Entry #1 Introduction.





                                                                                                                                           


"A Sky Full Of Stars"


'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the path

I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars
I wanna die in your arms
'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm gonna give you my heart

I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you

'Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You're such a heavenly view

To start with, I must say I love "Coldplay" and I just could not think of another song that represents myself other than from this band. Even though this song could be taken as a romantic one, I feel represented in its lyrics and I will tell you why.
The song starts with the phrase:"'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars". And I have felt this way all my life. I once heard:"On the darkest nights, the brightest stars shine", and with this I do not mean I have had a hard life, but every time my sky went dark; I just shone brighter than ever. And I guess this is my strongest attribute. I have overcome big difficulties along my path, and I feel as if every single star shining in the sky, is one of the big issues I have dealt with.
"I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do, ooh
'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you"
 I felt really represented with this stanza during my adolescence. For some years, and for some reasons, I felt apart of everything; and as it was not enough, a dearly friend of mine hurt me during my toughest time at high school.  Yes, you know how important is to be part of something, especially during your adolescence. But this did not break me, instead, I got stronger and it helped me a lot to define my personality; and what is better, to choose my friends. Now, looking at it from this perspective, I think that everyone who dares hurt you, has also gone through some kind of difficulty, and has also "a sky full of stars". Moreover, I have learnt not to take any offense in a personal way, but instead; be more empathetic and try to look beyond the problem. 
I am writing this because I know that being resilient has been the key in my life, and I would not be where I am now if it was not for this personal characteristic I have developed.
Above all, I want to leave with this last stanza which means everything to me:
"Cause you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You're such a heavenly view”
No matter how chaotic your life is, it all depends on you if you want to give it a twist and turn it into a "heavenly view".

  1. Maru, I have listened to this song many, many times but now I realize that I have never paid attention to its lyrics. They make me reflect on my personal and closer relationships. To be honest, I do not have a huge family, just my two sons and only a few beloved friends who I trully consider part of it. They are the ones who fill me up with energy and encourage me to fulfil my dreams. You know, we all have our own "SKY FULL OF STARS", and they are mine, for sure!
    Lovely song! Thanks for sharing it!

  2. Maru! I really feel you. I know how it feels to be apart of something... I experienced it during high-school too. While I was reading your post, one word came to my mind: "resilience" which is the ability a person has to overcome obstacles, you have described it perfectly well by writing: "But this did not break me, instead, I got stronger and it helped me a lot to define my personality". I'm really proud of you.

    Thanks for sharing this, my friend!

  3. Wow! This is the second time I heard this song and it's SO BEAUTIFUL! I already loved Coldplay for their soft and relaxing vocals and music, and their intriguing videos... but the lyrics of this song are better than I thought! I've read several quotes and sayings about stars, including the one you mentioned, and I love them!
    "You're a sky full of stars" can mean so many things, from all the people around us shining like stars too, but also our wishes and hopes and dreams being the stars that light up our path and guide us forward. It's a song that seems to talk about being stronger, about shining even when the darkness surrounds us, about not giving up. What a wonderful choice of a song, Maru! I believe you and this little group of friends we made throughout these four years at the ISFD N°41 has become my own sky full of stars, and you're one of the stars!
    I think I will listen to this song a bit longer now, excuse me...
