Lyrics
I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me
It's just a thought, only a thought
But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine
Cos nothing I have is truly mine - เพลง
![SARAN x THE BESTS - อะไรฉันก็ยอม ft. JONIN [HIDDEN WORLD - LIVE SESSION]](/img/n.gif)
Back in the day this was the first cassette tape that I bought, I was 16, semi depressed and still trying to figure things out, this got me through some difficult times and gave me hope. I am 37 now, have a family two wonderful kids and a wife but this still takes me back to my boyhood room, that table and chair set by the window and for a moment I can feel the breeze in my hair again. You eventually get through it, the seemingly unbearable pain the feeling of despair, nothing lasts for ever.
Am turning 25 and it's comments like this keep me going,you are a beautiful human for letting us know it's ight,sending you love and amazing vibes to your and your loving fahm!❤
I'm 23, in the same place you just described... Thank you for this, I really needed to hear this. ♥️
@Joshua Robinson same age still hustling...🤪
You a writer or something? Cause this is beautifully put
Something of a writer is born by that window, the breeze in our hair.
2024 who is still listening.... cheers 🍻 to us LEGENDS for listening to great music 🎶
Am here still listening
I'm here too

Dido is underrated she really made an impact on our childhood
Slt aide moi à venir au USA s'il te plaît
Haaaa😂 if life is for rent i.e economy or stunt 102 😂
@@ousseynoundiaye4186I wish I had my visa 😭😂
how is she underrated?? her first cd sold like thousands and thousands, and the thank you track is still played on radio more than 20 years after its release
Same here.🥰
Anyone in 2024 ?
Am with you
Over here 😂❤
I'm in ❤
Going down her list
I’m right here ❤
This woman is pure class... beautiful, great voice and humble. And yet so underrated . Hope she comes back soon
Gino Cassano I couldn't agree more!!!
We hope for her.
She's not underrated: we can say she's too classy and classic for this trivial postmodern world. She's a singer only for connoisseurs and they really appreciate her !
marco brenni
Gino Cassano Manual, según Múnera (2002), es la forma en la cual se gestionan, dentro de los diferentes procesos de la empresa, mecanismos mediante los cuales se pueda aprovechar de una forma inteligente todo el conocimiento que se maneja en la organización. Otra definición que plantea Diamond (1983) de los manuales es la siguiente “... son un medio de comunicación muy especializada y requiere de habilidades de comunicación especializada, que se estructuran a través de pasos simples y lógicos...”.
When you are growing up and these songs are playing in the background while you are focused on other things, you can never really appreciate them for what they truly are. Then times change and you find your way back to them and things make more sense than they did before.
I couldn’t have said it better myself
You are a keen intellect
It's so true
Это красиво и классно и не важно когда . Это по русски , может ты и не поймёшь .. не всем суждено ..
🤩tellement vrai
20 years after, still sounds even better. Good music will forever stand the test of time.
The best time ...best song...❤
Yeah, me too almost 20 years over, still feel better.
The rhythmic flow is timeless, the song still strike in 2024
Dido is class Dido is genius
This is the song of the lonely hearts, the song of the ones who have difficulty in getting attached to other people, to places, to stuff, the ones who are ok with life's instability and are accepting of change. How much do we suffer in our lives. We need a push.
You can never truly tell if you're home if you don't know what it feels like to be home.
This is the song of people awake.
My heart is far from lonely, though I am in fact alone. It may have taken a beating over the decades but it's still there filled with hope.
@@UncleDaveSayz yes yes yes
@@seabids the song and your comment resonated with me in a way I didn't expect. I guess I've felt out of place my whole life, never truly feeling like home anywhere. I have fond memories of my childhood when for a time I felt I belonged before my life got uprooted.
2023 and still this ageless master piece hits hard
Was like a revelation to me hearing this song as an adult now today
Saya Mendengarkan lagu ini pertama kali tahun 2003 Waktu SMP😘 dan sekarang tahun 2023😘
I listened to this song for the first time in 2003 during middle school😘 and now it's 2023😘
Love you from Angola
🤍♥️🤍♥️🤍♥️🤍
@@bellaanaba9126 Hello 👋
I was 12-13 years old. My Dad bought a CD with mixed songs. This was one of them. I can feel,smell those memories 😢 am 33 now with my own family.... If I could go back in time, I would tell my younger self that it all works out in the end..
Me at 21 hoping what you could've told yourself young self Is real, seems every passing year life sucks more
@@kal-meptrck8160time fixes all things
Thanks for sharing .
It all works out in the end🤍
Bende 32 yaşındayım artık hristiyanım 12 yaşındaydım dınledımde müslümandım harika bı erkek arkadasım var onu cok sevıyorum oda hristiyan bnm gibi
Loved your coment 🥰
This is such a spiritual song. Come to think of it, nothing that we have is truly ours. Everything and everybody is changing. When we die, can we really carry our so-called belongings and our people with us? This is the truth. Nothing is really truly ours
The love we share with others is ours. In the end, it's the only thing that matters.
Oof
Live every day like it's, your last on earth
This music sustained me for over 10 years.
It's January 2020.
Who's here listening till eternity
I'm in love...
Me
Dude , this song will never gonna be old
Ayeeeeeee 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Vital Ifeanyii am here
Her voice is like an angel. Gives me peace of mind.
and she is so DAMN good looking! :O
Well... She's no angel
@@albertorivera4485 : fortunately she's real !
Wow. This song came right back into my life at the exact time I needed it to.
This song is about not being able to commit to someone or love itself. Always thinking “is there more? Can I do better?”
Not being able to commit to a person and settle down and find peace, happiness and be content with the blessings you have.
Shielding your heart. Letting people rent out your heart and letting them just come, use you and leave because you can’t commit to the relationship.
Are you still lonely
This song is so beautiful, the lyrics are so beautiful, her voice sounds so beautiful. Everything is so beautiful
Masterpiece. The way Dido sings with the soul isn’t common nowadays.
Have you met Enya?
Autotune?
@@coreycox2345 barely any one used auto tune back in 2003.
Memory harases is right Enya, Taylor Swift, Rachel platten and sia.If anyone has any other ideas I would love to check them out.This has been my favorite song since the age of 6.I truly understood the lyrics at the age of 17.
🥀🥺💔
Hey Dido. Gotta thank you for being a part of my recovery from bowel cancer. Every morning when I had radiation therapy, I listened to your song "Stoned" Absolutely brilliant because it had a long intro, and while the drum beat was going on to start with it, obviously no words, so I created my own....."The cancer in my body's disappearing disappearing. And it did ! Had chemo as well and my favourite other song of yours was about someone in India now, how sad I am that I can't name your song that is my second favourite of all time ! Thanks, Andy Morgan
Cool song.
Andy Morgan Stay healthy mate!! kudos for your strength....as you already know music can help heal both the soul and the body..
βασιλης αθανασοπουλος Thanks for your thoughts
***** That's the name of that song. Thanks for that
+Andy Morgan that's amazing I'm glad that you recovered and you fought it hard
My University roommate introduced me to Dido. Ever since then, 10 years ago, this song has been the soundtrack to my life. Forever grateful ❤
Voice %100
Lyrics %100
This song always hits me different 👌
It's 2021...we are blessed to be alive...and we are listening to Dido. Pure bliss!
I can relate to this
🙏🏻😎
We made it 😂🤣
beautiful song,love it
she is a legend
12 years later, if you're watching this you're a legend.
Yep the golden days of youtube and mtv
❤
Dido is the legend.
; I can't believe I'm just now discovering this beautiful woman with this beautiful unique voice..OMG 😎
So legends we are
This song will never get old , thank you Dido for a fantastic masterpiece 💜 👏🏼 ❤️
so true… always loving this song and her voice❤
@@nancypresley756she is naturally blessed a singer . Her voice is just magical ✨️
Realmente não vai, pois é um marco na história da música americana.
Old music is truly beautiful; it lacks the busyness and modern rhythms, making it soothing.
This song hits so hard. I can barely sing along, because I start crying. To me, it talks about our fear of trying to reach out for our dreams!
can feel tjhe depth. Always deeper than Adelle

Same here
Always
Doesn’t matter how many times I play this I’ve been playing this since I was a little girl in my room
me too 💚
Por siempre
Nostalgia is the best and worst feeling sometimes.
Wow Ruth that is so true. The only time machine we have is in our minds and our emotions go on a roller coaster
hhhh
Love love love
Yeah, it is hard to get older, it really is - but I guess on the other hand, it is also a blessing, so that you are capable of going down memory lane and enjoy the good old days once again with all the great music from the era, where you were young :)
@@jespernissen4423 why is it hard to get older; how so?
Priceless. Need I say More. I still enjoy this song 🎵 in 2024. God bless you all, guys 👦 🙏
Dido. Has such a amazing voice. & allways love her music. What a way to unwind. Thank you Dido
If you're still listening to this masterpiece, you have a good taste in music. 💞👌😊👍

Cuando los jovenes eramos bien, con estilo, nice, ahora se esmeran en ser vulgares
I just wanted to thank you!
I hope something beautiful happens for you today; it all starts with a single simple thought.
Peace
Its true that our live is just but for rent. when we die we don't carry a single cent along. Dido you have a pure heart🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 Nigeria loves you
Best Side-land Entertainments 🇬🇭
Indeed Nigeria does
❤️
Just a thought 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲my black
Indeed my friend .absolutely ur correct
growing up as an African kid I listened to dido, I played her songs on repeat all day everyday. In a world of afrobeats and afropop and reggae music this was quite odd. I didn’t care I loved dido and enya! guess what, some neighbors quietly asked me for their albums 😂 how glad I was to share with them! good music is always good.
Omg bro. Just like me. Would listen to enya full album on repeat too... then I met coldplay on the way lol
I think we like the same music!
@@Alkhemist14 ask the mountain by vangellis too
u from Nigeria...enya only time
I get you!!
2024 y aún me enchina la piel esta canción.
The music is timeless and so is the artist! Good music never becomes 'old', as it transcends time and space
This is the beauty of old songs. They bring back memories of you past life when things were different, and a constant reminder that life keeps ticking on. Our generation is destined to be the only one that will truly appreciate songs of that era, just as our fathers and grandfathers before us. Enjoy your life people!
When music was music. Thank you Dido
True
u
That's it, when music was music!!!
Dan Philips exactly
I agree with you.
Back in those days when I didn't have a phone. I will wait throughout the night so when my brother sleeps I'll take his phone and listen to Dido.
Now I'm here again in 2024
Those sweet memories
This is pure bliss. I have grown up listening to this masterpiece, and this song never gets old, but I am 😅 Cheers to Dido and those who are fans of this beautiful song!
She is divine. A traveler, a whisperer of lonely heart melodies
So true
This song gave me strength to get over the loss of my grandfather who raised me!🙏
😢😢
Her voice is just so beauitful, it's unbelievable.
Oh God, I miss my momma 😢. We always listened to this together
The only reason I’d ever wanna be an artist would be to just bring back music like this. That’s it. I wouldn’t care about the fame or popularity. I mean to bring back beautiful music like this for someone who’s little to listen to and then to have them come back to it years later and smile and remember their youth. That would definitely be worth it.
Precisely!!!
Indeed,I really appreciate it. It's timeless song😍
Super ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You gave me teary eyes.
watch mine as well
12 years later and I can still feel the chills travelling down my spine as I'm listening to this woman's story.
It was 20 years ago. This was released 2003.
Feel same😍🔥😭🌶
This music to me is college and all the feelings of warmth that come with it.
I dedicate this song to victims of crime, people with stress, in difficulty situations, people who lose someone, people who have to do hard things to survive, people who are sick, people who suffer bullying, people who suffer of difficult situation, people who have a disorder or a strange sickness 💙
True story: This song changed my life.
Spent my entire adult life working around the world.
In 2004 I'd already spent 3 months in Indonesia, headed for home via Australia and had to stay there for a month and then had to go to Malaysia.
Was at a record shop and picked up Dido's new (at that time) album.
Listened to this track on my laptop in my hotel room and I realised that I WAS allowing my life to be for rent.
We (mostly) all need a job but I realised that I'd reached a point where my life was something that was happening on the other side of the world while I was away earning money.
I enjoyed my old life, and cherish the friends I made, but my LIFE was at home with my family and I was renting out my life instead of living it.
Took a couple more years but I found myself a normal job and settled into a happy family life.
É isso aí. Felicidade com sua família, nada melhor que estar junto de quem se ama.
Beautiful story! Thank you for sharing It!
I might just quit my job tomorrow after reading this :( I've been thinking about what you wrote for a while now. I miss home a lot :(
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story... much love and respect
Great to hear these stories :)
Dido was our project at SonyBMG, and she was one of our favourite artists to hang with.
Just a shy local girl in London who we had to make into a superstar (she is a super sweet lady).
We got Eminem on board to help out at the start...and the rest is history.
It's 2022...we are blessed to be alive...and we are listening to Dido. Pure bliss!
This still makes me feel happy and i just cant forget those days and still motivating me once again. Thank you Dido
This song is everything and i cant get over it cause somehow it feels like its giving me hope to go on and on , when i was 6 dad used to play this song most of the time i couldn't get the meaning but i liked thr song and now im grown i listen to it i cant help bad remember Dad and why he liked it 😊, RIP Dad😢 this song will always remind me of you .
It's October 2022 and I'm still listening to my favorite song of all times
Long live Dido
Same with me..
Same here🇺🇬
Nov 2022 I am still in.
Nov 2022 😊

This is for people like us that enjoys ageless music on TH-cam and read others wonderful comments. Loads of Love from Nigeria. Wonderful song that touches the soul of even a new born. ❤️❤️
If youve ever had a stressful bad day, playing some Dido on your playlist is the answer.Such a beautiful voice.
2024. Just came back to listen to a classic. One of it's kind, I doubt a song like this will ever be made again
listening to this song while staring at the ceiling ain't so boring at all. It made me think about life.
Bener banget
🍎
Hope you're happy*
You too listen out my fav tunes guess whats mine *
You owe the you, that 4 months ago wrote that, an update on how far you've come since then.
20 years have passed and Life for Rent is still my favourite record in the whole wide world! 💜
I love your sound.. Is heals the soul... God bless you.... Hearing this song alone in close door makes tears drop...
I grew up listening to this song and it is still number one in my playlist!
This is the kind of song you play when the homies aren't around
Homies only hear 2pac & biggie then when they gone out comes dido xD
Play it when the homies are there. I bet some will secretly like it and to those who don't, oh well.
😂😂😂😂
Bruhh facts😑🤣✊
With or without them...💖💖
As an adult.... it just HITS me so hard. Being a child when this was on the radio, I never paid attention to the lyrics. I will never not understand this song again. A masterpiece.
Hello Cintya .. How are you doing??
Same here.. Loved it since I was a child, but this aged so so well into my adulthood. It hits hard.
Back then, its the lyrics that were captivating. But today, its the feeling of relating to every lyric.😢 ❤
Who's here during the Covid-19 outbreak in March 2020?.... this song is my childhood
3/2020
19/3/2020 because it's my birthday
Dido!!! 🎶
Me
Nothing I have is truly mine. Hard times.
I could listen to Dido 24/7. Her voice is purely magical & mesmerising. That voice is so sweet.
Dido is the only singer singing English that i could listen to all day
Try London Grammar ...
Wow! I am here in April 17th 2024. Truly needed to hear it again. Thanks Dido
Feels like yesterday.. love the whole album like back in the elementary school.. love all dido albums but this one is the best…. Time really flies and nothing lasts forever.. thank you❤❤❤ lot of things have changed since then and lost some of my favorite people I had back then.. now they are gone…😢 grateful for each day … love you❤
In an era of big vocals, and melodramatic music videos, I'm glad these tender and melancholic sounds were given a chance. Else, I would never have had the chance to truly appreciate them today. Now that I am old enough to understand such spiritual artists- Dido, Sade, Indiana Arie.... and others like them.
I'm still here! This song is very spiritual and only people in the spirit can understand this music, God bless you Dido. And to God almighty be all the glory all the time. 💙
no little cult person .....just no😞
You know what these people are into right. Let's just say it has very little to do with God and more with the other guy.
Dido brings back so many memories ❤
She has such a beautiful voice which melds wonderfully with her deep lyrics.
Her Vocals are simply Sensational, your music world is not complete untill you have Dido in it. Congratulations from New Zealand 🇳🇿 👏 ❤️ Jan 7th 2023.
2023🔥🔥🔥🔥 been a fan since 2003
😍😍😍😍😍 I am very grateful to Almighty God

Love this singer,she hits the right feeling,so to speak.

Love me some spiritual sounds❤.
Thank yoi Dido for sharing your gifts with us.
Dido is my spiritual twin.. I swear I feel this song on so many levels. "Cause nothing I have is TRULY mine"....
this was one of the last songs i listened with my dad, he liked this song a lot. he lost his battle against cancer a few hours ago. i love and miss you forever, dad. rest in eternal peace
god bless him
So sorry 😭
I am so so sorry for your loss. May you be comforted.
Condolences so sorry to hear that, sending a big hug X
My father would also play this song every morning. This song reminds me of him. He also lost his fight against cancer 4years ago. I miss him everyday.
When you feel you don't know what's your ground or who to truly believe, sometimes you feel you'd carry on alone with everything wrong in your life,there are bad days like these and probably Dido wanted to show these uncertainty and doubts on this beautiful song.
Happy early 20th anniversary to Dido's Life for Rent!
This song has been my ringtone for the past 7 years. I just love it. Life is indeed for rent and nothing we have is truly ours
Dido's voice makes me feel so independent. Love this woman. :)
Those born in the 90's hope we grooving to these songs❤❤❤ 2024
She's always amazing
And her voice is something else
It's not just a song but a reality of each and every individual human being born in this world..
Only one word: timeless.
