"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 :]
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
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.
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 CZcams 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!
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
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)
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.
@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.
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? 💔
Thinking about my ex whenever I hear this song, we started out as friends after the relationship but the friendship was toxic almost as much as the relationship, I still miss him but I get it now, we had to be distant and end the friendship. He was very codependent on me and an addict and I just have my own shit and couldn't be everything for him Thank you for this song it's helped so much
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 😟
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.
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.)
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.
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
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 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 really like your music. Good sounds and a nice voice (in my ears). Please go on in writing and producing songs. Specially unplugged and life like this. From Switzerland 🇨🇭
“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!!
2:26 "I just wanna sing with you as we're walking home" that broke my heart.
I've never related to an an artist so much as I've done to you. Your music is amazing!
my heart
"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.

I feel your pain so much man.
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"

Give it time....
@@jgmccabe ♥️
Reach out! The phone goes both ways. Might be hard, you might be rejected, but you gotta try
“You’re in every stripy t-shirt that I own” they are both wearing stripy shirts. Coincidence? I think not
: )
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 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

Check out normal people :)
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
Three years later i just discovered this song and its line for line, my feelings and thoughts lately.
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.
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
Can't ever get over this beautiful song
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.
missing the doggie gets me every time
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)
Orla, you are a huge inspiration. Please stay amazing!
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!
Well yes, and the light is freaking fabulous!
My best friend and I performed this at our school and I was sooo nervous, which only made it sound worse haha. Amazing as always Orla!
How did it go?
Norris Productions It wasn’t my best performance but it was very emotional and people seemed to like it. Thanks for asking
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.
i SCREAMED when i saw this in my feed holy shit, you're actually a legend Orla never change ❤️
orlas voice is so buttery and smooth but also so intense? at the same time? how?
Such an emotional song. Thank you for putting this out. I enjoy coming back since its release.
here’s to hoping she blows up, expecting to see u at the brits next year orla !
Me too dude....me too
Hey Orla, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your music and its helped me through a lot. Stay amazing ❤❤❤
Normal people sent me here and I’m in love with this 😍
This song is pure magic. But let's be real. Orla Gartland is pure magic
Profound. Very deep, deeply painful. But such sweet work. So relatable.
Always gonna miss that dog too.
I wouldn't be able to play this man, way to heavy on my heart
Never related to an artists music as much as I do to Orla's. The most talented ginger. 💛💛💛
@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.
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?
💔
STILL LOVE YOU ORLA ❤❤❤
this feels like a movie
Thinking about my ex whenever I hear this song, we started out as friends after the relationship but the friendship was toxic almost as much as the relationship, I still miss him but I get it now, we had to be distant and end the friendship. He was very codependent on me and an addict and I just have my own shit and couldn't be everything for him
Thank you for this song it's helped so much
I can relate to this man, both sides.
my heart broke a million times while listening to this
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 😟
Just gonna brb and cry, thanks Orla
Her style in making music is like this Song of Boy George Kama Kama ............, never the same and this is it
the first boy i have ever been in love with broke up with me yesterday and now this song means so much more
this song breaks me every time I listen to it
I love you Orla 💓
so in love with your music! it touches my heart, my soul, just everything. i'm in tears by this song. so wonderful.
your songs are another level of realness.
audibly gasped when I saw the notification for this
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.
this is so beautiful 🥺🥺 I swear I fall more and more in love with heavy every time I listen to it
Heavy is such a beautiful song, I can’t wait to hear it live!
SO TELL ME.....WHY MY EYES HAVE TO BE SO SWEATY🎵
I love you Orla
this song truly is heavy
Perfection in so many ways
Spotify’s Daily Wellness brought me here and I’m grateful!
This song is so so so special. Thank you♥️ really
This song full my soul ♡
Literal chills!
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
Orla, I think you've found a very sweet spot between your truth and sounding commercial. I love your art!
I love the smooke from the kettle with the song👌
Ah I love your voice and sound Orla!
This is so pure and utterly beautiful
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.)
Live sessions are the best! So pro status!
Awesome...plus BANGS!! Interesting choice.
Every artist gets only a handful of absolutely beautiful songs. This is without a doubt one of hers
This is a hidden gem for all a lot of people. They're missing out something beautiful
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
This song hurts in the best way possible
Orla,
I have follow your youtuber accountand your music since 2016. Thank you for this song, it's truly amazing!!
wishing you the best xx
love the kettle steaming in the background
Whoever shoots your vids is so tasteful with the angles and transitions. (:
Beautiful beautiful beautiful 💔💔
ow my heart
Oof this hit the feels hard. Love it.
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.
Wow. Nice song, Orla, and nice job.
Hit right in the feels 🔥
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
I truly love this song.
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!!
the end of this song gets me every damn time
Wow... 😍
MY HEART
Damn, besides how great Orla's voice and this song is, these sessions are so beautifully shot that I just keep rewatching them.
Ahh I was just listening to this song and I got the notification for this! I adore this song Orla
I really love this 💕💕 love from Philippines
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
You really know you’re heartbroken when you can relate to every freaking word she’s singing. Damn.
But thank you.
Listening to this for the sixth time on repeat because Orla Gartland has ruined all other sound for me.
this song hits the right spot. every orla song does. i hope one day ill be as good as you are. huuuge inspiration.
Aaaaah that last glance at the camera was so fucking perfect!!! I can't wait for the full EP!
this song GETS ME. shiverssss every time 💔
I really like your music. Good sounds and a nice voice (in my ears). Please go on in writing and producing songs. Specially unplugged and life like this.
