Haley Heynderickx - "Oom Sha La La" (Official Music Video)

[@danielthompson1406]

This song got me through grad school. I know that’s not such a big thing, but I lived in an underground apartment in northern Illinois and didn’t get a whole lot of sun. I’d sing it to myself while trying to find a parking spot on this massive campus before going in to study in this tepid, unwholesome environment. Today, a year after finishing, my wife and I planted our first vegetable garden in our backyard.

"The brink of my existence is essentially a comedy" is such a brilliant line

Saw her live in Melbourne last night and when she hollered "I NEED TO START A GARDEN" potting mix started raining from the theatre ceiling, truly magical.

Now when I am in the bush screaming I need to build a garden. Except for the ppl who saw me and were like wtf but whatever works

[@willd.4808]

“I need to start a garden” reminds me of the line “If I had an orchard, I’d work ‘til I’m raw” from Fleet Foxes’ “Helplessness Blues.” The desire to create and grow and make something, to participate in something meaningful, to pull yourself out of your rut and stagnation.

"She'll never get to eat you like your heart's a pomegranate" is the most sapphic lyric ive ever felt

[@zealouslyCantankerous]

so true :(

[@alcikelly1920]

1:38 "If you don't go outside..." My favorite part of this song, if I had to pick... I fell in love at 15 with someone a decade older than me and *suprise* it turned out very bad for me. I spent 7 years with this person and realized the hard way that sacrificial love isn't love. Been working really hard to toss out my own "sour milk" of trauma responses and learn to approach the world with an analytical eye and good faith. This phrase in particular give me hope and courage. Love didn't hurt, that relationship did, and I deserve loving relationships (with myself and with friends too!). My heart swells every time I hear this song ✨️💚🌱

1:38 "If you don't go outside..." my favorite part personally

[@mgpattison]

The first time I heard this song, it was like something unlocked in my brain. I've always liked music and listening to it, but the lyrics and heart of this piece connected with me like nothing else. It's been a rock for these past two years, and I come back often, whenever I feel like I need to start a garden :')

[@lbh515]

"if you don't go outside Well nothing's gonna happen" oof i feel called out

[@blakeelledge8516]

[@rippedupmagazine]

this sounds like a breath of fresh air! i literally started crying when she said i need to start garden. it felt so relieving, honestly!

[@gracejudson6989]

The boy who I gave abit of my heart too when i was 15, has just left to start a new life in Australia. We have been back and forth for years but we finally started too settle. We reignited things through him bringing me plants too my allotment ( I only just got it last year) this morning I went down too my allotment to mess around and just remember the beginning of me and him. This song came on a random playlist. Sometimes the universe tells me I'm in a wes Anderson film, when I got home my fridge has broke and the milk is sour. I miss him but we are still in the same film.

[@fullskapunkalchemist3471]

Parts of it reminds me of the band mothers and the oom sha la la part reminds of nothing’s gonna happen by tall dwarfs. There’s also some aspects that remind of something else possibly a pixies song, but I’m not entirely sure.

[@Devisalive]

This made so much sense..

[@_nightowl263]

Simple chord progression and melody is probably why.

[@katieking6405]

So obsessed - really relate with her lyrics and she is really inspiring. Love the bug imagery she uses. Voice is so endearing as well. Her delivery is so moving it's hard to put into words. First heard on Huw Stephens!

[@funeralgrl]

It got me through treatment multiple times. Nothing better than listening to her while smoking a cigarette. Not even being trusted to use a lighter. Having someone watch you shit, eat, sleep. Something surprisingly poetic about it. Listened to her every single day for months while I was away. She made it all so much easier. Thank you so much.

She has the raw songwriting talent of a young Leonard Cohen. "I Need to Start a Garden" is an amazing debut LP.

honestly i found this song because casey mcquiston put it in a playlist for one of the characters of their book, one last stop, & now it's my emotional support song. i started college almost a month ago, & i have social anxiety & i'm sapphic & i wanna start a fucking garden too. aaaaaa i'm so glad i have this song to get me through my day.

She is so stressed, too free to have so much responsibility. There's olives on her fingertips. She's clung to so much that only promises happiness. Throw out the sour milk. Start a garden, watch that shit grow. If you don't go outside, well nothing's gonna happen

[@shelbymcfarland1757]

Lawd forbid you read this Haley I saw you wrote this one for a song contest Dammit if there aren’t plenty of songs out there that lack the sheer volumes you are capable of producing Fan from GA! By the way lol, some of us have decent taste 🥰 this song got me through a good bit, going back to school to complete my bachelors and so many other complexities To throw myself into something To go beyond what’s comfortable and build something for myself, to create something that can grow, to allow myself to not inhibit my intellect beyond what I might not deem to be perfect … and allow myself that growth Much love!

Lighting! Fighting! Heavy Metal in the night! Garden Gnomes! Are dying! By axes! Bleeding in the burning light! Face to face with an army from hell A sudden flash the battle is on So swing the axe and cast the spell Kill or be killed - dead and gone The taste of Metal is the taste of blood The enemies have got their reward We buried them in seas of mud They've felt the rage of my sword
