B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.

B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
As I walk this line, I am bound by the other side
And it's for my heart that I'll live
'Cause you'll never die
Well if you want to know me, I'm a war
Companion
Nothing you can say can tear me away from my guy
Nothing you can do 'cause I'm stuck like glue to my guy
I'm sticking to my guy like a stamp to a letter
Like birds of a feather, we stick together
I'm telling you from the start, I won't be torn apart from my guy
Nothing you can buy could make me tell a lie to my guy
Nothing you could do could make me untrue to my guy
I gave my guy my word of honor to be faithful and I'm gonna
You best be believing, I won't be deceiving my guy
As a matter of opinion I think he's tops
My opinion is he's the cream of the crop
As a matter of taste to be exact
He's my ideal as a matter of fact
No muscle-bound man can tear me away from my guy
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
If she wants to go, if he wants to go, if she wants to go, if he wants
If he wants to go, if she wants to go, if he wants to go, if she wants
If she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants
If she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants to go, if she wants
B. I. L. L. I. E. H. O. L. I. D. A. Y.
Birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather

We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather

We are birds of a feather
We are birds of a feather

This is one of those songs that gives you chills hearing it again after it's been awhile.
?
@@UbiSergei2 ??
I forgot about this song, man am I SOOOO glad it popped in my head randomly and found it again after all these years
My brother recently adopted a stray and named her Billie and every time he mentions her name it pops into my head or I sing it. Haha.
Yo apenas la escuche en la película (chicas buenas )en Netflix la busque enseguida, ame esa canción ❤
And this version is sexy, the radio edit is great but this is fire 🎉
2024...still love this music❤
Hell yeah brother
August 20th 2024! Love my ladies.💙💚
I do shrooms and LSD from time to time. This is my go to music, while watching the space station live stream on TH-cam
Never grows old and always touches the spot 😊
Same.. my heart...
the drum sounds like a heartbeat, such a beautiful version of the song
Hey, sorry for spamming, but it's the only way I can make people notice me. I have a channel, and I actually made a slowed and reverbed version of that song. I would be really grateful if you'd take a look at it. I also accept requests ^^
It reminds me of the powwow drums back east
@@sundancechief6158 never said this song isn't perfect the way it is! Some people enjoy slowed + reverbed songs and I make sure people who likes this type of content can enjoy my work, including this song.
AND I'M ABSOLUTELY NOT A RACIST! I DON'T TOLERATE RACISM, AND BLM IS AN INTERNATIONAL ACTIVIST MOVEMENT, COMMITTED TO THE FIGHT AGAINST RACISM, PERPETUATED ON A SOCIO-POLITICAL LEVEL! I SUPPORT BLM!
I know right! I feel like you can tell that they love the song and spent time on it.
@@GrimSingmuf when the sage comes on the wand and that first beat thuds...chills.
Once and a while, you hear something special and unique. There's real talent here, and it's such a refreshing thing to find an oasis like this in the middle of a big, boring desert.
+santiagobenites Its not the Oasis u idiot...they are called warpaint.
Rahul Bhaskar Might I suggest that you rethink who the real idiot is here, if that is at all possible.. As well, a dictionary just might be your best friend at this moment.
santiagobenites
lol....ok...sorry
Rahul Bhaskar Thanks, and no problem.
+santiagobenites I definitely agree with you : )
This could possibly be one of the best live performances I have ever heard.
Yeppppp
Love how they perfectly harmonize like hypnotic sirens.
Eyes closed and you can imagine the ships sinking
That's interesting I likened them to sirens or muses.
Yes beautiful. They only started singing this again on the last tour..looking forward to hearing them in May
ITS A TRAP
@@indoorgangster Oh snap. In the few weeks since Gordon Lightfoot passed, I have listened to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" about 100 times. [But no, they did not crash upon the rocks because of sirens, in case you weren't aware. They sank in 500-foot water because of 30-foot waves.]
Oooh, I remember when. That was such a wild summer in London. Endless nights on canal boat rooftops. ❤
❤ grand union canal yes
their voices all together sound amazing. they should do this more often. I also found that these rough trade sessions are amongst their best performances. They should do more when the new album is ready!
I love how thier music has the quality of a warm, dry, August evening.
This song especially! Such a niche, esoteric thing but I live in the Midwest of the US and this FEELS so accurate 🙏🏻
One of the most beautiful songs ever.
Do you guys know some song like that ?
if you like songs like this you should check out aurora
I love the fact that everyone in the band sing :)
Girl power 💫

2-, 3-, and 4-part harmonies. Pretty amazing.
@@johnthorne4093 Yeah their harmonies are otherworldly
Woke up with this song in my head. Went on a mission to find it again. I had found it a decade ago and I am so happy to have found it again.
It is so ethereal. ✨
great songs are like time portals from multiple points of view
Harmony is exceptional
I NEED to see this band live. The authenticity that exudes from these videos mustn't be able to hold a candle to the real thing. Please continue to be breathtakingly magnificent ladies
Just heard it on Bad Sisters. Awesome. Haunting. I want this at my funeral
Tears rolling out of my closed eyes....for my love that can't be near.
the vocals are so excellent. givs you that same angelic feeling as the beach boys and whatever. the ending with birds of a feather, so sick
hhhhh do not put this crap in the Beach Boy category.
Beach Boys is shit.
My range in taste of music is world class, and the beach Boys are shit.
@@tarheelblue63nc25 180 degrees: do not put the Beach Boys' half-wit, dickhead, drug-addled horseshit anywhere near these angelic Warpaint performances.
Ok, I thought I loved them before, now I'm officially in love with WARPAINT!
iLompoc pinion
Beautiful and outstanding. The harmony synchronized, the beat exemplified, and the feel was groovy...Birds of a feather.
My favorite part about this band is how different they are. It's nauseating to see endless groups with the same hairstyles and ways of dressing and dancing styles. This group, though... they're all unique. Their sound is unique. It's refreshing and I love it.
Theyre jus real musicians. Real people
They are utterly superb live as well!
Welcome to the world of real music where people aren't creating to impress others.
exactly
Unique? Their style of dress is straight out of Greenham Common circa 1985. They are anything but unique
Conheci Warpaint através desta música, deste vídeo. Mais de dez anos atrás, num momento difícil da minha vida. Me apaixonei por essas meninas. Voltei aqui em 2025, só pra descobrir que a paixão por esse vídeo continua. Me senti como a primeira vez. Me inspirei novamente. A música delas fala diretamente com a minha alma. Obrigado!
I'm a metal guy but really digging this. Their voices are gorgeous. Such nice harmonies and layers to the music.
Yeah you should listen to Billie Jolliday she not just a pretty song cover no?
Been around a min=u=et and this strkes a cord
THIS STILL GETS ME EVERY DAMN TIME -love respect and all the good vibes for Warpaint
As I walk this line,
I am bound by the other side
And it's for my heart that I'll live
'Cause you'll never die
Well if you want to know me,

Birds of a feather

thank you,,,,it all connects now
Thanks
THANK You !! I had no idea wtf they were saying lmao, also i think there is an alternate version somewhere, I neeed to find it.
Nice one
I hadn't caught the connection between the fact that the lyrics are obviously from the Mary Wells song "My Guy," except for the fact that they of course spell out Billie Holiday's name, and give the song her name as well. After reading other comments I've read about Billie Holiday's "My Man," which would have been her equivalent.. so to speak. It's kind of like Warpaint is singing the happy lyrics of My Guy, but with a sad meaning hidden behind it... like a woman singing about how much she loves her 'man', yet she's actually being abused by him, which is more like the My Man song. Fascinating stuff.
they're singing about billie holiday's drug addiction being her "guy"
+beavis yo Dear god, your comment was awesome.
+beavis yo Simple, direct, explanatory, short, non insulting and to the point.
yes, BUT the twist is that I heard that 'my guy' is used in place of a drug addiction
My Guy = Heroin
So glad they're still around doing their thing. I discovered them on accident 10yrs ago. I was legit listening to Billie Holiday and came across this video! 1 comment said "hey this isn't Billie Holiday but I like it!" 😄 I literally lost a whole day listening to their music. What a talented group 👏 😍
This is beautiful.what a great band they are. Love this
this is my ultimate favorite song. especially the accapella at the end.
Love this song and performance so much
Gorgeously haunting.
such an accurate description. Man, you are a poet !
You stole this words from my heart and mind 😌
I miss Warpaint
Absolutely amazing. I needed this on my drive. Thank you girls for creating this!
Beautiful song.they are all brilliant musicians & deserve to be better known.
Been saying this for years. Please check out so good by warpaint th-cam.com/video/KbTp8F2ISNE/w-d-xo.html
I had forgotten about this song ! Wow. It gives me chills , I just love it so much . Was just rewatching good girls and heard it and came straight here to save and listen a few times 😍😍😍💕💕.
Awesome band. check out so good by warpaint th-cam.com/video/KbTp8F2ISNE/w-d-xo.html
4:00 - 4:10 -- that vocal harmony all of them is how i would describe the essence of warpaint
Still listening in 2024. Still gives me chills. One of your best songs and group efforts. ❤ You all.
these girls were so lucky to find such a friendship
This always makes me smile, especially at the end:
"We like-a biiirds..."
birds of a feather will...
birds of a feather will...
I believe is what they're singing.
It's the first part of 'birds of a feather will flock together'
I believe it's
"Birds of a feather, we're like,
Birds of a feather, we're like..."
More importantly, my original comment was referring to what Emily says at the very end, after the song is finished
Such a haunting tune for such seemingly-bubblegum lyrics. Intriguing contrast.
Hauntingly beautiful
These ladies are so beautiful and talented that they make me feel inadequate. What voices!
Thank you, that's kind of you to say. :)
xeshtaed dittyttyo ditto ditto
Madre mía 🥹
Que maravilla.
Here because of Good Girls!!! LOVE THISSSS. Thank you for making me feel great with this song/mix
The way this song builds and comes together x
One of the most beautiful harmonies available out there, absolute angels. Thank you for making this 💜🎶
Their harmonies are carrying me to heaven
Fave song by them. Stellar live in Denver last night.
This song is so near to my heart and I'm so happy that I'm still alive to hear it because when I first heard it I was in a very dark place people heal it gets better keep fucking going please ❤️🥹
It does get better. Thank you for that.
Still a fave in 2023!!! Who’s with me?!
still holds for 2024 and maybe 2025 too
Damn these women are such bad-assed musicians! What a beautiful song!!
Glad to see new good original music these days. With pop music in such a state of shit, these gals are kicking total audio ass!!!!
+Brian Reynolds couldnt agree more! finally REAL music!
Only Warpaint can produce music as deeply hypnotic and beautiful as this.
Amo essa música!
I’m back here after a long time, many years, and the feelings are the same as the first time. I’m so glad I’ve discovered this band, despite the years this song hasn’t lost its impact at all, as much as the band itself. Raugh trade is a blessing tho
This song reminds me how stong young people can love.
Word it up bro. :)
Amen.
niiiggghh bruh
Nice comment
This song is about an abusive relationship
I love this so much. I keep coming back to it. Mesmerizing!
I dont know, I just found them on YT in June 2020, thank god i did, they are incredible. long live warpaint
These rough trade sessions are what I had originally found and what got me into them too!
Makes me cry each time. Beautiful.
This cover just hooked me on these girls. Ethereal.
Keep coming back to this.... Pure brilliance....
I fall in love four times every time I listen to and watch this video.
The drums... like a heartbeat.... This song is mesmerizing to me. Not every song can be slowed down and sound like new. I'm a new subscriber and will keep an eye on these ladies!
These ladies make me think of the Valkyries gang channeling angels in a song circle. I wish to get that close to him too. "You know me" is all I can say from my heart.
Have had this song on repeat since I heard it about a week ago, genius...and beautiful AF, sheer poetry flying with zee muses glittery spray
What a magical and stunning rendition of Smokey Robinson's song "My Guy".
I'd like to sit around a living room with these ladies and sing.
same
Yeahh.. “sing”
@@ThaFabinator(͡ ° ͜ʖ ͡°)
One of the best songs EVER form one of the best bands EVER.
Facts! check out so good by warpaint th-cam.com/video/KbTp8F2ISNE/w-d-xo.html
Nice tribute to some of the legend female musicians of the past.
Esta canción es una belleza pura... Tengo el video en la barra de favoritos desde hace años y nunca me canso de ponerla.. Increíbles
Wow just wow. Can’t believe never took the time to really watch and feel their video besides their music. Son arte puro y gracias por este sentir🌼
As a musician , how could I not stop and say WOW! So stoked I found this !
This popped into an Apple Music generated playlist of mine recently, having never heard it before. In a loop in my head now, and I'm totally cool with that.
lovely vibe..nice girls
10 yıl önce mi :D Vay amk
I'm blown away.
Voices of Angels
I love the gentle kick drum. Just keeps it moving until that first snare hit that reverberates so much! Love the harmonics of this band as well. And the ending is so goooooooooooooooooooooooood :)
this song is everything.
LITTLE CRUNCHY 😊
Little Crunchy is a silly name for a hipster
You should listen to Mary Wells sing it
I just found out about you a few weeks ago. You are an amazing band. Thank you very much.
I love how this has a slow death walk off a plank/to the gallows vibe going with those drums and the somber tone of the lyrics make it all the more pleasant. Perfectly fitting for the title. Oh and the band name.. How could you get anymore epic?
Love this band. Different for sure but talented and an open road ahead....Thanks for posting!
who's listening this in 2020
Now, and until my corpse gets planted (and even then, I'll haunt the future to listen forever)
😌
everybody should,and for the next 20 years ,it´s such a composition made only possible by this all girls group ,very interesting from the composition point of view ,regards
Why the fuck do people ask this question continually on videos?
@@dougross2150 might be the last year they get to ask this
the song is a seance. they are summoning her. it still works. what a little moonlight can do
Perfection... At it's finest!
The harmonies, combined with the slow cadence, make this sound almost like sacred music at the beginning.
I’m so damn mesmerized, I’ll play this to my wedding 🥲
Some of the best 6 minutes and 57 seconds of my life. I came here looking for a band with a similar soft rock sound to Little May and I'm so glad I did!
Outstanding
Just lovely.
2019 and I’m still listening to this masterpiece
Beautiful
I think Warpaint rocks they are cool and warm at the same time. I think the vows of faithful is very refreshing with everyone sleeping around in real life or on the TV. This band is like a breath of fresh air for your soul. Sorry spartan2600 has me thinking about his comment and it so stupid.
completely agree
Alabama Winston That's so cool and to know I am not alone on my Thoughts an Feeling! :) You have a Great Day Alabama and you have a Great Name!! :)
The way they create music is lovingly beautiful
Saw them do this live and it was a true chicken skin moment where all my hair stood on end and shivers ran down my spine. So simple yet so, so powerful
That's really amazing, just heard you for the first time, and I can say that it will be not the last one.... I really like it, I love it, your voices are amazing... Love it, thank you so much for this great moment !
This is the song that reminds me of a Lover in my life. I hope he is well and living life to His fullest!
Everything in this music is perfect.
Wow! Beautiful!
Beautiful song♥️
hahahahhaha gay
ANJING I'M FALLING IN LOVE WITH THIS
I am currently obsessed with this song. Thank you! I have Lady Day tattooed on my arm and she is my favorite singer...
Mágico 2019 .
