LYRICS:
Star star, teach me how to shine shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind
'Cause I don't understand these people
Who say the hill's too steep
They talk and talk forever
But they just never climb
Falling down into situations
Bringing out the best in you
You're flat on your back again
And star, you're every word I'm heeding
Can you help me to see?
I'm lost in the marsh.
Star star, teach me how to shine.. shine
Teach me so I know what's going on in your mind
'Cause I don't understand these people
Who say we're all asleep
They'll toss and turn forever
But no rest will they find...
Star, teach me how to shine.. on

Ain't got no words for this pure lyrical voyage, with the most beautiful arrangements and performance. Maybe the most lovely song I've ever heard.

[@Phildavs12]

This was the first dance at my wedding!! Absolutely awesome track!!

[@Aeon135]

I've seen this song live 3 times, and each time the violin interlude was different. Last night he broke into "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka midway. Also "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" the time before that. GO ON GLEN!

[@sweeneysdominatrix]

This is one of my fave Frames songs. I remember being asked to write out the lyrics of any song that popped into our heads in English class years ago and i wrote out this. It speaks about restlessness to me. I can relate. :)

[@abhishekmehra3345]

Such a brilliant song. Saves life during lockdown!

[@lelencz]

The most pure lyrical voyage through our dreams with a perfect arrangements and performance. One of the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[@HMichal87]

Teach me how to listen to songs by Glen, The Frames and Marketa. It's about immediate feelings, love, emotions...I'm impressed.

[@Kiriyama666]

i love this song and doesn't matter what anyone says about it. i will still love it...

[@KeithGreville]

Classic...makes me proud to be Irish....

[@AlanClinton123]

its been a long struggle for Glen ..glad to see him doing so well!

[@11Tov]

One of the best songs inn the history of ever.

[@UsedDoor]

The lyrics are just beautiful! I am a new fan of the frames. I've only heard very few of their songs (the first ever I heard was falling slowly), but I think I am going to fall in love with them! =D

[@irishmusiccentral]

their first album was called "Another Love Song", released in 1992 on Island Records. They were dropped from the label and then went on to record "Fitzcarraldo" themselves in 1995.

[@devinrobertson5251]

Love this song. So calming.

The bold walk early in this video is totally at odds with the gentle music.

[@김미경-j3i6i]

어제는 밤하늘의 달이 어찌나 예쁘던지 별을 잠깐 잊었지만..난 밤이되면 늘 고개를 들어 밤하늘의 별을 그리고 달을 한참이나 바라본단다. 너를 생각하면서... 지금 내 그림속에도 어제같은 포근한 노란달님이 떠 있단다..나를 비추고 있지..늘..

[@valkiriforce]

When watching old videos like this it makes me wonder where I was at the time this music video was first being recorded and what I was doing at the time and how I was missing out on this stuff.

[@KevinMacCourt]

One of Ireland's best bands...

[@Jack-bh5ro]

U2

[@Jack-bh5ro]

The stunning

[@JoseMendez-qj3sq]

Mi artista favorito. Desde que lo descubrí en "Once" su tipo de música me cautivó y encantó, simplemente no puedo evitar escuchar esto sin que un sentimiento de tristeza y cariño recorra mi cuerpo. Grande Glen

[@nigahigafredsmosh]

I am so proud to be Irish :D

[@semimortal]

this song made me love alternative rock

[@brabma]

It's rly pretty nice song

[@gonzoqueen]

I just discovered them through Damien Rice :) They're lovely.

[@MialinneaM]

great song :O

[@caradeyou]

beautigul song

[@Legaleze50]

The Brooklyn Bridge to Coney Island. Since they wind up in Coney Island, it has to be the Brooklyn Bridge that they cross, regardless of what train line went there in 1999. It's actually a long ride and a long ride just over the bridge. All of the amusement area of Coney Island is to be torn down and redone, leaving only the roller coaster, this year. The thing with the "oil bursting" is actually and old parachute ride, also to be torn down.

[@musicsprawl]

Très belle ballade!

[@MEGARANA]

Nice song

[@MoonNymph775]

Brilliante :)

[@Aeon135]

"I believe in this song" I think that's the only true thing I can say about.

[@Legaleze50]

Trying this again. It's the Brooklyn Bridge to Coney Island, probably on the "N" or "Q" train. A long ride and a long ride over the bridge. The amusement area of Coney Island is to be torn down this year and only the roller coaster will remain. The thing with the "oil bursting" is an old parachute ride. Also to be torn down this year, if not already torn down.

[@willdanceregardless]

Come back baby, teach me how to shine

[@janghiskhan]

beauty

[@NaomiChalon]

Hermoso ♥

[@mcnamarawilliam]

[@bannerbabe85]

i'd love to sing with them someday

[@beerymon]

words fail me .... just superb ....I'm in heaven

[@LeighK93]

class

[@AuntPearlsGlorybox]

Makes me proud to have Irish descendants! Hang on I mean ancestors!

[@irishmusiccentral]

you have a *LOT* of catching up to do!

[@thebrunette]

wow

[@keyfo]

Gracias por todo **

[@FFIONNTAN]

brill

[@okee9]

yeah, i wonder was it taken out for copyright reasons, i liked it with it in.

[@CroppyBoy1798]

@pam082 Once? What that?? Hell yeah I seen it!!! Damn good movie!! :)

[@garrethdavis]

@bannanasheep literally could not agree more

[@Lindaofthepinda]

*You're flat on your back again* teeheehee! :P

[@lilmunch64]

no, they're right. i just looked up epic in the dictionary, this was the exact, word for word definition.

[@la4lorelai]

May I ask you what is the meaning of "you're ver word I'm heeding"? I know what "to heed" means, but I can't actually understand the point of the whole phrase.. btw I love this song!

[@shishirba]

i think it is your every word im heeding, as in, i am, and will once you tell me how to live/shine, follow every advice

[@bahaitka]

Somebody religious would heed the word of God. Glen seems to have faith in the person he's singing about. But what do I know..I don't understand these people:)

[@jennifercondon261]

❤️

[@irishmusiccentral]

I think he was looking for other songs from The Frames.. I'd suggested Star Star, Angel At My Table, Red Chord, Revelate, Pavement Tune, Dream Awake, Perfect Opening Line, Seven Day Mile....

[@Paddyslippers]

absolutly fuckin brilliant..

[@bammbiieee]

haha i heard the cow too lol

[@gonzoqueen]

This question might sound really stupid but does anyone know where the video on the bridge is filmed? I've seen the electrical post (? not sure exactly what it is called) that seems to have oil bursting out of it on the cover of the novel Requiem for a Dream. If someone could let me know where this is that'd be great :)

[@okee9]

Why are the lines from "Pure Imagination" missing from this ? was there copyright issues ?

[@MrConorGibney]

me boish

[@Panker_lightTV]

Смотрите и остальные клипы, они этого достойны! Watch the rest of the clips, they are worth it! kzbin.info/aero/PLe5gZNpLy0W2zLG6t28GhlRmjbHLXreuA

[@tawmbout]

23 people don't want to shine.

[@lozzybozzy234]

Alright their good. I Liked falling slowly. Do they really have to make all their other songs depressing? It's a bit much.

[@kabluwi]

@seth2186 Sadly

[@viento00]

I wish I was Irish

[@YouTube_User2023PM]

anybody saw "Once" ?

[@slowlyupward]

I suspect that you are unashamedly plugging here! The use of the word deadly gives you away as being from Ireland I am afraid! Being Irish I think this is funny!

[@fillip27]

twice**

[@Milotita1]

sounds like a village version of Radiohead music to me...

[@beerymon]

@bannanasheep lets just say is ..lol

[@flyawayhome3]

@SuzakuAvenuePush or, alternatively, they didn't like the song.

[@per2]

both albums 0 and 9 from damien are great glen and damien = swell music u can also try jack johnson

[@GraemeK84]

:(
