Laufey - Falling Behind (Acoustic)

[@CCoreOW]

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.

[@lolzfunnycat17]

same!!!

[@thewoman-y1x]

Same!!! 23. Fallen in love but never reciprocated😢

[@tobitobiokageyama]

same.

[@CCoreOW]

@@thewoman-y1x Oh yeah for sure feel that one. Tbf it's gotten to the point where I can't even tell if my feelings are actually real anymore, cause man, my brain just falls in love with random people on the street now

[@thewoman-y1x]

@@CCoreOW you know I can't tell/ remember what love feels like unless it happens. Until it fades away, I let the waves pass through me and when it's gone, I can't even remember how it felt.

[@steph3819]

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

[@loganrao353]

and sing at the same time, she is talented as fkkkk

[@lachlanteh4313]

no so true cuz I can play it perfectly and I try add in singing and its impossible lol

[@jnbargen5449]

@@lachlanteh4313facts 😭🙏 doing both makes it like 10000x harder

@@jnbargen5449 yeah fr, but she did write it so i guess it sorta makes sense

[@abacaxi1471]

I can play the damn song and even sing but my singing skills are so poor man.

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

[@ralphmarcusdeguzman7655]

Your so cool Laufey thanks for your songs!

[@taplubambhos2869]

I think just keep doing acoustic bossa nova Laufey, its your niche, it's pure bliss and beauty for us and you shine like the midsummer sun in this format

[@ClaireUnderwoodMusic]

Just beautiful... my next song to learn perhaps... I might just end up becoming a Laufey tribute act!! 😂 Your song writing is right up there with the best!

[@cookiedragon8234]

Laufey I adore your music, and this may be my favorite acoustic video you’ve ever done! Your voice fits bossanova so perfectly. This feels like a warm hug

[@leminoade]

lady not a track releases from your repository that does not make me want to fall in love and disappear from the internet to dance around in my kitchen and discover myself. the day you disappear is the day i cover contemporary music in a white sheet, hoping it's you and all your talent and passion underneath. I LOVE YOU LAUFEY NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC XX

[@DJMoy0]

It’s a good day when Laufey drops a track

[@liqstarrx]

first

[@eliya777]

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

[@JimmyLundberg]

for real!

[@erick-gd7wo]

I'm dreaming of Chesky Record.... one of the audiophile quality record company

[@JasmineN.]

100% agreed :)

[@arnlmndza]

on point!

[@marvinchang7077]

Great song writing and singing!

[@shawnpang2979]

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

[@Squabbles64]

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 :)

[@handlemonium]

Yeah this is exactly how Olivia Rodrigo started out before she accepted her contact in Disney's High School Musical series. Hope she retraces her roots later in life.....maybe with a little nudge from Laufey 😊

[@Narine-Marvel_lover]

This is why she is my favorite singer❤

[@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

[@handlemonium]

Yah

[@BreakCards]

I hope you are right! I’m 31 yo I’m tired of waiting. But I feel my standards are high but are mine

[@freakpetux4452]

this is beautiful

[@aishiteruseyo]

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

[@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.

[@Tiamaria2002]

UGH I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH GIVES ME TINGLES

[@markhonman4903]

"poking fun at yourself" - exactly what is needed in Bossa Nova lyrics... you manage to capture that wistful, self-deprecating, but also not-taking-myself-too-seriously feel that's so typical of the Portuguese lyrics by Jobim, Vinicius, etc.

[@penguinjennifer]

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

[@sujeetkhadka5945]

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

[@jin_unrested]

We all love her, admit it.

[@GeorgeCollier]

babe wake up new laufey album about to drop

[@Yakushii]

babe wake up, new 2-5-1's to transcribe

[@alexcherkas9737]

i love how the most replayed part of the whole song is the beginning, so nice

[@oliverchavez5662]

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)

[@stevegarcia5004]

Sounds great. Love the Bossa groove.

[@DARdesigner]

Your face while you're singing is beautiful.

[@tomhazelton3070]

I just played this song with my 15-year-old guitar/music student at an open mic night tonight. I played guitar. She sang this and killed! She's the one who turned me on to your music, which I absolutely love! Keep up the great work. This was exquisite.

[@aggressivepotato9346]

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

[@shxjmm2759]

she's so pretty

[@Jayspy26]

my day was already good but a new laufey acoustic cover made it even better

[@BetterIdeas.]

This song is destined to become one of the great classics. fr. grammy time or grammy don't mean nothing. jazz artists gonna have so much fun riffing this song

[@talkandmockinggoblin960]

The “someone to call mine” part is such an interesting listen, great stuff as usual

[@blakewoods668]

This song has been on repeat on every platform I have because its so good. I started getting back into music by listening to your music

[@RobPizzaSauce]

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!

[@BeachJazzMusic]

I think I love when you do this the most. There's something so raw and innocent about it. Anyone can sound great in the studio but to sound the way you do live in your bedroom is quite a different story.♥♥♥

[@ashleyw672]

What a beautiful voice and song, I'm so excited for the album!!! Imagining the day she sings with Michael Bublé-two modern day jazz singers colliding!

Beautiful. Always love the acoustic versions of your song better. Not that your team doesn't do an amazing job producing and mastering. But nothing beats your pure acoustic vocals and some nice guitar,violin or piano. Wonder if you'll ever see this. Anyways love it as always

[@SakshamGhai-k5o]

Your music is like the gentle waves caressing the shoreline, your guitar playing as soft and sultry as the night breeze, creating a beautiful and captivating Bossa Nova symphony..... i tried to mimic shakespeare,jokes apart. YOU HAVE AN AMAING VOICEEEEEEEE!!!!!

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

Please release these acoustic versions too. They are a treat. I feel like I'm just sitting in a room and you are playing it for me and I'm convinced that everyone feels that way while listening to these. They are somewhat raw and unfiltered but that makes them authentic. For me they definitely fall into the cool and unpretentious sprezzatura. It feels like you are showcasing your genius specifically for whoever is listening and without any effort, but you are a bit shy to do it. They feel intimate, cosy and personal, please don't let them stay only on you tube.

[@swetha.s9077]

Just when i thought we couldnt possibly love her more , there she goes proving me wrong ❤❤

The first time I heard you was this song. As a brazilian, I really thought you were brazilian as well... You´re playing bossa nova much better than many of our brazilian musicians. And making a much thoughtful and with more soul than our musicians. My stepdaughter introduced me to you (she loves you, btw) and I fell too... You are really amazing and I´m so into your music that I find myself humming all the time... And you made me remember so many good brazilian songs... Thank you! Keep on this way! You´re reviving good music with this younger generation.
