i like how orla looked like a puppet at first, hiding the other person behind her, they looked robotic, and at the end they were linking arms and you could see them both and they were smiling. from a metaphorical standpoint it looked a lot less toxic at the end which is cool.
i can see from your perspective, now that you shared it; but i confess it never felt 'toxic' to me. instead i thought it began as impersonal, as strangers meeting and then through interaction it became more personal(ized) more fluid and comfortable. Beginning as strangers, they find common ground and move forward together, mutually supporting each other until the sad end when suddenly they are separated and alone again. To me it felt like performance art, the story of a friendship from start to end.
lyrics!!!! I love the way you sing Oh, I've been tryna copy every word you say I love the way you think You have this way of knowing it'll be okay Where'd you get that confidence from? 'Cause you wear it like a coat All this feeling second best It's got me by the throat I know That I've been obsessing in the worst way Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet She told me to eat well and try to love myself Then maybe I won't wish that I was someone else (Tell me how, tell me how) To be more like you Look I don't wanna fight No, I just wanna swap our bodies for a day Imagine I could drive With the top down Back and forth across LA Every time she mentions your name Oh, she says it like a prayer Getting caught up in the syllables I wish I didn't care But no Oh, maybe I'm the one she had to outgrow Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet She told me to eat well and try to love myself Then maybe I won't wish that I was someone else Oh, I know that I've been flirting with the enemy But please don't be so perfect right in front of me I think of all the things that I will never be (Tell me how, tell me how) To be more like you To be more like you To be more like To be more like you To be more like you To be more like you To be more like To be more like you And look It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true I got these insecurities They're all mine, there's nothing you can do, do, do, do, no And look It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true The other day I caught myself Just looking at pictures of you, you, you, you, you, no Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet She told me to live a life of no regret So maybe I won't take you on as such a threat Tell me how, tell me how Oh, I know that I've been flirting with the enemy But please don't be so perfect right in front of me I think of all the things that I will never be (Tell me how, tell me how) To be more like you To be more like you To be more like To be more like you To be more like you To be more like you To be more like To be more like you
This exactly describes my feelings towards people I look up to. It's the wondering what they're really like and sometimes I catch myself not liking them just because I want to stop wanting to be like them, because sometimes it feels ridiculous. So ... I'll keep wondering.
love that the woman ends up copying orla/ they dance together~ the first impressions of anxiety/ intimidation/ idealising the person is diluted when they get to know each other and support each other ahh
I love the growth in this song, especially with the dance. It's very much a rejection of the "not like other girls" mindset. Other girls are awesome! It's ok to want to be like them!!!
I can’t wait till we get the buzzfeed/genius article “Orla Gartlan reveals the name of that woman on the internet” I wanna know who taught you self care and smokey brown eyeshadow.
“Please don’t be so perfect right in front of me” ugh I hate that I relate to this but I do. Sometimes I get jealous of people’s lives but it’s more than just their job or looks I want. I want to be them, to have their personality. I know it’s because of how little I like myself and I convince myself that if I was a different person I could be happy. But yeah, people can keep be perfect and I’ll work on getting rid of the jealousy and self-comparison
this is just my goblin brain going off but at the end i get a hint of 'while you're trying to be more like someone they're also trying to be more like someone else"
why am i like this? i go crazy trying to figure it out; overthinking the whispers of the all the lonely people. new friends creep between my teeth but my heavy souvenirs make me shout "get back!" i'm only pretending to be more like you oh god; i did it to myself: my inevitable flatline.
Love the dancing. Also love certain lyrics especially, "Every time she mentions your name...Oh, she says it like a prayer, Getting caught up in the syllables" Also "I know that I've been flirting with the enemy, but please don't be so perfect right in front of me."
Definitely one of my favorite songs from Orla, hopefully they'll have More Like You in Heartstopper's upcoming seasons because it would fit so well based on the plot!
I interpret this as people telling you what to be and toxic positivity. Art is meant to be interpreted and this is a masterpiece. "A stranger on the Internet who knows nothing about me or what I'm going through told me how to behave, and I see you as a guiding light that I should be more like." Alongside feelings of jealousy being confused with love and vice versa. But also that you never know a person, seeing them as perfect and how you'll never be them without seeing how they grew.The feelings of self hatred being expressed inward and that it's a battle meamt to be fought alone as it can't be fixed with another person, yet being unable to forget that same person. It's so relatable.
This choregraphgy is pretty sick. Love the confidence, love the shot where Orla stands back up out of frame, love the other dancer. oh God vibes anyone?
this music video was gorgeous; the lighting, the choreography!! like, holy shit!! absolutely amazing, i am very in love with orla gartland and all her music.
excellent connection between the choreography and meaning of the lyrics--obvious enough that even folks like me who don't understand dance can get it... amazing work, everyone!
unbelievable! perfectly! sensual ! The natural movement of bodies in real life! Emotions! Experiences from poetry and music! Perfectly!!! Thanks for the little miracle!!!!
I know you'll probably never see this, but I wanna thank you. I have an ED that comes in phases since about a year and I was in a rather bad phase again, when I listened to this song a few days ago. I've already listened to it many times, but that time it somehow felt differently. To me personally it conveys that sad, obsessive longing to be better that is part of my ED perfectly. But there's also the wish to be free. And than there's the reminder, that I'll have to look back on a life with regret in it. When listening to this I could finally take the advice by the woman on the internet to not produce more regret. I don't want to look back on another spring of making myself suffer from not eating the things I love. I started to actively fight against my ED and this song became the soundtrack to it. So far recovery is going well and I'll keep your song in my heart for the coming ups and downs. Thank you
Wow I am your fan Natalie, it makes me happy that you listen to Orla as well. Of course someone like you would appreciate this. I remember fondly wondering countless hours with your songs.
Oh is this how it feels to have an artist write a song ABOUT you?? Because there's no way orla didn't stalk me and write this song about my inner monologue holy shit
Nononono... I lost the premiere while working with my father. In it I wanted to show all my appreciation to Orla, and to the work & emotions she put on her songs. Her songs have helped me so much during hard times, and I'm very grateful for it. Thank you for your hard work, thank you for the relatable songs and most of all, *thank you for being you!* I will always send love + support to you, dear woman on the internet.
I've watched this about a million times on repeat. Before i found this song i had a feeling i couldn't put into words without watering it down. This song is that feeling. idk if that makes sense.
I swear every orla gartland song expresses how I'm feeling (and probably her and lots of others too) so well, honestly one of the best lyric writers to ever exist in my opinion
@@orlagartland your lyrics express feelings I didn’t know how to express or put to words but when I heard your songs it felt like I wasn’t alone in feeling that way. I can’t express how well your songs are crafted, you should be proud! ❤️
This video is so cool!!!!! That little smile at 3:00 is so cute!!! and the choreography and how both of them are smiling it's just too cute, for some reason it made me smile so much
I wonder how long it took them to learn the steps and how much of it is improvised I saw two women dancing and clicked I love the dancing and the emotions shown I love how Orlas hair matches her outfit I love how I can feel this kind of dancing Reminds me that I first liked to watch dancing with Elliot Page and their partner It’s like poetry you can interpret it how you want Same with dodie and her new vid Dodie and Orla took me through 2020, Spotify rewind be my witness! Loving with all my heart from Germany Annika
OMGGGGGGGG amazing
love you!
So are you Tessa! Greetings from LDN Town.
Completely amazing. No song has been replaying in my head this much since 'I like (The Idea of You)'!
Tessa Violet! I clicked on this video, it was recommended, and I noticed a familiar image next to the top comment. I love your music, Tessa.
Love youuuu
things orla gartland has learned from women on the internet:
- smokey brown eye shadow
- to eat well and love yourself
- to live a life with no regret
more i’m sure will be added lol
u forgot
- to live a life with no regret
To be fair she is Pretending so you can’t really blame her for learning from women on the internet *slaps knee*
check and check
@@fi5976 oh no! okay i added it in :)
Orla became my woman on the internet and I'm grateful for it
It took me a minute to get it, this comment is brilliant. Orla is the best woman on the internet.
i thank god every day for this blessing
i love this comment and i hardcore relate
the accuracy of this comment tho
This!!!
I’m actually obsessed with this song and this video is AMAZING of COURSE you dance like ur the coolest ugh
So
Good
Yes
Well
Done EVERYONE

Doddddieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee uWuuu
hi there Dodie!! Just on time to catch the sacred comment
Hi dodie! You’re great too :)
dodie speaking the words on all of our minds-
I could watch Tessa, Dodie, and Orla dance to anything.
and best, if they all dance together
Tessa, Dodie, Orla and Maisie!
So true!

that was the idea! by the end of the sequence I know longer see the other person as a threat - and suddenly, we're in sync
@@orlagartland I loved this song and pretending so much they’re so relatable ❤️
@@orlagartland HOLD ONNn I DIDN't EXPECT YOU TO ACTUALLY REPLY OML
i can see from your perspective, now that you shared it;

@@orlagartland To me the other person at the end seems to be the one insecure looking at your character
lyrics!!!!
I love the way you sing
Oh, I've been tryna copy every word you say
I love the way you think
You have this way of knowing it'll be okay
Where'd you get that confidence from?
'Cause you wear it like a coat
All this feeling second best
It's got me by the throat
I know
That I've been obsessing in the worst way
Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet
She told me to eat well and try to love myself
Then maybe I won't wish that I was someone else
(Tell me how, tell me how)
To be more like you
Look I don't wanna fight
No, I just wanna swap our bodies for a day
Imagine I could drive
With the top down
Back and forth across LA
Every time she mentions your name
Oh, she says it like a prayer
Getting caught up in the syllables
I wish I didn't care
But no
Oh, maybe I'm the one she had to outgrow
Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet
She told me to eat well and try to love myself
Then maybe I won't wish that I was someone else
Oh, I know that I've been flirting with the enemy
But please don't be so perfect right in front of me
I think of all the things that I will never be
(Tell me how, tell me how)
To be more like you
To be more like you
To be more like
To be more like you
To be more like you
To be more like you
To be more like
To be more like you
And look
It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true
I got these insecurities
They're all mine, there's nothing you can do, do, do, do, no
And look
It's true, it's true, it's true, it's true
The other day I caught myself
Just looking at pictures of you, you, you, you, you, no
Oh, I heard it from a woman on the internet
She told me to live a life of no regret
So maybe I won't take you on as such a threat
Tell me how, tell me how
Oh, I know that I've been flirting with the enemy
But please don't be so perfect right in front of me
I think of all the things that I will never be
(Tell me how, tell me how)
To be more like you
To be more like you
To be more like
To be more like you
To be more like you
To be more like you
To be more like
To be more like you
thank you!

@@orlagartland Have you ever met someone or worked with someone you look(ed) up to who this song is based on? It certainly feels like it!
THE SHEER JOY THAT WATCHING THEM DANCE AND SMILE TOGETHER SPARKED IN MY SOUL
THIS IS STUNNING
thank you hannah! :')
Hannah!!! 🥰
Yes, Orla, YES!!!!
Ikrrr
love that the woman ends up copying orla/ they dance together~ the first impressions of anxiety/ intimidation/ idealising the person is diluted when they get to know each other and support each other ahh
TOTALLY IT! by the end I've made my peace with her and we're just.. in sync. we were never actually that different
VERIFIED WOW
@@orlagartland aw yeaa, totally! it comes across really well, and is a GORGEOUS video. perfection!
I love the growth in this song, especially with the dance. It's very much a rejection of the "not like other girls" mindset. Other girls are awesome! It's ok to want to be like them!!!
Holy wholesomeness. Excellent statement.
My sentiments exactly!
I love this so much.
Me too! I would totally love to see her in concert
I can’t wait till we get the buzzfeed/genius article “Orla Gartlan reveals the name of that woman on the internet”
I wanna know who taught you self care and smokey brown eyeshadow.
@@mr.worldwide4758 LMAO💗😅
the other dancer is cute tho 🥺😳
she is amazing! her name is Hannah Hornsby!

besides from being insanely talented and a musical genius you look so gorgeous in this
the way the girl helped her find herself but now she’s in the room alone too 🥺
this is just my goblin brain going off but at the end i get a hint of 'while you're trying to be more like someone they're also trying to be more like someone else"
totally! you get this feeling and then pass it on
i also got that at the end! so well done
Absolutely agree! Love your PFP btw so cute
I love your music so much. It’s so beautiful and poignant, while at the same time catchy.
when you can't tell if you want to be that person or be WITH that person...
HEAR ME OUT. dodie and Orla Gartland dancing TOGETHER.
Yes
This is for the people who are waiting , listening and have finished the song
And think it’s a bop
I love the moment after they first dance together with Orla behind, and then you see her expression embodying all the self-doubt in the world.
the drowning pain of constant comparison and self doubt Orla conveys through her lyrics is so raw and relatable...such a masterpiece
and painful.
why am i like this?
i go crazy trying to figure it out;
overthinking the whispers
of the all the lonely people.
new friends creep between my teeth
but my heavy souvenirs
make me shout "get back!"
i'm only pretending to be more like you
oh god; i did it to myself:
my inevitable flatline.
god the color coordination of her whole look is SO satisfying!!
So fun!
ah thank you king of music videos
Love the dancing. Also love certain lyrics especially, "Every time she mentions your name...Oh, she says it like a prayer, Getting caught up in the syllables" Also "I know that I've been flirting with the enemy, but please don't be so perfect right in front of me."
I wish she posted the premiere date closer to the event. I can’t wait five days. I’m impatient
Update: it was totes worth it
I'm not sure I'll survive the wait ;)
only 10 mins now
Whats the event?
Could this be more perfect? x
thank you Mary! :')
Mary is here! Cool!
I'm convinced Mary Spender and I watch the exact same music videos on youtube.
Those pants are the star of the show 🤩🤩
That sunlight effect at the end of the first refrain gets me EVERY TIME ugh it's so good
Definitely one of my favorite songs from Orla, hopefully they'll have More Like You in Heartstopper's upcoming seasons because it would fit so well based on the plot!

unbelievable! perfectly! sensual ! The natural movement of bodies in real life! Emotions! Experiences from poetry and music! Perfectly!!! Thanks for the little miracle!!!!

2 peeps having fun i love it
A wonderful body of work with the song and video!
So goooooood
Love that Dubliner coming through on “throat”. Reminds me of my two favourite place names in Dublin, Tree Arena (aka The Forest), and Bored Gosh.
wow the video really supports the song, beautiful choreography!
I've watched this a dozen times and every time all I can do is smile. Perfect video for this song. Perfect song. ;-)
my mom says u really are gifted with that voice Orla:)
And her voice is kind of Addicting. I love it
My fav. part is the "to be more like you (to be more like you - be more like)". Such a bop
When a song gives a nostalgic spring 2014 vibe, even thought it's released in 2021
I've never heard a song that describes that feeling so well, it's so beautiful, I can't stop listening to it.
For real doe, it's been a while since I've so instantly become obsessed with a song. This shit is fire.
ICONIC i love this so much
Fantastic job! With everything! Wow!
THIS VIDEO IS SO CUTE I LOVE WHEN THEY START SMILING TOGETHER!!
and i love the song of course!!!
Every time y'all do the low-five and the little hip pop I get more serotonin in my brain than I've ever had in my life.
anna & elsa are getting crazyyy
lmaooo
ORLA I LOVE U THIS IS SO GOOD
The song, her voice, the aesthetic, the outfit, EVERYTHING i love it
Awesome song! Awesome video! Orla Gartland is phenomenal! YT algorithm finally comes through presenting this to me only one day after it was posted!
Amazing song and video! ✨ I hope you can come back to Sweden on tour when the pandemic is over 🇸🇪💖
Her hair and makeup is awesome!! She is sooo pretty!!
I wonder how long it took them to learn the steps and how much of it is improvised
I saw two women dancing and clicked
I love the dancing and the emotions shown
I love how Orlas hair matches her outfit
I love how I can feel this kind of dancing
Reminds me that I first liked to watch dancing with Elliot Page and their partner
It’s like poetry you can interpret it how you want
Same with dodie and her new vid
Dodie and Orla took me through 2020, Spotify rewind be my witness!
