1. Stars is a Canadian indie pop band signed to the Arts & Crafts label. Originally formed in Toronto in 1998 by vocalist Torquil Campbell and keyboardist Chris Seligman, the band relocated to New York City and then subsequently to Montreal. The band also includes singer-guitarist Amy Millan and bassist Evan Cranley. Drummer Pat McGee has toured with the band for years, despite not appearing on their albums until the release of Set Yourself On Fire.
The band’s breakthrough single was Ageless Beauty, from their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire. While released to minimal fanfare in Canada in October of 2004, Set Yourself on Fire slowly gained a strong following and critical praise soon after its 8 March 2005 U.S. release.
Millan, Campbell and Cranley are also members of the indie band Broken Social Scene; Seligman, although uncredited, has contributed to past Broken Social Scene albums. Millan has since embarked on a solo career, releasing a record entitled Honey From the Tombs in July 2006. Campbell has a side-project with friend Chris Dumont entitled Memphis; their latest album, A Little Place In the Wilderness, was released in August 2006.
On their website, they have noted that their name was chosen, by coincidence, without prior knowledge of the short-lived project by Syd Barrett. They have cited a wide variety of musical likes and influences ranging from Berlioz to Outkast, citing among others Barrett, Paddy McAloon, New Order, The Smiths, Brian Wilson and Momus. They covered The Smiths’ This Charming Man on 2001’s Nightsongs and The Pogues’ Fairytale of New York in 2005. Other indie artists have been guest collaborators on many of their tracks, especially for an early period including the release of their first LP.
2. The Stars is a Japanese psychedelic rock band. It consists of ex-members of the legendary band White Heaven including Michio Kurihara (Ghost, Boris, Ai Aso) on guitar and You Ishihara on vocals. For more information see The Stars.
3. Stars, a short-lived British band in 1972. Its members were Syd Barrett on guitar, Twink on drums, and Jack Monck (of Delivery) on bass. They played three live concerts in Cambridge before Barrett left the group, thus (essentially) ending it. Shortly thereafter Syd Barrett left music altogether and began a life in seclusion, and this project is sometimes seen as the so called 'straw that broke the camel's back'. Recordings of their performances remain lost, though it has been attested that all three performances contained early Pink Floyd songs and different versions of tracks from Barrett's 1970 solo album The Madcap Laughs. It has also been stated in multiple accounts that in each show Barrett entered one of his somewhat trademark catatonic trances, the worst coming in their second concert, where Barrett became almost completely frozen and had to be carried off stage. This was not unusual, having happened many times while Syd was still a member of Pink Floyd.
According to Twink, the band ended when Barrett approached him in the street, carrying a scathing review of their third concert. He waved the paper in Twink's face and said, essentially, "That's it."
4. Stars, an Australian country rock band from the late 1970s, most noted for the songs 'Mighty Rock' and 'Look After Yourself'. The band's main songwriter, Andy Durant, died tragically from cancer at age 25, marking the demise of the band. Fellow band members and many other luminaries in the Australian music scene at the time including Jimmy Barnes and Renee Geyer played a memorial concert, the Andy Durant Memorial Concert, to raise money for cancer research in mid-1980.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I’m scared ‘cause I don’t know how you feel
About me but I like you a lot
I guess a crush is fun ‘til it’s not
But I just can’t keep on leading myself on
‘Cause living like this isn’t living at all
Afraid to fall
But I don’t want to know how it feels if you say no
Without the stress
It’s just easier to leave it as a crush
Before I go and start doing too much
Easier to leave it as a crush
Nothing at all is good enough
A crush can’t break your heart
Because a crush is a crush right from the start
A crush can’t make you cry
Because a crush is a crush no matter the guy
Easier to leave it as a crush
Just a crush
The truth is I don’t know what you’re like
You could be mean or you could be super nice
To be honest, not knowing is fine
Don’t wanna ruin this picture in my mind
But I just can’t keep on leading myself on
‘Cause living like this isn’t living at all
Afraid to fall
But I don’t want to know how it feels if you say no
‘Cause in my head you always say yes
Without the stress
It’s just easier to leave it as a crush (A crush, a crush)
Before I go and start doing too much (Too much, too much)
Easier to leave it as a crush (A crush, a crush)
Nothing at all is good enough
A crush can’t break your heart (No, no, no, no)
Because a crush is a crush right from the start
A crush can’t make you cry (No, no, no, no)
Because a crush is a crush no matter the guy
Easier to leave it as a crush
Just a crush
‘Cause when it’s a crush, crush, crush
I get such a rush, rush, rush
I’ll never get crushed, crushed, crushed
If it’s just a crush, crush, crush
‘Cause when it’s a crush, crush, crush
I get such a rush, rush, rush
I’ll never get crushed, crushed, crushed
If it’s just a crush

Hahahaha
Easier to leave it as a crush
Before I go and start doing too much (Too much)
Easier to leave it as a crush (A crush, a crush)
Nothing at all is good enough
A crush can’t break your heart (‘Cause when it’s a crush)
Because a crush is a crush right from the start (I get such a rush)
A crush can’t make you cry (I’ll never get crushed)
Because a crush is a crush no matter the guy (If it’s just a crush)
Easier to leave it as a crush
Just a crush
The song Crush by Stars is about the feeling of having an unrequited crush on someone. The lyrics describe the fear and uncertainty of confessing feelings to someone, and the comfort of keeping those feelings as a fictionalized ideal in your head. The singer acknowledges that a crush can never truly break your heart since it is just that – a crush, harmless and fleeting. While in this state of limbo, however, the singer feels stuck and unable to move on, afraid to know how the other person feels and too attached to the idea of a perfect crush to give it up.
Throughout the song, Stars use repetition to emphasize the key message that keeping a crush can feel easier than asking someone out and risking rejection. The chorus hammers this home, with the repeated refrain of “easier to leave it as a crush” serving as a reminder that sometimes inaction can feel safer than taking risks. The use of the term “rush” in the hook suggests that the singer enjoys the feeling of having a crush but is too afraid to push it any further. In the end, the song ends on a comical note, as the singer almost reveals their feelings but opts to laugh instead.

@Winny Mc ahem to the tune of For He's A Jolly Good Fellow - For that of which you surely are not
For hes a salty commentor
For hes a salty commentor
For hes a salty commentoooooooooor
Who thinks hes better than us
But seriously dude, they only pointed out that O.P didn't mention Jack's response, which wasn't needed due to O.P's only pointing out the cheekiness/flirtatiousness of Jennifer Lawrence. Which was then added to by pointing out that Jack did in fact seem to come over just to meet Jennifer.
All in all it was a nice concise funny thread that you ultimately ruined with ya unnecessary comment.
And to answer the questions obviously going through your head (sarcasm im just bored). Yes I'm having way too much fun doing this, Yes I do in fact hate myself and No, I have literally nothing else to do at this second sooooo unfortunately, you're the unlucky winner today.

EndMySuffering420
Chris Smith that’s not what I mean, just that they always seem indifferent to us “regular” people, as they’re always in the spotlight. The fact that they also have crushes just reminds me that they’re just regular people as well.
Chris Smith
