City of Stars
Ryan Gosling & 艾玛·斯通 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see
Who knows?
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you
But now our dreams
May finally come true
City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
Oh love
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
A rush
A glance
A touch
A dance
A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright
I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart
City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
And through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
Oh love
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
A glance
A dance
Look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send it reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright
I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart
City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
You've never shined so brightly
The song "City of Stars" from the movie La La Land is a romantic ballad that tells a story of two struggling artists who find love while pursuing their dreams in Hollywood. The lyrics reflect the wishful thinking of the two protagonists, Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, and their desire to make it big in the city of stars. The opening lines, "City of stars, are you shining just for me?" indicate the hopeful attitude of the characters and their belief that the universe is on their side.
The second verse suggests that the singers have been together for some time and have shared a special connection. They have dreams, which may finally come true, and they are confident that their love will endure whatever comes their way. However, they are also aware that love is not easy to find and that everyone in the city is looking for it. The lyrics emphasize the longing for human connection and the search for meaning in life.
The chorus serves as a reminder that amidst all the chaos and noise of the city, what everyone truly desires is a genuine connection with someone else. The song talks about the simplicity of love and how it doesn't require much to feel alive. "A glance, a touch, a dance" is all that is needed to light up the skies and send the world reeling. The song is a poignant ode to the city of Los Angeles and the many dreamers who come there in search of love and fame.

Sorry to hear all the sad stories. My girlfriend and I watched this movie together online while we were 8500 miles away from each other back in 2016. We kept our belief and hope through long distance relationships. Magically, we made it out to our wedding after 4 years falling in love. Now, she is my spouse and mother of my son. We still got a special feeling for this song. Hope you are all strong believers!
