Cardle, Matt - Starlight Lyrics






Hearts are racing at the speed of light
Eyes are opening and rolling right
Sinking feeling it’s almost like
It wouldn’t matter if we died tonight

We are beautiful
Breakable
We’re gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky
Like a shooting star, it’s just who we are

Pushin', pushin', pullin', movin' on
A sense of freedom we’ve been hanging on
I’ve cut the chord and now it won’t be long
Before we find out where it’s coming from

We are beautiful
Breakable
We’re gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky
Like a shooting star, it’s just who we are

We are beautiful
Breakable
We’re gonna lose it all to the light

'Cause in time, we all burn as one, in the sun, in the sky
Like a shooting star, it’s just who we are

Cardle, Matt Starlight Comments
  1. M.... Z....

    One of most Amazing beautiful voice in my life, great spirit inside. But why he doesn’ have many followers???:(

    M.... Z....

    He has enough followers to make a decent living off his music. If it concerns you that you follow someone who isn't followed by enough other people, maybe try One Direction? ;-)

  2. I.... O....

    True, I came here from Fast girls. Please, anyone listening to this amazing talent in 2019?

  3. J.... S....

    WOW WOW YOU ARE SUCH A LOVELY GUY.. LOVE YOU MATT

  4. S.... F....

    fabulous 10 out of 10

  5. Z.... C....

    I remember the chills I got when first listened to this in 2011 during a cold night. This song is full of such electric and passionate energy! Matt’s vocals are absolutely sublime and beautiful in this song especially with the chorus which sounds perfect. Man. The hook is so captivating and the video still gives me so many feels. It’s so thrilling!🔥This really should have been the first single for the Letters album. It would have done so much better if they had released the song sooner.

  6. A.... T....

    Great song and great movie fast girls

  7. B.... W....

    OH GOD I MISS LISTENING TO THIS!

  8. E.... J....

    Oh why oh why wasn't this his debut single? Rather than Run For Your Life. Had he performed this on X-Factor, he would have gone to number 1. Sigh

    E.... J....

    @Julia68yt Completely shit move on Syco's part. Run For Your Life was a poor, poor choice of debut single. He is doing great, but Syco's mismanagement dashed his opportunity to hit super stardom IMO

    E.... J....

    @Elliot Johnson I doubt that he wanted/wants super stardom. Every move he does is contrary to that assumption. He simply wants to further his progress as a musician.
    Exhibit A is this very case where he totally ditched SyCo, instead enthusiastically crawling and begging for more hyped stunts.
    Then there is the Ed Sheeran/Amazing copyright issue. He could have crowbarred his face into every tv show on the planet when the law suit hit (even tho it wasn't his) and fed off the madness. Instead he cut off all media outreach for the better part of 3 weeks EVEN THO he had just started his tour that very week. Usually he does all kinds of radio interviews while on tour for a bit of promo. He didn't even do those.

    E.... J....

    @Julia68yt I get that, but he deserves more recognition and X-Factor have more or less disowned him as a winner, despite him being incredibly talented. Shameful

    E.... J....

    ​@Elliot Johnson Sadly xf totally exposed themselves with basically exorcizing Matt from their history :( like if they're not the slightest bit proud of how far one of their winners has been able to make it off his own back after giving him his initial leg-up (and boot up his behind regarding stage confidence LOL). That's why they can f right off from here to eternity when it comes to my book, and I won't be sad about "losing" their hype-laden "help".
    Luckily what he does get tho is lots of organic recognition. The followers he picks up along the way via theatre and collabs are very unlikely to jump off at a whim of the ever-newest hype. It's very much easier and healtier to maintain, and keeps the focus on the music, too.

    E.... J....

    @Julia68yt Well said :)

  9. T.... W....

    super stimme

  10. L.... B....

    Que bella vos la Matt

  11. s.... ....

    Beat True Artist!! He is Amazing!!! Thank You for sharing, His CD Time To Be Alive One of the Best cd's from A to Z..

  12. S.... E....

    the best . i love your vice

  13. C.... K....

    Fast Girls woooh your music is awesome Matt Cardle

  14. M.... S....

    M.... S....

    Who likes it name please

  17. M.... Z....

    U ARE PERFECT THAN ANYONE EVER!!!

  18. M.... Z....

    UNBELIEVABLE VOICE!!! LOVE THIS GUY THOUSAND YEARs!!!

  19. p.... ....

    I remember screaming his name on X Factor at my TV, voting for him to win multiple times and posting on Facebook telling people to vote for him. He’s still such an icon to me and he always will be.

  20. N.... L....

    It would be better to make a video with actresses of Fast girls 😂 But I absolutely fall in love with this song, it's perfect

  21. E.... B....

    Jag börjar hitta Elias sound nu. Är det en ledtråd i det här spelet? Han har alltid en tanke med allt.

  22. P.... ....

    Discovered this while listening to the radio around the time it was released. One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard to this day and I’m so sad that Matt has never gotten the recognition he deserves. His voice is absolutely wonderful

    P.... ....

    Oh ye of little faith ;-) Matt just signed with Sony on his own terms and will retain control over his a&r. Recognition enough yet? :)

  23. s.... a....

    i still love this song matt you are awsome love your voice and your music <3 <3<3

  24. r.... t....

    This should have been the leading single from the album instead of run for your life. I think it would have made a huge difference. This album came out the same year as viva la vida by Coldplay, and blew it out of the water. His full touring band have serious chops and I wish he would return to the punchy, rock sound.

    r.... t....

    This WAS the leading single until SyCo stepped all over Columbia and everyone else to purposely push GB's promo piece for him taking over from SC that year. Busybodying fools. They just couldn't help themselves.
    But I guess you know that.

    r.... t....

    I dint know. Shame..I think it set a certain tone. Watched him play a nine minute version of Floyd's " comfortably numb " at Jimmy's Farm - including the full " delicate sound of thunder " end solo...seriously good..

    r.... t....

    Er oops. I thought you knew.
    Yeah, the single was all wrapped up and then SyCo pulled the plug. You can tell how much thought and effort went into its production just from the mere fact how little it has changed (if at all) from the album version in all the years Matt & band performed it live. Matt changed up pretty much every other song when it came to performing it live (just look at e.g. Letters), which means that Starlight was just the way he wanted it. No wonder he told their menagement to go f themselves over this.

    r.... t....

    Saw him and his full fat rock band perform this at High Wycombe a few years back. One of the best songs Ive heard by anybody live.Ever..

  25. D.... S....

    A new song everyday. Discover this song of the day in DAILY SONG (https://www.facebook.com/dailysongpage/)

  26. J.... C....

    Linda voz e linda cançao!

  27. j.... b....

    Best soundtrack -Fast girl.

  28. c.... a....

    Matt, I know this is an older song, but it is my all time favorite!!! The vocals, the melody, the production video....are by far the best of the best. Your voice is outstanding in this genre of music! Bravo!!! More like this, PLEASE!!!

    c.... a....

    cathy ann He just did his first live concert for 2017 at the Lowry N it was fantastic There's clips of that concert posted, songs from previous albums couple of outstanding covers N new material from his up N coming album 4 soon to be released Matt N Paul Bullen Dynamic Duo

    c.... a....

    Thanks for the info 😁

    c.... a....

    Joy Remana thx! wonder wHy he is not famous...he is one of the few guys I listen to

    c.... a....

    Which of the "famous" people do you listen to, and what are they famous for?
    Answer that question and you will find the reason why Matt chose to rather keep a tight control over his music and plattforms.

  29. s.... h....

    this and will young are the only artists who where good off  x factor type joke show . I hope he continues to make music , and not become that years show pony .

    s.... h....

    You are commenting on his very own Vevo channel. Why not check whether there are more recent videos and also read their info on who produced them and from which albums they've been taken? ;-)
    You could also simply try and put "matt cardle" as a search text, sort results by date and check out when was the last tiime Matt was making music.

  30. H.... A....

    Matt's songs always make me feel better whenever I feel down 💙

  31. E.... M....

    wow not bad 😊

  32. D.... W....

    A truly amazing voice. A great performer who sstayed true to himself.

  33. B.... R....

    Been a fan of Matts since his very first X-Factor audition and the only way is up. So talented, deserves so much more recognition for his soulful voice

    B.... R....

    I've been a fan of his from day one too!!! I love being em.... I'm so proud of em and how he's taken off... the x factor was hard but he was stead fast on making it though... and from there he just got back out there with everything he has in em... my dream would be to see em in person... but I know that won't be... it's an in possible dream... but I'll stay close to his music as long as possible... my fave is... When you were my girl... I love the moves in the video...

  34. A.... D....

    Fast Girls made me fall in love with this.

  35. K.... P....

    I Shazamed this from a girl who was watching the movie 'fast girls' on work love at first sight 🤔🤔🤔

  36. X.... S....

    Legend X Matt Cardle ill forver be your fan and love you and your music and talent

  37. M.... M....

    M for Magnificent
    A for Amazing
    T for Totally
    T for Talented
    Matt: Magnificent, Amazing and totally talented

    M.... M....

    Just wait til you've heard and seen "Lately" ;)

    M.... M....

    +Julia68yt
    I can't wait. what I don't understand that is why his name isn't written in gold across the sky. WHO ELSE HAS A VOICE LIKE VELVET? 💚💛💜💙💖

    M.... M....

    @Marina Bowler Well, go ahead. "Lately" is on this same vevo channel, too :)
    But it's almost like Matt makes a conscious effort to keep his name away from any hype.
    You found him on your own accord. Isn't that somehow much more satisfying than having someone pushed in your face?

  38. b.... ....

    Your just pissy over the fact Ed Sheeran is more Famous. I will admit both song sound severely vaguely similar but it'd be a long shot for you to go against true talent such as that of Ed Sheeran. His music is worth listening to, while yours sounds like your a decade late Matt.

    b.... ....

    This isn't even a related video, you knucklehead!
    Apart from that Matt isn't the one suing your famously loved Ed's pants right now. It's the actual originators of the melody. Matt had their permission to use it. Ed doesn't. So much for your informed status.

    b.... ....

    matt had nothing to do with ed being sued he said so on twitter, he even said he'd be honoured if ed song was similar to he's.

    It's he's record label that sued ed got nothing to do with Matt

  39. K.... H....

    first time I've heard this. after watching GMB lol I really like it.

  40. V.... B....

    This song makes me do a happy dance ☄

  41. Q.... T....

    I love your songs- and your voice relays the lyrics/message so starry! love it

  42. C.... A....

    2016 y sigo escuchando esta canción 🎧😉

  43. X.... S....

    i SWEAR THIS SONG NEVER GETS OLD I STILL LOVE IT VERY MUCH JUST AS I DID 3 YEARS AGO when i discovered it iw as picking up my little sister from school during the summer holidays back in 2013 still remember it

    +vet triampol, I agree whole hardheartedly......an AMAZING voice. Please head to the USA and do a tour!!!!!!!

  48. M.... P....

    One day, real, true talent like this will get the recognition it deserves!

  49. A.... S....

    Phenomenal Singer

  50. J.... C....

    Stop blocking his video's and all video's it is the world's largest gathering spot to not block any artist from sharing with the world!

    J.... C....

    +drhouse1100 That massively depends on the region from where you try and watch.
    I, for one, need a UK proxy or all I see is an error message :/

    J.... C....

    That's right!

    J.... C....

    Then leaving messages on Matt's videos isn't going to help is it. If you're blocked then complain to someone who can do something about it. I doubt that Matt or his management can do anything about an ongoing dispute between YouTube and a performance rights organization in Germany, or any other country.

    J.... C....

    +drhouse1100 Even whether artists can do something about it depends on the region :-/
    The royalty system in Germany, for one, is bat-sh*t f*ing crazy. GEMA automatically _assumes_ that they have the rights to act on behalf of _any_ artist. That's why they're giving yt all this trouble. Even if you, as the artist, upload your own song to your own channel on youtube, you will get blocked. You have to prove to _them_ that it is your property and that you own the rights. And then contact youtube to remove the block. It's an idiotic procedure for forgeign artists.
    Even more idiotic for german artists. Pretty much the only way for them is to quit GEMA and waive the right to receive royalties from them. And it gets more idiotic still. Once you did that, you will have trouble getting played on radio, pubs, stores etc because those places are basically required to pick music from GEMA's members list. Ok, just wanted to point that out. Ignore me ;-)

    J.... C....

    +Julia68yt Consider yourself ignored....unless you know if a new legal agreement had been reached thru the courts between the 2 named entities.

  51. h.... g....

    Fast girls

  52. R.... ....

    I'm glad he won X factor

  53. N.... M....

    que bueno

  54. S.... D....

    Found this beautiful singer while watching Fast Girls the movie. Incredible song.

  55. P.... V....

    love this man ;)

  56. K.... M....

    One of the best songs I've heard in years.

  57. J.... D....

    I found this great guy on Britain's go Talent. I don't who his manger is but he needs to get Matt in a plane and come to the United States. Then the whole world will know who he is. I have every album and I heard he is working on a new record coming out this year. So everybody buy it......he is a breath of fresh air. And, I'm a 56 year old women who loves ALL types of music. What he does is so amazing. And it's also refreshing to listen to music's that doesn't have profanity in it. He will get to the states and I can't wait for that....Matt..your dreams have come true !!!!

    J.... D....

    @Judy Dempsey Go on twitter and you'll find Matt's manager's contact on his profile (@mattcardle) Good luck luring them out of the UK ;-)

    J.... D....

    +Judy Dempsey Not on BGT, Judy, but he was on X Factor 2010.  Yes, he is amazing.  If he would come to the States for a tour, he would make a lot of dreams come true!

  58. M.... R....

    The melody is similar to that of Avril Lavigne's Alice and Wonderland song.

  59. M.... D....

    Hotel Marigold ^_^

  60. g.... ....

    awww was standing next to him this afternoon inside WASABI in Bond st. Station. cool guy ... handsome and listening to thi right now amazing voice. asked him for a pic...nice guy.

    g.... ....

    @ghie072 you're so lucky! matt has such amazing vocals (:

  61. A.... E....

    There is no justice. This man has the most beautiful voice. He can sing anything and yet we have to listen to dross and pap daily. Why??
    I still hope he will get the recognition he deserves.

    A.... E....

    @Arwen Evenstar It's not yet been ruled illegal to just turn off the radio. Do it ;-)

    A.... E....

    think the same as you, I can not understand how a man with such a beautiful voice and with so much talent does not have millions of followers. I hope there is justice and Matt will achieve the success that he undoubtedly deserves.

  62. M.... S....

    I use to always listen to this song, I'm going to get this on my phone now haha

  63. I.... M....

    Muchas felicidades, escucho tus canciones desde México. Saludos.

  64. J.... M....

    This song be going off

  65. T.... ....

    pourquoi ne l'entend t-on pas en france??? Matt a tout le talent et la présence!!!

    T.... ....

    @TheBengaro25 Tout à fait d'accord avec vous ! Incompréhensible ! Après avoir vu plusieurs vidéos et celle de son passage à X-Factor où il interprète "The First Time ever I saw your Face", j'ai acheté ces 3 albums et ils sont excellents !

  66. m.... ....

    I'm Brasilian. I discovered him and I'm enjoying his songs. All songs. His voice is amazing!!

  67. K.... B....

    Matt, you look like you're enjoying your talent.  Use it wisely and find God to become the man you should be. :)

  68. R.... D....

    Why isn't this on Spotify? ;/

    R.... D....

    It is, search for Matt Cardle Letters Album, good luck 😀

    R.... D....

    Search for his album Letters

    R.... D....

    @Ruben Daniel It is!! Enjoy

  69. P.... ....

    I discovered him through "Fast Girls," and the music was so perfect for the final scene. I love this song!!

    P.... ....

    @Pendragon indeed

  70. D.... U....

    he have an incedible voice why he's not famous !!!?

    D.... U....

    @Dip Up Matt wasn't after fame. Watch any of his x factor intros or interviews in general and all you'll ever hear him say is that he wants a break, getting his music out and making a living from it without having to do odd jobs for coughing up the money for studio time and production.That's exactly what he got. Even tho his winner's album went platinum within the first few weeks, he left syco's machine over differences regarding production and choice of singles. By now Matt has released 2 more albums independently which still charted Top10, writing and recording yet another album, due out later this summer.

  71. k.... ....

    Been a fan since his first audition. 

  72. e.... j....
