to me this song feels like its about a hopeless romantic. with so much love to give and nobody to give it to. creating scenarios that they feel will never happen.

[gabrielle]

Been obsessed with Lizzy since 2020 and I am so excited for her - she is so deserving of the success of this brilliant song

[jackiefortis_]

best vocals live, stripped, acapella. she just has talent in every cell of her body

[sxph_xe]

This. Song. Is. So. *Good* .And. So. *Painful* .At. The. Same. Time.

[MaxReisinger]

The melancholic tone to this song is so comforting, yet at the same time, it stings.. Magical.

[alstrickland]

She sounds exactly like the record. It’s insane how uncommon that is.

I love how Ceilings is a deeply moving song that people relate to on a personal level in their relationships, and Lizzie is just like “yeah I wrote that cause the words sound cool and I like rain 🤪” haha

I have always interpreted this song as something dark. Like having to end something because you realized what you had wasn't real and that you had to let go despite how pretty the narrative your brain creates of the memories you had together. Idk...this song just hits me in my feels.

[samarkriaa]

"We love a plot twist" she describes her music in a sentence right there. I love her plot twists in her stories

[taylorchameleon]

omg she's getting so famous wtf i started listening to her when apple pie came out in 2019 & now she's here 😭

[matthewbell]

at 1:29 she sings both parts of the harmony in the original song on "water". She doesn't stay on the one note she sings both which creates the illusion of her harmonising by herself. THIS IS MADNESS SHE'S SO GOOD

[a.alegator]

discovered Lizzy when she opened for Dodie last year...and what an experience. my brother and I were absolutely blown away by this amazing singer just absolutely hitting every single note so incredibly well. and her songwriting skills are like no one else I know!!!! so happy she's getting so much recognition. SLAY

[rachy]

SHE IS GETTING THE ATTENTION SHE DESERVES

[bianca-wpwk]

so so proud of how far lizzy has come in such a short amount of time 😭 she’s incredibly talented and i’m so glad she’s getting the recognition she’s deserved

[elssidney]

As a person who relates to this music, i love how she describes the outro part, for her it's about something that she wanted to happen and she imagined in beginning when they met each other.
For me, its like when you love the idea of someone more than them as themselves and when we realized and look back it comes with the *"but it's not real, and you don't exist"* lyric saying that all of the memories was not real and it was all only in our heads

[sophiaisabelle]

Lizzy is an amazing lyricist. Somehow these cool words that she comes up in her mind turn into such beautiful song lyrics. She deserves more recognition.

[emmahutton]

she is truly changing music as we speak. LOVE LOVE LOVE LIZZY

[jameswells]

I Really Like Lizzy McAlpine Singing Voice So Much

[maximabeccar]

She sings exactly as the released song, not a single drop of autotune, a real artist❤ love u Lizzy

[souleyes]

Her voice is just perfect 🤯 she doesn't need a powerhouse voice, nor autotune. She's just so good at it
