I love how the whole song is playing with two, maybe contradicting, sides. Career vs family, chasing dreams vs safety of comfort. Duncan’s singing about the coasts of gentle small town Hellevoetsluis vs those of the big city of LA. He sings of home, but what is home? The bridge, “There’s no place like home here in Hollywood” is almost contradiction in itself, as you can read it twice: “There’s no place like home: Here in Hollywood”, meaning that he sees Hollywood as his home, or you see it the other way around, “There’s no place like home (Hellevoetsluis/Amsterdam/the Netherlands) here in Hollywood”, where he means that there’s no place in Hollywood that even remotely feels like home. And it echoes from the first verse, where he asks himself “if this is home, what do I call where I came from?” Both are home, but different, and what feels more really like home?
Also « stars » can refer to the ones in the sky he could see in his hometown and to the « stars » of Hollywood = famous people, supported by the verse « knowing that they are not real » at the end of the song.
"But still I find myself" ”Reaching for them" "Fighting for them" "Dying for them" "Still, there are no stars in the hills" So yah, that's my fav lyrics ")
my favourite lyrics are: “Miss dad and mom” “And laughing with my little brothers” “They’re the ones who keep me humble” “But I’m not there, to see them growing up”
This song is literally my life.. sitting here in LA after 10 years wondering what my life would have been life if I had stayed in my home town. Gives me an anxiety attack and makes me cry, but I can't stop listening.
The most underrated singer I have ever seen. I found him while searching for arcade and now there's not a single day I can be without listening anyone of his songs. You are nailing it man! Just keep growing and moving forward . You will reach the height for what you are destined . Love from india 🇮🇳🇮🇳
I found you from Dan's channel and dan is my fav for music ,and you are my fav for songs I am indian girl and I salute you and other artists of music and songs the songs and music is my heaven
This is just one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. That’s it. It just transports you into a different world where you remind yourself of your childhood and best memories in life, just incredibly amazing.
The measure of a great Eurovision winner is if they could win it the following year with their interval act. Duncan could have won it twice, with Someone Else and this. Absolutely beautiful song
@@emipostoli1040 "Love Don't Hate It" is my mostest, bestest favorite song. Especially the live version on top of Capitol Records. That smile at the end will melt your heart! 💘
If this is home Then what do I call where I came from? I haven't seen the coast for so long They got 'em here, but they're not the same I never know Know if I left too soon and too young The people there who taught me so much Did they get old? Would they know this face? Oh, it would have been selfless if I stayed Oh, but I'm living here selfish in LA There are no stars in The Hills But still I find myself reaching for them Fighting for thеm Dying for them Still, there arе no stars in The Hills Miss dad and mom And laughing with my little brothers They're the ones who keep me humble I'm not there to see them growing up Oh, it would have been selfless if I stayed Oh, but I'm living here selfish in LA There are no stars in The Hills But still I find myself reaching for them Fighting for them Dying for them Still, there are no stars in The Hills No place like home here in Hollywood No place like home here in Hollywood No place like home here in Hollywood There are no stars in The Hills But still I find myself reaching for them Fighting for them Dying for them Knowing they're not real There are no stars in The Hills
what an amazing play on words - how stars refer to both stars in the sky as well as hollywood stars. & hills possibly referring to beverley hills where many celebrities live. wow.
I relate so much to this song. I guess many of us share the same story of living far away from our family, leaving them too young and too soon, that we don’t even realize our brother/sister has grown up so fast. And miss dad and mom. And the coast. The lyrics literally tells my story. Can’t wait to see you singing live in Warsaw 2022♥️
I know. I don't think I never related to a song this much. songs about heartbreak are good and can be relatable but they don't hit this close to home. it's a pity that Duncan Laurence is so underrated. I'm sure if this song got more popular it'd resonate with soooo many people out there.
I remember when this first came out.... I was listening it on repeat on Spotify in my headphones on my way to Denver ( eliches ) with my whole family... I learned the lyrics in 3 days :)

The Best song ever
clearly makes me cry...
This voice sounds from paradise.
If this is home
Then what do I call where I came from?
I haven't seen the coast for so long
They got 'em here, but they're not the same
I never know
Know if I left too soon and too young
The people there who taught me so much
Did they get old?
Would they know this face?
Oh, it would have been selfless if I stayed
Oh, but I'm living here selfish in LA
There are no stars in The Hills
But still I find myself reaching for them
Fighting for thеm
Dying for them
Still, there arе no stars in The Hills
Miss dad and mom
And laughing with my little brothers
They're the ones who keep me humble
I'm not there to see them growing up
Oh, it would have been selfless if I stayed
Oh, but I'm living here selfish in LA
There are no stars in The Hills
But still I find myself reaching for them
Fighting for them
Dying for them
Still, there are no stars in The Hills
No place like home here in Hollywood
No place like home here in Hollywood
No place like home here in Hollywood
There are no stars in The Hills
But still I find myself reaching for them
Fighting for them
Dying for them
Knowing they're not real
There are no stars in The Hills
it’s not really that useful when you are on a LYRIC VIDEO..
