The "OK" tat is so iconic, this album was and is still so close to my heart, it's been amazing seeing how Orla's musical career has grown, to think years ago that ukulele and yellow wall would lead to songs like go crazy and you're not special, late to the party and so much more, I can't wait to see what the next 4 years will have in store for us all!
"Cause I really thought that we'd be cool, Some exception to the rule" Is my favourite lyric I got turned down by this girl I really liked and I genuinely thought me and her would be cool cause we got on really well but didn't work out I guess
I love how everyone interprets lyrics differently! To me she's saying that she hoped they'd be cool after they broke up, and be an exception to the rule that exes can't be friends.
Ellie i always interpreted it as someone developing feelings for a really close friend & things going sour when they don't feel the same way, but i totally see your idea making sense too!! actually, with the rest of the songs in freckle season, that's definitely what one would think :]
I swear every song Orla releases is more beautiful than the last. This one has not left my head since it came out. Love this session so much, thank you Orla for the songwriting inspiration and for sharing your artistry with us.
I love how this song is not directly about the grand feeling but about every small bit of life you build together and then lose after a break up, like become friends with the whole family
the magical thing about this song is that I shouldn't really be able to relate to it at all (I'm asexual and have never had so much as a crush, let alone a relationship/heartbreak!!) but while listening to it I can feel all the emotions that have gone into it. truly beautiful and incredible songwriting ❤️
When I see the utter rubbish on so called “prime TV” on a Saturday evening, and then I flick onto TH-cam and see this wonderfully talented musician performing a theatrical masterpiece of a song, it puts the whole fickle industry into perspective. Miss Garland please keep on doing this stuff, you are quite brilliant. Cheers!
My boyfriend and i broke up back in October and in our relationship we always promised eachother that we will be friends afterwards cause he also was the best friend i ever had. And even though we never agued and just fell out of love we dont talk anymore and GOD i wish that I could understand that we're no friends never again. "Cause I really thought that we'd be cool, some exception to the rule" That line hurts the most because of that promise that we both broke
Somehow I stumble upon songs that I don't have a situation or anything to yet but I know I will. When I first heard this song I loved every inch of it. Well I have my situation now that I relate to this song. It's a beautiful underrated masterpiece still
this is incredible, i can’t put into words the crazy amounts of feeling watching you sing brings me. so much joy. i love it all. my biggest aspiration is to be able to do this.
im sitting on a pretty overcrowded train now, and im trying my best not to bawl my eyes out BECAUSE HOLY SHIT. you are one of a kind. wooooooowwwww. WOWWWW!!! (that’s me screaming because damn you’re good)
Im letting one of your playlists play as i make art and your range is incredible. You have some really peppy catchy songs, some deep tunes, and some heartbreakingly devastating songs. You rock
@orla you amaze me everyday. The more I hear you sing and with the passing of the months and years the songs you release get bigger and bigger. This EP is truly amazing. For the heart broken this should be a mandatory sound track.
sometimes I get so distracted by your talent with a guitar and with your songwriting that I forget how you can be so emotive on the piano. everything you touch is special. these live sessions are a treasure. absolutely no one doing it like orla. (also the lighting and camera work in this is bomb.)
When I heard this song for the first time I was stunned, because half of it could've been written by my ex girlfriend about me and the other half by me bout her. Relatable in a weird way. I absolutely love it.
I absolutely love the vibe of this version, the instrumentation, and how well it pairs with the beautifully matched cinematography! I also love Pete's mini double keyboard solution! 😃 "I wish your mom and I could be friends" gets me every time. Heartbreaking to think about loosing your partner's family as part of the decision to part ways 😟
Currently breaking up with my best friend from childhood and this song says it all. Thank you for being such an incredible creative, Orla. You are so needed in this world of ‘filler music’ that have no meaning!!
This song hits home more than most of your songs. Im going through a divorce after we've been together almost 13 years. We've grown apart over the last few years and everything is just... heavy.
Absolutely love this performance. Watching your music growth over the past year or so has been an amazing journey. I can hear your dedication and passion for your craft in every word and it hits me to the core. I hope you never grow tired of creating.
Orla's songs touch my soul, I swear. There is a lot of good music out there - a lot of GREAT music even! - but just a handful can do to me what hers does. Please, never stop creating, you deserve all the love and appreciation in the world. Can't wait to see you in Warsaw once again

this song hits the right spot. every orla song does. i hope one day ill be as good as you are. huuuge inspiration.
i love how relatable your lyrics are. i wasn't even sad but this song brought some poor memories up and i ended up looking at the ceiling wondering "why?? why??" thanks for that i love you so much
Do you think about me at night? When the sky is losing light I swear my head fills up with memories every time Are you moving on with your life? Did you find a job you like? Always thought you could do anything And I've been running over all the things that I will never say to you Like how I just wanna hang with you And watch Grand Designs And I've been trying to train my mind to put you in another category But it's still not coming naturally After all this time So tell me why this has to be so heavy Tell me why this has to be ‘Cause I really thought that we'd be cool Some exception to the rule But honestly, I think it has to be this heavy I wish your mum and I could be friends I think about her now and then How we drove up to her house I'll never see that dog again I guess I needed a minute To live a life without you in it But you're in every stripey t-shirt that I own Oh, I've been running over all the things that I will never say to you Like how I just wanna sing with you As we're walking home And I've been kissing different faces just to make it a reality Oh, I did it for the therapy But I felt alone So tell me why this has to be so heavy Tell me why this has to be ‘Cause I really thought that we'd be cool (we'd be cool) Some exception to the rule But honestly, I think it has to be this heavy Do you think about, do you think about, think about Do you think about, do you think about it too? Do you think about, do you think about, think about Do you think about, do you think about it too? Do you think about, do you think about, think about Do you think about, do you think about it too? Do you think about, do you think about, think about Do you think about, do you think about it too? 💔
Orla, I just want to thank you for randomly making me happy for a while after each time you put out another video. I’m not happy very often at all anymore but your videos and songs are one major exception to that.
this is incredible. everything in this is so sweet and emotional ;-; the feeling that goes with your music is just so nice and warm♡ btw i've just pre-ordered a physical version of the EP, i'm so excited ! i love this so much, thank you for your music orla
“I’ll never see that dog again”
I felt that
woof
I think about my ex's cat almost every day.
me too
@@rileyvainionpaa4306 when you think more about the cat than your ex
omg nice dp
you’ve got good taste ;)
pete killin the pads
ugh this is so special
doddleoddle
thank you for explaining this so exquisitely, dodie!!
I've never related to an an artist so much as I've done to you. Your music is amazing!
my heart
2:26 "I just wanna sing with you as we're walking home" that broke my heart.
this song rly feels like you’re reaching into my chest and wringing my heart out like a wet towel and i’m not mad about it
Would agree. Agreed.
The "OK" tat is so iconic, this album was and is still so close to my heart, it's been amazing seeing how Orla's musical career has grown, to think years ago that ukulele and yellow wall would lead to songs like go crazy and you're not special, late to the party and so much more, I can't wait to see what the next 4 years will have in store for us all!
"Cause I really thought that we'd be cool,
Some exception to the rule"
Is my favourite lyric I got turned down by this girl I really liked and I genuinely thought me and her would be cool cause we got on really well but didn't work out I guess
I relate super hard😐😐😐❤
I love how everyone interprets lyrics differently! To me she's saying that she hoped they'd be cool after they broke up, and be an exception to the rule that exes can't be friends.
Ellie
i always interpreted it as someone developing feelings for a really close friend & things going sour when they don't feel the same way, but i totally see your idea making sense too!! actually, with the rest of the songs in freckle season, that's definitely what one would think :]
I feel your pain so much man.
I swear every song Orla releases is more beautiful than the last. This one has not left my head since it came out. Love this session so much, thank you Orla for the songwriting inspiration and for sharing your artistry with us.
Three years later i just discovered this song and its line for line, my feelings and thoughts lately.
I love how this song is not directly about the grand feeling but about every small bit of life you build together and then lose after a break up, like become friends with the whole family
Those are the heaviest things
"ill never see that dog again" brb crying
the lil kettle in the background is so cute
His name is Pete
It's all our secrete favourite. 🤫
Kazzack
omg-- i thought you were sayin that was the kettle's name but this is SO much better XD
“You’re in every stripy t-shirt that I own” they are both wearing stripy shirts. Coincidence? I think not
: )
the magical thing about this song is that I shouldn't really be able to relate to it at all (I'm asexual and have never had so much as a crush, let alone a relationship/heartbreak!!) but while listening to it I can feel all the emotions that have gone into it. truly beautiful and incredible songwriting ❤️

Check out normal people :)
My boyfriend and i broke up back in October and in our relationship we always promised eachother that we will be friends afterwards cause he also was the best friend i ever had.

Give it time....
@@jgmccabe ♥️
Reach out! The phone goes both ways. Might be hard, you might be rejected, but you gotta try
Somehow I stumble upon songs that I don't have a situation or anything to yet but I know I will. When I first heard this song I loved every inch of it. Well I have my situation now that I relate to this song. It's a beautiful underrated masterpiece still
I am so unbelievably excited for the new EP. This song just gets me every time 💔
Beautiful. This might sound weird, but the way you sing always reminds me of the way a swallow flies and I can't phrase it any better than that.
this is incredible, i can’t put into words the crazy amounts of feeling watching you sing brings me. so much joy. i love it all. my biggest aspiration is to be able to do this.
Probably one of the best love songs i know
im sitting on a pretty overcrowded train now, and im trying my best not to bawl my eyes out BECAUSE HOLY SHIT. you are one of a kind. wooooooowwwww. WOWWWW!!! (that’s me screaming because damn you’re good)
Can't ever get over this beautiful song
orlas voice is so buttery and smooth but also so intense? at the same time? how?
this song hit so hard the first time i heard it. this version has an even more sad vibe idk why but wow just wow i love it.
Normal people sent me here and I’m in love with this 😍
SO TELL ME.....WHY MY EYES HAVE TO BE SO SWEATY🎵
Orla, you are a huge inspiration. Please stay amazing!
Im letting one of your playlists play as i make art and your range is incredible. You have some really peppy catchy songs, some deep tunes, and some heartbreakingly devastating songs. You rock
i SCREAMED when i saw this in my feed holy shit, you're actually a legend Orla never change ❤️
This song is pure magic. But let's be real. Orla Gartland is pure magic
This is a hidden gem for all a lot of people. They're missing out something beautiful
@orla you amaze me everyday. The more I hear you sing and with the passing of the months and years the songs you release get bigger and bigger. This EP is truly amazing. For the heart broken this should be a mandatory sound track.
this feels like a movie
sometimes I get so distracted by your talent with a guitar and with your songwriting that I forget how you can be so emotive on the piano. everything you touch is special. these live sessions are a treasure. absolutely no one doing it like orla.
(also the lighting and camera work in this is bomb.)
Her style in making music is like this Song of Boy George Kama Kama ............, never the same and this is it
Why haven't I heard this artist here in Australia? Wow.
When I heard this song for the first time I was stunned, because half of it could've been written by my ex girlfriend about me and the other half by me bout her. Relatable in a weird way. I absolutely love it.
Yesss that’s what I love about the song too!
Such an emotional song. Thank you for putting this out. I enjoy coming back since its release.
I absolutely love the vibe of this version, the instrumentation, and how well it pairs with the beautifully matched cinematography! I also love Pete's mini double keyboard solution! 😃 "I wish your mom and I could be friends" gets me every time. Heartbreaking to think about loosing your partner's family as part of the decision to part ways 😟
Hey Orla, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your music and its helped me through a lot. Stay amazing ❤❤❤
Profound. Very deep, deeply painful. But such sweet work. So relatable.
Always gonna miss that dog too.
I dont know why "did you find a job you like?" hits as hard as it does. the textured, microscopic intimacy of this song is so evocative and moving
Spotify’s Daily Wellness brought me here and I’m grateful!
I wouldn't be able to play this man, way to heavy on my heart
Well yes, and the light is freaking fabulous!
Orla, I think you've found a very sweet spot between your truth and sounding commercial. I love your art!
missing the doggie gets me every time
Whoever shoots your vids is so tasteful with the angles and transitions. (:
the first boy i have ever been in love with broke up with me yesterday and now this song means so much more
If you never do anything else in your life, you will have achieved something wonderful with this song. This is really a work of art. Quite something
so in love with your music! it touches my heart, my soul, just everything. i'm in tears by this song. so wonderful.
Rate that grand designs lyric 😍
Every artist gets only a handful of absolutely beautiful songs. This is without a doubt one of hers
here’s to hoping she blows up, expecting to see u at the brits next year orla !
Me too dude....me too
You really know you’re heartbroken when you can relate to every freaking word she’s singing. Damn.
But thank you.
Currently breaking up with my best friend from childhood and this song says it all. Thank you for being such an incredible creative, Orla. You are so needed in this world of ‘filler music’ that have no meaning!!
this song breaks me every time I listen to it
Heavy is such a beautiful song, I can’t wait to hear it live!
Never related to an artists music as much as I do to Orla's. The most talented ginger. 💛💛💛
your songs are another level of realness.
This song hits home more than most of your songs. Im going through a divorce after we've been together almost 13 years. We've grown apart over the last few years and everything is just... heavy.
ow my heart
I would love to see Orla live
ORLA you genius ugh how do your songs HURT so much?? Looking forward to crying to them in April!
this is so beautiful 🥺🥺 I swear I fall more and more in love with heavy every time I listen to it
STILL LOVE YOU ORLA ❤❤❤
audibly gasped when I saw the notification for this
Absolutely love this performance. Watching your music growth over the past year or so has been an amazing journey. I can hear your dedication and passion for your craft in every word and it hits me to the core. I hope you never grow tired of creating.
This song hurts in the best way possible
my heart broke a million times while listening to this
I love the smooke from the kettle with the song👌
Orla's songs touch my soul, I swear. There is a lot of good music out there - a lot of GREAT music even! - but just a handful can do to me what hers does. Please, never stop creating, you deserve all the love and appreciation in the world. Can't wait to see you in Warsaw once again
this song hits the right spot. every orla song does. i hope one day ill be as good as you are. huuuge inspiration.
Damn, besides how great Orla's voice and this song is, these sessions are so beautifully shot that I just keep rewatching them.
i love how relatable your lyrics are. i wasn't even sad but this song brought some poor memories up and i ended up looking at the ceiling wondering "why?? why??" thanks for that i love you so much
Live sessions are the best! So pro status!
Just gonna brb and cry, thanks Orla
love the kettle steaming in the background
Listening to this for the sixth time on repeat because Orla Gartland has ruined all other sound for me.
Do you think about me at night?
When the sky is losing light
I swear my head fills up with memories every time
Are you moving on with your life?
Did you find a job you like?
Always thought you could do anything
And I've been running over all the things that I will never say to you
Like how I just wanna hang with you
And watch Grand Designs
And I've been trying to train my mind to put you in another category
But it's still not coming naturally
After all this time
So tell me why this has to be so heavy
Tell me why this has to be
‘Cause I really thought that we'd be cool
Some exception to the rule
But honestly, I think it has to be this heavy
I wish your mum and I could be friends
I think about her now and then
How we drove up to her house
I'll never see that dog again
I guess I needed a minute
To live a life without you in it
But you're in every stripey t-shirt that I own
Oh, I've been running over all the things that I will never say to you
Like how I just wanna sing with you
As we're walking home
And I've been kissing different faces just to make it a reality
Oh, I did it for the therapy
But I felt alone
So tell me why this has to be so heavy
Tell me why this has to be
‘Cause I really thought that we'd be cool (we'd be cool)
Some exception to the rule
But honestly, I think it has to be this heavy
Do you think about, do you think about, think about
Do you think about, do you think about it too?
Do you think about, do you think about, think about
Do you think about, do you think about it too?
Do you think about, do you think about, think about
Do you think about, do you think about it too?
Do you think about, do you think about, think about
Do you think about, do you think about it too?
💔
Awesome...plus BANGS!! Interesting choice.
Aaaaah that last glance at the camera was so fucking perfect!!! I can't wait for the full EP!
I love you Orla
this song truly is heavy
This song is so so so special. Thank you♥️ really
Beautiful beautiful beautiful 💔💔
Wow. Nice song, Orla, and nice job.
Ah I love your voice and sound Orla!
This is so pure and utterly beautiful
I love you Orla 💓

Perfection in so many ways

Orla,

wishing you the best xx
I have cried over this song too many times. I just love every part of it. The vocals, lyrics and instruments. they work so good together
Orla, I just want to thank you for randomly making me happy for a while after each time you put out another video. I’m not happy very often at all anymore but your videos and songs are one major exception to that.
this is incredible. everything in this is so sweet and emotional ;-; the feeling that goes with your music is just so nice and warm♡
btw i've just pre-ordered a physical version of the EP, i'm so excited !
