About Ivory Layne:
Ivory Layne is a fully-faceted, out of the box pop artist. Her story is a vibrant one, beginning as a dreamer in her hometown of Denver, North Carolina (the “Denver of the East”) and currently set in Nashville, TN. Her artistic vision could be caught on a vintage film reel. She caught the eye of Justin Timberlake who signed her to his artist development company, Villa 40. Though 2,000 miles away from Hollywood, Ivory Layne is directing her own cinematic life as a woman unabashedly dramatic and undeniably herself.

Everyone who are watching this, be proud, you might have found the most underrated song on KZbin

[@MrUltrapresident]

I agree so much

[@faithlwiltsie]

This showed up on my Spotify Discover Weekly thing and now I listen to it everyday. It's a shame no one really knows about it.

[@angelicacastillo999]

Faith Wiltsie Same. I am now obsessed with it

[@devindesilva123]

same here this is a epic song

[@RowanWasHere]

It's not on Spotify anymore and I am Greatly Disappointed. This has been on one of my playlists for a while now.

[@haleyallen5755]

@@RowanWasHere I was so disappointed when I saw it wasn’t on there anymore. I hope she puts it back eventually.

[@daynegraves1969]

It's currently on Spotify.... At least, that's how I found it a couple weeks ago, and can still listen to it.

[@robandsue25]

The greatest, most romantically constructed lyrics on over expectation ever written. Beautifully sung, with such musicality and finesse.

[@IvoryLayne]

Wow! That is some seriously high praise, Rob. So glad you love the song! 🙏🏻

[@LittleLife45]

Am I the only one who thinks that this song is powerful? I don't know how to describe it but this is perfect.

[@beccareamusic6538]

I have no idea if you still look at these comments but you are so incredibly gifted !! This is a super vague memory of mine but you used to sing and play at my church’s youth group, and I remember being in my first week of middle school when you played there for the last time before heading to Nashville. I was so starstruck, your playing and singing was so beautiful! So glad to see you’ve really made a big career for yourself!

[@WardDurossette]

I did an Amazon Music search for the word "Superman" and was listening to all the found songs like they were a playlist. When this song started my ears perked up. When I heard the message in the lyrics I thought "wow, I have been that guy, just a weak human with flaws, unable to meet other's or my own expectations". Beautiful song.

[@scarlettfitzgerald1473]

Ive been listening to this song for years, plus others. It seriously still gives me chills. Just sent it to q101 and praying they find you!!!

[@kingreynard9163]

*Majestic.* One of the best songs I've ever heard before. I wish it would get the views it deserves, songs like these are really rare to find... This single song alone makes me want to buy the full album.

[@mollybird3150]

TOTALLY AGREE!!!

[@kingreynard9163]

Molly Bird Are there any more songs then just these three? I've searched and have had no luck thus far.

[@mollybird3150]

I think so

[@mollybird3150]

It is on Spotify ( music app for free ) do you have an account?

[@kingreynard9163]

Molly Bird no I don't have one, but I'll check it out. Thanks! =)

[@ladyerina8462]

This song reminds me of the movie High Society (or The Philadelphia Story, your choice). The Grace Kelly character hates the Bing character because she thought he was some ‘Superman’ and married him, then realized he was ‘awful’ and divorced him. But in the course of the movie you realize she held him (and everyone else) up to Superman standards which created extreme sadness in her life, as no one is perfect. Thank you, Ivory Layne, such a good song!

[@elizabethbrandt8642]

"Who does he think he is?" and "Who is he?" are two very different questions. Both show up in this song, but what makes it great is that "Who do I think he is? and "Who am I?" are the bigger questions within.

[@WonderMe92]

this always makes me feel something amazing

[@imhaunted1853]

This song actually gave my an awsome art idea! So beautiful!

[@harshaaryan5744]

this has to be one of the best songs, i have ever heard in KZbin.

[@j.petion5926]

seriously who are you ivory lane, your music is like my favorite thing right now

[@alex16798]

Found this song my freshman year of college, listened to it every day walking across campus. Got me through so much. So intensely, beautifully written. Still beautiful to this day - will always be one of my favorites.

What happened to the boy I knew? He promised me his love was true Supposed to be a man But his little plan had fell through The one who used to tell me jokes Was popular with all my folks Had everybody fooled ‘cause he was so cool Now it's up in smoke What happened to my childhood dream Your language I no longer speak How come you never talk to me? My telephone never rings I wish I'd known that you would mean To let me go, I was oblivious You were up on a pedestal And I could not ring you in

[@muffins0217]

But you fell short 'Cause you needed lungs to breath And you can't fly Look with eyes like laser beams And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me But you were caught in the clouds And I was left on the ground (Is it a bird or just a plane Is it a bird or a plane Is it a bird or just a plane Is it a bird or a plane) What happened to the boy I knew The one I thought had hung the moon Supposed he was a man But one stroke of his hand And I'm painted blue What happened to my childhood dream Your language I no longer speak How come you never talk to me? And my telephone never rings

[@muffins0217]

+Sam Butler I wish I'd krnown that you would mean To let me go, I was oblivious You were up on a pedestal And I could not ring you in But you fell short 'Cause you needed lungs to breath And you can't fly Look with eyes like laser beams And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me But you were caught in the clouds Oh, You fell short 'Cause you needed lungs to breath And you can't fly Look with eyes like laser beams And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me But you were caught in the clouds You can't read the thoughts That form inside my head And you aren't strong enough To save my soul from dead Then you can't keep my heart From being ripped to shreds

[@muffins0217]

+Sam Butler I was wrong to alter reality I made you some Superman you couldn't be All this time, oh, I truly did believe That you got caught in the clouds I wish you'd known that I would mean To fall in love Were you oblivious? You were high in the atmosphere I disappear below But you fell short 'Cause you needed lungs to breath And you can't fly Look with eyes like laser beams And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me But you were caught in the clouds Oh, You fell short 'Cause you needed lungs to breath And you can't fly Look with eyes like laser beams And I was blind for wanting you to rescue me But you were caught in the clouds Oh You got caught in the clouds, oh

+Sam Butler And I don't know myself now, no Is it a bird or just a plane Is it a bird or a plane Is it a bird or just a plane Is it a bird or a plane

[@elliewill5097]

actually it's *but his little plan it fell through * cause then it sounds like his little plan-et fell through. it's word play,she's comparing this boy with clark kent (superman)

[@sammieortiz7428]

This song gives me the feels man! It's so beautiful and perfect for the typical hopeless romantic.

[@mbilmey]

Gorgeous, underrated, and relatable. One of few songs I'll binge on repeat. I love that it's upbeat and doesn't place blame solely on one person while still expressing the pain.

[@perdedoronline]

No way! This came out almost 10 years ago 😱

[@CreativeCrafties]

Your voice is so unique! I first heard your song 'Something's Gonna Happen' on a commercial. The sound of the song drew me to find you. (I just HAD to hear the full song!) I love, love love that song now!! Just today I decided to listen to another one of your songs, so I clicked on Superman. First of all, wow. You are truly amazing and talented. Your voice is so beautiful, and I am shocked that your video only has 900 views. Second, the sound of the song is so beautiful. I feel like I'm going through what you are singing about. The lyrics really connect. You are one of the most talented people I have ever heard, and I just wanted to let you know. Keep doing what you are doing, because you are truly amazing! I can't wait to listen to more of your music! :)

Please does anyone jave the lyrics to this song I need them ASAP it's so incredible

[@lunararc3091]

I love this song but is it calling herself out or calling him out?

[@Bananaboatfloat123]

I think at first she was calling him out then she called herself out...I'm not sure though.

[@emilytherecker]

Sary Morales I'd say its both. She's understanding that she had unreasonably high expectations for him, but is also saying that he wasn't really who she thought he was. He put up a perfect front, but the facade was only skin deep.

[@keeleycurtis1954]
