Has anyone mapped out which lyrics are left for Hank and John to use? Someone has to be keeping track on a page of lyrics somewhere, crossing out two lines a week. ...I guess I'll have this ready for John's post next week.
Hank, I thought John is the one who is supposed to do quiet existential videos and you are chaotic existential. I mean both make me question my place in the universe, but in different ways.
Tanvi Shah Yeah, I think it’s so remarkable that I’m willing to ignore *the fault in our Allstars.* (I don’t actually find any fault with it, I just really wanted to make that pun)
My rabbit just died on Wednesday and this really gave me some much needed peace. My city has too much light pollution to see many stars so I haven't seen a shooting star in a while and I forgot how calm it makes me to feel so small. Such a tiny part of larger chaos. Thank you ❤️ Also super freaking excited for your book!!! 🎉
@@docnevyn5814 Restrictions on movement have mostly been lifted around much of the world, especially if you're going to be on your own the whole time. There are plenty of backstreets to look at. That said, I think that one might end up being strictly metaphorical. "They say it gets colder" might be a while away yet. Either it is on this Tuesday, as the first video after the summer equinox; or it is going to be one of the last, trying to get late enough to be published when it actually does start getting colder. Or it might be a metaphor again.
Alternating between all-sky shots and shots that include the corner of a building or just the earth's horizon line started causing me to cry. Looking at just the sky, I'm full of awe and wonder. As soon as I see a reminder of the world, my mind filled with the phrase "We are here, now." I'm sure you couldn't have known this would be an effect of your video, but thank you for it anyway.
I godblessin love these videos. When hank and john create thoughtful, beautiful videos about appreciating things in abstract beauty and analyze life alongside the subject, I lose my mind
This is my favorite video you’ve ever made. I study astronomy, and I just submitted my first “first-author” paper about exactly this subject :) studying what the smallest meteors are made of by looking at the “glow” that they make in the atmosphere.
Hank and John constantly blow me away with their capacity for quiet wonder and philosophical reflexion on life, time, space, and what lies beyond... While being absolute memelords ❤️ love you weirdos and do not ever change ✨
There's something quintessentially exciting about a shooting star. They're both science and magic, a symbol of the vastness of space and something to wish on. When I see one it just seems to pull the stress from me and replace it with a spark of joy. Even the little ones.
My friends and I used to go out of our neighborhood to the top of a hill to escape the light pollution of our cul de sac. We got to watch at least a few shows like this one every time. It amazes me just as much now what a wondrous universe we share!
Its kind of nice that we spend all that time staring at tiny bits of space barely the size of a grain of sand and that we dream and hope and wish at the sight of them.
I don’t know how the two of you can come up with such unique, interesting things to talk about and do it so well! Love this channel and Crash course has salvaged my academic interests many times! Thank you both 🙏
Possibly one of my favorite videos! My thoughts get lost when I gaze into space, and in return some of my best ideas and imaginings are born. Thank you Hank!
I can hear the fatherhood in his voice and my heart is warmed. I've heard that transition before with my brother. He has a son now and sometimes I can hear the dadness in there.
I mean, technically the entire moon is just a rock from the earth that was flung into space by a collision (as far as we know), so all samples from the moon are just Earth rocks returning. But I assume you mean this particular rock got to the moon from Earth well after the moon itself got out there.
I cried the day my science teacher brought shooting stars to class. By that I mean, I cried later that night in my bed when I was alone. This teacher had promised to bring us asteroids. The class just shrugged it off because we assumed it was impossible. What the Teacher brought back was a glass dish with tiny little rocks in it. This was a long time ago, I was in high school, so I don't know how true this might be. She told us that she had left a large dish out on her roof for weeks. And then carefully combed through each little piece of dust on her plate using a microscope. She only kept the ones that had literally fallen from the sky. According to her, theese tiny little pieces of space dust were the crumbs of disintegrated shooting stars or pieces of space rock too small to leave a luminous trail. Honestly, I don't know of this was true, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that I believed her. I belived her when she told a class room full of impressionable high school kids that each and every one of us had iron in our blood and that iron came form dying stars. I believed her when she said that shooting stars travel thousands of miles, even lightyears across the galaxy to end up here, to cross our gaze for a fraction of a second and to be wished upon. Most importantly I belived her when she said that we were just like shooting stars; we only exist for a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things, but we can leave a trail of shining light, we can inspire, make our dreams and wishes come true, make a difference in eachother's lives. That's why I cried the day the teacher brought shooting stars to class. Ps: Thanks Hank. You reminded me of that. I really needed it. Pps: Merci Emilie, pour m'avoir encouragée à être curieuse!
This is exactly the peace I need right now. I'm saving this video. Probably downloading it too in case I ever have bad service and feel as crummy as I have felt the last few months. It's all been weighing on me, and I finally felt all of the overwhelming crash down on me yesterday. The vastness of stars always calm my mind. Thank you so much for this beautiful video.
The quiet delivery akin to your narration of Microcosmos was just what I needed today. Please do more like this, we need calm spaces in these frenetic times.
I made a wish on a star a while ago, it recently came true. Always have faith in your dreams, there is always a chance that they will come true. Anything is possible. Never stop hoping.
"just another little beauty for us to be grateful for" I didn't think this line would mean so much but it's oddly soothing when everything in our world feels like we're the meteorite burning up in some atmosphere. Thank you for giving me some time to breathe
Watching all these stars made me think of Calcifer from, Howl's Moving Castle, and the little star that would rather die than be caught. Yeah, I'm in a kind of melancholy mood.
Hank.. a few months ago (feels like a thousand years) I went on a camping trip with my family and went stargazing with my son. We can't see the stars at all in the city where I live because of light pollution so I just wanted to look at the sky with him. To both of our delights we got to see his first shooting star... And his second...and third.... It was magic. Thanks for your video that reminded me of it.
Hank: "Apollo 14 seems to have brought back a rock from the moon which seems to have originated from earth..." Moon landing conspiracy theorists: * heavy breathing *
When I was a kid my grandma who lives in the countryside in Croatia would take us outside in the night around August 10 and we would lay on grass and watch the comet rain (we called them tears of Saint Lawrence). I miss the stars here in a big city...
I remember seeing my first shooting star when I was 11 or 12. Just caught a glimpse of it through my window and through all the light pollution. I stood at my window for another 20 odd minutes waiting for another one. Although I didn't see another one that night, it sowed the seed of curiosity. Now, I've graduated with a physics & astronomy degree and can quickly find the best time of observe the night sky. As Bob McDonald would always say, "Keep your heads up"
it really blows my mind how much STUFF is flying around out there, but also how much emptiness there is. (also i am so excited for the new book, hank! ive had it preordered for ages!!!)
It's almost midnight here. Earlier I stopped playing my music to do something I very rarely do at night - I went out on the balcony. I was going to stay outside for only a few minutes before bed. To my surprise I noticed the tiniest shooting star and it instantly reminded me of this video. I can't remember the last time I saw one. It was such a pleasant surprise. I'll be wondering how old that rock was until I fall asleep.
Honestly the Smash Mouth lyric titles have created more consistency in my life than anything else at this moment.
Or, you could say, that the rest of your life is very consistent in it's inconsistency? Anyway, I hope it will be better soon

It feels like I watched Thoughts From Places: The Sky
I feel like it's more "Thoughts About Places"
you have a great point
Hank, I thought John is the one who is supposed to do quiet existential videos and you are chaotic existential. I mean both make me question my place in the universe, but in different ways.
Check out Journey to the Microcosmos for more quiet Hank.
Wow. Quiet existential and Chaotic existential is the best description of their duo dynamic

"I just wanted to look at some shooting stars today"
I didn't know I wanted it but turned out I needed it. Thanks Hank

I feel the exact same. Watching random tv show and they were watching a meteor shower. I dropped everything and thought....UA-cam!
This Allstar title thing is a beautifully foolish endeavor.
Though beautifuly foolish, I find it to be an absolutely remarkable thing aswell

Hank's serious podcast voice is great
Ooh. Someone’s gotta do Break the Mold. I feel like that ones got a lot of potential.
I hope it’s about mold
I hope it’s about groundbreaking people.
I hope it’s about resin art
Laurel K - Maybe groundbreaking people DOING resin art?
Hank sounds a little bit like John does when he's reading his Anthropocene Review essays. I'm a fan.
John did a video similar to this a year or so ago and I love them both
It’s similar to how he talks in Journey to the Microcosmos

Aaaaaargh! That 'John!' at the end came pretty unexpectantly after getting all soothed by ASMR Hank
MY BAD!
And made the video definitely *not* "only shooting stars".
Journey to the Microcosmos is made of the the ASMR Hank voice
that Microcosmos voice 💯💯 Happy Juneteenth everyone!!
Shooting stars are one of those things that it doesn't matter how many I've seen before, they always make me happy every time I see one.
My rabbit just died on Wednesday and this really gave me some much needed peace. My city has too much light pollution to see many stars so I haven't seen a shooting star in a while and I forgot how calm it makes me to feel so small. Such a tiny part of larger chaos. Thank you ❤️
Also super freaking excited for your book!!! 🎉
@Erik Hetler thank you ❤️
I'm so sorry that your heart is breaking! 😥 Peace to you! 💔 💖
My thoughts are with you. Losing a furry friend is one of the more horrible things one can go through. ::hugs::
My dog passed away this morning, and this was the first thing since to make me feel calm and centred. Thank you
This is one of the few channels where I instantly click the notification. DFTBA y'all.
Current events have me forgetting TBA more often than not. But I think I will be awesome today. :-)
I'm excited for "taking the backstreets" and "they say it gets colder." I assume these will be john videos hahaha
"taking the backstreets" could be a thoughts from places....remembers COVID 19, sigh! only John's Backyard

should we start placing bets on who is going to use which lines?

I'm sure you couldn't have known this would be an effect of your video, but thank you for it anyway.
Hank calmly narrating over beautiful science images makes me feel so overwhelmingly peaceful
Hank ASMR talking of shooting stars and the universe, with visuals, is nerd therapy

Thank you Hank and John for your inspiration. It's been lovely during the pandemic and of course...long before that, and probably long after too.
This reminded me of John’s video Civil Twilight from a while ago. I think I just like when you two talk about the sky.
I found this so peaceful and soothing, thank you!
Hank and John constantly blow me away with their capacity for quiet wonder and philosophical reflexion on life, time, space, and what lies beyond... While being absolute memelords ❤️ love you weirdos and do not ever change ✨
Whimsy, intellect, inquiry and story telling...
Thank you both for keeping that spark burning for us.
All the best for the book launch!

Only shooting stars break the mold.
Hank your excitement and enthusiasm is always so contagious! I'm so happy for you! Can't wait to read the new book!
It was really nice listening to Hank talking about shooting stars. Beautiful and thought-provoking.
I love you two. Y’all make my day.
Imma let you finish, but Hank has one of the best voices of all time...OF ALL TIME!
“Whee! I’ve finally escaped Earth! Wait, what’s going on?” - that rock Apollo 14 brought back
they were trying to collect it and it was holding on to the moon
There's something quintessentially exciting about a shooting star. They're both science and magic, a symbol of the vastness of space and something to wish on. When I see one it just seems to pull the stress from me and replace it with a spark of joy. Even the little ones.
This was a level of serenity I don't have in my own life at the moment it definitely made my universe a little brighter.
This is the calmest 3 minutes and 58 seconds I’ve had all week thank you hank

I'm starting a remote interview for a job that would change my life in ten minutes. This helped me recenter and calm myself. Thanks, Hank
It went well! Hopefully I'll hear back next week
I wish all good things for you, and that you’ll hear good news ASAP. :) I’m glad it went well.
yooo can you get me a interview as well, I wouldn't mind changing my life in a mere ten minutes
Possibly one of my favorite videos! My thoughts get lost when I gaze into space, and in return some of my best ideas and imaginings are born. Thank you Hank!

I'm watching this at 2am in the midst of a depressive episode. I think I can go to sleep now. Thanks Hank
hope you feel better in the morning :)
I love when Hank talks about space, those videos are always so calm!
This felt longer than 4 minutes, in a good way :)

Hank, thanks for some calm and brightness. I never thought your videos could be so soothing and interesting, thanks for everything
Loving how somebody's making recordings of the sky just for it's own sake, and we're lucky enough to live in a time where everyone can watch them.
This has a strong journey to the microcosmos vibe to it, but it’s actually more of a “journey to the macrocosmos”
I dont know why but Hank's voice in this video makes me want to cry and i cant even describe why I'm feeling that way
I'm desperately gonna need a playlist with these videos in song lyric order
Hank: "Apollo 14 seems to have brought back a rock from the moon which seems to have originated from earth..."

Thank you and THE BOOK IS BEAUTIFUL I CANNOT WAIT TO READ IT
i listened to this while sitting in a hammock at night while looking up at the stars in rural new mexico and it made me really happy :)
These clips remind me of watching the Perseids every summer with my cousin when we were younger. Thanks for rekindling those memories, Hank.
When I was a kid my grandma who lives in the countryside in Croatia would take us outside in the night around August 10 and we would lay on grass and watch the comet rain (we called them tears of Saint Lawrence). I miss the stars here in a big city...
i love this so much
Not sure why this made me cry, yet here I am. Thank you, Hank
I love that at 1:44 Hank actually adopts the rhythm of the words "shooting stars" as sung in smash mouths Allstar, this happens to me so much
This is one of the most soothing things I’ve ever watched/listened to
This was lovely! Also, I'm coming to the UA-cam book event and the one with Ashley C. Ford! Can't wait!

I stood at my window for another 20 odd minutes waiting for another one. Although I didn't see another one that night, it sowed the seed of curiosity. Now, I've graduated with a physics & astronomy degree and can quickly find the best time of observe the night sky.
As Bob McDonald would always say, "Keep your heads up"
Still living for these All Star titles!
For some reason, imagining the shared document of All Star lyrics that John and Hank are slowly crossing lines out of makes me very happy.
I seriously thought Hank was about to give shooting stars a 5 Star Review. @vlogbrothers John, you should take it.
it really blows my mind how much STUFF is flying around out there, but also how much emptiness there is.
(also i am so excited for the new book, hank! ive had it preordered for ages!!!)

This was beautiful. The pictures of the stars were great.
Hank is in Journey to the Microcosmos narration mode today. Thanks Hank! An enjoyable and soothing video.
I had turned off the lights on my room and turned up my screen brightness to see the stars better, and I was BLINDED at 3:13 by Hank😂😂
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Hank, as always!! Can't wait to get part 2 of the 🤖 So much nervous anticipation! Best of luck with the launch 🙅🖖💖
Recently because of John I have started looking for things to be grateful for and today because of Hank I and greatful for Stars.
The best thing about being on furlough has been getting to watch these videos right after they're uploaded
I'm 'bout to cry but also like, that voice? maaaan
