I swear this song saved my life as a teenager. The dream of something great waiting for me that would never come if I ended everything. Stay strong, something or someone is waiting for you. Keep going.
This is a message for everyone: Please don't keep something that is no longer yours, even if it once was. Someone else may need it more than you can possibly understand.
Gemma Pettersen The first man didn't love/need her, he only wanted her because she was beautiful and apparently a good singer so he locked her away and kept her to himself. The second boy was her soul mate and, had the first man not hidden her away driven her to suicide, they could have been together. If the first man had let her go when the time was right, she wouldn't have died and the other boy wouldn't have been so heart broken.
I love this song because it shows how being controlling and trust issues can really destroy someone. And it shows that you can't hold onto someone because of selfishness. Someone else is waiting for their love.
This message is a call for hope and for HER. I went to the Daughter Concert in Luxembourg with a friend on the Saturday 17/11/2013. While the concert was playing, I noticed a girl who was on my right, she was looking at me for about 30 seconds without keeping her eyes off me, I looked her quickly but I did not dare look at her any other time. The reason why I'm writing this right now is that something made me feel extremly strange, though I could'nt catch it during the concert; Yet when I went back home, as I lied on my bed, I sudenly remembered that I've already seen that girl, I'm pretty sure, It was 10 years ago as we were kids, she loved me but I was to shy to even express how I felt for her there. I'm now an 18 year old boy and today I'm just torn appart for having been so shy again and let the chance run away. Don't you feel sometimes like life's mocking you and reapiting things over and over again until you find the key to solve the problem? UA-cam is maybe the last chance that I have to find her, or we will never even have a talk, we will just forget and begin another thing, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, until I have a chance, until we have one, I will not let it fall down. That's what I remember concerning herself She is tall, with brown and long curly hairs, she was standing on the right close to the stage, I was on the middle a bit behind her. If you know her, of if you ARE her, contact me on my youtube message, let me know you've seen that...if you can remember I had short-medium lenght brown hairs and blue eyes, I weared a dark blue jeans and a light colored pullover. Thanks for your attention, I wish you love and all the good things the world has, Daughter is a good start, that's the right way!:) Bye
Did you find her? Because I exactly now what you mean, I am searching for someone too.. But its a while ago since you posted it .. Maybe you forgot it all
"No copyright intended, I couldn't find this song on youtube so after over an hour of searching online, I found it and decided to share it with everyone else who maybe looking for it.". I can't thank you enough. Bless you
OK people calm down. Whether or not it is her, does it really matter that much? Why is it that we are so obsessed with celebrities and labels and all that. Both Elena Tonra, and the girl who sings this ( if it is not Elena Tonra since I guess there is no proof) have amazing voices and talent and correct me if I'm wrong but you listen to music for that reason don't you? Just enjoy the damn beauty in the music and stop fighting.
"She wore white when he wore black and they were like a perfect match, And though one was dead and one was alive Through many years, their love did survive" Wow, describes my situation to a T, my soul mate died 3 years ago, he was 19, and I miss him everyday and even though I can't see him or hear him, I will always love him. We really were the perfect match and we always will be, just in different worlds.
One day there was a girl who cried tears of pearls and her eyes were blue and green like none I've ever seen And she met a man that night who filled her with delight and he spoke in poetry and rhyme and she loved him in no time But he changed and then soon he became jealous of her beauty and fame And he locked her away and he forced her to play songs that were blue, songs that were grey Yeah, yeah So then this lonely girl had, had enough of her world so she climbed to the top of the tallest tower and stood there for way over an hour Until she decided she'd jump, so she jumped with a very loud thump And all of the neighbours, they came out and cried when they discovered that this poor girl had died And a boy, he just stood there and gasped at this beauty asleep on the grass Well, her eyes were like none he had seen except for the girls in his dreams Then he changed and then soon he became depressed and very, very strange He'd lock himself away for days and days and play songs that were blue and play songs that were grey and play songs that reminded him of that day Yeah, yeah One day, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy in a different world and she speaks to him at night, only in a certain light She wore white when he wore black and they were like a perfect match And though one was dead and one was alive Through many years, their love did survive 'Til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same and they both are floating in the sky singing their own lullaby of a song of them that reminds them of a past time a song that reminds them of a past day a song that is blue and a song that is grey a song that is blue and a song that is grey a song that is blue, a song that is grey
ahh man everyone here who is listening to this is like a walking poem. Everyone has a sad story to tell and it's wholesome inspiring and just downright sad all at the same time. And that's okay. A little good should always come with a little sad anyway. So when you tear up, Smile anyway. It shows us how beautiful you really are.
Then he changed and then soon he became, jealous of her beauty and fame, so he locked her away and he forced her to play songs that were blue and songs that were grey. *sigh*
"Until she decided she'd jump, so she jumped with a very loud thump." ...oh... "And a boy, he just stood there and gasped at this beauty asleep in on the grass.." ...oh god... "Then he changed and then soon he became depressed and very, very strange..." ...it hurts... "One day there was a girl who fell in love with a boy in a different world..." ...woah... "'til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same..." ...I..I can't... "songs that were blue, songs that were grey..." Damn you Elena...you made me cry... ♥
a lot of things have changed. i listen to this song and remember my mental state back then. i like who i am right now and my heart goes out to my old self. i miss her sometimes
AUGH! I'm so glad you found this. I've been searching for god knows how long. My friend told me about it and i just couldn't let it go un-listened to !!! lordy you are fabulous for this.
@Misathousandsuns thanks for sharing this song :) just listening to strumming of guitar make me think... this can be elena only..thanks a lot for uploading it.
So glad I came out of this situation..this was my situation but not my ending..love to all the souls that hurt and left this word from a abusive relationship whether it be mental or physical..I was that lonely girl that contemplated jumping a million times....you are much more than death people I love you...
I often come back here. I know this song for a very long time now. I am so broken. I'd like to end this pain so bad.. my family broke apart this year..I had to say goodbye to one of my cats because he was terribly ill..then the love of my life ..the person who'd promised to always be there for me left me after 9 years. She hates me, even tho I gave her no reason. God, I miss her so much.. I've had a lot of hard times in my life...and now I'm at a point where I can't do this anymore..I don't want this anymore... I just can't...
Her voice was so different back then it's unbelievable. Her lyrics are so much more complex now. Aha, when I first played this song I thought it was a cover cause her voice was so tremendously different.
OMG! Did i really missed the concert of my favourite band in my country??? There is actually one good groupe coming to Luxembourg and I don't see it!!! I so hate myself an my leasy ass right now! Daughter is so amazing
I swear this song saved my life as a teenager. The dream of something great waiting for me that would never come if I ended everything. Stay strong, something or someone is waiting for you. Keep going.

I love your conclusion
I had Chipotle last week and still have the poop baby it produced, who can I give it to?
gurusaini05 Lol.
I hate to sound like some snooty teacher, but can you expand?

All her lyrics are so elegant and intelligently written
"'Til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same" :'( this is heart-wrenching

Bye
Did you find her?
Because I exactly now what you mean, I am searching for someone too.. But its a while ago since you posted it ..
Maybe you forgot it all
This is too beautiful, I really hope you find her one day
Still hanging in there?
did you found her?
Man, you blew it again! You'll never see her and she'll marry some big guy who looks a lot like you but isn't and you might never be happy!
Oh my god my heart just cried. It actually hurt a little.
Not only a little... It hurt's sooo much
This is Elena. It was on her MySpace acct in 2008.
in the picture or the singer?
The singer is Elena Tonra from Daughter and her solo album called Ex:Re. There's not a single song I don't like by Elena.
Allison Drzewiecki no
This song and that picture are incredible! Dream dancing! Spiritual.. love
this part of youtube is like fucking narnia
you mean like stepping through a door and getting into another world?
hanshans145 that's exactly what i mean
*Listen to 'Peacock Affect - I Wrote This In The Dark'*
I'm crying so hard now, this song is so sad and beautiful ♥ I love it
I seriously don't understand how a song can be made so powerful and emotional
Her voice is so calming. perfect.
That's lovely. I love how gentle and genuine this band are.
I have had this on repeat all day everyday for the past week, it's such a beautiful song
That’s me today and probably for next several
"No copyright intended, I couldn't find this song on youtube so after over an hour of searching online, I found it and decided to share it with everyone else who maybe looking for it.". I can't thank you enough. Bless you
So Pure ! I can't stop listening ! So moving...
This is Elena Tonra voice. She sings in the band Daughter.
could've fooled me. I wonder why she sounds so different, not melancholic
OK people calm down. Whether or not it is her, does it really matter that much? Why is it that we are so obsessed with celebrities and labels and all that. Both Elena Tonra, and the girl who sings this ( if it is not Elena Tonra since I guess there is no proof) have amazing voices and talent and correct me if I'm wrong but you listen to music for that reason don't you?

Well said. Such a magic lyric. It feels so personal. ^^
inadeepsleep lmao
Im pretty sure it is her, she has a different style when she sings solo, like with your kisses, it's the same style
(':
pretty sure it's her. beautiful song
Guy this is her, just younger. If you listen to her early stuff she sounds really different!
Do you know what EP this is on?
@@andersdondes4748 It isn't on any of them. This is her old stuff.
For anyone who is wondering this is Elena tonra but this is an older song and her voice is different and deeper in daughter
Bailey Smith yeah. yu can even hear a simular tone in candles when she was still young as well😊
A story told in melody... So bittersweet and heart-wrenching. I just love Elena.
Beautiful picture too wow. Love this. Makes me want to dance♥
that voice is gorgeous :3
Thank God am hearing this song now. Teenage me couldn't have handled it! just beautiful
Such a beautiful story, so many memories and people come back through these lyrics.
This voice is very similar to her voice in Daughter's Demo EP when she sang "Your Kisses". Lovely song
I just love to story told in this song. I have loved this song for a year now and never actually heard it properly, now I have I just...wow!
"She wore white when he wore black and they were like a perfect match,
And though one was dead and one was alive
Through many years, their love did survive"
Wow, describes my situation to a T, my soul mate died 3 years ago, he was 19, and I miss him everyday and even though I can't see him or hear him, I will always love him. We really were the perfect match and we always will be, just in different worlds.
Tbh he wld love every moment you think about him. Best homage ever :)
She wore white and he wore black and they were like a perfect match.
Ugh now I'm depressed.
I can see Marceline singing this and it makes it even more sad xD
very nice song.
Every f*cking time i listen to this song i imagine exactly the same... i was feeling like "Bro, you're a weirdo" But i'm not the only one :'v
Naruhoe omg yes
One day there was a girl who cried tears of pearls
and her eyes were blue and green like none I've ever seen
And she met a man that night who filled her with delight
and he spoke in poetry and rhyme
and she loved him in no time
But he changed
and then soon he became jealous of her beauty and fame
And he locked her away and he forced her to play
songs that were blue, songs that were grey
Yeah, yeah
So then this lonely girl had, had enough of her world
so she climbed to the top of the tallest tower and stood there for way over an hour
Until she decided she'd jump, so she jumped with a very loud thump
And all of the neighbours, they came out and cried
when they discovered that this poor girl had died
And a boy, he just stood there and gasped at this beauty asleep on the grass
Well, her eyes were like none he had seen
except for the girls in his dreams
Then he changed
and then soon he became depressed and very, very strange
He'd lock himself away for days and days
and play songs that were blue and play songs that were grey
and play songs that reminded him of that day
Yeah, yeah
One day, there was a girl who fell in love with a boy in a different world
and she speaks to him at night, only in a certain light
She wore white when he wore black and they were like a perfect match
And though one was dead and one was alive
Through many years, their love did survive
'Til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same
and they both are floating in the sky singing their own lullaby
of a song of them that reminds them of a past time
a song that reminds them of a past day
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue and a song that is grey
a song that is blue, a song that is grey
ahh man everyone here who is listening to this is like a walking poem.
Everyone has a sad story to tell and it's wholesome inspiring and just downright sad all at the same time.
And that's okay.
A little good should always come with a little sad anyway. So when you tear up, Smile anyway. It shows us how beautiful you really are.
Then he changed and then soon he became, jealous of her beauty and fame, so he locked her away and he forced her to play songs that were blue and songs that were grey. *sigh*
Bathna33 is that why her songs are so depressing now
"Until she decided she'd jump, so she jumped with a very loud thump."
...oh...
"And a boy, he just stood there and gasped at this beauty asleep in on the grass.."
...oh god...
"Then he changed and then soon he became depressed and very, very strange..."
...it hurts...
"One day there was a girl who fell in love with a boy in a different world..."
...woah...
"'til time faded and soon they became both exactly the same..."
...I..I can't...
"songs that were blue, songs that were grey..."
Damn you Elena...you made me cry...
♥
