It’s getting hard to hide this tainted lullaby I’m talking in my sleep The sky is falling down, it’s getting closer now It’s getting hard to breathe Your hold has kept my heart in chains For so long I’ve waited for it to break-eak Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re here again And I was missing the dark without you near again Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh And I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams My mind has been so dark with no way to break out And nowhere to be still It’s time to cut these ties and watch our shadows fly Let the dark flood in Your hold has kept my heart in chains For so long I’ve waited for it to break-eak Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re here again And I was missing the dark but now you’re near again Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness I’m not afraid to be alone To feel space, to know you’re gone To lose control if nothing more To feel the burn Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re near again And I was missing the dark but now you’re near again Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh And I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams…
that line gives me chills and i’ve no idea why, in my mind it’s an incredibly melancholy image of time fading away i’d just love to know what she thought when she wrote that line
I remember really loving Birdy's voice when I first heard Skinny Love, People Help The People and the whole first album. Fast forward to now, I have to say that this song really moved me from the first notes. The arrangement is incredibly well thought-out, not over-produced, always with the text and the lead vocal up front. A mix of organic and subtly woven synthetic textures. Birdy always reminds me that today's popular music can remain subtle, not self-centered, beautifully written and sublimly performed. Your music has helped me make difficult choices, go through difficult things, and it's doing it again. Thank you ever so much for bringing a bit more joy in this world.
Her music is one of the most unique on Earth. No wonder she started with Skinny love by Bon Iver, in my opinion the most unique mainstream artist to date. So she comes in second, but that's a good place to be in
In an interview with Headliner radio, Birdy describes loneliness as a mischievous character that is leading her astray, and states that this song is ultimately a love song to loneliness. I wonder if it was a decision to represent loneliness as a physical entity in this music video -- in the form of a blanket, the wind that moves her hair, the dust that rises from her, the waterfall and the flames that she embraces. Even at the end, something invisible holds her from the floor.
It’s called *COVID-19* what the fuck does “ corona” mean? You mean the beer? Let’s actually refer to things as they are called. It’s killed 2.4 million + people.
Just like a river does was my first song that I heard of Birdy in 2020 and now I know all the songs. *Update* Lol, okay so the first song that I actually heard was people help people, just saw the video & it hit me I was 14 back then. Also I've listened to not about angel's just didn't know who the singer was, fault in our stars is a sad movie I only watched it once but read the book twice just to feel the pain again. So I think I just rediscovered Birdy with just like a river does.
I agree. It’s why I came here. I love dark music that has that. The hope part makes this song so meaningful and powerful. We need more songs like this.

Songs like this, works on everyone and that's because we know now that we aren't alone in this struggle. If you're sad, lonely, mentally exhausted or the many reforms that has been built over time, know that you're not alone and you're loved. Hugs from someone who survived it 🤍
I always loved her flirting with the Victorian aesthetics. Man I never thought I'd see a 15 y.old cutie singer become a grown woman musician, kinda weird. Her voice matured but never lost the unique color and pronunciation. Go Birdy :) Hope you make many more albums.
Birdy's voice n choice of word's are clearly meanfull to her to write such beautiful song... so sweet her songs are... seems too me she's has got a big heart n kind soul! God bless Birdy! 100%☆😏
Skinny Love era is back, but this time even better! Birdy, you're an underrated genius. Your music has always been in my journey of life. I wish the world can appreciate you more as a great musician.
There's something in her voice making me feel so nostalgic..
ALWAYS!
Too much nostalgic but she’s awesome !!!
True
U dopit

Birdy is the best! thumbs up if you agree.

Sameee
It’s still my favourite
IKR i've been following her ever since ♥
Should listen to the original then by Cherry Ghost. I prefer Birdy’s version though...
Same😍
I'm so glad for discovering you !!,💙💙💖💖
Greetings from Greece 😊
It’s getting hard to hide this tainted lullaby
I’m talking in my sleep
The sky is falling down, it’s getting closer now
It’s getting hard to breathe
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long I’ve waited for it to break-eak
Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re here again
And I was missing the dark without you near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
And I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams
My mind has been so dark with no way to break out
And nowhere to be still
It’s time to cut these ties and watch our shadows fly
Let the dark flood in
Your hold has kept my heart in chains
For so long I’ve waited for it to break-eak
Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re here again
And I was missing the dark but now you’re near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
I’m not afraid to be alone
To feel space, to know you’re gone
To lose control if nothing more
To feel the burn
Something in the air’s got me feeling you’re near again
And I was missing the dark but now you’re near again
Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us
Oh, I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams of loneliness
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
And I’ve been losing my mind in these sweet dreams…
Thank you!
Hi!
Not to be a creep, but you're beautiful.
Thanks for the lyrics.
Thank you. 🧡
"feel the burn" every time I hear it!!
A Very Timely Anthem to Coronavirus.
I'm not afraid to be alone
To feel space
to know you're gone
to loose control
If nothing more
to feel the love. ( INTERTWINE)

This isn't a sad song, this is amazing, mesmerizing, peaceful and sooo liberating.
I adore the part "Watching the clock hand fall asleep on us..."
Sorry english is not my first language...so,what does this line mean? Could you help me to understand it?..
I see it as ..They are unable to rekindle what they had.. and times goes by
that line gives me chills and i’ve no idea why, in my mind it’s an incredibly melancholy image of time fading away
i’d just love to know what she thought when she wrote that line

This exactly. Birdy’s music is all about nuance, subtleness and detail. Those who can’t recognise it will probably never like it.
You are so right. arrangements are beautifully well done, not over processed mix etc.. it also reminded me her first album.
Her music is one of the most unique on Earth. No wonder she started with Skinny love by Bon Iver, in my opinion the most unique mainstream artist to date. So she comes in second, but that's a good place to be in
i don’t understand but i agree
This deserves more views!
Her songs are my to go to travel songs, especially on the plane. I miss travelling! Hopefully soon enough I’ll listen to her new songs on the plane.
That just reminded me of flying to London 3 years ago and listening to Hear You Calling on the plane :)
Yesss me tooo

I SEE what you're SAYIN‼️❣️‼️
The devil holds them all in this industry, he owns them souls!
@@borredify exactly. She does the Illuminati eye of Horus in this video and the arched back of demon possession
❣️
Probably one of her most unique and interesting music videos. The setting gives me Words as Weapons vibes, which was also directed by Sophie Muller!
I was thinking the same.
Same!
You can say that again.. Even the melody is different and unpredictable
Birdy is not a singer but a Painter. Her voice and words, paint a picture of life . She shares her life ups and downs, while making us feel better.
Birdy doesn't realize this, but she is making everyone's quarantine better.
I haven't been in quarantine for 10 months.
I love quarantine
Where are you from exactly?
yess
@@meghna7937 Germany, you?
Birdy's new music is SO FIRE.
A good title for our rather lonely corona time. I look forward to her poetry in this song.

It’s called *COVID-19* what the fuck does “

B-eautiful
I-ncredible

Just like a river does was my first song that I heard of Birdy in 2020 and now I know all the songs.
*Update*
Lol, okay so the first song that I actually heard was people help people, just saw the video & it hit me I was 14 back then.

Me with florence + the machine
Better late than never☺️ I've been listening to her since she was a teenager 🥺
Her songs always transcend reality
If you adore her songs and personality I'm pretty sure that you are a good person. Therefore, there are at least 2,5 mil. good souls in this world.
Aww!
❤️
You are right! She is just amzying...
I cant say... You absolutely right😭 I believe who adoring her have a purest heart...
I'm 56 and I adore Birdy. She is beautiful inside and out....
Everything this girl does is absolutely flawless. I've been loving her work for almost 10 years now.
Me too!
Same
So do i🌹
same 💖
Only works ? ;)
I feel like this video deserves an award. It's so brilliantly done...and it can't help that Birdy is an amazing singer and this song is captivating.
Birdy's voice goes with dark pop music (with a sprinkle of hope👌🏾) Will help us release and express our (dark) emotions
I agree. It’s why I came here. I love dark music that has that. The hope part makes this song so meaningful and powerful. We need more songs like this.
@@bulltrunch yes someone who gets it! :D
Birdy`s songs have that wonderful combination from understand us and feel with us, and from bring light in our dark moments.
Love island brought me here love this 💖💃💖💃
For the first time I heard Surrender. Than I can`t stop listen Birdy.
Our little bird come back. I'm glad to see u again, Birdy
Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time
Birdy has the most angelic and soothing voice
The cinematography is so amazing man, it's got a little renaissance touch, loved it.
Birdy is special, PERIOD!!!
One of d best female voice in d industry ❤️
Thank you for existing Birdy 💌
Birdy can never disappoint, her music sends me to a happy place
My jaw literally drop! Damn.. birdy welcome again. We love you 💜
Her music literally makes me cry with tears of joy.
I cannot wait for her album to come out. I also cannot get enough of this song.
Anyone else think this song and video is therapeutic?
There is so much class and maturity here. This could easily be a Fleetwood Mac song.
yeah the chill tones definitely sound like them
I’m not kidding when I say she has one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard
Faouzia’s cover made me love this song. I like Birdy’s voice too, it’s so calming.
Her uniqueness reminds me of SADE years ago. Fantasticly warm with sweet sorrow.
Everything about Birdy ❤️
This song is never gonna let u feel alone😌
This is my favorite song of all time. The composition is IMMACULATE. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
This girl has such a deep soul.
The concept, the visuals, she’s a legend, she's an icon and she's the moment
Anyone else want Birdy and Aurora to do a collab? They both have that goddess feel... No one? Just me and my feelings then.
Much agree
Yes please!!!! It would be perfect!
Let’s start a petition lol
lord, i'd be in heaven then
I can definitely agree, how about a Collab of Birdy and svrcina aswell
Loneliness is a chosen state of mind... Choose something different, and you will never be alone.
She’s pampering us with more and more amazing music😭😭😭I-
Classic already
Birdy’s songs are music for the soul.
im falling inlove with her voice.
🌼💛Beautiful Birdy💛🌼
PERFECTION as Aways

Omg this song is lit🔥 welcome back birdy💞!!!
Wow...Love Island brought me here !!!!
Good to hear a abundantly talented young woman singing .
Painfully beautiful, one of saddest songs I have ever heard.
This one reminds me of Words as Weapons' video so much. They seem connected somehow and I love that.
Songs like this, works on everyone and that's because we know now that we aren't alone in this struggle.
If you're sad, lonely, mentally exhausted or the many reforms that has been built over time, know that you're not alone and you're loved.
Hugs from someone who survived it 🤍
One of the songs of the year!
I always loved her flirting with the Victorian aesthetics. Man I never thought I'd see a 15 y.old cutie singer become a grown woman musician, kinda weird. Her voice matured but never lost the unique color and pronunciation. Go Birdy :) Hope you make many more albums.
Birdy's voice n choice of word's are clearly meanfull to her to write such beautiful song... so sweet her songs are... seems too me she's has got a big heart n kind soul! God bless Birdy! 100%☆😏
This song is something else, its more than beautiful ❤️🇲🇲

This lady is just a beautiful artist.Everything she does is stunning so so lovely.💕

Another masterpiece by Birdy 💝
And this is a work of art🥺🥺
Captivating, beautiful. The new album is so goood , the more I listen to the songs the more I like them. Making songs like THAT is a true art ! 💖✨🌸🌌
The hard work behind this video is absolutely mesmerizing. It looks sooooo good, what an emotion my God.
I came here for the first time like 3 months ago when I first heard Take my heart, and I stayed since then. Birdy is so underrated
I simply think this is passionate.
" Oh,I've been losing my mind in these sweet
dreams of loneliness " ❤
the girl has grown up, i like the atmosphere in her songs, gotta re-listen to some old songs of her
Моя любимая песня, слушаю второй год на повторе! Спасибо за неё ❤
Really beautiful. This video is poetry, is painting. 🎶
Her music is incredible! Been listening to her for years and she hasn't produced a bad song yet! So so so UNDERRATED!!
I love every one of your lyrics too much, I admire you Birdy. Greetings from Colombia
She is such a treasure!
The most beautiful aching... it speaks the mystery to life of the longing for those sweet dreams to awaken.
There is definitely something mesmerizing about her voice. I'm pretty sure I would be captivated by anything this girl sang. Even the phone book.
All of her songs are extremely nice
I love Birdy since I started listening back in 2013, but this songs is exactly how I feels right now, alone and couldn’t sleep at 1am
birdy you are a legend. i hope my African people knows this soul.
young heart will be one of the best albums of 2021
You sweat goodness, sensitivity and humanity. You reconcile me with what is beautiful in human beings.
Beautiful voice, beautiful lyrics, beautiful music and beautiful video.
Hi! If you wanna hear a different take on this song, I just covered it 😊
Skinny Love era is back, but this time even better! Birdy, you're an underrated genius. Your music has always been in my journey of life. I wish the world can appreciate you more as a great musician.
I woke up with this song in my head. It hits so deep. Goosebumps forever.
