Gawd she is just amazing! Been obsessed since Graham Norton show. Confused she isn’t waaaay more popular already. So many epic songs from the new album and the one before.
@@snstreet really hoping she comes to New Zealand someday soon!! Well done for seeing her live. Just listened to her on the Annie Mac podcast Changes. Totally worth a listen
@@slonmish Yeah, sorry mate, UA-cam keeps deleting my attempts to answer your question for some reason. It’s essentially a reference to someone who identifies as Catholic but who doesn’t take the dogma too seriously.
@@slonmish Strange as it might sound in Ireland it's very common to hire a bouncy castle for your kid's communion (the Catholic sacrament most Irish do when they're about 8 years old). So Ciara is saying a bouncy castle Catholic is one that wants the parties and celebrations of Catholicism but not the serious spiritual stuff.
I’ve had this tune on since I first heard it on repeat, it’s just got something about it, Her voice is insane how she can sing that effortlessly. Absolutely class!
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it.
Just love her. So happy for her Brit nomination even though it’s such a tough category it’s a great nod. Would love to see her win it, love her genuinity and freshness!
I am here because Elton John showed her on his fb 🤕1. He has no taste. 2. I don't understand what people are singing. This is not music, this is not a song. This is a vocal presentation workshop.
@@hotbeefymcd8162 First, tell me how much you pay Elton John. I have a very good talentless young gay person here who wants to make a career as a musician

Same for me. Thanks to the Graham Norton show. She's extremely talented
People don’t listen to or appreciate real music anymore unfortunately!
Same here... After her Graham Norton performance I looked it up if she came to Amsterdam. She did. I went. Best concert. So talented!

@@wawahweewahSaw her play in Brussels a few months ago, fantastic live performer, great rapport with the crowd.
“Bouncy Castle Catholic” is such a great line, and probably one that only Irish people have an inkling about.
could you explain it to us, non-Irish people?

@@TheLastAngryMan01 Yeah right bro🤣🤣
i will genuinely never be able to comprehend this level of talent like wow oh my what a performance
"They're gonna do it with a Coen brother, set it in Wicklow with your mother!" Love it

She's an amazing lyricist, cheeky, fun and just a joy - every performance is crazy good

Insanely good ❤
No words 🙌❤️❤️❤️
Stunning
Whatt an amazing voice she has hard to beat irish tallent
i love you ❤️
She is so cool my god 😻😻😻😻😻😻
Generational talent
Yes you are brilliant, I would love to know did the melody or the lyrics come first...
1/ I'm digging all the red tartan on this stage!
2/ Love the singer! I'm getting equal parts Kate Bush and Jack Black! Unbeatable combination!!!
This is why The Harp is on Ireland's National Flag. Musical Heaven.
Er... it's not? 😂
Only bad thing about this is that for some reason I now have Hayley Westenra coming up on my recommendations.
she's like if kate bush had tiktok
I prefer CBAT
she`s a bit special
oreo was still stuck on her teeth
What a horrible thing. All those rihannas and beyoncés at least have their looks going for them. Now how I make UA-cam forget this?

Go have a lie down dear

Gifted woman, amazing band.
Lyrics
A new game scrapping my life
It was you out back with a butter knife
Who took my parts, buried them with the dog
Not great, but what did I think
That a bouncy castle Catholic could give to me
But a little wine and God?
So I'm working on a wreckage
With nothing there to salvage
Oh, I'm just taking photos
For my book about the damage and
Some have called me cheap
But it's not that fucking deep
Like, what's left for me but poetry
And getting really old?
I'm heading to California
Don't say I didn't warn you
I'm milking what I can from this grief (grief, grief, grief, grief)
I'm heading to California
Don't say I didn't warn you
I'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave
A cold call to get me out
Of your big boys' starving artist's house
But you drove me there and opened up the doors
Now I trade in English, dear
My nanny's, nanny's, nanny's fears
Are living here along with all of yours, oh, yeah
Whinging like a woman is
Hedging on what's coming
'Cause everybody likes me
When my pain is in a sonnet
And you have call me cheap
But you did this shit to me
Made me brilliant, you fucked me up
And I'm reaping what you've sown
I'm heading to California
Don't say I didn't warn you
I'm milking what I can from this grief (grief, grief, grief, grief)
I'm heading to California
Don't say I didn't warn you
I'm writing for the peace you wouldn't leave
I'm heading to California
Don't say I didn't warn you
I'm finishing the hat like we agreed
We're heading to California
I wonder, is it torture
Harvesting all this misery?
California, oh, whoa
California, oh, whoa
California, oh, whoa (I'm writing up a book about us)
California, oh, whoa (they're gonna make a movie of it)
California, oh, whoa (they're gonna cast Jake Gyllenhaal)
California, oh, whoa (and I'm Kristen Schaal)
California, oh, whoa (they're gonna do it with a Coen brother)
California, oh, whoa (set it in Wicklow with your mother)
California, oh, whoa (oh, no, it won a Razzie)
California, oh (it's all for nothing, should've just tried being happy)
