lyrics:
do you think about me at night?
when the sky is losing light
I swear my head fills up with memories every time
are you moving on with your life?
did you find a job you like?
I always thought you could do anything
and I've been running over all the things that I will never say to you
like how I just wanna hang with you
and watch grand designs
I’ve been trying to train my mind to put you in another category
but it’s still not coming naturally
after all this time
tell me
why this has to be
so heavy
‘cause I really thought that we’d be cool
some exception to the rule
but honestly
I think it has to be this heavy
I wish your mum and I could be friends
I think about her now and then
how we drove up to her house
I'll never see that dog again
guess I needed a minute
to live a life without you in it
but you’re in every stripy t-shirt that I own
oh I've been running over all the things that I will never say to you
like how I just wanna sing with you
as we’re walking home
and I’ve been kissing different faces just to make it a reality
I did it for the therapy
but I felt alone
tell me
why this has to be
so heavy
‘cause I really thought that we’d be cool
some exception to the rule
but honestly
I think it has to be this heavy
do you think about
do you think about, think about
do you think about
do you think about it too?

my favourite thing about your lyrics is lines like "i'll never see that dog again" and "i just wanna hang with you and watch grand designs" , beautifully capturing how, when you abruptly lose someone from your life through a breakup, you realise how much you miss the everyday aspects of a relationship and the everyday comforts. this feeling of absence from your life can be the most painful and difficult thing to get through after a breakup.
Yep
I never got with my friend but I feel this. It's almost suffocating how hard it is to understand that frayed disconnection.
She just posted this on her insta!! ♡♡♡
@@cupidcatch ik, I can't believe it!!
@@Dancingqueen1980 sending love ;(
"I'll never see that dog again" crushed my heart.
Oh god same :,(
Most heartbreaking moment of the song:(
not a single dislike in sight, just pure sad vibes.
don't fckn jinx it
I don't find it sad, history is not sad :)
@@orlagartland he jinxed it :o
@@rokas5220 I'm a she but thanks for asking! x
Orla Gartland he jinxed it
“I wish your mom and I could be friends, I think about her now and then”. This. No one talks about how sometimes when you lose a relationship, you may be losing more than just one. It’s hard when you can no longer associate with someone, because of their relation with who you broke off with. Thanks for acknowledging the hurt
So true. When people break up they break up with each others families. Sometimes that's harder than the break between each other.
So truth
I still miss my sister's ex boyfriend. I don't know if he was great for her (they obviously broke up), but he was a great brother to me and I wish I could still have a reason to have him in my life. But my sister was the only person we had in common, plus it would be weird now.
I interpreted this differently, with my own experience. I lost someone dear to me in April 2019. He was my first love, then we were friends, then he decided he couldn't take whatever "it" is anymore. Ah, this song just holds so much meaning.
A lot of singers put out songs to get famous and get money. I feel like every song from Orla is a poem from her heart to the world trying to express herself.
I hope in the process she gets famous and money because the world needs more artist like her in it.
Crovax Windgrace i know you mean this as a praise to orla, but i honestly think 99% of singers are in it because they love the craft. of course most people are gonna want to become famous and rich doing the thing they love.
Crovax Windgrace absolutely!!!!!
She just needs to go on America’s got Talent- maybe she won’t win, maybe she will- but imagine all the publicity she’ll get!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰🥰
@@frogman1 agree its not they all "sell themselves" its they dont get the break they deserve i only know of Orla because i went to to see Gabrielle Aplin and my mate happened to have seen them both perform so then recommended i check her out that was 3 years ago and ive now seen Orla live twice
@@astrabula329 she's irish lol
this is so sad in the prettiest ways. orla's art is a blessing and her lyric videos are so creative, i wish more people know about her 🖤
uwu thank ya'll for the likes
I’m dating my long distance best friend, and honestly it’s very unlikely that we’ll end up together in the end even though we love each other so much. We always talked about how we would still be friends if we had to break up, but I’m terrified that if we do, we’ll have gone too far into this relationship to ever be close friends again. It hurts to think about when listening to this beautiful song 💜
arhgghggghg this breaks me
Orla's "💔" song vids have been coming out around the time I broke up with a long-distance best friend/boyfriend whom I was in love with.
All of Orla's lyrics hit close to home - down to trying to put him in another category, missing the time we drove up to see his mom, and realising I may never see the dog again.
I can't tell you that it'll be painless, but I can promise you that it gets better with time. My ex and I have been navigating the space we both need to give and tears we need to shed. And we're slowly healing. All because we both have mutually decided that we cherish each other's friendship too much to give up without trying, even though our relationship has ended. (And also because neither of us prescribe to the "don't be friends with your ex" ideology.)
Sorry about the wall of text, but I just wanted to reach out to you and say that if you do end up breaking up with your long distance friend, I wish you all the strength and recovery. Lean on your close friends and family, rediscover your local library, visit an animal sanctuary, and when you find yourself inevitably getting better, throw a Progress Party™.
All the best. ♥️
For a positive perspective, I've been dating my long distance best friend for over 2 years now :) we take turns visiting one another despite living across the country from one another. Its possible!! I hope for the best for you two
I have been dating my long distance boyfriend for 10 (yes, TEN) years and I am Canadian and he is American. We visited each other a few times a year, met each other's families, but were always stuck at an impasse of making it a reality. We finally decided enough was enough, and I went through the process of immigration. It was a lot of work, but I just moved in with him 2 days ago and we are getting married at the end of February. Things that are worth it are not easy, but they can happen. :)
Sara Espiritu talk to them about it. It honestly won’t make everything better or make the fear go away, but it can help to let them know where you’re at and how much you care and really strengthen that relationship.
I was just sitting here and thinking of a friend I lost contact with.. and felt really heavy and was about to cry and then the notification came up. Coincidence?
Beautiful song
yikes. sending love
Locked myself in a meeting room at work so I could listen to this in peace. And now I'm crying in a meeting room.... You've done it again Orla. You are so freaking awesome 💛✨
4 years ago i had a best friend. I think it was one of those falling in loves that you don't realize till it's too late. i live so far away now, so so far away. and today i suddenly remembered her and i just couldn't get out of bed because it hurts how much I miss her. I feel like this song gets me, like each line hints to my story, too. like how I'll never see her dog again or each striped tee shirt I own reminds me of her ;). it's so comforting that others have gone through something similar to me too 💔 i don't know how to thank you enough orla. keep doing what you're doing xx
Same as you, I understand ... Crying everyday she'll be not there anymore. I loved her so much...
Omg. Orla no one has been able to say this in a song in this way before. I know this exact feeling. Honestly this hits a place no song has been able to hit before. ❤️
Megan Chalmers I feel like Linkin Park - Heavy kind of gives the same feeling.
This song is beautiful. Been supporting you since the yellow wall, but i can't get over how underrated you are. Your songs are always so wonderfully written and relatable, how have you not blown up more?
Stephanie Lynette
I don’t understand how she hasn’t either. She’s amazing and deserves more recognition for her talent
Just finished watching all 12 episodes of Normal People... too many emotions❤️ hadn’t cried over a film series this much for a long timeee... #normalpeople
Sara Kousha im on epsiode 6 its amazing
The book is amazing too
choice eties.
This lyricism. It doesn't get better than this.
Omg Orla, It’s like you know my story!!!
hi orla, just wanted to tell you how much i love this song. apart from the fact that it is so relatable, i really love how the lyrics and the music match perfectly. i don't know how to explain this, but when i listened to this song for the first time, it felt like i was watching a movie; i literally could "see" the situations you were describing which i think is due to your incredible songwriting skills. an amazing song. thank you, orla.
This has such a familiar vibe. I feel like this song is an old friend that I haven't talked to in a while.
I see... So this is part of your devious plan to quality raise the bar for all other lyric videos...
I've never heard a song that's genuinely made me this melancholic before. It hits like a beautiful punch in the gut.
The abrupt ending on songs like this one and figure it out really leave you feeling like you’re missing something and so you just have to listen to them again
Your music is so raw and honest, I love it. I love you.
your music is really human and I'm thankful for it
orla :( this is so beautiful you had no right to break my heart like this
RIGHT im sad now
It's been weeks and I can't stop playing this. What a heartbreaker.
I've been so lucky and have rebuilt an amazing friendship with an ex. There has always been this feeling that we'll always be in each other's lives. We had to have space apart and there were so many moments where I thought we'd never be able to be friends. Also I missed her dog so much, he is a very good boy.
this is really beautiful and it hurts so bad
how does your music just hit me all over, you're writing is so beautiful and also cripplingly relatable... your songs just encompass an entire emotion or memory and it HURTS but its so comforting at the same time that someone is sharing your pain
Every song of yours I listen to tries to pry the barriers I've spent a lifetime building between my inner self and what I show the world. How does someone so young have such power in her writing. I can't seem to stop listening and wondering why am I like this. Looking forward to more.
Your songs are like a best friend to me. I only feel understood through your songs. They help me very much. I'm so thankful that you share your talent with the world, your music fills my emptyness.
* me crying into my bowl of cereals while my relationship is slowly falling apart listening to a bunch of your songs and being thankful for at least that thing right now *
I feel like there is that horrible period of time, when you are already broken up and there is no going back, so none of that "take me back" songs are relevant, but you still are not on the "singing adele in the rain" moment. Just.. you move on with your life, but thoughts are still there, over and over again overlaping in your head. And this is the song. THE song.
Orla this is absolutely beautiful. My friend Abi introduced me to you and since then I've been absolutely mesmerised by your music. You're an absolutely incredible artist and each song of yours tells such an emotional story. Your voice is so soft and calming and your songs are absolute masterpieces. I'm so so proud of you Orla ❤️❤️❤️
Damn!...This is REAL music...I wish i had came across this sooner.
I discovered Orla in 2008, when she shared with the wolrd a lot of awesome covers. I was the same age as her, and i was trying to play guitar and ukulele and i stumble across one of her versions of U2, coldpay, etc. I was immediately mesmerized by her, she made me smile every time she uploaded a new video.
It's been 13 years, and I'm still mesmerized by her, she still makes me smile with her new songs, and ... now with this amazing song especifically, she makes me cry too!! hahah I can't belive how much i can identify with this song hahah ... precisely i enjoyed listen to her music for years with the person i thought would be with me forever ... but that person is gone now and "it's so heavy".
Orla and her songs are like a warm familiar place to be when i feel sad or really happy... through college she was a ray of sunshine that motivated me every time I felt like giving up.
And whoever has read up to this point: sorry for my english, i speak spanish, and sorry for writing so much hahaha ... And hello!! I wish you a nice day, afternoon or night !!
Good English, actually, and nice sentiments
I keep coming back to this song, there's just something so nostalgic and special about it.
sometimes you just need to listen to the same song for an entire afternoon
for a month straight
Your voice is so enchanting, it makes me wanna listen to the lyrics and really understand them, feel the emotion. Pure talent
I project my situation into this song so bad, it’s the melody of my distressing life, and you happen to make me feel like I’m being hugged despite the tone. So thank you.
I feel grateful I never had to experience a heavy breakup. But songs like these make me understand. Such a strong song.
This song is brilliant it should have millions of views. Love how minimal the video is as well 👏🏻.
Something about this song is so deserving to be heard by anyone who has had their heart broken. So true...
I swear.. The line with the dog left me sobbing in tears 😭
It's been a long time since I heard a song that just moved me this way. It doesn't relate to my life at all but the lyrics and the melody just make me feel so heartbroken. Thank you for such beautiful music.
This song describes the exact way I felt when me and my girlfriend broke up like 7 months ago. It took me a long time to get over it, for months my mind was basically this song. I’m finally at peace with it and happy about where I am, but man this song still pulled on my heartstrings
I’m crying. This is sooooo good.
I didn’t know how much I needed this. “I guess I needed a minute/ to live a life without you in it.” // “and I’ve been kissing different faces just to make it a reality / Oh, I did it for the therapy, but I felt alone.”
About time there was credit given to local Irish artist and I say this as a Canadian/Indian. Love your fresh vibe Orla, beautiful songs
Imagining how underrated Orla Gartland is.....
This song is so beautiful and your voice is so calming, just wow
love it
Uggghhhh the harmonies are so subtle and perfect on the do you thing about it too part and then the piano is so nice and then the string section comes in and gives me chills. Gonna add to my playlist on Spotify 🧡
Feeling this song to much, lost my best friend and love of a year and she won't even say a single word to me. I can't stop thinking about her. Thank you Orla for a song that literally describes how I feel.
This song resonates with me on an almost painfully deep level. Thank you for making it.
This feels like all of the emotions I’ve been feeling for the last 5 months. I think about him every day, but I bet he doesn’t think about me at all. It just hurts to be so ignored and forgotten.
This song absolutely wrecked me when I first heard it. Thankfully time and therapy has helped and I can enjoy this song and think of the past without breaking down.
Ok. Goosebumps.
Literally every song u produce I fall in love with. The soul and depth that is intertwined in the lyrics just gives me the feels. Keeps me wanting to create! If you ever wanna work on a project together I’m an artist and would love it so fing much!!!
Watching Orla’s videos I have always been amazed by her talent. In this song, oh the voice…. Just brilliant.
Jesus christ, Orla, do you have to reach into my head and my heart and beat the crap out of them every time you write a song? This is beautiful. And perfect.
this hurts so bad, i constantly think about someone who could have been that Someone in my life but it never happened. ties were cut and we’ve only talked a couple of times since, i think about them all the time and i wish i didnt. this song is too real almost, but it makes me feel less alone. thank you orla
ALL THE CHILLS 🥺🥺
Man this song hit so close to home.... Great tune Orla. It's like you were in my head, and my ex's head. Wild... Sometimes it feels as if the world is watching..,.
Lovely writing. 😍
This "brokenhearted" era is honestly Orla's most creative in my opinion. I really loved Why am I like this? but the song she has been putting out lately seem like she has found her voice and musical style in them. Creative production with lovely and deep lyrics as always and the sound is just amazing. I just love everything about it!
ur songs are so beautiful and with headphones aHh *chef's kiss*
Hello Orla, thank you for existing. I love you.
WE FUCKING LOVE YOU, ORLA. Thanks for putting out good music constantly. We love supporting you, and you definitely deserve it because of the hard work you continue to do.
Hauntingly beautiful song.
3:45 AAA THATS SO BEAUTIFUL
RIGHTTT
such a simple but absolutely amazing video! Thank you for putting yourself out there!
recently been crying over a best friend i lost years ago and it really hurts, one of the hardest things and i don’t know if i’m gonna be able to get over it and now this amazing song came out and i’m crying to it now
it's so crazy how human experience is so universal. i know this song is probably very personal and specific to you and yet it describes what i'm going through to the tiniest detail? it's a comforting thought somehow, to know i'm not alone. thank you, you gave me just what i needed at this moment.
I think a song is very good when it makes me emotional and lets me get that feeling I can't really describe. And this one made me feel this way. So I think it's very good. And I love it.
It's been so long since I listened to this song for the first time, but I'm still being moved by it every time I hear it (even being in a happy relationship). It captures the heartbreak so perfectly from the feeling of nostalgia, instead of anger or just sadness like most songs do. It kicks you in the gut.
Thank you, you're truly an artist.
Well. I didn't expect to be sobbing rn. But here we are.
This is incredible stuff .. you are amazingly talented .. a genuine talent .. I love it
This hit me on a long drive home tonight. Your lyrics are like the last 6 months after unexpectedly parting ways with someone. Not only that, but this melody is gorgeous. Thanks, Orla.
sooooooo authentic... long live orla
orla. i don’t know how you do it. your songs speaks to my life in ways i didn’t know could. yet another heartachingly beautiful song.
Definitely the coolest lyric video I've ever seen
🌼🌼Beautiful melancholy!! Thank you for shining this into my existence Orla... truly needed to experience this today. Have a lovely week🌼🌼
This is the kind of music that the me of a few years ago wouls have cried a lot to.
Just so you know, it does get better.
I don't know how to describe this song other than that it's so real. So gut-wrenchingly real. I adore it. 💖
What a beautiful song, Orla. You deserve the recognition.
Orla is so amazing. I've never had a relationship like this but I felt the lyrics so much. This song really really tells a story and it's beautiful.
This was exactly what I needed today. Beautiful song and lyrics. Thank you.
Wow... your best yet!! I cried my eyes out. Sooo good!
Wow. Just wow. Not only is your song writing absolutely beautiful, your voice is captivating. My favourite of yours of all time. Thank you.
This song has been helping me write some poems and songs so thank you orla. I hope I see you in concert soon.
Real talent and such beautiful lyrics ❤
One of these songs that just makes me wanna hug the person that wrote it and tell them their pain will go away some day
Orla your music is so fantastic! I have never been disappointed by your music and I feel it move me everytime I hear it. I hope my music can connect with someone the way I feel with yours someday. Thank you
Holy crap this is beautiful. It's very rare I'm touched by song lyrics, so good job, Orla.
I'm here because DissociaDID and i'm just so glad that thanks to them i found such a amazing singer, i love every song, thanks for sharing your heart and soul
Yay, new music from Orla! We love!
I really like this.
orla and ashnikko have been my saviors during this breakup-healing-process, love it💝
I love the way you write your songs because your singing them from the heart and their just so unique and beautiful ❤❤❤
amazing song with such meaning
Hi! Just wanna say you are a splendid person and a singer so good, I'm your fan, thanks for existing and bringing to us - and yourself - all those breathtaking lines, love yaaaa 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
This song hits really close to home for me.... I fell in love with one of my friends in school after a couple of months when I was seeing how understanding and patient he was. He felt the same thing for me too and we unofficially got together. I was so in love with him. He was the sweetest guy Ive ever met in my life who made me feel really loved and supported. Thing is, we both have really bad mental health. He told me one day that he wanted to think things through so we didnt talk for a month because we were taking a break. We still arent talking yet and it makes me wonder if we're still going to get back together. My heart still hurts and even if he hurt me by suddenly pulling back, i still love him so much. Im not in love with the person he's acting as but, i cant bring myself to think badly of him.
Wow I burst into tears reading this comment bc this is exactly what is happening to me, (minus meeting in school), it’s been about a month since we took a step back and he said he still wanted to see me but is now not talking to me at all, and i’ve been trying so hard to be unbothered by it. Did it all work out for you? I would love to hear a happy ending but even if it wasn’t i’d still like to know
Orla you never fail to amaze me😭😭😭😭it breaks me💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
