Oh my, this still hits the way it did all those years ago. 14 year old me in London coming across ‘Sway’ on tv in the early hours when I couldn’t sleep and dreading school the next day. Then 4 years later when Beautiful Collision came out, that got me through the hard times at uni. I remember I went to your gig in Brixton, must’ve been about 2003/04. I went on my own which was a big deal for me back then. It meant so much to hear these songs live. Thanks Bic, you got this London boy through a lot, and still do x
This song will always remain a previous, beautiful piece of art. Though Bic is (sadly) relatively unknown in most of the world, the lyrics and music are both true art. "Bursting Through" yearns, longs and cries out for a love. This song and "Precious Things" are two true pieces of art, and thank you for both creating these and sharing these with us.
I love this song so much, the lyrics, the melody, her voice, the simplicity of it. I'm an audiophile and I would love to hear it played on a very, very high-end audio system: CD player, killer speakers, etc.
I will always love your songs Miss Bic Runga. Someone from New Zealand introduced me to your very lovely skills and songs. You are very much appreciated. God bless you in your God-given talent. Shalom!
This was the first song I ever heard by her (Yes, before Sway) and it was the one that got me into her music. I wouldn't say it's still my favourite (election night, say after me, gravity, it's over...) but it's where it all began.
I was young lol when I was in love with Bic and her sound 😂❤️ Thank You Ms Runga for touching my heart and soul with your beauty and that of your music. Anyone else cruising through life still mesmerized? 👍💕🙏❤️
Just saw Bic Runga as one of the opening acts for Sting in Christchurch, New Zealand, just a couple of days ago. She played 6 or 7 songs. I would have been very happy if she had carried on for another hour. Her voice is so beautiful it moves me to tears. By the way, Sting was just fine.
OMG I found found her in or around 2010... Believe it or not I was looking for an image of a plastic pen for a website design for a client's homepage. If you know your disposable pens, then you'll know that the Bic ballpoint pen is the top seller.... And so it was, that among a sea of yellow, disposable plastic pens, I saw the face of an absolute angel. And for the next two years, I listened to nothing else. Bic Runga completely upended my taste in music from that day and forever more
She's a national treasure. I saw her in concert July 2023 in NZ. She has two sisters who are both great singers too. Bo Runga formed Stellar in the late 90's. Different style to Bic, but very listenable. The youngest is Pearl. She appeared on one of NZ project band Strawpeople's albums. I have all of Bic's, Bo's and Strawpeople's records. NZ music is great. Try The Feelers as well. They're a semi- rock band with James Reid as singer/writer. Reid is considered one of NZ's best song writers.
I love this song and artist ! 😇 truly out of this world Amazing works through Christ! ☺ Here are the lyrics in case anyone wants to sing along with me : I'm counting stars🌠 Lying under, watching you through my walls All the lights have gone out I know you're listening now You've been spinning around, turning slowly Orbiting round my house And it's a feeling I get I know you're listening now Warm me today, warm me today Filter in my lonely room Warm me today, warm me today Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through Oh, it's filling up this room Now my fingers are cold But I have touched you You're all I need to know Don't fade from me now I know you're listening somehow All you can give, all you can give Twisting by its more than the light It's all you can give, all you can give Look outside the sun is bursting through, bursting through Oh, it's filling up this room Warm me today, warm me today Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through Oh, filling up this room

Bursting Through Bic Runga Track 4 on Drive (Twentieth Anniversary Edition) Producer Bic Runga Sep. 1996 I'm counting stars Lying under, watching you through my walls All the lights have gone out I know you're listening now You've been spinning around, turning slowly Orbiting round my house And it's a feeling I get I know you're listening now Warm me today, warm me today Filter in my lonely room Warm me today, warm me today Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through Oh, it's filling up this room Now my fingers are cold But I have touched you You're all I need to know Don't fade from me now I know you're listening somehow All you can give, all you can give Twisting by its more than the light It's all you can give, all you can give Look outside the sun is bursting through, bursting through Oh, it's filling up this room Warm me today, warm me today Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through Oh, filling up this room
This takes me back to a Friday night 1996, being 17, and mad about a girl that I sat in the backseat of a car with on a drive home after a school social when I first heard this song. I had to pay my mate gas money to drive her home so I could spend more time with her after meeting her that night, and although it only lasted a single summer into my last year of high school, the song will always reminds me of that time. Ironically, we ran into each other and our 30s at one of Bic’s gigs after not seeing each other for nearly two decades. we obviously moved on and had entire lives, but it was nice to reconnect and chat even just for that one night.
THE BLUE AESTHETIC IS SO SURREAL!!
2024
In tears... One of the best and most moving songwriters that have ever existed. Thank you.

Sooo underrated! Bis Runga is one of the best singers. So good songs.
A very rainy Sydney day made this song pop into my head, just perfect vocals.
I love this song so much, the lyrics, the melody, her voice, the simplicity of it. I'm an audiophile and I would love to hear it played on a very, very high-end audio system: CD player, killer speakers, etc.
I will always love your songs Miss Bic Runga. Someone from New Zealand introduced me to your very lovely skills and songs. You are very much appreciated. God bless you in your God-given talent. Shalom!
I love her voice,she deserve millions views ❤️❤️
Yes, she has a remarkable singing voice, I first heard that song when I was 4-years-old in 1999, and again when I was 19 in 2014
Her songs are really really beautiful
This was the first song I ever heard by her (Yes, before Sway) and it was the one that got me into her music. I wouldn't say it's still my favourite (election night, say after me, gravity, it's over...) but it's where it all began.
I was young lol when I was in love with Bic and her sound 😂❤️ Thank You Ms Runga for touching my heart and soul with your beauty and that of your music. Anyone else cruising through life still mesmerized? 👍💕🙏❤️
yup, and now she's my friend and I'm still have massive awkward AF talking to her #fangirl
Such an under appreciated artist, this should have millions of views. Bic is a very talented songwriter.
Just saw Bic Runga as one of the opening acts for Sting in Christchurch, New Zealand, just a couple of days ago. She played 6 or 7 songs. I would have been very happy if she had carried on for another hour. Her voice is so beautiful it moves me to tears. By the way, Sting was just fine.
every time i hear this song i'm amazed all over again at how beautiful the lyric is. bic runga's voice is simply stunning.
Indeed!!
Here in 2024. This album was the soundtrack to 15 year old me ❤

Here are the lyrics in case anyone wants to sing along with me :
I'm counting stars🌠
Lying under, watching you through my walls
All the lights have gone out
I know you're listening now
You've been spinning around, turning slowly
Orbiting round my house
And it's a feeling I get
I know you're listening now
Warm me today, warm me today
Filter in my lonely room
Warm me today, warm me today
Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through
Oh, it's filling up this room
Now my fingers are cold
But I have touched you
You're all I need to know
Don't fade from me now
I know you're listening somehow
All you can give, all you can give
Twisting by its more than the light
It's all you can give, all you can give
Look outside the sun is bursting through, bursting through
Oh, it's filling up this room
Warm me today, warm me today
Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through
Oh, filling up this room
a timeless song
hi from lenguajero hahaha
Listening again in Spring 2022 in Christchurch. Still love this song.
Labyrinth of 90s.
I ❤️ Bic She's as beautiful and perfect as when Drive was released. Her voice gives me goose bumps.
I'm counting stars
Lying under, watching you through my walls
All the lights have gone out

Warm me today, warm me today
Filter in my lonely room
Warm me today, warm me today
Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through
Oh, it's filling up this room
Now my fingers are cold
But I have touched you
You're all I need to know
Don't fade from me now
I know you're listening somehow
All you can give, all you can give
Twisting by its more than the light
It's all you can give, all you can give
Look outside the sun is bursting through, bursting through
Oh, it's filling up this room
Warm me today, warm me today
Look outside the sun it's bursting through, bursting through
Oh, filling up this room

Bic is the version of our Kitchie Nadal here in the Philippines. They got something similar!
