There is a point when poetry transcends everything around you. There is something beautiful on the edge of melancholy. There is a feeling of content when you feel a sound so pure. Angie has given us that gift.

[@ChrisBGSl]

This is just an extraordinarily beautiful song. The lyrics, the duet, the arrangement. I don’t think I will ever tire of listening to this.

[@Pilerats]

We feel the same way

[@petenstein247]

i'm sure i'm one of a bunch of people that come hear every week and listen to this

[@marcusomme9395]

Every single day 🙏

[@JeremyBancroft]

Well I added to my Playlist and I'm transported here at random. ..though probably not often enough.

[@PaulHewson-zl5nh]

It took me until I was 75 years old to discover Angie McMahon and Leif Vollebokk... very worth the wait. Absolutely beautiful.

[@Pilerats]

This is the most wholesome comment on our whole channel

[@stuartmurphy7695]

Good music is still alive you just have to find it.

[@cyberpokey]

I closed my eyes and saw things that i thought i had lost or forgotten

[@matthewwallace9452]

cyberpokey this comment 😭

[@ayoub3000]

sometimes we're lucky enough to meet people able to wake up our inner self all at once, anger,sadness,hope, ambition, empathy come up mixing and fighting, until only the positive shades prevail and there’s calm and yellow birds flying in a room. then one day they’re not in our life anymore, and it’s like we have to deal again with all those shades that are somehow stronger and more fierce than before. now we know what to do, but it takes time to teach ourself how to do it alone.

[@dhutton77]

Her whistling is as beautiful as her singing.

[@michygoss7148]

Cannot stop listening to this song. The poetry, the musicality, the emotion, the singing, the whistling - hits on all the right soul notes.

[@fredpendergrass6960]

You hit us where we live and where we die. All those emotional thrills of love and the terrible melancholy of love dying. You're more than a song writer- you're a poet.

[@user-gy9zf5wo5k]

Genuinely don't think I've had a connection to a song like this before. Feels like this song speaks directly to my heart/mind/soul and I thank you for this.

[@stephaniemayor1423]

Every time I listen to this song, I think of it as a love letter to myself. As someone who has struggled constantly with mental illness such as depression, it is a beautiful reminder that you needn't change for anyone to love you, including yourself. It's okay to need help. And its okay to let people leave that you wish were meant to stay. The person who deserves for you to never give up on them is you. "If you call, I'll turn on the light for you"

[@dayvissonthiago]

i have depression... You want friend?

[@chris_anna4702]

that comment really resonated deeply within me because i share your expierence... your words opened up a whole other level of this song and it made me want to fall in love with myself more than falling in love with s.o. else

[@stephaniemayor1423]

@@chris_anna4702 you deserve all the love you have to give

[@chris_anna4702]

@@stephaniemayor1423 you are so nice to a stranger. Thank you ♥️

[@Tsjwood]

I found this song today, and it’s really resonated with me. It’s hauntingly beautiful. But I think I needed to see your comment more than I needed the song. Much love to you

[@sandyknowles5638]

painfully beautiful. i find truth in this song for my life

[@KCF15]

How is she not famous??? I love her voice🖤

[@natureandrandomstuff]

She is famous what are you talking about.. Now let me tell you, she's an indie artist and sometimes they decide no to sign with big labels.. So the moment she decides to do so she'll be known worldwide.

[@beeoui4063]

This makes my broken heart feel wrapped in a universal blanket.

[@robbertlamberts]

🙏👌👍😇

[@ethanp1erce]

Here because of Lief. Staying because damn she’s good 🤘🏼

[@FireFox133]

His name is Leif tho

[@trinitysmith9599]

I’ve never had such a profound effect from a song. My heart moves along with this song. What a pure magic music journey I’m on. The twentieth time I’ve listened today ❤️

[@SWSadu]

In my opinion, a nearly perfect video.

[@ozkancab]

Glass of digestive on the hand, see breeze on the skin and Annie voice hugging to my soul

[@steppewolfy8357]

Hozier brought me here. Thank you 🖤

[@brookestgermain4]

THIS WAS ADDED ON SPOTIFY!!! now we can listen on repeat :)

[@humanze]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard❤️.

[@gilbertchapman324]

Lost love, loneliness and the ensuing introspection has never been more beautifully represented.

[@africacordova1756]

Lyrics: I'm putting down the habit, that habit of looking back on all of it and wishing I had done better Oh, I just want to feel it, feel that I like who I'm becoming and feel alright in the quiet I know the sun don't rise and set above me I don't want you to compromise a lot to love me But if you call, I'll turn on the light for you If you call, I'm going to be bright for you If you call I've been a little darker than I've been wanting you to see, though you've been coming round needing to be looked after Well, I don't have an answer why I've been buried underneath some kind of mountain that I made, oh some disaster I know the sun don't rise and set above me I don't want you to compromise a lot to love me But if you call, I'll turn on the light for you If you call, I'm going to be bright for you If you call I'll tell you something that I've learned as we've been watching people leaving All the loving that we've earned is going to keep us breathing All the loving that we've earned is going to keep us breathing, is going to keep us breathing, is going to keep us breathing

[@fredpendergrass6960]

Thanks

[@user-im8dc1wc9c]

Thank you

[@AlexisLiersch]

Most beautiful song I’ve heard in a long time. Would love this version to be released!

[@Pkamon]

"The loving we've earned is gonna keep us breathing." Such a beautiful lyric.

[@alexfisher1858]

I would lose my damn mind if these two one day recorded an album together

[@EchoMeadow]

This is a beautiful dream

[@YoursydneyguideAustralia]

Just phenomenally beautiful. Love how when Leif plays keys he touches them like they are connected directly to his or someone elses heart.

[@codyreid-dodick2595]

Just BEYOND belief good. On loop, loop, loop, loop.

[@caronhansen7469]

Totally love the passion you both play and sing ...really dig this version...got it on replay cant get enough. 😊

[@wanttogotoengland]

This is so incredibly beautiful.

[@walleviolencia]

No words for this! Came here for him and she was even more : What!? Thank you humans! There is hope!

[@RobertCassard]

Real musicians letting the tempo glide where it needs to go... Beautiful.

Angie is a real Angel I love you xx

[@eric4632]

I've watched this five times in the last two days. something i've never heard before in this song, its crazy

[@hpg2007]

I found this treasure this week. Constantly on repeat!

[@ryang582]

This is a beautiful song. I don't know what Angie 's end game is here, but I do know what I personally gather from this song. To me it is basically about two things. First, being in a relationship that doesn't work that one will never do again because of the consequences, the other the hope that the feelings the relationship evoked will indeed happen again, regardless of the consequences; because the loving that we've earned is going to keep us breathing no matter how it happened. That's why, to me, "If you call" is a beautiful song.

[@percyfree9831]

Fantabdivine, magical ,so love this music ,ta for you tube bringing me, hadn't realised til lately yers a also gold

[@BagofDreams]

I’ve been trying to write this song for the last 20 years. It’s exhausting, hiding it.

She and Andrew Bird should do a whistling duet

Yes! Someone just introduced me to Angie's music. It's as if Florence Welch and Andrew Bird merged into one person :)
