My favorite part of this song is when she says she looks perfect and calls herself gorgeous. Like. YES say it AgAiN

[@distantsolarsystems]

"drunk in my hotel room, i look perfect i look like I'm 24 before i caught your coldness god, i'm gorgeous"

[@alejandrorohen]

I can't put my feelings about this song into words. And not just this one. The whole album. It has some kind of vibes that I hadn't listened before, like, every element on the song matches the other perfectly, the piano, the drums, the guitar with that effect she used, it just gives me chills. I hadn't felt this way about music in a long long time. Elena is the new queen of melancholy. Period.

[@finnie]

agree, it's awesome.

[@Elle-zt2pe]

Very well said!

[@taefer7437]

Wasn't she already kinda the queen of melancholy with Daughter?

[@joshywhvick]

most people cry from there eyes, elena cries from her mouth. her music makes me feel so vunerable.

[@symoandy4787]

I feel the same 😊

[@reon-larth]

Ik the feel

[@camann33]

Well said.

[@camann33]

The more I listen to this, the more I appreciate your comment.

Elena Tonra is such an emotional performer that you feel like you're being shown something intimate when she sings. I think though, that this session (especially Romance) might be the most raw I've seen her.

[@strawberryjpeg6000]

[@lcorso]

When I discovered that video I was (and I still am) absolutelly fascinated by her hands, her looks and smiles and how she starts with plenty of emotion -nearly not knowing how to move- and later she relaxes and flows so naturally with the music. It's such a beatiful emotional catharsis through the song that gets me every time ❤️🎶

[@pasf4118]

MB thought i read the most i wanna raw

[@filmpje8433]

Autumn starts and I’m back to this album. Love it.

[@lotusblossom11]

The harmony at 4:27 😭

[@camann33]

3:37 - the shrug, and the disbelieving squint of her eyes. Perfect.

[@romainszuwalski]

patiently waiting for the tour ---

[@Solecity2]

Her voice is so raw and amazing. I probably played this 50 times in the last 2 days

[@D_esquire]

I’ve just found this song and right now am reliving your comment 😭

[@user-qn1zc]

how... how can she sound exactly like the studio version? i'm in awe. a true artist.

[@francielydearaujo34]

Did not you know?She’s not human,she’s an angel💕

[@Nico-jc7zr]

yeah she's closer to it than the instruments

[@alexissalas1093]

In my opinion she sounds better than the studio version

[@sodiumlights]

now, that`s a drummer!

[@owolawikehinde5654]

It's the drummer's attitude for me! Love it so much. He's putting his body and soul into it

[@bartlomiejmirowski]

You know what the saddest part was? The way she actually SAID 'this is living'. It was not magificent singing that she can perform. It was simply, sadly and awfully ordinarly said. Amazing. Thank you. Pure magic.

[@BionicleSaurus]

This drummer's got some funky fresh moves I must say. Also his playing grooves like hell, so that helps.

[@samsepoil2111]

Her performance is so vulnerable, almost like you want to comfort her; but that isn’t the point. It’s meant to be raw and emotional, just take it for what it is. It makes you almost mold her words into your experience. I often feel my day change after hearing songs like this. I love how it reminds me what a complex roller coster love and loss can be. Thank you for this performance!

[@hubertszer31]

i cant stop lisning this song, for 4 days from now... its perfect

[@hubertszer31]

still on the top of my playlist

[@MeirleanShawk]

It's mid July, 2021. Most of the world is going through another wave after another wave of a virus, and humanity is so torn it feels sometimes like there will be no end. South Africa, where I live, we've just gone through riots and so much chaos. This is also the week I found Daughter and Ex:Re. I cannot express how much this has helped me...

[@tottsi]

You're not alone, mate

[@LivrogneDu29]

I hope you're fine my friend !

[@MeirleanShawk]

@@LivrogneDu29 I am. World is still messed up and strange, but we survive right? My gift to you is "The Silence" by Manchester Orchestra

[@ShortThe1st]

Fellow South African here, I know it's a bit late but hope you're doing okay🤗

[@arthurarakelyan7925]

[Verse 1] The night is young at the Dazzler I spiked my own drink, took myself to bed Alone I pondered the cheap thrills of hotels The miniatures, the endless throwaway towels One for my hair, one for my foot Another for my other foot My face, my neck, my spilt beverages [Verse 2] Drunk in my hotel room, I look perfect I look like I'm 24 before I caught your coldness God, I'm gorgeous I keep begging for late checkouts Let me stay here, let me live here In room 232 till I expire, I can shower for hours Leave the lights on, I'm not paying those bills [Verse 3] The neighbours are quiet, no one is back yet I think about the falsity of hotel sex Expensive bed sheets and the orange glowing filaments The way you used to say you love me In the heat of it, holiday feeling When it wasn't over too quick Yeah, I'll throw the TV out the window And I'll paint the whole room gold I'll make potions with the minibar here Yeah, I feel unbalanced, put my feet on the walls Trying to meet you all night, I'm not paying for calls [Chorus] Oh, this is heaven Alone Yeah, this is living Alone

[@iluminomucho]

I've always loved the structure in this song, i never figured out if it even had a chorus

[@xinner8098]

This song keeps me up at night, am I in love with my ghosts or am I becoming them?

[@doyle6000]

2:01 "I look perfect / I look like I'm 24 before I caught your coldness / God I'm gorgeous" 😍

[@laylette4017]

Elena, this song is what I needed to cry out what I still had bottled up in my chest. Thank you for your words. Im sorry for your pain.

[@manure4163]

This is heaven......alone This is living......alone (This is feeling ........ alone 💔)

[@MissCoconuty]

I love how each musician seems truly connected to the song...wonderful performance, I could watch/listen to this all day

[@playernameistoolong]

This song fits so well with Life is Strange Before the Storm

[@velyn2053]

Probably 'cause she's the artist that made the most songs for the soundtrack lmao

[@___Steinn___]

I just discovered Daughter and was hooked from the first song. And now she comes up with this... 😍 can't wait to see her live... the queen of melancholia!

[@frtnxresearchcentre3770]

I've been waiting for her to return to this sound. The feeling packed into If You Leave on songs like Tomorrow, Shallows, and Lifeforms. Thank you for the soul-loving music

[@cronaon317]

Exposing herself exposes ourselves. She is incredible as a songwriter and performer
