[@ea597]

i think she's fine the way she is, i wouldnt wish the pain of being famous on anyone like this. the people with serious topics that need to be heard should be more popular, though.

[@ella1856]

she definitely got that

[@jackshiels2864]

there’s not a day that goes by where i don’t wish this was on spotify

[@brancozfj]

I always thought the lyrics was "I don't need your Wifi" In my defense, english is not my first language hahahaha

[@mentaflorida1131]

[@Aboutamovie]

Facial expressions on point as always!

[@aesteticslover6028]

HIHIH the queen of facial expressions! Love your videos about a movie, I've been subscribed to you for a little while and it's so impressive to see your channel grow like as does! :))

[@pistorius_]

yep. First time watching I have to focus Orla's face. Second time lyrics third time music. Then try combine these three. I need to see OG live someday so I can watch her face full 1,5 hour (not in creepy way)

[@tima3905]

I love your channel ❤️

[@Reaver70]

Orlaface is real. :)

[@mehbobotorp2373]

This is easily the best original song I’ve heard on KZbin. Everything is so well crafted. The riff, the bridge, the lyrics, the vocal melody (and performance). How in the world is this not getting radio presence... I don’t know where you’re at now in your career, Orla, but for the love of god never stop writing music!

[@TanguyBlanchard]

She has an album and several EPs that did really nicely Still wish this was on Spotify

[@BinaBianca]

What a beautiful song ...

[@beninblack4796]

Wondered how I got here originally. Discovered you and Dodie here. Well... ;)

[@Kenshh0]

Adore the layering in this. You're honestly in a league of your own, voice, lyrics, rhythmic style. Its all so Orla and its beautiful Also love your mic stand! ;) ps: audio&video Q are 10/10, enjoy your lil Irish island!

[@deanstretch1258]

Indeed. Cable ties work better ;)

[@sophiebradshaw4157]

We're poppin the biggest bottles when this comes on spotify

[@LizaLavolta]

ORLA!!! Ok, Where do I start...I just LOVE that you are still staying true to the origin of KZbin- which is someone in their room sharing their heart without pretense. I'm so pleased that you aren't hyper obsessed with perfect lighting, being in a sound booth, etc etc. Even your more professional videos still have that thread of honestly. Thank you for inviting us into a window of your world and staying true to yourself in this way. Please don't let anyone shake this from you.

I'll just mention I'm a 42 yr old male who plays guitar and writes music. I was very impressed by this song Ms. Garland. Very much like it...even though I'm partial to male singers(being a man myself). But I was really impressed by this song..just bare to the bones, raw, and yet so much "feel". I also love redheads, which is funny because my mother was a redhead. Keep going dear...you are talented. Concentrate on song writing dear. That's what separates the great from the not so great, SONGWRITING!!!! More like this please!!! If I was a producer this right here would of peaked up my ears for sure! Thank you, keep being you!

[@endervin]

From the first 15 seconds I felt it for another time: Orla did it again. You win the heart out of me, pretty human. II wish it's not sound like a trivial thing ─ I am amazed every time! As an artist using the composition rules to create a good looking picture, you're using your gingey magic and create these beauties. I love everything in your ways to communicate with the world, as far as I know the digital Orla (for 3-5 years, not sure): how you managing the videos, framing and stuff, adding soulful and warmy moments with all the little details (^_~) Your voice is magical to me, and your face is something I will always be happy to see, because you filled my heart and mind with many pleasing, happy and just good associations. Good vibes Orla, always are. P.S. I am not a native speaker, I must apologize. But I understand all the lyrics well enough. You are a talented artist, and I wish you'll get the recognition that you deserve. I am thankful to you for sharing your work and all the emotinal energy with us. We're here for you too ^.^
