LYRICS:
Baring my soul to you
And here comes the rain again
Once the weight of the world was a feather
Sweet innocence
There is a dusty room
Kept for a friend
You threw the windows to the world wide open
When will I see you again?
We used to be
Raincatchers
And we couldn’t see what we were running from
And you made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Here in my dreams
We’re raincatchers
Come back to me
Like it was before
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters
If we let this run
Caught on a river
Everything that we left unspoken
Will never be said
And you forgot
(Miss you always)
But I remember
(I remember)
We used to be
Raincatchers
And we couldn’t see what we were running from
And you made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Here in my dreams
We’re raincatchers
Come back to me
Like it was before
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters
If I called out
Would you listen?
The shaking ground
Do you feel it?
If I called out
Would you listen?
The shaking ground
Would you feel it?
Far away
I remember
We used to be
Raincatchers
And we couldn’t see what we were running from
And you made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Where have you been
Raincatcher
Come back to me
Like it was before
You made me feel like
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters

[@geluy8048]

Birdy is one of those artists that you want to be known by everyone but at the same time you want to keep her for yourself because she is just one of a kind.

[@mcnetwork3358]

she been an artist for over 10 years fuck u mean diamond in the rough

[@merlinambrosius4398]

I know, right? That doesn't happen often... last time before Birdy, for me, was Dry The River.

[@thelorelei1884]

My exact feelings. I want everyone to hear her, but then I want her to be my little secret 💙

[@Heartless2033]

100% true.

[@lunaretic3]

are you filipino

[@lisakickme6288]

I really hope Birdy's label puts more effort in the promos of this new album cause Young Heart it's an absolute work of art but criminally underrated and that's on the poor promotion.

[@christopher1800]

It was released during tough times, when promotion by ‘getting out there’ wasn’t on the cards. No traveling nor showing up in international tv shows. No concerts either, which is half of the promotion these days.

[@osamus1796]

Her last two albums were massively underrated in my opinion. Both Beautiful Lies and Young Heart.

[@5ide22]

I love the Kate Bush vibe on this… I find music promotion so frustrating thesedays, real talent is so often overlooked in present times for generic pop which is saturating the market.

[@totolol9387]

Yeah, even I just found out she released a new album, because I have her yet notifications on, otherwise I wouldn't have found out.

[@xochitltrejo6090]

I agree

[@danielcrosby277]

Birdy living her Florence Welch/Kate Bush fantasy and I’m here for it 😍 love this song

[@DevilDears]

I would love a collab with Florence! Their voices would sound so good together! 😍

[@cristianrolon7003]

I thought of Florence when I was watching the video

[@cecilebenedetti665]

I was thinking of Cloudbusting by kate bush while listening

[@tedupl]

and I thought of kate bush while watching this

[@carlandrewamaro9629]

​@@cecilebenedetti665 my first thought babe. damn! i see people here who loves and listen to kate bush

[@daphnedaffodil1838]

This deserves a VMA for alternative category!!!!! For visuals, directing, music, vocals, theme, lyrics, energy, everything!!!

[@IsaacReacts]

loving the genre shift, these past few songs she's released are really showing so much growth and reinvention, looking forward for the album release!

[@ryanbaez8058]

I wonder when she will release a new one? The last release is awesome..

[@Paracheckyam]

Perfect music showing the importance of healing your inner child to have a happy life

[@SeelenTaucher]

If you find your true self, embrace your own Being, Your Soul, feels Like 😭💝🌱🌎👁️✨

[@stevecarney2943]

BIRDY will REIGN in Eurovision if chosen to represent UK

[@leeclarke4005]

Birdy is the bookies favourite to go to Eurovision for the UK, could this be the song?

[@theoryfish6236]

As someone first introduced to Birdy via 'Wings', many moons ago, I always felt she was a deep, introverted, yet insanely talented character. Much to my delight, as she gets older, she has grown more confident in herself and is heading down a route occupied by those eccentric geniuses, Kate Bush and Bjork. Love the manic eye makeup!

[@easytoremembereasytodelete958]

UK WINNING EUROVISION 2023 WITH BIRDY LETS GOOOO

[@janisjoplin2843]

Oh wow, I'm stunned. I heard this on a radio, and I thought to myself "I don't recall this Kate Bush's song and the voice is slightly different ( kind of Florence and The machine voice, but this can't be Florence, this must be the 80s) what 80s artist this could be and how could I not know it?" so I Shazamed it. Imagine my surprise finding out that this masterpiece is actually from 2023! And I just found a new artist that I'm exited to discover. Birdy, thank you for bringing the 80s era to our dull music industry. And please, never compromise to them. Be unapologetically yourself.

[@cristiancirinbei7454]

Baring my soul to you And here comes the rain again Once the weight of the world was a feather Sweet innocence There is a dusty room Kept for a friend Threw the windows to the world wide open When will I see you again? We used to be raincatchers And we couldn't see what we were running from You made me feel like Nothing really matters Here in my dreams we're raincatchers Come back to me like it was before You made me feel like Nothing really matters Nothing really matters If we let this run Caught on a river Everything that we left unspoken Will never be said And you forgot (Miss you always) But I remembered (I remembered) We used to be raincatchers And we couldn't see what we were running from You made me feel like Nothing really matters Here in my dreams we're raincatchers Come back to me like it was before You made me feel like Nothing really matters Nothing really matters If I called out Would you listen?

Come back to me like it was before You made me feel like Nothing really matters Nothing really matters

[@janesgems7]

I heard her interviewed on Radio 2, she said this song was about a childhood friendship she had.

[@patrickh3385]

Currently the bookies' favourite to be the 2023 UK Eurovision entry... I with innovative staging this could be quite a spectacle though the song would need significantly reducing.

[@bulletproofbangtan7888]

Birdy is very unique. She has her own style in music and this make her special.

[@tiarasiregar2436]

Underated song🥺queen Birdy & this song deserve better....

[@Brookman59]

Fingers crossed she’s going to Eurovision in Liverpool

[@stevenlomon]

This is SUCH an exciting direction for Birdy!!!!!! And this video had me in tears, I didn't realize that the "we" she's singing about is her and her younger self the first time I heard it. It's a fascinating exploration and expression of what can essentially be boiled down to the question "Do you ever look back at your past self and wish that the present you could be there to guide your past self and reassure her that everything will be alright?"

[@janesgems7]

Frequently

[@Just-a-guy926]

Every song on the album is incredible.

[@cherryblossombaby96]

Kate Bush "Cloudbusting" vibes, and as a huge fan of Kate's I'm here for it. Birdy has to be one of my favorites of our generation's artists

[@HuyNguyen-di4rz]

This will forever be my 2023 song

[@cosmicwanderer2912]

When the world needed her most, she came back🤧🫶

[@Rose10717]

New style, new kind of songs this is Birdy 2023. The future will be exciting ❤The future is already the present and remains extremely exciting.❤

[@strollinwithrollin]

Cloudbusting bleeds right through this song. Which is not to diminish it in any way. As a fan of both Kate Bush and Birdy, it's great to hear the influences and the continuities. Now excuse me, I have to listen to this again.

[@dayslyrics]

i love cloudbusting from Kate and i feel the same energy in both songs. Kate and Birdy are incredible ❤️

[@neilcusworth1764]

Absolutely my friend welcome to the new world

[@janisjoplin2843]

Exactly! While listening this on a radio, all I was thinking was a Cloudbusting. This is beautiful. I grew up on Kate Bush' discography, and it really melted my heart when I heard this, like there is a hope for our music and for new generations to get that touch with art and feel what we felt growing up with 80s and KB influence.

[@thibault2290]

Birdy is from my generation, we are from the same year, I remember her beginnings, but she was completely forgotten afterwards, even though her artistic potential is enormous. It's such a shame because she knows how to do everything music, singing, writing she deserves much more success...I came back here after the rumors that this song could represent uk at eurovision. It would be a very good choice and it will be largely my top 3 from France. We hope it is that choice. Very nice song and melody bravo Birdy!!!!

[@daisyninochka]

that is catch-y!!! will watch again!!! i also hope for her popularity to raise!!!

[@rsd-1955]

A real breath of fresh air among female artists these days. This song (on the radio) prompted a complete day of digging your songs out. I wish you EVERY success & best wishes.

[@reginerunge6379]

She is so British and an idealistic ❤❤❤❤futuristic enigmatic visionary. Reminds me of Aurora. New music for a new age. Not sure if people are yet ready for this kind of high end and highly spiritual music❤❤❤❤❤

[@nutster9000]

Only just discovered Birdy! There's hints of Cloud Busting in this. The last time I fell into a rabbit hole discovering an artist was hearing Onuka for the first time. You don't forget moments like that in a hurry. I think I'll be playing this quite a lot!

[@jlm8699]

Birdy has been in a genre all her own, perhaps like Enya. Probably the most produced song she has released... really good To stay away from getting starstruck and ruining her , i so much admire her... To see that Grammy world of plastic artists, Birdy so refreshing.

[@Arfeodis]

On first listening to "Raincatchers" I thought of Enya too - not exactly because of the arrangement, but I just realized that Birdy has an equally rich treasury of amazing melodies in her head. I've known only several of her songs so far, but each and every one of them: perfection. I think it's time I should acquaint with her entire albums.

[@adamlon2089]
