Lyrics:
If I could have held my cheeks a little higher,
Long enough for you to smile.
If I could have held your hand a little tighter,
Maybe you’d have stayed a while.
Would it all be different if i made better decisions
If I picked my words like cherries would you laugh?
If I just asked gravity to work a little harder
Do you think that maybe you could fall in love?
I would save so many tears I’d build a sea.
We would sail upon forever
Far away from all your fears
To a land where people never go to sleep.
Cause if I could be with you
I would already be living in my dream
If you’d entertain my little explanation
Long enough for me to try.
Try to find an answer hidden in your shadows
Spark a little light inside your eyes.
I could make a potion that would sweeten up the ocean
Maybe I’d spin cotton candy from the clouds?
Why you still so quiet? Nothing good can come of silence
How I wish that you could tell me out loud.
I would save so many tears I’d build a sea
We would sail upon forever
Far away from all your fears
To a land where people never go to sleep
Cause if I could be with you
I would already be living in a world that I designed
The day I looked into your eyes;
You’re all I’ll ever need.
I won’t ever ask, again, for anything.
Cause if I could be with you, I would already be living in my dream.

I tried to say this to everyone at the premiere but it ended before I could send it:
I feel like I am almost literally bursting with love for you! For sharing vulberable moments together and feeling your incredibly strong and powerful support. You are the best family ever. I have never known such kindness, loyalty and all round gorgeous loveliness since RUclips managed to connect me with you all. I will never take you for granted. I will always contribute as much to this community as I can.
May we feel stuff right in the feels together forever. 💜
The feeling is so very mutual Lolli.
@LolliWren you have no idea how much you mean to all of us... you are brilliant, talented, charming, and a truly beautiful person. I for one am honored to be part of your community.
Thank you for letting us share in your story, It was very touching it went straight to the heart.❤
Loli we love you
I'm so very sad that situations prevented me from being at the premiere. _Build a Sea_ is amazingly beautiful ... as are you. The support that the community has shown to you is something that naturally happens for someone so special as you. 💗
We of course knew that you're an excellent vocalist. Now we also learn you're a top-notch songwriter. Thank you for creating and sharing this.
This is the second or third composition of her I’ve seen and she’s brilliant.
Lolli, you are truly a fairy mother. You are so genuine and radiate such positivity and nurturing love. This wonderful community you have built is really a extension of you and we are simply reflecting back all the love that you give to us. 🫶🫶 I think the new song is my favorite of yours and as I was listening I kept thinking of you telling us that you were singing it as the five-year-old Lolli trying to keep your parents from splitting and it made it so much more poignant, emotional and vulnerable. I really do think it’s your best songwriting and performance. I hope this song gets a great deal of exposure and brings you all the success that you deserve (and you deserve a lot)❤️❤️
David, thank you so much, I am so grateful for you ❤️
This is better than anything in the top 100 charts. Awesome piece, this needs to be everywhere.
I have one complaint, It was to short. I want more! Because it was so beautiful. like a delicate beautiful flower. ❤
Love that Daphne let you feature in her new video !
I've been a big fan of TFVM for quite some time now, but I absolutely love being allowed to follow along as Lolli finds herself! Much love @LolliWren
I love how vulnerable you show yourself, not only in your vocals, but also in the video itself. A beautiful thing we cherish.
Ah! I missed the premiere but I watched it and I love it! Beautiful singing, painful lyrics and heartfelt performance! Big hug!! 💜💜🫂🫂
UGH, the emphasis with the breaths, so good! There's already so much emotion in conveyed in your voice, but that really seals the deal. Yet another amazing song, I love the highs and lows as well as the quick vibrato in all the right places. Your voice has such a unique quality that I can't seem to get enough of. Please keep making music so it can continue getting stuck in my head, haha. Amazing job with this, it hit me right in the feels.
This is absolutely astonishing, Lolli. This deserves endless radio play and tiktok virality and whatever other measures... uh Spotify streams? Just... all the things.
A sign of a good song and artist is when it's not the type of music you listen to but watch it until the end in appreciation of what you're hearing/seeing. Thank you for sharing.
So beautiful and melancholy. This is one of the most heartbreaking songs I've ever heard. I wouldn't want the singer to have less compassion for the other person or to care for them less, but I wish she could care for herself, too.
Right from the beginning ("If I could have held my cheeks a little higher, long enough for you to smile") the singer questions if she could have made her loved one happier by hiding her own feelings behind a forced smile. Throughout the song, she wonders what she could have done differently, but never asks the same of the other person.
When I heard, "I would save so many tears, I'd build a sea" I wondered if she'd save them by not shedding them or rather by gathering them all up. When what followed was "We would sail upon forever/Fly away from all your fears/To a land where people never go to sleep," I thought that by not sleeping, the person she loved would escape their nightmares (fly away from their fears.) Then the next line was "‘Cause if I could be with you/I would already be living in my dream" and I realized that by not sleeping, the singer would escape her reality (live within her dream.) Just heartrending. I hurt so much for both of these people.
The singer looks composed and beautiful (and dry!) while she questions things she could have changed (faked her smile, held on tighter, cherry-picked her words.) Next, she considers asking gravity to work a little harder so the other person might fall in love. Such a clever phrase, but also just so wistful and lovely. Even though the question is fanciful, it is still rooted in reality; in its most common usage, gravity is the force that causes things (including people!) on Earth to fall. That phrase is also a beautiful transition: the next time the singer talks about changing things, she is crying and bedraggled. She appears to have just come from the sea, and thus the line between reality and dreamscape is blurred. Ingenious; the image is perfectly reflected in the lyrics. The singer is no longer wondering what she could have done in the real world, but now talking about things she could only do were she dreaming (making a potion to turn the salty ocean sweet, or spinning cotton candy from the clouds.)
One word really stood out to me when the singer cries "Why you still so quiet, nothing good can come of silence/How I wish that you could tell me out loud." She said "could." If she had said "would" it might have conveyed at least a hint of frustration. With "could" the singer seems to recognize that the person they love isn't able to put their feelings into words. There is no recrimination here, only compassion and pain.
“Cause if I could be with you /I would already be living in a world that I designed/The day I looked into your eyes/You’re all I’ll ever need/I won’t ever ask, again, for anything/Cause if I could be with you, I would already be living in my dream.” If I hadn’t already been crying, I would have started here. The protagonist is so empathetic, caring, imaginative, and creative; she is brimming over with love for others, but she doesn’t seem to see or value any of this in herself. She would give up everything she is and everything she could be for this one person. “All we need is love” is true, but we also need love for all, including ourselves.
**DISCLAIMER** I'm just sharing my first impressions of this gorgeous song, and IN NO WAY claiming or even implying that my interpretation is more valid than that of anyone else. If the song meant something else to you, I (and I'm sure the other fans) would love to hear it! If anyone even reads this, I hope that nobody comments that some interpretations are right and others wrong.**end of nervous babble**
I said during the premiere that I'd comment. I COMMENTED!
I left a comment when Rosalie interviewed you last week, and I admitted that I rarely do so because I always feel that others have already said all that I would say, and more eloquently than I ever could. Rosalie thanked me "for being part of the convo w us by listening and processing and commenting." Her response has had a big impact on me. I realized that a comment doesn't have to say something that others haven't already said; it can have a positive effect even if you don't say very much. Taking a moment to write something is better than never writing anything at all; at the very least it tells the creator that you watched their content and it meant something to you. (This isn't rocket science, but it was still a revelation to me. 😂)
Anyway, I'm not sure how my response to "Build A Sea" ended up being 10000x longer than I meant it to be. I just love you (and Daphne) and I found the song incredibly moving and beautiful. ❤
I’m actually tearing up reading this because your interpretation is exactly and I mean EXACTLY the intention I put into writing them. I am absolutely thrilled to read that they came across to someone the way I intended them too. Of course, I get so excited and I absolutely love when people apply their own meaning to lyrics too. It’s just remarkable that we’ve managed to communicate with each other in this way.
You are so insightful and wonderful! Any video creator would be blessed to read a comment written by you- including me. Thank you my gorgeous 💜
@@LolliWren I had stopped crying over the song and now I'm crying over your reply! I honestly can't even put into words how much it means to me to receive it. 💜
@@zuzu_cerulean Thank you for this, I truly enjoy reading others' interpretations of songs but yours was particularly insightful and well written.
@@NativeNewMexican Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely comment! I didn't think many people would read it once they hit "read more" and saw that wall of text. 😄 I'm genuinely so happy that you found it worth your time.
So beautiful....simple and perfect. My ears are in heaven. Thank you hun. 💜💖🧚
So very good. From video production to vocals to emotional delivery. Well done, lass!
Your music and talent continue to astound me, Lolli. I was blown away by this song. It made me cry. But that means it was written from the heart, right? You are amazing and you deserve whatever accolades come your way. I missed the premier. For some reason i am not getting the notifications. Anyway, i know you probably won't see this, but i just wanted you to know that you've touched my heart and made me realize how much I've missed singing and feeling music. ❤
I literally fell over your video commenting Pavarotti this morning and was already mesmerised by your passion. When I went to the star page of that channel I saw you have a second one, and of course I had to check it out to see what kind of music you are doing.
I already heard your voice, it was clear to me that you are a wonderful singer, but .... this song has me in tears even now thinking of it! You're really doing some great magic here transporting big, big emotions so very beautifully. ❤ Love it ❤ Thank you for sharing ❤
Beautiful Lolli! ❤
I've been following you since pandemic 2020, following all kinds of voice coaches reacting to Dimash and the a Capella train groups. You've always outshone everyone in both analysis, spotting little details others would miss, and simply just being more entertaining.
I've followed your channel from its simple days of just a few CDs on the wall and the ambulance passing by. Just recently saw you react to Pavarotti and Bobby Mc Ferrin and I'm really loving your new look. 😊 I've always enjoyed how passionately you react to music.
This is my first listen. I guess I was hoping you'd use all your fantastic range - I know you can go low. This started slow but surely grew emotionally strong.
I guess all I want to say is THANK YOU❤ for being you, doing your thing, and sharing your joy and passionate self for us fans. It's been a joy, and hopefully will continue.
Is there a concert planned? I really want to know when. ❤
The word that came to mind listening to this the first time was magical. But the thing is, while it definitely has that feel, it has so much more- It has soul.
There is a very palpable feel to your songs because so much of you goes into them. Your songs are like experiencing a seventeen course meal in a McDonald's world; A very welcome change to the unfortunate, all-too-familiar corporate algorithms that pass as so much of music today.
When I get to hear something like this, a song that flows over and through me, a song that is felt, not just heard, I appreciate it for the rare gift that it is. Thank you again Ms. Wren, for adding a touch of beauty and depth to a world in desperate need of it.
If I just asked gravity to work a little harder
Do you think that maybe you could fall in love?
What a beautiful beautiful line!
This song is haunting and has something that brings me back to the tender memories of "The Snowman" theme song. But, sung in your inimitable and heavenly voice...
Thank you Lolli. Just... Thank you.
Exquisitely beautiful building to painfully powerful. BRAVO!!!
Truly, thank you for this piece of perfection.
You need to find a good promoter... This is gold!! At they least they should put you on Sunday Brunch by July. I have lots of fingers crossed for you❤
Such a beautiful song. Your original music deserves so much more attention than it gets. I think you should be a superstar.
What a bloody gorgeous piece of cinema!!!! My very own Disney princess. It’s one of the most beautiful songs and it made me tear up. Stunning xxx
Dear Lord Lolli! I literally was dreading watching this because I was afraid you’d make me cry and damn it if I wasn’t right. Gorgeous song from a gorgeous soul. Love this so much 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
Absolutely beautiful in so many ways! Well done!!!
Simply Delicious! you treated me too somewhere special - Thank you Lolli 💕
You've got me crying, Lolli. That was absolutely beautiful and heartbreaking. The light in you is a very special thing to behold and I'm so grateful to you for sharing it so vulnerably. 🙏🏻
Absolutely amazing!!!!! Sublime songwriting and performance!!!! I’m in awe ❤
Lolliiiiii! I couldn't resist squeezing in a viewing or two before I set off again. Too many good things to say. A tear and two tissues later... and I have to drive! Celebrate well, Blue One. You are making Herstory! 💙💓💙💓💙
Amazing Lolli 💐!
I love how the unarmed, daydreamy voice morphs with the more mature voice that’s dealing with reality and heartache. Every time I listen, I find myself floating between these two worlds, and it’s beautiful
Sadly, really, really sadly I can only press like once. This is so pure, nice and a real pleasure for my ears and souls. The voice, cracks and the portrait vulnerability just so bitter sweet! Love it, thanks for sharing and making your great talent public.
I really loved this. So melancholy, emotional and sad. And so beautifully performed. Can't get enough of your voice.
The clip is so slick and perfect for the song. Your crew and collaborators should be showered with accolades. Well done, all. Musically it was also perfect. Even the dark little off key tinkle on the grand after the first chorus was an ominous all-or-nothing moment which made the pleading more powerful and demanding. A tsunami of emotion. 🌊
Come on guys, let's post this and suggest this everywhere
Added to my favourite playlist. :) And shared on FB.
My goodness, Lolli. This is simply gorgeous. Congratulations on yet another beautiful song and thank you so much for all that you share of yourself and your art, not forgetting Daphne in this either. This really was quite touching. Thank-you.
After seeing and hearing this video, there was only silence for a while. This was so emotional, so beautiful, so.... I'm in tears...
Clever lyrics, catchy tune, lovely voice. Well done Lolli Wren!
Love this Lolli ❤
Absolutely mesmerising. Thank you for creating, training and sharing. Massive fan!
Hey Lolli, you topped my expectations, this will get my summer song 2024. Lovely melody and peaceful lyrics - what our planet needs
Sooo, when is this going on the radio? Top 50 worldwide anyone?
YEP
I dunno. Radio is a dieing medium and is so currupt that you have to make a lot of people rich before they'll let you sing. Right here on the interwebs, were it's (mostly) free and (mostly) run on love and word of mouth is probably the best place for her to be.
@@kennethpryde966 damn, you'd be great fun at parties
@@fireblow6842 Yes. I am, in fact, a joyless shit. On the other hand, I really do think being on the radio isn't the win that it used to be. Having a hundred-thousand people or so online, who love you to pieces, is of so much more value.
My God, Lolli! Words just don’t do justice for how beautiful this song is!
My goodness young lady. You sing with such emotion. Thank you for sharing your amazing gift 🎁 ❤
You truly live up to the title "Fairy Voice Mother". You sound so vulnerable, yet powerful. This song is absolutely beautiful, and one I will be listening to on repeat
My goodness, you continue to kill it!!! Another amazing work of art. The Lyrics are emotionally relatable & touching. Your heartfelt performance is felt in your tone. Don't stop! Bravo!!!
My goodness, Lolli. Simply beautiful!
Omg…am I ever happy I just found your channels. Best rabbit hole I ever went down. Thank you
Love the emotion. Love the mood. Thank you for lighting up my day. Cheers luv !! 🍀💌
You're awesome Lolli, wishing you the very best in everything
Was so taken by your beautiful voice I forgot to mention that the video was amazing as well. Well done to all involved. A very talented group.
This brought me to sit with a peaceful emptiness inside. My brain translated the object of the song into a very different thing for me of huge significance and it gave it a place to rest but also pour out. That probably makes no sense at all but it means a great deal. Thank you Lolli. Beautifully done.
I think it absolutely makes a great deal of sense to the people who have already been there themselves. Even though I don't understand it completely I can tell that it's a wonderfully on point description
I really like this song and those lyrics. Thank you very much for this huge gift, Lolli!
Lolli...I really am glad you shared your painful point of reference for the lyrics. I am glad I didn't have to interpret. It help us all to know you on a deeper level and appreciate all the more the gift you have...pulling from life lived, lessons learned and aspirations for a grand future. I love every cover you've done and really appreciate your originals. One last thought...I hope you heal to the deepest depths of your soul for any loss you have suffered...if your losses produce this beauty, what will your fullness bring!!!
What a wonderful melody and song composition. I also like the growls mixed with the crescendos and the great piano. So talented! And beautifully shot. You go Lolli!
This song is phenomenal! You should be very proud of this, Lolli 👏
Just discovered your reaction videos this morning. Now to find you also release your own music?! Well that just makes today a win-win! You've got a new fan.
Simply gorgeous. There was little doubt about this fact though it should still be said. Thanks for sharing such amazing work.
Absolutely gorgeous ❤ You’re insanely talented, Lolli. Thank you for sharing your light with us 💕🧚♀️💐
