here besties. some lyrics to psychoanalyze your relation to [Verse 1] I think it's kinda fun to trace it Back to where it all began Back in Dublin, in the kitchen Up late talking to my mam She was standing by the oven A strong and stoic woman I saw her as an equal, as a friend And I saw myself inside her, a sobering reminder We all become our mother in the end [Chorus] You can leave it all behind Skip a beat in the bloodline And you've been hiding all your life, it's time To skip a beat in the bloodline Oh, in the bloodline [Verse 2] I always feel like I'm the bad guy 'Cause I'm the one that upped and left It kind of feels like living two lives And always tryna catch your breath Now I've gotta go my own way Talk about a cliche Remember to call home on the weekend The radio is blaring We turn into my parents It goes dark, and then it starts, then it starts again [Chorus] You can leave it all behind Skip a beat in the bloodline And you've been hiding all your life, it's time To skip a beat in the bloodline Oh, in the bloodline Oh, in the bloodline [Outro] I don't wanna run away But you, you don't get me I, I keep it all in 'Cause we never talk about difficult things I don't wanna run away But you, you don't get me I, I keep it all in 'Cause we never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things
As a guy with a loving but complicated relationship with my parents, this song hits a really special chord in my soul. What an excellent album Orla, I loved (and love) being part of your journey. So incredibly excited for you and what's coming!
As an Irish guy I feel this song on another, heartbreaking, level. Family is such a prominent thing in this country but it's always so hard to connect with your parents especially when you want to branch out and do your own thing in such a small country
Just have to note my love for the ‘ooh’ motif during the chorus guitar/bass riffs in Bloodline and how it reprises later in Difficult Things to create this epic link between the two melodies but slower and more desperately deliberate. Just epic, what a track to finish this rocket of a record ❤️
every time I hear a new Orla song it instantly becomes my new favorite. this one, especially lyrically, resonates with me on a level that's hard to put into words- and I haven't even heard the rest of the album yet !!! ahhh what a time to be alive ♥️
Thank you for sharing your soul in music. I just danced and cried to this song and it was cathartic. I resonate with this on so many levels I can't describe. ❤️
I just listened to this whole album twice in a row and I cannot stress enough how much I absolute LOVE it! Every single song sounds amazing and is so well written, performed, and produced. This song specifically, in addition to so many others on the album, resonates so much with me. Congrats on creating such a beautiful, awesome album! I love every bit of it and wish you so much love and success
OH MY GOSH YEEEESS I just sat here with my mouth wide open and started to cry a little because you just explained what Im going through rn so perefectly. Im amazed. Edit: Taking the oppurtunity to wish everyone who´s reading this all the best! Love from Germany
Is it a left handed guitar used up-side-down or a normal one stringed in the opposite order? Whichever it is my mind slowly blown as I watched Orla playing that way.
I will never be my mother (not because I’m a bloke) I loved her but I will never be like she was but I guess it’s not for me to say maybe I am …. I need to go to bed!
therapy: expensive
woman on the internet: free
[if you internet, etc, sociophilosophical discussions...]
“We all become our mother in the end” -why would you do this to me, Orla 😭
So you can skip a beat in the bloodline
@@Schmeephilis13 hahahahha 😄
here besties. some lyrics to psychoanalyze your relation to
[Verse 1]
I think it's kinda fun to trace it
Back to where it all began
Back in Dublin, in the kitchen
Up late talking to my mam
She was standing by the oven
A strong and stoic woman
I saw her as an equal, as a friend
And I saw myself inside her, a sobering reminder
We all become our mother in the end
[Chorus]
You can leave it all behind
Skip a beat in the bloodline
And you've been hiding all your life, it's time
To skip a beat in the bloodline
Oh, in the bloodline
[Verse 2]
I always feel like I'm the bad guy
'Cause I'm the one that upped and left
It kind of feels like living two lives
And always tryna catch your breath
Now I've gotta go my own way
Talk about a cliche
Remember to call home on the weekend
The radio is blaring
We turn into my parents
It goes dark, and then it starts, then it starts again
[Chorus]
You can leave it all behind
Skip a beat in the bloodline
And you've been hiding all your life, it's time
To skip a beat in the bloodline
Oh, in the bloodline
Oh, in the bloodline
[Outro]
I don't wanna run away
But you, you don't get me
I, I keep it all in
'Cause we never talk about difficult things
I don't wanna run away
But you, you don't get me
I, I keep it all in
'Cause we never talk about difficult things
We never talk about difficult things
We never talk about difficult things
We never talk about difficult things
We never talk about difficult things
As a guy with a loving but complicated relationship with my parents, this song hits a really special chord in my soul.
What an excellent album Orla, I loved (and love) being part of your journey. So incredibly excited for you and what's coming!
THIS ALBUM HAS NO SKIPS IM GOING TO BE LISTENING TO THIS ON REPEAT
bruh that chord into the chorus is NASTY holy shit
Can we get an extended version of Difficult Things! I can't get over that song!
When little orla says "the photograph when you take it" her little accent is so cuteee
I can only aspire to be as cool as Orla playing guitar
i'd even settle just with shaking my head to the rhythm the same way she does c':
I think we lost when she played the ukulele as a kid in the beginning of the video
what a mood
As an Irish guy I feel this song on another, heartbreaking, level. Family is such a prominent thing in this country but it's always so hard to connect with your parents especially when you want to branch out and do your own thing in such a small country
all I want for christmas is a full version of difficult things
amen
perfect ending to a perfect album
correct
Orla low key made a music video for EVERY SONG ON THE ALBUM and I’m kinda here for it.
This album is so good, every single song is unique and has its own meaning, truly talented
Just have to note my love for the ‘ooh’ motif during the chorus guitar/bass riffs in Bloodline and how it reprises later in Difficult Things to create this epic link between the two melodies but slower and more desperately deliberate. Just epic, what a track to finish this rocket of a record ❤️
difficult things is my favorite
My friend tweeted about Orla randomly and I decided to check her out. Wow! Her songwriting, singing - everything is incredible and meaningful.
This is the perfect song for escaping narcissistic parental abuse
Simply brilliant! Something everyone struggles with. I did more than skip a beat, I ended the “bloodline.”
every time I hear a new Orla song it instantly becomes my new favorite. this one, especially lyrically, resonates with me on a level that's hard to put into words- and I haven't even heard the rest of the album yet !!! ahhh what a time to be alive ♥️
Waiting for my record to arrive! Love you Orla!
it's like a soundtrack for a movie !! :oo
I sincerely love your honesty in your songs
Maaaan I love the chorus so much,,,
Me too
Ope I'm here because my family is going through a real tough patch and this song is holding me up a bit.
The first one being good, really sets up the rest of the album! Orla I'm so proud of you!!!!
I love this. It has such a coming of age feeling that really inspires me and makes me want to reflect! Thank you Orla for another amazing song!!!
She saved the best for last 🤩
baby orla is so cute omg
Thank you for sharing your soul in music. I just danced and cried to this song and it was cathartic. I resonate with this on so many levels I can't describe. ❤️
after watching all of these videos, im suddenly feeling so incredibly inspired omg
I just listened to this whole album twice in a row and I cannot stress enough how much I absolute LOVE it! Every single song sounds amazing and is so well written, performed, and produced. This song specifically, in addition to so many others on the album, resonates so much with me.
Congrats on creating such a beautiful, awesome album! I love every bit of it and wish you so much love and success
Also, this album is going to be the soundtrack of my life for quite a while lol :D
Amazing....Orla you deserve the world!!
this is really good! love it
Made it this far into the album and, well, I think I absolutely adore you!
this is my favorite, it hit the spot
Orla is my favourite woman on the internet - (for) ever!!!!!!!!
"a sobering reminder that we all become our mothers in the end" *screeches*
WOW! This was so amazing Orla! What a wonderful human you are
OH MY GOSH YEEEESS
I just sat here with my mouth wide open and started to cry a little because you just explained what Im going through rn so perefectly. Im amazed.
Edit: Taking the oppurtunity to wish everyone who´s reading this all the best! Love from Germany
This is so so good
a banger song as always (੭ ᐕ)੭
but what exactly does skip a beat in the bloodline mean?
Miss out on becoming like your parents? Try and break free from the bad things they ingrained in you (and that their parents ingrained in them?)? Idk
to do your own thing and not do what everyone else in your family did or what you parents did
that can be anything depending on your situation
Great song
You are very coolll. I literally love you and this album
i adore her
I relate to this song more than ANYTHING I stg
This album is MAGICAL Orla THANKS!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!
Gah WHAT A SONG
DAMN this is good.
I love it so much
This museum is not obsolete
I love this so much, i've been listening to it almost everyday!!
Is it a left handed guitar used up-side-down or a normal one stringed in the opposite order? Whichever it is my mind slowly blown as I watched Orla playing that way.
First hell yeah
oooh, this one hits the spot, mmmhm, delicious
We all become our mother in the end. Kjsdbvjbxzha Orla this is a hate crime. How can you call out my worst fear casually like that?!?! Im suing
You’re so fucking cool Orla
I will never be my mother (not because I’m a bloke) I loved her but I will never be like she was but I guess it’s not for me to say maybe I am …. I need to go to bed!
as someone who has mommy issues i relate to this, sometimes i wanna skip a beat in my bloodline
