LYRICS //

I tried for you
Tried to see through all the smoke and (dirt)
It wouldn’t move
What could I do

I touch your head to pull your thoughts into my hand
But now I can't

Say isn’t it strange
Isn’t it strange

I am still me
You are still you in the same place

Isn’t it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again

Back to this room
Back our roots
What did we lose
What did we lose

If I could I'd pull your strings for one more dance
But I can't

Say isn’t strange
Isn’t it strange

You look at me
I look at you with nothing to say

Isn’t it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again

Then the silence steals over to my bedside
And it whispers who I am
That violent disclosure turns my insides
Stops me when I try to stand
Isn’t it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again

There isn’t an adjective that exists to describe how distinctly beautiful her voice and performances are, consider myself very lucky to have a ticket to see her next year 🥰

[jackbrian]

i love how she changes her delivery every time she performs this song, really just feels like listening to it for the first time again :)

[jean-briceestebe]

Whoever can listen to this music without crying is cured ❤❤

[sergigorchs]

Her voice reminds me of Amy winhouse, so shy, she never looks to the camera, so concentrated in performing, like she was singing for herself, isolated, AMAZING PERFORMANCE.

[rosalie]

Isn’t it strange?
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again

This hits too close to home everytime 💔

[sevoz]

what good did I do to exist in the same time as this goddes

[playitsofast]

Voice as lovely as always. One of the best Chelsea Wolfe songs to date

[CarlaSophieMar]

This is the most soulful version of "Strange" ❤️ Celeste has got the voice, the soul, & the emotional intensity! One of my favorite singers of all-time!

[boogs]

Abject Abandonment, Loss & Grief all in a haunting Jazz ballad. The musical definition of the feelings, Pain & bitter experience. A new Jazz standard right here💙

[antnbc]

I hope the James Bond movie franchise reach out to you to write and record their next movie intro, I think your voice would be perfect.

[hazelpeebles]

went to see this performance it was brilliant 👏

[stiidtruthfully]

Your soul is connectivity loved girl u made me fall to my knees xxx

[wolfgangritter]

Just incredibly beautiful and sad at the same time. I love how she always has a variation in her live performances and each time I think: now THIS must be the ultimate version - she pulls out something even more magical.
Those 6 downvotes have no soul, no sense of beauty and no heart. Zombies.

[francoiskrn]

Grammy 2022, I hope Celeste wins in major categories, 'coz this too much good songs and vocals! Wow!

[JulianaSmiler]

Thank you Celeste, for sharing your amazing talent with us❤

Lyrics:
I tried for you
Tried to see through all the smoke and dirt
It wouldn't move
What could I do?
I touch your head
To pull your thoughts into my hand
But now I can't
Say isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
I am still me
You are still you
In the same place
Isn't it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again?
Back to this room
Back to our roots
What did we lose?
What did we lose?
If I could
I'd pull your strings for one more dance
But I can't
Say isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
You look at me
I look at you
With nothing to say
Isn't it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again?
Then the silence steals over to my bedside
And it whispers who I am
That violent disclosure turns my insides
Stops me when I try to stand
Isn't it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again?

[sillyhamster]

[blueroom]

I tried for you
Tried to see through all the smoke and dirt
It wouldn't move
What could I do?
I touch your head
To pull your thoughts into my hand
But now I can't
Say isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
I am still me
You are still you
In the same place
Isn't it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again?
Back to this room
Back to our roots
What did we lose?
What did we lose?
If I could
I'd pull your strings for one more dance
But I can't
Say isn't it strange?
Isn't it strange?
You look at me
I look at you
With nothing to say
Isn't it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again?
Then the silence steals over to my bedside
And it whispers who I am
That violent disclosure turns my insides
Stops me when I try to stand
Isn't it strange
How people can change
From strangers to friends
Friends into lovers
And strangers again?
