Amjad Mrad I listened to it and really liked it. :)

3 years later and still so damn good and it's still a tragedy this hasn't been officially released.

[@jordandelattre8203]

I know, it's literally one of my favorites of hers!

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

[@liz4706]

i swear to god orla is so underrated ugh she deserves more more moree

[@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

[@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 ;)

[@brancozfj]

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

[@jerrytang5100]

This has just made my day 😂 like I got data no thanks 😂

[@datcajundude3187]

Would make a great parody song lol

[@MianCowell]

Wifi and you, it's just 4G and me

[@stomachfat]

hahah the lyrics would be controversial if it were that XD

[@NickMirambeau]

[@elegy69]

why is this masterpiece still not on spotify? :(

[@AndyMcBlane]

Spotify please :)

[@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

[@moonzter]

i love your original music, it's so edgy yet girly and cool and spunky and all the right things so tyvm

[@mentaflorida1131]

yesssssss so true

[@darwindeeez]

new half.alive song reminding me of this one. vocal gives me chills the way it sits in orla's range

[@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. :)

[@erinm3450]

EVERY new song you make instantly becomes my new jam! You fricken rock the music industry!

[@teodoras9611]

erin m rock the music industry :D the unintentional puns are the best

[@erinm3450]

Teodora S little did you know it was not a mistake;))

[@jackk7106]

Like many other comments on here... was really hoping this was officially released! Maybe there's some magic to it being a rare little KZbin gem. I love how it's so bare yet amazingly catchy, your voice amd songwriting is incredible Orla! If you do ever release this then don't change anything!! :):):)

[@jennamomenna5750]

Very much agree. I wish someone would put it on spotify as a podcast so we could still listen

[@SquishSquish]

how can people just write such amazing songs like this? I don't get it

[@alyssavocadoo]

I know right!!

[@ToniSmithS]

okjess check out my original song if you have time ! :)

[@WallFrank]

因为心中的爱和光

[@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.

[@nikorenee7148]

Your facial expressions are the best Ohmygod. Also the little bit where you rock back is my favorite and I always get chills during the chorus, it’s so beautiful.

[@lilyblythe4905]

I’ve listened to this like a million times. I’m addicted

[@emroden6670]

I wish we had more official releases of the original songs on youtube! I love this song and imposter so much

[@aprpingui]

The 1975 vibes are here, i love your music. You're gonna go far.

[@jfkesq]

1975 ah, yes.......

[@WhittlingWizard]

This is honestly insane. The melody, the instruments - it all just fits perfectly 😩 Proud patreon ✌🏻

[@davidoneill7752]

For the love of gawd, please release this

[@gabim8105]

[@StephenKemmann-lane]

I found this song again having first heard it years ago, just as good to hear it now. Lovely voice and lyrics

[@StarshipSophie22]

this song has me wiggling

[@glittermonster2246]

Orla your lyrics have this magical way of taking me to an exact memory or feeling, and every song is different. You write trauma in such beautifully eloquent ways.

[@samer1394]

Smashing it like always

[@badtiimes]

i will actually buy your album in a heartbeat

[@lydiarhiannon624]

Ngl this is my absolute favourite song of yours. Whenever i need a good strong song to sing and belt my heart out, this has been my song of choice for many years now. Chefs kiss *mwah*

[@elle9092]

Wow, just discovered your work and I'm listening my way through your library. You have such a gorgeous and exceptional voice and you are such a talented writer/composer. The world needs more artists like you!

[@thankstswift3260]

4 years later and still wishing this was on Spotify 😭🙏🏽

[@AnotherOpinion1997]

Still wishing this made an album or ep of yours. I come back to this regularly :)

[@edensylvester13]

LYRICS (verse 1) Nightmare I saw you standing, you were right there And I surrender Your face is just how I remember (pre-chorus) To think about it now, think about it now You threw me overboard, no hesitation And now you're trying to figure out, trying to figure out How to come back looking like a savior (chorus) And I I'm gonna be just fine Oh I don't need your lifeline I I'm gonna be just fine Oh I don't need your lifeline Tell me one more time how you're the one to save it all I'll tell you one more time how you're the one that made me fall Oh I don't need your lifeline (verse 2) Flashback Oh, how I used to wish that you would come back But now I'm past hurt So it's strange to see you crawl out of the woodwork (pre-chorus) Oh to think about it now, think about it now You threw me overboard, no hesitation And now you're trying to figure out, trying to figure out How to come back looking like a savior (chorus) And I I'm gonna be just fine Oh I don't need your lifeline I I'm gonna be just fine Oh I don't need your lifeline Tell me one more time how you're the one to save it all I'll tell you one more time how you're the one that made me fall Oh I don't need your lifeline (snazzy guitar break) (bridge) And now you cast your rope Like it's some kind of joke Like you forgot what happened here Why do you just show up When you're down on your luck And when you've got no ship to steer (chorus) And I I'm gonna be just fine Oh I don't need your lifeline I I'm gonna be just fine Oh I don't need your lifeline Tell me one more time how you're the one to save it all Oh I'll tell you one more time that you're the one that made me fall Oh I don't need your lifeline No, no, no I don't need your lifeline No, no, no I don't need your lifeline No, no, no I don't need your lifeline No, no, no I don't need your lifeline

[@aka4146]

IT almost looks like your in a trance during your songs. the more I watch your videos and see the way you end the songs its like your poping out of it.you seem to have total control of everything, the singing ,playing,backbeat.lyrics,going in and out of the chours,and the bridge.love the bridge in this song its just kickass good.what ever it is you have I wish I had it.

[@brandoncalvert8379]

This is my favorite song I've heard of yours, like from the first listen

[@nmollyful]

the sound of that guitar combined with your voice is just so heavenly

[@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 ^.^

[@aishahutomo2549]

Its been three years and i still think this should be on spotify any one who disagrees fight me

[@disgustingpulls]

@Aishah Utomo I got your back!

[@angeredcheese1332]

This song is a year old but still the best to come from youtube, my god I wish I would’ve found you earlier, you are the GOAT

[@WouterWeggelaar]

So, the infamous lamp mic stand strikes again ;) Next time, tape the phone down as well.

[@james6401]

Did she really record that using spit, a stick, sellotape etc??!

The last 3 years have been blessed since this song came out

NEEDD THIS ON SPOTIFY GIVE IT TO USSSS

[@JyojyoG]

Man this is great. everything so perfectly tied together but also so free. also this song made me feel a bunch of feelings really really strongly so cheers for that.

[@SoularSlothesk]

It feels like a crime that this song is not on spotify. This song was how I discovered you and fell in love with the way you write and perform music. Orla, you are my music crush ngl

[@esidharta]

This is really awesome. I wished you released this on an album.

[@魚蛋-m8k]

OMG that bridge is amazing.....

[@nataliemaxey7796]

this is honestly amazing, I've been thinking about this song all week

[@BethCoppard15]

This song is stuck in my head after just one listen & I love it!

[@celinebarrera3101]

I’m glad I finally decided to be brave like you and so many others, and write and post a song. You are great with such a lovely voice, wish I had that.

[@AmyNaylorMusic]

Dat bass though. Love your drum machine. Groovy as. Production is on point too. Ace.

[@al9387]

How do you do it?! Every single one of your songs is mindblowingly good! I love it all! 😍

[@skaultra2095]

I genuinely love every and each track of yours and I'm begging for the day where you get to make a CD, 'cause I AM gonna buy it. With my father's money. He's a fan too.

[@khadijamamouni5976]

THIS IS THE BEST ORIGINAL I'VE HEARD IN SO MUCH THIS IS SO GOOD OMG I'M FALLING APART

[@naomiazul.]

I have been listening to his on repeat lately, no word of a lie x

[@ChipMatthews]

I don't listen to a lot of pop but I stumbled on this a week or so ago and I can't stop coming back to it... like several times a day. This is a brilliantly well crafted pop song. There's this intoxicating blend of rage and joy in the delivery. I can't get it out of my head, and I'm totally fine with that. Why Am I Like This, Impossible, Heart Between My Teeth, I Go Crazy, and Lonely People are also great. Keep on being amazing.

[@guitarplayr721]

Orla your rhythm is incredible. My favorite part of your music.

[@AthAthanasius]

Why can't I hit the 'like' button 10 billion times and have them all count? I'm always so enchanted with how Orla looks whilst singing that this time I closed my eyes for about half the song to ensure I was properly experiencing it. Oh that voice

[@emblasdale]

I come back to this all the time. incredible song x

[@caseythomas9613]

Super talented.... amazing musical songwriting and singing. I love her

[@DFTBAndy]

Hey Orla! Just wanted to say it was awesome talking to you and seeing you perform at SitC :) Your music is amazing!

[@andreplante9]

So much presence... how can you pass through the screen like this and touch my heart every single time I see you? Love your voice, your music...Love you not as man love a woman but more like a sensitive human been who recognize an other one. Sincerely André

This is absolutely beautiful .This shed a bit of light in my life .

[@jessicalopez5463]

LOVE IT! Really hope this one gets a proper production, there's something special about it and I just want to listen to it over and over! awesome job :D Also, im sure the guys at Aston will be pleased to see their mic getting used with such an... innovative mic stand :)

[@SoniaOReilly]

Orla Gartl strikes again with a poorly filmed video and a poorly taped mic!! She can't even sin- I CAN'T DO IT SORRY ORLA I CAN'T LEAVE A MEAN COMMENT!! Here's the lyrics btw: v1: Nightmare, I saw you standing you were right there And I surrender, your face is just how I remember PRE: To think about it now You threw me overboard, no hesitation And now you're trying to figure out How to come back looking like a saviour CHORUS: And I I'm gonna be just fine, no I don't need your lifeline I, I'm gonna be just fine, no I don't need your lifeline Tell me one more time how you're the one to save it all I'll tell you one more time how you're the one that made me fall No I don't need your lifeline v2: Flashback, oh how I used to wish that you would come back But now I'm past hurt, so it's strange to see you crawl out of the woodwork (pre) (chorus) bridge: Now you cast your rope, like it's all just a joke Like you forgot what happened here Why do you just show up when you're down on your luck And when you've got no ship to steer (chorus) love ya ginge xx
