My heart is spilling over
Crashing on the ground
I can't see what's around me
But soon I'll come around
My faith is in the balance
Of a million tiny words
So I return to silence
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come, but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
It's time that I let go
Of things I can't control
This path that I've taken
Is the only one I know
Well I've come so far to get here
And I've got so far to go
So I'll take what I can get
In matters of the soul
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come, but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
And we are the dawn
And we carry the sun
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light
May never come, but I'm willing to wait
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith
And there's an ocean in my body
And there's a river in my soul
And I'm crying
And if I see a sign in the sky tonight (but I see it coming)
No one's gonna tell me it's a trick of the light (I feel alone)
May never come, but I'm willing to wait (but I see it coming)
What can I say? I'm a man of the faith (I feel alone)
And there's an ocean in my body (but I see it coming)
And there's a river in my soul (I see it coming)
And I'm crying
One of the best irish singer/songwriters about
He is the best. I would also say Lisa Hannigan, but as a songwriter Conor has no competition.
@@ianradcliffe2319 late reaction, but have to say that I couldn't agree more!
@@ianradcliffe2319 Fionn Regan is right up there with Connor in my opinion two amazing song writers
he is a cutie too
This is by far my new favourite song. It has such a meaning to me now. It makes me emotional and yet peaceful every time I listen to it. Thanks for your amazing contribution to the world! ❤️
This song is like a musical version of the serenity prayer with a power that matches it. What an amazing lyric, transcendent.
perhaps i like this even better than the official version, just more intimate i suppose.
It sounds like the version used in TV drama smother
It's loads better
I can't stop listening to this song over and over, gorgeous.
Conor O'Brien is beyond talented. This song is a masterpiece. I listened to the first bar and was blown away immediately. Villagers are perfection live in concert if anyone hasn't seen them play yet.
Beautiful voice and beautiful words.
Beautiful and stunning, a privilege to have seen this performed live
Villagers… please stay. Your are wonderful on my heart.
love this version so much
Such beauty & solace to be found in this song
Masterpiece
Amazing. Absolutely amazing.
Just wow...
Can't believe I've never heard of this band until watching Smother and became obsessed so beautiful needs to be released for everyone that missed out xxx
Your are a beautiful artist singer. Love your voice, your melody, yours compositions… I hope great for your beautiful ways. Virginie, one fan (even if if in France… fan we don’t like. YOU, always on my heart for all your productions. Merci. It’s beautiful.
Amazing! I can't stop listening

I wonder how beautiful song like this can't be famous, something wrong with the youtube nowadays.
Moody, deep, stunningly beautiful

Why is it so beautiful
AMAZING
ah yeah.. this lad is rockin it in all fairness.
I'm getting back into piano and learning this song as it's beautiful in so many ways. His voice is intense though(!) it's like he's naked right next to you, his voice is so vulnerable and intimate 😅 I don't know how else to describe the evocation 🙃 and here I am rewinding it again and again trying to listen to the piano lol 😅
BEAUTIFUL!!!! Can't wait to see you in Warsaw! :D
Beauty, depth and what it means to transcend the human form.
Savage !! Love it
Easily one of the strongest albums of 2018 :)
I once sang this on my english practical exam. Remember I had to borrow a keyboard from my teacher to play this masterpiece❤❤❤
Brilliant 🇮🇪
And i’m crying..
Prekrasna pisen. Dik 😊❤
If anyone can make sheet music to this I would be eternally grateful
Thought I had a tear in my eye...turns out, it was a trick of the light...
who gives you permission to be this gorgeous?
His voice sounds a bit like Mick Hucknall's. Great Voice!
Does anyone know what mic he uses?
Blissful performance...as always.
Any one heard "tell me why" by Gotts Street Park and Olive Jones???
I need this played at my funeral.
Same here
Very cool Sir, going to strive to perform like this one day, just have to learn to play piano..lol
This way it seems to be such a different song but... it's the same song!
It gives to the song Tom Odell's vibes!
Beautiful, what are the chords?
i played this at my brothers ,,,, i cant even say it
Stunning, jealous
Smother brought me here
Same
Same here....
A truly magnificent song, beautiful and understated.
Same
Smother anyone
For some reason he sounds a bit like Paul Simon, or at least sings in a similar way.
How can I find the musical notes of this?
Walker Independence!
Smother
I can't put my finger on it but this tune sounds very similar to a classic funk/rnb song, can anyone help me out?
Just The Two of Us :)
@@mwahmoi2009 on point, thank you!
This version is good, but he looks better in a wig and make up.
Love it! Also, first comment :D
