religion is valid but others aren't? the only difference is the ludicrous stories and names. honestly, i have no idea how this planet came to be. i'm not a scientist, i'm just a logical 15 year old. i do know that some guy who endorses rape, child abuse, incest, and cruelty in general did not make it come to be. that notion is completely and utterly ridiculous + unfounded.

  • @lunaelarvae I read the Bible. I'm just saying its not logical in my mind to believe that nothing exploded and somehow became everything. No i'm not saying that Christianity got it right because that causes pride and pride is the downfall of everybody. God doesn't endorse rape and all that He just lets it happen. those people sin, we all do. That's why Jesus had to die for us. He was the last and ultimate sacrifice.

  • @lunaelarvae Tienes toda la razón, muchacho, es tu lógica natural y sin ninguna malicia la dice esto, la religion siempre causa maldades, por eso busca a Jesús no como religión,el hombre siempre ha sido religioso, aún las sociedades ateas, adoran a sus políticos, pero tu busca a Jesucristo el que murio en la cruz por tí, yo pensaba como tu, tu si abres un poco tu corazón él se revelará a tí. Soy de la Iglesia Pentecostal Unida y te digo Dios ha sido bueno conmigo. Lee Hechos 2,38.

  • @lunaelarvae man i'm prayin for you not to cause another argument i can keep a chill head it's up to you if you can to but why is it you don't believe in God? if you have questions, i'll be happy to try and answer them i am just curious

  • @wehurtthosewelove i've never been anything but calm, but as a general note when communicating with people, saying things like that is what irritates them.

    i think the better question is: why do you believe in god? i don't because it is completely illogical, and i am logical person. i don't because there is not even a shred of evidence. not the slightest thing suggesting it's even a possibility.

    i don't actually care to hear your answer, but if it were me that would be something to think about.

  • @lunaelarvae ok i apologize that did come off very bad and that's my fault and i apologize. but seeing as you are a logical person what is it you do believe in? logically you have to believe in something.

  • @wehurtthosewelove i believe in science, and i believe in not lying to myself because it makes me feel better and gives me some sense of purpose.

    just something i remembered: i stopped believing in god about the same time i stopped believing in santa claus.

  • @lunaelarvae well then i'm assuming you believe in the big bang well answer me this, someone that is very logical how do you put something up to chance and some equation. now i like to think of myself as a logical person. obviously i can't convert you over youtube, but i look at it this way, a painting proves there is a painter, a building an architect, a song a songwriter, so a universe must prove there is a creator. i believe that creator is God but i have reasons for it being him

  • Comment removed

  • The devil is in the details and God made it all for His purpose.

  • @lunaelarvae Do us all a favor do what this song says and look at the stars and think about the odds of a big bang creating those and then maybe you will understand

  • @dragoonGXT I look at them every night and nothing about their beauty tells my mind that they were created by a single entity that sounds like something out of a fairy tale.

    The people who don't understand are the religious ones, my young friend. The people who don't understand how the universe works and instead of dealing with that ignorance or learning more about it they resort to telling themselves it's all magic.

  • @TheWeegeeToast But how can you actually believe that the world was created on accident? Look at our human body or even the position of the earth in our solar system, If it wasn't for our exact placement, there would not be any seasons, no cold no heat nothing would be how our world is. Explain to me how any other event could creat all of that.

  • @dragoonGXT I don't have to explain it. I'm just not so weak-willed that I can't accept there are things I don't understand. When I don't know something I deal with it, I don't start spinning fairy tales about magic beings creating things just because I don't know how they work, I'm not that weak.

  • @dragoonGXT I could relate your logic of Earth's placement not being an accident as a newage equivalent of people who used to think we were the center of the Universe. If God exists what makes you think he would create an entire universe of uninhabitable planets and gases just so he could so carefully place Earth here like you say? Try explaining THAT to me. Your answer will most likely be "He works in ways we don't understand" or some nonsense about having a plan for everything. Convenient.

  • @TheWeegeeToast YTou say that they are uninhabited but do we know that they are uninhabited. And Believing in something that I cant see is being weak willed? yeah right it takes more will to be able to believe that there is something bigger than me. But if you get nothing from these conversations get this. People have probably wronged you by telling you lies about the universe but no matter what you believe there is a God and he loved the world that he created so he inhabited it with us

  • @TheWeegeeToast He inhabited with us because we were is most beloved creation. But we turned on him through the actions of our ancestors. Years later he sent his only son. His only son he didnt have more Jesus was his only son. I dont know who you are if you are old enough to have kids so I will say this. If you have a kid than you definatly love him because that was how we are made. Would you ever give him up? Well God did that for you and for me

  • @TheWeegeeToast . When Jesus was on the cross he bore your sins because he loves you for who you are. he doesnt care what you have done because we all sin. Sinning is what makes us human.

  • @dragoonGXT Because of our sins we cant be with God. But because of jesus bridging the gap we can be and he will always love you and will send people to help you get to the point where you WILLINGLY follow him.

  • @TheWeegeeToast You may turn him away milions of times but still he will love you

  • @TheWeegeeToast Sorry these posts are out of order if you are going to read them start at the bottom of the posts

  • @dragoonGXT Don't worry, I'm not reading any of them. I can tell by your attitude that you don't want an adult discussion. You want to preach fairytales like a pretentious child.

    Have fun living in ignorance, just don't expect me to listen to it. I'd rather not taint my brain with your words, child.

  • @TheWeegeeToast Im sorry It appears that I have done you a diservice. I hope someone else will help you to understand that God is not a fairytale and that he is real and loves you no matter what you do. If nothing else I hope you understand that this was actually an adult discussion you just cant see it yet.

  • @dragoonGXT lol okay now I get it. You're a troll posing as a living stereotype of an inbred Christian nut. Congratz, you had me fooled.

  • @dragoonGXT um maybe you should change your approach??

  • @ibemanny99 yeah I think I have got that but thanks for your help

  • I love this song so much .

  • Oh wow. They cut the intro of the song. :(

  • 43 people accidently clicked 'dislike'

  • When did they change the dislike bar to white?

  • Aren't they afraid of getting shocked? :P anyways great song!

  • @COAM52 You really think they're plugged in? C'mon. :D

  • @kahmar99 Hmmmm your right.... that wouldn't make sense!

  • Loveeee it maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn!!!!

  • ya know, u don't have to believe in god to like switchfoot.. just sayin, people kinda act like you do.. music is music and it inspires all different types of people

  • Wow!!!! How beautiful video it is!!! This is the first time I see it!! Wonderful!!!

  • Theres alot of stuff about this group and song thats untrue. This is The Jon Foreman Meaning- Stars" is about perspective, a song about stepping back in the midst of chaos and looking at the stars; the idea of anti-entropy, implying there must be something keeping the world together. The second verse talks about our world from the perspective of the stars looking down on earth from the eternal dance of gravity and motion.

    Written From the Descartes Veiw. Our world being messed up.

  • Sigh... Christianity.. unbelievable.

  • @Miragexe ya its unbelievable how real t is :P
