[jackshiels]

there’s not a day that goes by where i don’t wish this was on spotify

[darwindeeez]

new half.alive song reminding me of this one. vocal gives me chills the way it sits in orla's range

[udampreetkaur]

7 years and I'm finding it on Spotify... But coming on YouTube for this is lovely

[brancozfj]

I always thought the lyrics was "I don't need your Wifi"
In my defense, english is not my first language hahahaha

[moonzter]

i love your original music, it's so edgy yet girly and cool and spunky and all the right things so tyvm

[sophiebradshaw]

We're poppin the biggest bottles when this comes on spotify

[Aboutamovie]

Facial expressions on point as always!

[meganhewitt]

5 years later still coming here to listen. Would pay anything to have this released 😩😩😩

[mehbobotorp]

This is easily the best original song I’ve heard on YouTube.
Everything is so well crafted. The riff, the bridge, the lyrics, the vocal melody (and performance).

How in the world is this not getting radio presence...
I don’t know where you’re at now in your career, Orla, but for the love of god never stop writing music!

[Kenshh]

Adore the layering in this. You're honestly in a league of your own, voice, lyrics, rhythmic style. Its all so Orla and its beautiful

Also love your mic stand! ;)

ps: audio&video Q are 10/10, enjoy your lil Irish island!

3:20 me the whole time while listening to this song. No for real – I just came back for it and now I'm going to have it stuck in my head for the next week

[emilywang]

nightmare, I saw you standing
you were right there
and I surrendered
your face is just how I remember

to think about it now think about it now
you threw me overboard no hesitation
and now you're trying to figure out
trying to figure out
how to come back looking like a savior

and I'm gonna be just fine
I don't need your lifeline
and I'm gonna be just fine
I don't need your lifeline
tell me one more time how you're the one to save it all
I'll tell you one more time how you're the one that made me fall
I don't need your lifeline

flashback, oh how I used to wish
that you would come back
but now i'm past hurt
so it's strange to see you crawl out of the woodwork

to think about it now think about it now
you threw me overboard no hesitation
and now you're trying to figure out
trying to figure out
how to come back looking like a savior

and I'm gonna be just fine
I don't need your lifeline
and I'm gonna be just fine
I don't need your lifeline
tell me one more time how you're the one to save it all
I'll tell you one more time how you're the one that made me fall
I don't need your lifeline

and now you cast your rope
like it's some kind of joke
like you forgot what happened here
why do you just show up when you're down on your luck
and when you've got no ship to steer

and I'm gonna be just fine
I don't need your lifeline
and I'm gonna be just fine
I don't need your lifeline
tell me one more time how you're the one to save it all
I'll tell you one more time that you're the one that made me fall
I don't need your lifeline

no no no I don't need your lifeline (x4)

[manar]

its been 7 years orla pls let this see the light of day

[AmericanLibra]

YouTube has been flooding my recommendations with these bedroom rockstars.

And I ain't even mad.

[erinm]

EVERY new song you make instantly becomes my new jam! You fricken rock the music industry!

[EmmaJaneMusiq]

I still come back to this, Orla. I want it in my life every day

[TheemILYvm]

3 years later and I’m still waiting for this to be on Spotify 😭 basically my favorite song next to I Go Crazy

[LizaLavolta]

ORLA!!! Ok, Where do I start...I just LOVE that you are still staying true to the origin of YouTube- which is someone in their room sharing their heart without pretense. I'm so pleased that you aren't hyper obsessed with perfect lighting, being in a sound booth, etc etc. Even your more professional videos still have that thread of honestly. Thank you for inviting us into a window of your world and staying true to yourself in this way. Please don't let anyone shake this from you. <3


...also a round of applause for that mic stand (:
