I'm totally normal about this *chewing the wire of my headphones, eyes rolling to the back of my head, literally frothing at the mouth, fist pumping the air, high-fiving my cat, crying on the bathroom floor, even alone I judge myself, how embarrassing, no, I don't understand how to-* Anyways... ⭐STREAM “WASTED POTENTIAL” EVERYWHERE NOW ⭐ ffm.to/eirywp ⚡ PRE-SAVE MY DEBUT EP: SOLACE VALLEY ⚡ OUT 24TH FEB! ffm.to/solacevalley
Agreed, such a great lyric, I still remember how I felt the moment I turned eighteen, like suddenly I had to be such a different person from what I was like just a day before my bday
"Can you still make mistakes once you're above eighteen?" As a 19-year-old freshman in college, this is the question I keep asking myself. Your songs are just perfect for hitting me in the feels when I least expect it. I can't wait for the rest of your album!
When we're young, we cry, hoping that adulthood will give sense to our life. And as an adult, nothing makes much sense and crying isn't accepted anymore. This song hits really hard.
'Oh I don't understand anything anymore. So tired of this life - never here, never sure." That one hit me hard. I'm two weeks away from 42 and Im as messed up and nervous as I was at 17. This song is amazing, Eiry. Thank you.
Lyrics: Heard a saying once, “once you’re older you’ll understand what it means to be older” Well, I’m older now but all I am is bitter Wasted potential Oh I cried every night in my teenage years, never knew what it meant to be content Oh I don’t understand anything anymore So tired of this life, never here never sure (Oh I don’t understand anything anymore So tired of this life, never here never sure) Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor Even alone I judge myself, how embarrassing No, I don’t understand how to leave it alone Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone Guess it’s just wasted potential Guess it’s just wasted potential All my friends are busy, not like we used to be Finally understand the saying “young and free” No longer young in the eyes of society Can you still make mistakes once you’re above eighteen? Cried every night in my teenage years Never knew what it meant to be content Oh I don’t understand anything anymore So tired of this life, never here never sure (Oh I don’t understand anything anymore So tired of this life, never here never sure) Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor Even alone I judge myself how embarrassing No I don’t understand how to leave it alone Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone Guess it’s just wasted potential Guess it’s just wasted potential Oh I’m tired of getting up everyday pretending everything’s alright And I’m tired of screaming and crying quietly in my room until the sunrise And I’m tired of trying to fix somethings I didn’t break but broke anyways Yeah I’m tired of waiting for someone to see who I am and still decide to stay Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor Even alone, I judge myself how embarrassing No I don’t understand how to leave it alone Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor Even alone, I judge myself how embarrassing No I don’t understand how to leave it alone Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone Guess it’s just wasted potential Guess it’s just wasted potential
I absolutely adore this, as someone who’s turning 18 in a couple weeks and feeling intense pressure from my environment, it hits hard. I’ve been wrestling feelings of Wasted Potential for a while, and experiencing a lot of self doubt and uncertainty. Thank you for the beautiful music, I love the art too! ❤
Damn, love the lyrics. So many people act like the moment you become eighteen, your previous problems or insecurities just vanish, but, of course, that isn't the case.
That was beautifully sad. The line, "Can you make mistakes when your above 18?" Hits home so much. I get into arguments with people just because an adult doesn't mean you can't fuck up and shouldn't pay for it your whole life. I can't wait to hear the rest of the album. This is a must buy.
man, this hit me like a truck, running me over, leaving me on the street like one of these pictures of people laying on their back on a waterflooded street. it's fucking amazing. thank you so much for this.
I'll be turning 32 this year..... and this song made me look back at all the things I've done in my life....and i see my own wasted potential when i put the wants of others above my own wants and dreams.....this sone gave me a good cry an di cant wait for the full album to come out!
I don't know how I ended up here, but this is seriously amazing and I have listened to it nonstop for the last half hour, thank you for this breath of fresh air sound :)
I feel like this is so reflective of my own experience- mourning the "normal" childhood and adolescence that came so easily to others, being held to a standard of behavior that doesn't reflect who I truly am based on a gender that others perceive me to be, feeling a deep sense of loneliness despite being part of an online queer community, and constantly being conscious of my mistakes and shortcomings. Reinaeiry, you've captured such a personal yet relatable feeling and it's absolutely beautiful to witness. So excited to hear the rest of your work!!
If there's one thing beautifully illustrated by this comments is that the "normal" we see is just an average accumulation of what we all feel comfortable sharing with strangers. The best parts and funny oopsies. I barely know someone who thinks they fit their definition of normal, so fuck it and make it as unique and beautiful as we can, right? "Normal" is just an illusion of average.
This song is literally me. I lost my mom last year and I feel even more like a nobody with tons of wasted potential.....the only part of this song I can't relate to is having a bunch of friends that I'm "not the same" with. I just have one friend a few states away, I lost all my school friends and have no one locally. God knows am I worked to the bone, working as much overtime as I can stand, the max amount of hours a week my job will let me work - desperate to pay for this place by myself without my mom's help - alone, failing in every aspect of adulting but working...and even that isn't enough as I can't afford rent without the part of the rent my mom helped me with. Ugh, life.
Christ as someone whose nearly 30 and questioning a lot about my life and exhausted this hits hard Banging track eiry but then again I didn’t expect anything less from you and I’m extremely proud of you
Sjjdkskqkss REINAEIRY just know that your music is a testament to your creativity and hard work! So dont judge yourself so harshly and i know Singapore society is so competitive but you are enoughhh by just existing ❤❤❤❤ AHHHHHHH
Oh my god!!!! The visuals and song is so good!!! i can't express how i was waiting for any uploads from you. Thank you for making my life better with your songs and covers!💖
Girl, I love your voice so much❤ I'm very proud of you!! I'm hoping you get all the sucess you deserve!! And I'm glad that your song "empty spaces" of she-ra made I know you. Thanks for share your music with us. Love you! Kisses from Brazil ❤❤
It's never too late to turn things around if you just try. I know it may sound cheesy, but it took me ten years to get where I am today. A lot of it was hard to go through, and a lot of it was hard work, but I've done all I can with the people who supported me throughout my adult years
My friend sent me this song and he said "you must like it" I'm very curious what is this about and wow when I listening to this song for the first time I thought to myself "This is just like my life literally." Thank for the great songs. 👍
This song has wormed its way into my brain and it won’t be leaving any time soon! There’s some parts of this that just hit so deep and resonate so much. There’s such a strong ‘growing up with Asian parents and their expectations’ vibe to it that hits way too close to home. It’s also sung with such powerful emotion that I just want to wrap Reinaeiry up in a blanket and tell her everything’s gonna be ok
Ahhhh I love it !!! It sounds amazing !!! The lyrics really hit, it's honestly both sad and comforting that so many young people share these thoughts and feelings, but hey why not make a banger song out of them, right? I'm so excited, I can't wait to hear the rest of the ep !!
I had thought about writing something when this first released but I couldn't compose my emotions and thoughts for a whole month. You've really become your own artist and I really admire the improvement you can hear from your previous covers to the confidence you exert over your very first(?) and very new album, Solace Valley. It's a shaky platform to stand on, and as an artist myself, I can relate to the feeling of producing original content versus covers of popular songs that'll gain traction easier. This album is a fantastic demonstration of both your passion as an artist and the direction that you can take your creativity. Just as is mentioned in Wasted Potential, human life truly is an experience of crying on the bathroom floor, but the next moments of victory should be savored as well, when you finish climbing this difficult hill. I truly hope to see more originals from you in the future, and that you don't take the numbers at face value. Solace Valley may have less listeners/watchers compared to covers, but we are all here for you, rooting for your success. Wasted Potential is a song I've put on repeat for hours upon hours and never get tired of, reminding me that all of these emotions are very human and I'm only barely getting into my 30s. It's a self-perpetuating cycle at every milestone, but one that can be sailed through. Thank you Reinaeiry, for sharing your work with us. Truly. Even now I feel like I still haven't expressed enough of what I want to say to be encouraging to you as a singular voice in a sea of thousands, but I pray this one shout will remind you on the worst days that the sun will always rise again, and tomorrow has the potential of being better, never wasted.
She has quite a few original songs on her channel in her immortal series (Camille [Vampire Hunter] and Victoria [Vampire] who fall in love.) with my personal favourites being 'Vices & Virtues' and 'Autumn' (which is not a part of the series but still good). This is her first album release though. Definitely give her other original songs a listen if you haven't, it's worth.
Amazing song! And god, I hate the phrase "wasted potential" so so much. I've heard it quite often. It hurt me a lot before and now I mostly get angry. Like... do you think I didn't try hard enough? Do you think I'm not good enough? How dare. And I'm still growing. ^^
I'm totally normal about this *chewing the wire of my headphones, eyes rolling to the back of my head, literally frothing at the mouth, fist pumping the air, high-fiving my cat, crying on the bathroom floor, even alone I judge myself, how embarrassing, no, I don't understand how to-*
Anyways... ⭐STREAM “WASTED POTENTIAL” EVERYWHERE NOW ⭐

GIRL this is so exciting and that is a valid response
I had one of your songs in my head whilst I was asking out my girlfriend!!!😊😊😊
@@harleysveltan7724 :o that’s so cool
She should do a cover of mount rageous from Trolls band together
The song was amazing! It really reminds me of The Artful Escape!
"Can you still make mistakes once you're above eightteen?" Lyrics are on point Eiry❤😅
Agreed, such a great lyric, I still remember how I felt the moment I turned eighteen, like suddenly I had to be such a different person from what I was like just a day before my bday
@@biseragjurovska1998 Exactly!
"And I'm tired of trying to fix the things I didn't break but broke anyways" Wow. Now that one hit close to home
"This EP will make you bust a move on the dance floor one song and make you curl up into a ball on the floor the next"
Wasted Potential: 🕺🥺💃🥺
"Can you still make mistakes once you're above eighteen?" As a 19-year-old freshman in college, this is the question I keep asking myself. Your songs are just perfect for hitting me in the feels when I least expect it. I can't wait for the rest of your album!
As a 25-year-old who's just gone back to school in order to maybe with 27 get into university I can tell you: yes and don't worry about it
This! Agreed
When we're young, we cry, hoping that adulthood will give sense to our life. And as an adult, nothing makes much sense and crying isn't accepted anymore.
This song hits really hard.
'Oh I don't understand
anything anymore.
So tired of this life -
never here, never sure."
That one hit me hard. I'm two weeks away from 42 and Im as messed up and nervous as I was at 17. This song is amazing, Eiry. Thank you.
Lyrics:
Heard a saying once, “once you’re older you’ll understand what it means to be older”
Well, I’m older now but all I am is bitter
Wasted potential
Oh I cried every night in my teenage years, never knew what it meant to be content
Oh I don’t understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here never sure
(Oh I don’t understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here never sure)
Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone I judge myself, how embarrassing
No, I don’t understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone
Guess it’s just wasted potential
Guess it’s just wasted potential
All my friends are busy, not like we used to be
Finally understand the saying “young and free”
No longer young in the eyes of society
Can you still make mistakes once you’re above eighteen?
Cried every night in my teenage years
Never knew what it meant to be content
Oh I don’t understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here never sure
(Oh I don’t understand anything anymore
So tired of this life, never here never sure)
Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone I judge myself how embarrassing
No I don’t understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone
Guess it’s just wasted potential
Guess it’s just wasted potential
Oh I’m tired of getting up everyday pretending everything’s alright
And I’m tired of screaming and crying quietly in my room until the sunrise
And I’m tired of trying to fix somethings I didn’t break but broke anyways
Yeah I’m tired of waiting for someone to see who I am and still decide to stay
Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone, I judge myself how embarrassing
No I don’t understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone
Oh I’m crying on the bathroom floor
Even alone, I judge myself how embarrassing
No I don’t understand how to leave it alone
Expectations are killing me and I’m worked to the bone
Guess it’s just wasted potential
Guess it’s just wasted potential
I'm so excited for this album!!

3:05 "Yeah I'm tired of waiting for someone to see who I am and still decide to stay" feels heavy in the heart

This song is literally me.

Wow, this song really describes about half the anxieties, insecurities, and doubts I’ve had since graduating high school. Awesome job, Eiry!
My friend sent me this song and he said "you must like it" I'm very curious what is this about and wow when I listening to this song for the first time I thought to myself "This is just like my life literally." Thank for the great songs. 👍
English is not my mother tongue tho sorry for my bad English.😭
I may be a random middle schooler on the internet who loves your music but this was a great song I listen to it on the bus in the morning
Another banger I'll be playing on repeat while I imagine scenarios in my head

I really want to see this song used for amvs or animatics
New song to listen to on repeat, absolutely amazing. Can't wait for more Eiry
It gives burnt out theater kid in the best way possible 🎉

the lyrics, melody, art, and video wowwowwow 💜 im somehow even more excited to hear the rest of the ep!!
Even as someone that's never been in a relationship, it speaks to me. From the point of wanting to do better for myself.

The bathroom floor thing is a mood ngl
Why can't I like this multiple times?!
Oh boy, mood music. I see you’ve gotten even better at your originals, which I didn’t know was possible. Good job, Eiry
kind of baffling to me how someone as cool as you feels this way too.. beautiful MV! such vibrant colors, and your voice is vibrant too 🤗
Even though I like all the songs in Solace Valley, this one hits different, might be my fave
This song hits very close to home. Like a song of my life.
You're one of the best artists ngl love all the covers and originals keep it up dude!!!!!❤
So relatable, it's 3am and I was literally crying in my room all alone.
Crying to this song on the bathroom floor hits different
Been waiting patiently since I saw the trailer, and it was worth every second. I can't wait to see more in your album coming 💕😊
Can't wait, it's going to be amazing!!!
I, like many people, relate to this song on a fundamental level.
Beautifully tragic, looking foward to more songs
I'm going to have this song on repeat so many times!!!😭💖
Thank you for this. This song expresses so much I've felt for a decade.
The lyrics hit like a kick to the unresolved self-doubt.
So poignant, so relatable, so very real and honest and raw! Beautiful!
Oh no this is too relatable help
Excellent song as always rein!!
Damn. This song hits hard.
Crying as i listen to it
This hit me surprisingly close to the core, thanks for another amazing song Reinaeiry
Absolutely love this
gnawing at the bars of my enclosure over this, so excited to see the rest of Solace Valley!!!
This is so good! From the beginning I already knew that it was going to be one of my favorites and it only kept getting better!
The lyrics, the art... 😭 It goes so hard and so well together
Simply wonderful. And very very real to the Mil and the Zer experience
Its 1am in our time HAHAHAHAH theres no sleeping for me now
OH JEEZ LOUISE I love it Reinaeiry!!! low-key feels like a personal attack with how relatable it sounds, but it's amazing xsnjjddnej
dont mind me, just listening to this on repeat
I need this MV and the EP as like a vinyl ❤❤❤ I would blast it in my living room everyday
Love that you're making original music now, this is awesome 💜

Incredibly Nice
💜💛❤️💛💜
Whoa this is fire
Amazing song!
And god, I hate the phrase "wasted potential" so so much. I've heard it quite often. It hurt me a lot before and now I mostly get angry. Like... do you think I didn't try hard enough? Do you think I'm not good enough? How dare. And I'm still growing. ^^
I love this eiry !!! i cant wait for what the next three tracks will bring us ⚡️💜
woops just checked ur description, cant wait to hear the next FOUR tracks 💜

Wow that let so many emotions in me loose. Thank you for this song
