grey - original song | Orla Gartland

- a song about having no grey area.
lyrics & (chords)...
verse:
(Bm to A, A to G, Bm to A, G to D)
Sometimes, I wish that I could feel numb
I wish that I was someone who could just brush it off
Sometimes, my head is like a party
A fight is starting in the corner of a crowded room
pre:
(G, Bm, A, D/F#m)
and I feel it bubbling to the surface
I can't look it's making me nervous, how?
I don't mean to be so erratic
Maybe i'm melodramatic now
chorus:
(G, D, A --)
'Cause it's always so good or so bad
Never in the middle
I either feel it all at once
Or feel so little
There's no middle
verse:
(Bm to A, A to G, Bm to A, G to D)
Blue & green, are so familiar, they're all I seem to know
I see red & I hate it
Never thought that I'd be here, but hey, now I'm begging for grey
(pre)
(chorus)
mid8:
(G, D, A, F#m)
You're telling me to simmer down
Just tell me how to dull it out x2
(chorus)

This is my favourite song of yours, wish it was on Spotify! :)
You know when you hear a new song for the first time ever, and you just know you're going to listen to it a million times till it's irrevocably seared into your brain? That! That x1000!
thanks so mucho john you ledge
Having a borderline personality disorder diagnosis, it feels like this song speaks directly to me. Orla you're so very talented and I'm so very grateful.
I was looking for a comment like this, I have that diagnosis as well and was just wondering if I was looking too deep into it, making connections where there weren't any but turns out I'm not the only one thinking that :) it really spoke to me as well xx
another one over here.. hello! i got that too. glad i’m not alone in this.
@@insolencestar Me too! The first thing I thought when I heard this song.
revisiting this and i?? i love her so much?? how is this possible??
still kinda bummed we never got a spotify release for this :(
BIG MOOD
its so inspiring how you can make something so big with something so little
love this jam
This one chokes me up the second the synth comes in - these songs really got me through some of my darkest times.
your music should be HEARD by everyone in the entire world. just saying.
Damn.. why you gotta do this to me, Problematic is still stuck in my brain and now this..
CheesecakeLasagna we're on the same boat
My friend showed me this song, at the time I had a completely one-sided crush on him and the lyrics spoke so much to how I was feeling about the situation, and so I fell in love with this song. He passed away very tragically two weeks ago, and the lyrics have taken on a whole new meaning to me that I will never hear this song the same again. I miss him every day, and as of right now I still break down every time I hear this song.
I still love it, it's a beautiful piece of art that is only in my life because of my friend who I loved, and I'll always cherish the memories of driving around with him listening to this. Thank you Orla, this song is a gift beyond words.
You ever have those songs that feel super duper relatable, and help you feel connected to the human experience? This is one of those for me. Thanks Orla, you're a gem.
biggest compliment in the entire world!
your originals never cease to amaze me omg i've been listening to you for like 6 years and dang i still love you so much
all of your songs have such a nice and strong structure and such amazing (like i'd totally tattoo them on myself good) lyrics and this song is no exception. my dream is to write a song as good as this.
agrasin if I can anyone can x
pleeassseee make more fully produced music. These videos of new songs are incredible and I just want to hear what it'll sound like fully polished, gahhh
:)) that's the plan! promise you some sweet releases this year xx
Yessss! Can't wait!
You sing so passionately I love it Orla!
youre a visionary. blown away with the things you achieve and conquer with each new song.
: )) wowza thank u
love this Orla x
thanks gal! legend
it's not orlas sole singing skills that got me, even if they're amazing, but her passion that's distinct in her singing and the energy you can see. this is what I look for. I'm bored of all so perfect emotionless singing. orla is fucking refreshing
world's best pre-chorus right there.
oh my goodness Orla this is amazing
i just feel like you would make the perfect ginny weasley just musical
Hey there, Orla! How come i just found about you today?!?! Youre amazing and this is an amazing song. Youre very creative! Loved loved loved. Cant wait to listen to more of youre originals!! Congratulations!
this does remind me of daughter! and i am loving it! this is a wonderful song!!
This portrays erratic emotions so well
The existence of this sets my musical standards quite high
YES ORLA! P.s. Im kinda ready for a new EP pleaseeee ;)
in the works! tho thank you for being so patientttttt lil bear
Her voice excites my senses.
I'm so glad you're getting step by step the recognition you deserve, i always loved this song and come back to it regurlarly. Thanks Orla and i wish you all the best
my bpd ass relates to this so much, i'm actually tearing up
shay - that’s exactly what I was thinking. Guess that’s just the BPD life lol
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING
I can imagine this as a huge hit in the near future. That beat is insanely catchy.
Best Pirate of the
Carry be on
OHOYYYY!
Love this song - and your "grey" jumper!
I sang this with my friend at a school performance last year and everyone loved it. It was sooo much fun :)
Really can't get enough of your originals
Am I the only one who still listens to steps by her lit all the time!! 💙💙
Malik Mcclain i always come back for steps I love that song I really hope Orla release the studio version someday
Vanessa Sarmiento trust I'm still waiting for that beautiful day.
That jumper is fab. As is this song. I'm loving this whole, drum machine, lo-fi, bedroom recording thing you've got going on. It's ace!
Amy Naylor thank you x 100!
your pre chorus has been stuck in my head the entire day. and the whole lil piano bit
Orla please tell me quite how you manage to be more and more phenomenal with each new song??? I didn't realise it was possible but this is absolutely incredible. I can't even express how completely blown away I am. I've also been feeling exactly how you describe in this song a LOT recently and can't understand how you manage to put it into words?? And MUSIC???? You're a goddess, never ever ever stop doing exactly what you're doing
Dani Hamilton HEART EYES FOR U thank you gal
Damn! Somebody sign this girl!
It's 1:30 in the morning and I'm teetering on the edge of a panic attack because I can't stop thinking about how much of a freak I am because it's like I have two modes. 1:robotic,stern,cold,seemingly emotionless,too honest,socially inept
2: Super loud,annoying,overly emotional,theatrical,over dramatic and childish,really outgoing
The second is like a failed attempt at a mask,I try to act like "normal" people do but then I end up being a little bit too dramatic or theatrical and it tends to drive people away
I can't find a balance inbetween the two,this song is exactly how I feel. I've been trying to find a way to put it into words and I finally did. Thank you Orla for writing such beautiful and meaningful songs,You may not know it but they really truly help people ❤
Jayden Williams my guy you aren’t a freak there are plenty of people like you, I’m one of em and I know it’s kinda hard to not feel that way (I haven’t figured it out yet) but It’ll get better at some point
You're so good! I always get your songs stuck in my head. After all these years I still go, "Step one, step two... step." ❤️️😘
Another great original.
fucking CLAAAASSSSS
This is something that comes closest to describing what its like to suffer from bipolar and i thank you for that
I'm showing your songs to my uncle (he is a radio broadcaster) because you deserve to be famous.
i keep listening to this.. over and over and over again.. ❤
you are so good it hurts
I randomly stumbled across this.......I am speechless. Amazing. More people need to stumble across this.
listened to this years ago, randomly heard a song of hers on spotify and recognized the voice, now i re-listened to this and still remember all the words🕶
This is SUCH A GREAT TUNE!
Every song you make puts a hugeeee smile on my face, love it all :)
This song speaks to me. I fully cry every time I hear it.
It's the 'now i'm begging for grey' that gets me. Great song! :D
I've actually had this stuck in my head since January no joke
I just love that Rusty and Dodie and all of my other favorite music youtube people are all friends and support each other!!!!
Seeing you live was amazing you just have so much emotion in your expressions and your voice and your words and arghhh you are just an amazing performer and you deserve millions of subs!! :)
Beautiful and perfect... this reminds me of Postcards! There's a unique feminine, gritty, raw, emotional feeling in these two songs.. incredible. Tingles.
I hear in this a bit influence of Hayley Williams from Paramore :) Preety nice song, and good playing the guitar!
Never felt a song so succinctly and cleverly describe how my bipolar feels, so beautiful. thank you for sharing
I've never seen anybody enjoy playing their own music this bad. So good orla ✨
every once in a while i come back to this cause its so good !!!
I be shooketh. Like, holy crap Orla this is SpEcTaCuLaR.
This is one of those rare songs that fits me amazingly well and i just need to listen to it on repeat. Forever. Amazing.
Still scratching my brain
I love all the new stuff you're making, please never stop, but I keep coming back to this song for some reason...if there's ever an Orla Gartland World Tour better bet I'm buying the first ticket in South America!!
so much talent
this is so amazing how is this even possible??!! you're such a gift omg
sometimes, i wish i had discovered orla 7 years ago
this song is beyond words.... and your performance is so expressive, I LOVE IT
a gr8 song and a gr8 jumper
your voice and the tune 😍 many little earorgasm, thanks, greetings from germany
Man you're going to get so far, this is incredible
Why havent you blown up yet?? All of your originals are amazing!
I love how REAL this song is! I can absolutely connect with it because it is so genuine and visceral!!
obsessed with this song tho
I aspire to be as good of a songwriter as you! This was incredible
I'm just now discovering this beauty and I love love love her 💖
so groovyy (esp at "now I'm beggin' for gray" and "you're telling me to simmer down, just tell me how to dull it out")
Orla 😍 I loved this so much ❤ I miss you! X
You're accumulating a nice collection of bangers now but this one's still my favourite. You were an exceptional performer of covers as an adolescent and you've grown into a very fine songwriter in your own right. It's been joyous and a tad surreal watching you grow up on UA-cam. Keep up the good work.
This is ridiculously good. Like... I don't even know
Monohtoen virgen de la Macarena
I just recently discovered you and I was doing my media homework and thought to myself, "imma listen to some Orla and see what other stuff she's done"
"I either feel it all at once or feel so little... there's no middle"
I almost jumped out of my skin when I heard this, and my focus was literally RIPPED from my homework to my computer screen. I have never heard a song lyric that has described my life so perfectly. That was beautiful, and I have fallen in love with this song... thank you
I like how you can hear the raw emotion and intensity when you sing. It really accents your music well.
I sincerely hope that more people get to recognize and appreciate you, you're really good at music, and songwriting, and singing, and I really dig the way you play guitar. I for one am rooting you on and hoping for much success. Keep it going!
Ever song speaks directly to my heart and soul
Love this you deserve wayyyy more recognition
holy cow I swear you make some of the best original music out there
God youre probably my favorite song writer
Very nice song!! You are so talented
i feel this so hard. and i love your tiny instruments.
You are art Orla!!! 💜💜
Heard this on Patreon a while back and STILL CANT GET OVER HOW GOOD IT IS (you're my fav artist I support on Patreon btw, those demos ARE DAMN GOLD.)
Shelby Olive Shelby thank you! Means the world 😊
I love it when you smile just for a sec while singing!
You're everything I want to be. You can communicate thoughts in the most incredible honest way. You're as beautiful as your voice, which is like a hot room in winter. I'm speechless.
Orlaaaaaa!!!!!!! This is so amazing. I'm blown away
I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS I CRY AT YOUR TALENT
I've been your subscriber since like 2010, and somehow over the years your videos stopped showing up in my subscriptions. I just rediscovered you and I'm so glad to see that you're still on UA-cam! I really like how your music has evolved. Hope you've been well!
