  • a song about feeling like a useless spec whilst watching the world burn dowN AROUND YOU. (fun !!)
    lyrics:
    One night I had a dream
    that everything wasn't as bad as it seems
    now I just wanna go back
    Next day, I looked around
    about as helpful as the dirt on the ground
    now I just wanna go back
    My guard is down and I feel pathetic
    The world's gone mad and I just don't get it
    I can't even try
    The TV's on but I just see static
    and everything, feels so problematic
    so I'll cry 'til you pull the wool back over my eyes
    Two shots, into the crowd
    it all goes over my head like a cloud
    now I just wanna go back
    Maybe this is deja vu
    Maybe I can't see the fun
    Maybe it's just been a shit year for everyone
    Maybe I'm a coward being cryptic
    Or maybe this is all apocalyptic
    (chorus)
    Maybe this is turbulence
    Maybe it'll come and go
    Maybe it's a secret that we can only dream to know
    Maybe it's all there for us to ignore
    or maybe I just need to learn to smile more
    Maybe this is deja vu
    Maybe I can't see the fun
    Maybe it's just been a shit year for everyone
    Maybe I'm a coward being cryptic
    Or maybe this is all apocalyptic
    (chorus)

    Was drawn back to this song with everything that's been going on lately. This feels fitting for 2020 too. Orla's music is so comforting.

    • @GonzoConMojo
      @GonzoConMojo Před 7 lety +9

      I think it's in F, so the intro is: F - Bb - F - Bb / C.
      Verse (my guard...) is: F - A - Bb... F - A - Bb... F - A - Bb - A Bb A - G - Bb
      Chorus (maybe...) is: D - C - G... D - C - G
      And that's about it, watch out for details and enjoy.
      Btw: It's fun to play this with an upbeat-groove similar to swing (1, and 3, and 1, and 3).

  • @xavierduek2275
    @xavierduek2275 Před 7 lety +3

    For anyone looking for the chords, here it goes:
    Verse: F-Dm-Fmaj7-Dm-Bb-Gm-Bb-C
    Chorus: (my guard is down..) F-A7-Bb-Gm (some chord I can't figure out but you can play Bbm) F-A7-Dm (can't even try)
    F-A7-Bb (again weird chord/Bbm)-Gm-Bb (till you pool....)
    Verse
    Bridge: (maybe this is turbulence...) Dm-C-G
    Then chorus again
    Bridge...
    And that's all!
    When she plays the verse on the piano she starts by playing an F and then the higher note goes to D (to form the Dm) and then to E (to form Fmaj7) and comes back to Dm (I hope you understood my explanation :))
    Of course, these aren't the exact chords, but having listened to it like a million times, I think I can say they are quite close to the originals and sound great!
    PD: Orla if you ever read just wanted you to know that I love your music and pleaseeee keep on creating and sharing your beautiful art!
    PD2: I'm sorry if I have some mistakes, I am Argentinian and English isn't my native language.

    @GabrielMartinez-ec1il Před 5 lety +1

    Orla, I am the type that rarely cries; not because I don't want to, but because it is difficult to let my emotions loose enough. Music is my passion and the few times I have cried have been to music. Right now, I am going through a pivotal moment in my life, and I have many emotions bottled up. I stumbled upon your music today and for some reason, listening to this song moved me so much that I just started crying uncontrollably, and even now as I type, I am still tearing up. I thank you so much for that. I can tell you genuinely feel the music you write and it. You are truly a beautiful soul. Much love.

    Met with a young songwriter/entrepreneur/mover/shaker over coffee couple of months back. Her parents are fans of my early work (yikes) and encouraged the meeting. Anyway, when your name came up her 23 y/o eyes got wide as saucers, "YOU like Orla?" "Of course, love her work!" was my silver-haired reply. She asked if I liked Problematic. I hadn't heard it, I intentionally avoid my favorite young artists' very early works b/c I can't stand my early stuff and don't want to pigeonhole anyone else in a rut where they can never live down their first couple albums. But I listened to this one. Be proud, it's very good.
