Laufey - Falling Behind (Acoustic)

Falling Behind ❤️

Follow Laufey:

Lyrics:
Moved out to a new city
June is dawning down on me
And all that I can find’s

A sickly romance in the air
Lovers stroll without a care in sight
Oh this can’t be right..

Cause the sun’s engaged to the sky
And my best friends found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody’s falling in love
And I'm falling behind

Touched the ocean fell right in
Stepped outside and burned my skin
My life wont go my way

Bossa nova in my room
Hope that I’ll find someone too
To love, because

The sun’s engaged to the sky
And my best friends found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody’s falling in love
And I'm falling behind

Everybody’s falling in love
Everybody’s falling in love
Everybody’s falling in love but me

Reposted for better quality!! ❤️ hope you like it and thank you all for all the kind comments so far 🫶🏼

As a 22 year old who's never been in a relationship and had quite a few failed dates, this one hits a little too close to home. It's good to know there are lots of others in the same boat though! Only discovered Laufey a couple of days ago but man, I can't stop listening to her. Her voice is just so soothing.

[steph]

the amount of coordination it actually takes to play and sing this song at the same time is insane

[DJMoy]

It’s a good day when Laufey drops a track

[eliya]

I really hope you publish acoustic version of your albums one day. Your singing voice and playing guitar alone sound simply elegant and perfect.

[shawnpang]

Laufey's face is just so suited for her voice and that gaze. Oh my love....

[HeliNoir]

Love the Bossa Nova notes!
There’s no problem with Falling Behind in love, it’s like fine wine. The longer it takes to have that someone, the higher your standard gets and the quality rises too… then you end up cherishing yourself more and actually be okay with Falling Behind
Hoping this makes sense and someone can relate

[Squabbles]

I love that even as she grows she still uploads these acoustic versions and gives us a little background on the songs. It makes it still feel like when she only had a couple thousand subscribers and such. So personal and delightful :)

[krunopii]

I love how she plays the guitar like it's a lyre and it's stunning to have that all on beat while singing.

[penguinjennifer]

can we appreciate how talented she is!! she writes her own songs, plays them, and sings them. i love her!!!!

[markhonman]

"poking fun at yourself" - exactly what is needed in Bossa Nova lyrics... you manage to capture that wistful, self-deprecating, but also feel that's so typical of the Portuguese lyrics by Jobim, Vinicius, etc.

The 22 year old Laufey featured here has no idea how famous she’s going to be. One day, she will perform this song at the Hollywood Bowl with the LA Philharmonic as back up in front of a sold out crowd. The filming of that concert will then be in movie theaters in IMAX. With all that talent and hard work, she deserves everything good coming her way.

[aishiteruseyo]

This is trippy cuz it sounds exactly as the non-acoustic version. Talent fr fr

[GeorgeCollier]

babe wake up new laufey album about to drop

[sujeetkhadka]

How could she sound so bold ? And be beautiful at the same time? ❤️😭

[alexcherkas]

Moved out to a new city
June is dawning down on me
And all that I can find
A sickly romance in the air
Lovers stroll without a care in sight
Ooh, this can't be right
'Cause the sun's engaged to the sky
And my best friend's found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
Touched the ocean, fell right in
Stepped outside and burned my skin
My life won't go my way
Bossa nova in my room
Hope that I'll find someone too to love
Because
The sun's engaged to the sky
And my best friend's found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
Everybody's falling in love
Everybody's falling in love, oh
Everybody's falling in love but me
(One, two, three)

Laufey is literally my comfort space, her music is so relaxing ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

My niece introduced me to this song and to you in general and this song literally made me cry as I heard it for the first time, and basically every time since this. It speaks so much to the way my lack of a love life has gone so far and many of the feelings I’ve had. Thanks for this amazing song!
