“We all become our mother in the end” -why would you do this to me, Orla 😭

[@Schmeephilis13]

So you can skip a beat in the bloodline

[@birdsfly8283]

@@Schmeephilis13 hahahahha 😄

[@yellownick15]

As a guy with a loving but complicated relationship with my parents, this song hits a really special chord in my soul. What an excellent album Orla, I loved (and love) being part of your journey. So incredibly excited for you and what's coming!

[@okyes2753]

here besties. some lyrics to psychoanalyze your relation to [Verse 1] I think it's kinda fun to trace it Back to where it all began Back in Dublin, in the kitchen Up late talking to my mam She was standing by the oven A strong and stoic woman I saw her as an equal, as a friend And I saw myself inside her, a sobering reminder We all become our mother in the end [Chorus] You can leave it all behind Skip a beat in the bloodline And you've been hiding all your life, it's time To skip a beat in the bloodline Oh, in the bloodline [Verse 2] I always feel like I'm the bad guy 'Cause I'm the one that upped and left It kind of feels like living two lives And always tryna catch your breath Now I've gotta go my own way Talk about a cliche Remember to call home on the weekend The radio is blaring We turn into my parents It goes dark, and then it starts, then it starts again [Chorus] You can leave it all behind Skip a beat in the bloodline And you've been hiding all your life, it's time To skip a beat in the bloodline Oh, in the bloodline Oh, in the bloodline [Outro] I don't wanna run away But you, you don't get me I, I keep it all in 'Cause we never talk about difficult things I don't wanna run away But you, you don't get me I, I keep it all in 'Cause we never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things We never talk about difficult things

[@alisondices]

THIS ALBUM HAS NO SKIPS IM GOING TO BE LISTENING TO THIS ON REPEAT

[@Dylan-pq3ny]

As an Irish guy I feel this song on another, heartbreaking, level. Family is such a prominent thing in this country but it's always so hard to connect with your parents especially when you want to branch out and do your own thing in such a small country

[@mayaron]

This album is so good, every single song is unique and has its own meaning, truly talented

[@darshanmerch]

Can we get an extended version of Difficult Things! I can't get over that song!

[@charlottedrcleary4358]

Just have to note my love for the ‘ooh’ motif during the chorus guitar/bass riffs in Bloodline and how it reprises later in Difficult Things to create this epic link between the two melodies but slower and more desperately deliberate. Just epic, what a track to finish this rocket of a record ❤️

[@sama6150]

I can only aspire to be as cool as Orla playing guitar

[@danielmunguia1928]

i'd even settle just with shaking my head to the rhythm the same way she does c':

[@CGExp]

I think we lost when she played the ukulele as a kid in the beginning of the video

[@mysss29]

what a mood

[@murph.y]

bruh that chord into the chorus is NASTY holy shit

[@LemonSte]

When little orla says "the photograph when you take it" her little accent is so cuteee

[@emmadunne2290]

perfect ending to a perfect album

[@cephi]

correct

[@whocaress33]

Orla low key made a music video for EVERY SONG ON THE ALBUM and I’m kinda here for it.

[@wootwoot3163]

a banger song as always (੭ ᐕ)੭ but what exactly does skip a beat in the bloodline mean?

[@raining214]

Miss out on becoming like your parents? Try and break free from the bad things they ingrained in you (and that their parents ingrained in them?)? Idk

[@kaepiper]

to do your own thing and not do what everyone else in your family did or what you parents did that can be anything depending on your situation

[@stefan-hm6ui]

My friend tweeted about Orla randomly and I decided to check her out. Wow! Her songwriting, singing - everything is incredible and meaningful.

[@YanelArez]

all I want for christmas is a full version of difficult things

[@pikasfed]

amen

[@captaindom2000]

First hell yeah

[@GretaJoe]

difficult things is my favorite

[@graceoline]

every time I hear a new Orla song it instantly becomes my new favorite. this one, especially lyrically, resonates with me on a level that's hard to put into words- and I haven't even heard the rest of the album yet !!! ahhh what a time to be alive ♥️

[@eyemagistus]

Simply brilliant! Something everyone struggles with. I did more than skip a beat, I ended the “bloodline.”

[@p1ratesarrawesome]

This is the perfect song for escaping narcissistic parental abuse

[@dannymantra8569]

The first one being good, really sets up the rest of the album! Orla I'm so proud of you!!!!

[@frozencheeks]

Waiting for my record to arrive! Love you Orla!

[@skylxykt8387]

I just listened to this whole album twice in a row and I cannot stress enough how much I absolute LOVE it! Every single song sounds amazing and is so well written, performed, and produced. This song specifically, in addition to so many others on the album, resonates so much with me. Congrats on creating such a beautiful, awesome album! I love every bit of it and wish you so much love and success

[@skylxykt8387]

Also, this album is going to be the soundtrack of my life for quite a while lol :D

[@마시멜로냥-x8g]

I sincerely love your honesty in your songs

[@IzzySaintOnge]

She saved the best for last 🤩

[@elianie2657]

after watching all of these videos, im suddenly feeling so incredibly inspired omg

[@antoniagwenyth9566]

Gah WHAT A SONG

[@hunterhoward9731]

I love this. It has such a coming of age feeling that really inspires me and makes me want to reflect! Thank you Orla for another amazing song!!!

[@alecthrow]

Amazing....Orla you deserve the world!!

[@TimothymakeupsDitzler]

WOW! This was so amazing Orla! What a wonderful human you are

[@soursunday4667]

[@fearsomefivefilms]

Ope I'm here because my family is going through a real tough patch and this song is holding me up a bit.

[@zenthiat2292]

[@tosmile5143]

We all become our mother in the end. Kjsdbvjbxzha Orla this is a hate crime. How can you call out my worst fear casually like that?!?! Im suing

[@beth2851]

"a sobering reminder that we all become our mothers in the end" *screeches*

[@pepeira]

oooh, this one hits the spot, mmmhm, delicious

[@raullara9015]

this is my favorite, it hit the spot

[@kajalkumari-cc7ve]

You are very coolll. I literally love you and this album

[@Iluvthe1960s]

I will never be my mother (not because I’m a bloke) I loved her but I will never be like she was but I guess it’s not for me to say maybe I am …. I need to go to bed!

[@caitiemoriarty]

This is so so good

[@vickykim5201]

DAMN this is good.

[@FrauMar]

Orla is my favourite woman on the internet - (for) ever!!!!!!!!

[@extravagant_penguin]

You’re so fucking cool Orla

[@sarahjudith8433]

OH MY GOSH YEEEESS I just sat here with my mouth wide open and started to cry a little because you just explained what Im going through rn so perefectly. Im amazed. Edit: Taking the oppurtunity to wish everyone who´s reading this all the best! Love from Germany

[@MoreToThePicture]

Great song

[@scribbled634]

as someone who has mommy issues i relate to this, sometimes i wanna skip a beat in my bloodline

[@theinventor838]

This museum is not obsolete

[@ishaalimtiaz6715]

I love it so much

[@weirdairportdude7215]

☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

[@daniemotioninsound]

Thank you for sharing your soul in music. I just danced and cried to this song and it was cathartic. I resonate with this on so many levels I can't describe. ❤️

[@juliapacheco691]

This album is MAGICAL Orla THANKS! YOU ARE AMAZING!!

[@sboszormenyi5120]

Is it a left handed guitar used up-side-down or a normal one stringed in the opposite order? Whichever it is my mind slowly blown as I watched Orla playing that way.

[@bodimbogyim]

i adore her

[@komaldsouza6725]

I love this so much, i've been listening to it almost everyday!!

[@amandawrobel4745]

I relate to this song more than ANYTHING I stg

[@isaacmr.trumpetmanbobonis]

Anyone here after Kung Fu?

[@GayCob1312]

this is such a banger omg😳

[@anissakilledyoux]

I appreciate music through a live performance to view the person beyond an aesthetic. But I love the original video idea❤
