Lyrics:
Just like in the movies
It starts to rain
We're the broken beauties
Blindfolded minds collide and we fall
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our stories after the end
Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Memories in photos
Too easy to rewrite
Left us lonely shadows
Holding each other tight and we fall
When the curtain drops
Our touch is just a touch
Not like in the movies
Our stories after the end
Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Think we got it but we're made of a dream
Cause we've got a feeling of what we could be
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Think we got it but we're made of a dream
Cause we've got a feeling of what we could be
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
Not like in the movies
Like strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Strangers
Perfect pretenders
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
It could never be us, eh
Just you and I
Think we got it but we're made of a dream
Cause we've got a feeling of what we could be
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Think we got it but we're made of a dream
Cause we've got a feeling of what we could be
I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone
Strangers
(Think we got it but we're made of a dream
Cause we've got a feeling of what we could be)
Perfect pretenders
(I don't want you, all you want is someone
Going home together to forget we're alone)
We're falling head over heels
For something that ain't real
(Think we got it but we're made of a dream
Cause we've got a feeling of what we could be)
It could never be us, eh
(I don't want you, all you want is someone)
Just you and I

[@CookieCreamCrumble]

she owned that stage. never heard of her before but now im a new fan.

[@melcatley3437]

CookieCreamCrumble me too! I love seeing something fresh and unique like her

[@ThePrestd]

Search for her Jools Holland performance...

[@kevinhenderson3994]

glastonbury last year awesome

[@jellymax9032]

Never heard of her ether

[@silvesterheuvelink3702]

Damn that one gave me goosbumbs! Thanks for mentioning that one.

[@BoyFromTheOtherSide]

I love it when you can tell Graham genuinely loves the artist he has on

[@kalevala29]

he almost always does. he must pick them. and he has great musical guests

[@AlanEnnis-nx1pi]

Bang bosh❤

[@lotionspotions3143]

Loved her performance and natural look - such a great role model for teens

[@RetroGamerVX]

Yes, such a nice change to see a lady just wearing jeans, t-shirt and minimum make up, always says to me that they are confident with who they are, not pretending to be somebody who they are not, very refreshing and welcome :o)

[@oskarhagen4392]

its a normal look in Norway. xD

[@carolinedaly4852]

One of the best performances I have seen on the Graham Norton show. And what a great role model for young girls, actually wearing normal clothes!

[@lowrismith2731]

+caroline daly I know. most celebs wear really weird clothes but I love how normal hers are. I sing this song whenever it comes on❤❤❤😍😍😍😙😙

[@tullinj18]

What Oskar is saying is not true.

[@charlenevanwyk7498]

Wow. She sounds exactly the same live as in the recording. That's rare and very impressive.

[@migleu.5536]

charlene van wyk Well actually she doesn't.. Her voice is not as clear, not as strong, not as smooth as in the recording. Not hating tho, I think she is very unique

[@michaelgrimes528]

She is unique,but the thing is as a media student,I can tell that performance is pre recorded before the actual show started,that's doesn't take away the fact that the performance was amazing in every sense from the camera work to the vocals

[@trackerjacker0]

I watched her last night, and she sounded pretty amazing, more stronger than she is in this performance.

[@nikbicanski8995]

Michael Grimes just curious as a musician myself, how are you sure? I mean, I agree but I can’t pinpoint why

[@SoundToyzAreUs]

@@migleu.5536 Thats due to mixing. But its spot on in timing and tuning

[@RetroGamerVX]

Very refreshing, I love it, jeans, t-shirt, minimum make up, I am who I am, I'll dance how I want, take it or leave it, breaking the mold, wish more artists were as natural as Sigrid, amazing, it's how more should be, so natural :o)

[@kimgrefslie7654]

RetroGamerVX it is called being scandinavian ;)

[@RetroGamerVX]

Zayletsplay WOT So true lol

[@cmal90]

I was just about to type the same, couldn't agree more so refreshing

[@aBunnyThatWillChewOnYourCables]

I wish that not only more artists should be more natural like Sigrid, but also that more people could be themseves instead of pretending to be someone else. I'm bored of meeting people who just follow the crowd all the time. I can understand fashion to some extent but, the way people, especially teenagers, literally everything they do , their behaviour etc. just to follow the crowd. It makes the world monotonous and we need some originality in our world. Sadly, there's a lack of it. I wish I could meet someone like Sigrid in real life, they would make a great friend for life.

[@RetroGamerVX]

Both my wife and a female friend are exactly like her, don't dress up unless needed and don't wear make up unless going out for the evening, and even then, it's very light :o)

[@fauldsa]

Her voice live sounds amazing & she has some sweet attitude about her too.

[@alexmccullen8656]

Her voice sounds so different live

[@MrEL91N]

You can hear her accent even more when she sings live. I love it.

[@particulate641]

Yeah, much better than the music video. I don't know what they did with her voice in production, but they need to leave it alone.

[@arcanekand]

yeah just seen her live at parkfest she is great live

[@mitalichaudhary1855]

some of the replies don't get the comment. it's when he said "have rest and eat stuff" acting like her father​. ( soooo sweet of him 🤗😊😊

[@trevit92]

I love her accent its so amazing!!

[@richshackleton8104]

Agreed. You can hear her South African accent breaking through

[@bujangga8435]

The drummer guy is my spirit animal

[@Veldtian1]

Loooooool.....

[@anaccount8474]

She's so refreshing, really different. When you see her sitting there, you think it's just some kid off the street. Then she sings and dances - totally amazing. I love how natural she is, no BS, just a girl in jeans and a t-shirt singing her heart out. Amazing song as well, can't get it out my head.

[@SakuraUploads]

My little brother when he saw the music video "She looks like just some random girl who was sat at a bus stop and decided to get up and sing and dance"

[@18gangsosa60]

Every girl in Norway has the same outfit as her

[@YurikoKataoka]

sebbe Lucky for you I love this outfit. In my country everyone is wearing shitty training suits or ugly skinny jeans

[@R.E.HILL_]

sebbe lol... what a funny bullshiter..

[@ronjakh]

she is just a regular kid off the street. just a regular kid who is the coolest chick ✌️ jusssst walked through my door coming from one of her concerts and she is just amazing. effortlessly cool and laid back. she wore jeans, a baggy knitted jumper and a wooly hat on stage, and no makeup. just her on stage, dancing, singing....and it was the best show i’ve seen in years!

[@WaitingForTheHook]

Seeing all these people say they're new fans of hers is AWESOME. She deserves it. I've been in love with her EP for about a year now. She's incredible.

[@em8136]

Christian bojack is that you

[@jackp4709]

Aha I'm so happy you made this comment, it's so much better to welcome new fans instead of being all like "I liked her before all of you" kinda thing :)

[@doerian5483]

Preedy He combined both of that!

[@doerian5483]

TheGodEmperorofMankind he's not saying so either.

[@WaitingForTheHook]

TheGodEmperorofMankind no I’m not? my god; KZbin comments are cancer.

[@VENIVIDIVICl]

love the way she moves

[@VENIVIDIVICl]

dunno mate, there's something innocent about the way she moves that to think it's sexy would be failing her. she's like the girl next door you accidentally catch dancing in her mirror like a dork before bed

[@filthyhuman3018]

Me too, but she needs new jeans.

[@mjselvig]

Her entire performance of Don't Kill My Vibe is so fun!

[@erlandnettum6680]

That is actually the height of fassion for Norwegian youngsters these days. A retro look back to the classic 501s of the eighties kinda thing.

[@sleepy7798]

Love how Liam Neeson is being all protective, must be all those Taken movies

[@vikizamborova3946]

Gina T. What why Liam Neeson?

[@neoepicurean3772]

Good advice too. There's a lot of fresh faced talent that gets pushed hard, but they get exhausted and tired of it all if they don't look after the basics, like food and rest.

[@TheMagicCardTraderUK]

"If you don't eat. I will look for you I WILL find you ....and I will feed you"

[@scott4361]

BRILLIANT :D

[@benporter3392]

I really don't know why he said that 😂

[@orognli]

Great song. She looks so natural......really love her style....a great reaction to all the false glamour......

[@MaleneMarkussenMusic]

Agree! She is a good role model for young people! You can just be you, and you are beautiful!

[@KajaSofieS]

Fan av artister som sminker seg og. Men er nok veldig bra for ungdom å ha et forbilde som ikke har 3kg sminke… jenter på ungdomsskolen ser jo ut som de er i slutten av tjueåra

[@arothmanmusic]

Kasper Waag. I saw Sigrid live this fall and he killed it there too. He's seriously solid.

[@Scottydelsumo]

[@jamesjemo4954]

[@gabriellarkin8751]

[@TheBrainsugarfreeze]

This is so fresh and refreshing. I loved her dance! I wish there could be more performances like this one.

[@kvinettaf09]

Oana Costache look up her live performances here on KZbin if you like! She's wonderful!! :)

[@frankoceanstanaccount7126]

Lorde, Sigrid and Aurora dancing at the same time in a stage... It would be amazing to see!

[@madwiganer]

Absolutely smashed that performance, no one there expected that and the second of silence was everyone thinking ... Wow and the drummer was on point 👌

[@cvsdigital]

I've watched this many, many times over the years: I find myself grinning like an idiot at the end - it's so good.

[@jessica5497]

[@poisonouslove2349]

[@Arne_Andersen]

Sigrid, well there you have a real artist...not a fake bone in her, pure soul and heart.

[@MaleneMarkussenMusic]

I know! Refreshing right? :)

[@XXgenderloveXY]

You don't know that. There isn't a person alive who isn't superficial in some way. She does seem very genuine, but pure? No one is pure. Maybe at conception, but after that no

[@eyeofbast]

Refreshing to see a young artist who can actually sing without synthetic help. Nice.

[@liamfinlay2714]

This is pure class Cherries in the winter time Apples in the fall If don't hear music again I will never again at all X

[@PeteNaess]

Perfect. Fantastic drummer.

[@thefa2073]

She's amazing. Such a breath of fresh air. She's beautiful without the flashy, revealing clothing, she's genuine, and her talent (especially live) is insane. Thank you, Norway.

[@tholebutenberg4555]

She and Magnus Carlsen ^^ thx a lot Norway!

[@stianstrand8473]

Such a great girl with an awesome energy. A rare talent..

[@richardcurrie4038]

This was the first time I saw Sigrid and was blown away by her performance as well as her natural happiness. I've been a fan ever since. She's definitely changed a lot since this performance. Back then, she was super cool and confident, but now, three years later, she is a vocal commander and a presidential performer. Sigrid is an outstanding and timeless artist. My dream is to watch her perform live once we can all go to concerts again!

[@garymiddleton8147]

As soon as i saw this performance i knew she was going to be a massive star, never heard of her before but wow

[@patrickwatson5173]

Love the way Graham Norton says brilliant, brilliant, brilliant cos that’s exactly what she was ❤️

[@Aasenzeng]

I love her, the energy. God!!! No fancy choreography or costume just the pure joy and the rhythm!

[@MrStrido]

Effortlessly cool.

[@larsbee]

that drummer .... damn he is alive ... what an awesome beat....

[@kellyturton5558]

Watched this last night and totally blown away - what a cracking song and fabulously performed.

[@Danielle-go4nd]

Love the way she dances

[@christophschneider4852]

Liam Neeson gave this advice to 'eat and rest', because it was kind of unsentimental of the anchorman to tell Sigrid to 'dream bigger', well it was just a fun remark. It was in that context that Liam wanted to help Sigrid out, showing empathy. The message was clear enough, Sigrid understood very well.

[@Unintelligentful]

You’re overthinking.

[@angelinawip822]

She's amazing singing live!!!

[@lizzieo4194]

I dont know who she is but I already love her for being so natural and laid back and more of herself, she's a perfect role model for teens everywhere

[@doerian5483]

Subtitles called her SeaWeed 😂 😂 😂

😂😂😂😂Lol more like squid 😂😂😂😂❤ Good one!! 😂😂

[@youknowwhatyoureabsolutely4307]

SeaWeed Squad pull thru 😎

[@annieball934]

Doerian 😂😂😂

[@danzai]

its to do with graham norton's weird pronunciation of her name. It's either pronounced as its spelt in english (how she had introduced herself a number of times), and alternatively the Norwegian way without the "D".. but there's no version of that sounds like Graham's weird version

[@lunaclawlovegood6826]

Doerian lol

[@dustbomb1026]

Sensational stuff. This girl is a breath of fresh air to the music industry. No backing dancers, pyrotechnics, or the like... just her, doing her stuff, in the clothes she wore on the plane, owning the stage. Awesome.

[@Trisyyiaa]

[@JabezGill]

Most endearing artist interview ever

[@KariAaraas100]

She's s awesome!

[@Tri_monster]

The way she dances so confidently while singing this and seems to have so much fun doing it makes it feel wrong not to dance while singing this. Literally I was singing this song the other day because it's an amazing song that got stuck in head. And I couldn't resist dancing and I'm not a dancer in any way.

[@dmx125]

One of the best performances on the show👍

[@MegaAzevedo123]

simple, refreshing, AAAAAMAZING voice, humble, awesome performer, beautiful, very friendly and polite. The music industry needs more artists like Sigrid! 😊💙🙌🏻

This totally blew me away when I saw it on the Graham Norton show on Friday evening. Really seriously good!

[@monanegi8244]

I love that she dresses like a normal teenager. With Taylor she has always dressed like a diva. This one makes it easy for young kids to connect with her.

Very different cinematography, beautifully executed. Especially the shot with the audience and the guests. Initially thought I wouldn’t like it, she looked like a kid who works for Starbucks. But she is a great performer.

the strange pan across cut was obviously a re-take because the keyboards arpeggios wouldn't stay in sync! So I guess they cut and re-started in the middle. Smartly hidden. After that the arpeggios start going out again and you can see her start to roll her eyes but they keep going and he makes it.. :) It's actually a really tricky business to trigger an arpeggiator on time while playing live, it can easily slip out

[@sophierivkah3596]

Her voice is incredible

[@kenmannagh7788]

I think the word WOW explains this amazing talent . Don't ever change Sigrid just get better and better which you will . The simplicity of this and yet profound talent is so refreshing in a World of plastic and studio music , raw and real and a voice not contorted to sound different but a genuine one . Rave on Sigrid Solbakk Raabe.
