The lyrics of this song are utter perfection! The two that hit my core every time are “I’m so fucking self aware, it’s exhausting” & “Oh, who are you so afraid to be...”
Never forgot how i first came to know orla through her song inevitable It was almost exactly around this time last year and i never quite got over what that song (the mv particularly) made me feel I was overcome with emotions to the point i actually cried ( and it surprised me ) And now listening to this one I’m overcome with that same feeling once again and i love it
I’ve listened to this song so many times for the music contest. I thought I grew tired of it. But I’m defo not! I could listen to just Orla Gartland all day. Love ya
Lyrics I saw the face in the window Lighting up a cigarette Smoky brown eye-shadow I learnt it from a woman on the internet Oh, how the hell have you been, babe? Put your coat on the bed Let me get you a cup, sip it up, up right to your head All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting And no matter how I try I repeat it every night, every night, every night, еvery night I'm done pretеnding, pretending, done pretending All of my heroes are way more sad than me Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending? Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be? I lied about liking your dress I lied about sticking around I lied about knowing the band that You talked and talked all night about So take it up with the jury 'Cause I don't really care anymore And if you listen real close you might Just hear the penny drop on the floor All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting And no matter how I try I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night I'm done pretending, pretending, done pretending All of my heroes are way more sad than me Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending? Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be? Am I the only one pretending Pretending, one pretending? Am I the only one pretending (leave me alone) Pretending, one pretending? Am I the only one pretending (I wanna go home) Pretending, one pretending? Am I the only one pretending (leave me alone) Pretending, one pretending? Am I the only one pretending (I wanna go...) Pretending, one pretending, pretending?
This is closest to the first version I heard and fell in love with. It's still so beautiful and really moving. I love the video and that very nostalgic VHS feel it brings.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UKULELE COVERS FROM EARLY DAYZ?!?!?! SPECIFICALLY HEY YA?! (I may go a lil overboard spamming all ya videos inquiring bout the absence of those vids for they were golden) you're bloody brilliant.
this song just hits different. this version hits different but the song in general. it just does. i dont make the rules. anyways stan orla gartland for clear skin & for random cats to approach you on the street and let you stroke them.

Ralfie ruiz- My minds a mess bud. Help me out. A talks all i really need from you. Please dont be ashamed or scared to talk to me still. Its seriously important you should know how to reach me. Please i need you. I need this from only you. Your my only vein i could ask for help like this from. Please, sincerely; your friend and fan for life
It’s a travesty that you are not famously famous. Maybe it’s all for the better. Fame is...exhausting. This way we get to keep YOU for a little while longer and not get whoever fame tries to turn you into. 🥰
in the summer of 2018, right after i dropped out of university, i interned at a recording studio in my city. it was terrible, i hated it so much, the hours were brutal and i wasn't paid and i didn't even get to do anything beyond cleaning bathrooms and preparing fruit trays. all i learned that summer was that i would rather work in live events than recording, 10 times out of 10. this video reminded me of that time, made me a. remember how sad i was that summer and b. miss the hell out of the beautiful spaces i sometimes got to tidy up or set up sessions in. analog is so special and i'm a big nerd lol
i’m so glad the tape got saved
omg me too
Everything about this is so aesthetically pleasing in a way I can't comprehend
all hail the dad cam
Damn I hope this gets put on Spotify...
i miss the shows so much cant wait till all this is normal so I can see u again
Thank you!
A new video with a free download? Oh man, I've never clicked on a notif so fast in my entire life LOL
Too good
Amazing work here !
Love from France!
I'm obsessed by your voice 😍😍!!
Excellent little song Orla congratulations to you and all involved.
Greetings from Mexico (:
Merry Christmas Orla :)
is this version on Spotify?? I need it please
I want to go to your concerts and dance my ass off!
what cam did you use ? this is pretty sick u noooooo
Im new sub♡´･ᴗ･`♡
I love youuuuuu
0:52 To me "I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting" is the best line in this song. The way you sing it just hits different
completely agree
this!!! i listen to the song on repeat just to wait for this line
this made me yearn for something i don't have a name for
:')
technolgia, nostalgia for a time before the internet.
friends
Authenticity maybe? Being real? Living a life full of meaning?
i've heard this song a thousand times in a thousand different versions and it still hits the same
I think each one hits so differently all amazing in there own ways
Literally same uhhhhh
That's pretty Hi-Fi
looool
Yeah that was a pretty funny surprise, in fact way more hifi than most indie bands, great quality nonetheless
My favorite version, I love the space in the arrangement. Just excellent. Although I have to say it - a 16-track Studer is hardly lo-fi!!
The lyrics of this song are utter perfection! The two that hit my core every time are “I’m so fucking self aware, it’s exhausting” & “Oh, who are you so afraid to be...”
This sounds way more sad than the other one and I love it. So nostalgic, so beautiful
I feel like Orla is always a half step away from creating one of those hits that defines an era
the tea towels on the drums :33
classic move
THANK YOU FOR THE FREE DOWNLOAD LINK ORLA
OF COURSE bb
This gave me so much nostalgia to the super old school videos of Paramore I grew up with 🥺 thank you for choosing to film it like this!
I'm getting stressed out just thinking about being a session musician on real tape.
Never forgot how i first came to know orla through her song inevitable
It was almost exactly around this time last year and i never quite got over what that song (the mv particularly) made me feel
I was overcome with emotions to the point i actually cried ( and it surprised me )
And now listening to this one
I’m overcome with that same feeling once again and i love it
Takes me back to my childhood. The glory days of VHS.
Just...lov it ❤ what a great artist you are, im just amazing how seem so easy for you to sing with your soul💕 a lot of love from a fan in Chile🌈❤

Lyrics
I saw the face in the window
Lighting up a cigarette
Smoky brown eye-shadow
I learnt it from a woman on the internet
Oh, how the hell have you been, babe?
Put your coat on the bed
Let me get you a cup, sip it up, up right to your head
All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, еvery night
I'm done pretеnding, pretending, done pretending
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be?
I lied about liking your dress
I lied about sticking around
I lied about knowing the band that
You talked and talked all night about
So take it up with the jury
'Cause I don't really care anymore
And if you listen real close you might
Just hear the penny drop on the floor
All the people over there, they don't seem to have a care
I'm so fucking self-aware, it's exhausting
And no matter how I try
I repeat it every night, every night, every night, every night
I'm done pretending, pretending, done pretending
All of my heroes are way more sad than me
Am I the only one pretending, pretending, one pretending?
Oh, who are you so afraid to be, to be, to be, to be, to be?
Am I the only one pretending
Pretending, one pretending?
Am I the only one pretending (leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am I the only one pretending (I wanna go home)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am I the only one pretending (leave me alone)
Pretending, one pretending?
Am I the only one pretending (I wanna go...)
Pretending, one pretending, pretending?
I love this so much and to think it was nearly lost forever!
Great song to end this bad 2020
This is closest to the first version I heard and fell in love with. It's still so beautiful and really moving. I love the video and that very nostalgic VHS feel it brings.

This is so cooooool with 6 o’s , yes i counted that cause i am bored 😑
Can’t stop listening ❤️
The video could be from the seventies, sound quality is from today ✨
Not so far from where I live, there is a village called... Gartland. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartland Any relation?
Thanks to Normal People, I found this amazing musician. What a masterpiece
why does she pronounce "pretending" so differently from the record? just curious
don't get me wrong - i love your music. but those band sessions gotta be hella depressing, considering all of your lyrics.
Why are you so perfect? This version is so good
Good grief girl, I've gone from 'More like you to this' to this - Stop it, you're just showing off now x
i'm so obsessed Orla :) your music is so strong and touching. it's even nicer in lo-fi... heavens
in the summer of 2018, right after i dropped out of university, i interned at a recording studio in my city. it was terrible, i hated it so much, the hours were brutal and i wasn't paid and i didn't even get to do anything beyond cleaning bathrooms and preparing fruit trays. all i learned that summer was that i would rather work in live events than recording, 10 times out of 10. this video reminded me of that time, made me a. remember how sad i was that summer and b. miss the hell out of the beautiful spaces i sometimes got to tidy up or set up sessions in. analog is so special and i'm a big nerd lol
These are my favorite versions 🖤
I adore you creations!
I heard about you two weeks ago but I already know all your songs by heart :D I love your music and I can't wait for new songs. Merry christmas 😊
Merry christmas and happy new songs. I love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Loved it!!! What a great version performed by talented musicians. :)
i got the big sad this morning, then i got a notification for this and got the big happy instead
every version of this song kills me in the best way
beautifullll
i want to talk with this 3 guys who disliked this 😡😡
Oh, I feel so old. I remember watching this on MTV in late 1998.
amaaaaaaazing
I don't know if she needs a hug, or if I do.
you’re a fucking legend
Her shirt says "You Bore Me."
Yesssss love this and you 💖 even after hearing it a bazillion times lol
Reminds me of my childhood
