this song is so so beautiful in a way i cannot express. outside the context of a romantic relationship as well, it could also be about losing a friendship or being overlooked by someone you call a friend which just hurts so much in a very specific way :") love u laufey
In an era of auto tuned, computer generated, corporation produced ‘music’, your songwriting and performance talents are exactly what is needed right now. Like the punk and grunge generations before that were answers to the past corporate problems with music, she is one of the answers to ours. Thank you for going against the grain and being a pioneer for the audiences starved for real music.
This is like feeling Merry-Go-Round from Howl's Moving Castle all over again. Her outfit looking like Sophie is just the cherry on top of the emotional parfait.
I can't wait to hear this song live with an orchestra, like A Night At The Symphony. This song is already one of my Laufey's favorites and a version like so could break my mind (and my heart, again)
My dad and i listen to your songs on our way to school and one thing we like about your music is that, you dont cut your breathe out which has a lot of effect. To me it puts more emotion to your music because without your deep breaths, it doesnt make you human.
Dude, two seconds into this vid, and I already know that I’m gonna cry from both the lyrics, and Laufey’s angelic voice T^T Love you! You’re doing great, and I wish to see you on your one day!
I would still be crying even if I couldn’t speak English, Laufey’s voice is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I literally want her music and only hers at my funeral.
this song holds a special place in my heart. laufey, YOU hold a special place in my heart. thank you for helping me get over every break up, thank you for helping me cry when i want to cry, thank you for making me feel less alone, thank you for letting me feel love and sadness and your "laufey feeling"; i am forever grateful.
It is rare that I am so emotional moved by a song the very first time I hear it. But this song and your voice are the best of the best. My heart was touched! I thought initially that Prince must have written this song. It is so deep and moving. I heard the song one time in an Alexa Jazz playlist and it made me immediately pause from what I was doing to do some research on you and this song. I wish that Prince was alive and I am sure he would want to collaborate with you. Thank you for this beautiful song. I don't want to listen to anymore of your songs because I can barely get this song out of my head. The world needs to hear your voice and lyrics. It will bring inner peace at a time when it is much needed. - Houston TX USA
dear laufey, I have always loved your music from the start and you’re my absolute role model :,) i hope you understand how much your music can impact anyones life and that you keep up writing masterpieces like this! it’s really insprational how you want to bring jazz to a generation like mine, and how it’s working. I wouldn’t have discovered bossa nova and jazz if it wasn’t for you. I’m really proud to be a fan of yours, I can’t wait to listen to more of your upcoming releases
I discovered you for the first time on ytb in 2021 and the first video I watched was you singing “moon river”. I was almost 13 years old then, and your songs changed my view of everything, and added sweet spices to my soul. I'll be 15 in a month, the past two years have changed a lot but your music, always, and forever soothes me.
I made a promise To distance myself Took a flight, through aurora skies Honestly, I didn't think about How we didn't say goodbye Just see you very soon It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm So I didn't call you For sixteen long days And I should get a cigarette For so much restraint No matter how long I resist temptation I will always lose It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you I've done the math There's no solution We'll never last Why can't I let go of this? So I broke my promise I called you last night I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have If it weren't for the sight of a boy Who looked just like you Standing out on Melrose Avenue It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing with you
This tune was on repeat for at least an hour of my commute to and from work lately. 🚙🔊🛣 Also, I've been telling as many people about you and all of your music, especially this new release. So painfully, realistically, & beautifully relatable for many. 🗣👂🥲💞💯 Totally love "all" of your music. Mwah! 😘 Chef's kiss of perfection! 👩🍳🤌💋 Tysm for sharing your gift of music. 🌐🤝🌐 Please stay healthy and take care. 🎼🎵🎶🎙🎹🤩💖💯
your voice is so incredibly clean laufey...the vibrato and the clean diminuendo all remind me of the cello its absolutely breathtaking i appreciate this so much
Somehow when she is singing home with her playing only the instrument...she brings magic and the song becomes really a masterpiece. Studio or with band something is not the same.
imagine if she suddenly sing this song in front of me. When i look at her i see Laufey, she make me interest with Laufey. Thanks Laufey for making this song 😢
this is what a true artist, and musician used to be like. composer, song writer, singer.... what talent. may you never exchange any of these for something lesser. may you continue to be an inspiration for others. thank you
Man... been in love since 2020 when I found your music during the pandemic. Helped me get through long lonely days and now, my days are uplifted because of your music. You are amazing Laufey.
I really, really love when she posts songs in her purest and most perfect voice, it's just the best thing about my day. Laufey, we really really love you so much.
I can't tell if it's the lyrics or the vocals or just everything about it but your songs always resonate with me. It encapsulates the sentiments and emotions of these situations absolutely perfectly. You are genuinely one of the best musicians of this generation
I'm just going through this, but I know it's the best for both of us. This song is my feelings I love how the piano sounds and it plays such a beautiful part in all of this. And Laufey's voice much more I love this. 💗
The last thing I expected to find on my trip to Iceland was a new favorite jazz singer. But I did. This song is lovely and I really like it in this simple arrangement. Looking forward to Bewitched.
I dont have neither a lover nor ex whom I miss. But, it applies to my family, i lost a sister, separated by choice not death. And it hurts so much. Couldnt cry or have a proper grief until I heard the song. The last verse, hurts the most. Thanks Laufey for always representing some parts of my life when words are hard to say or define. ❤❤❤
I sometimes imagine be just chilling with her on a warm sunday, dueting some bossa-nova in between cold mimosas. That would be such a delight of a day, she seems to be an adorable human being ❤
IMAGINE BEING LAUFEY'S NEIGHBOR AND BEING ABLE TO HEAR THIS ANGELIC VOICE IN THE MORNING 😭😭😭
free concerts 🤭
After a cup of coffee........
😭 I'd give anything
In my next life, I need to be a rock beside that wall
@@Edward_Cruz so real
WAKE UP LAUFEY JUST UPLOADED
Yessssssss 😭😭😭😭😭
Real!!
Ong
I have been awoken 🤧
Even this grandma is awake for her.👏wish my granddaughters can be like her 🌟
the bow in her hair, her voice, the piano, the lighting and THIS SONG!!! 🤩 laufey is so perfect i love her and her music sm 🫶🏻
and shes soo talented
Yeah I wish I was married to her.
@@jeremysmith9694You too, huh?
@@kevinm6790 yes sir.

this song is so so beautiful in a way i cannot express. outside the context of a romantic relationship as well, it could also be about losing a friendship or being overlooked by someone you call a friend which just hurts so much in a very specific way :") love u laufey
Even family
Exactly! It reminds me of my own brother he moved across the country and I miss him so much
It makes me cry bc the lyrics explain so well when you are no longer friends with your best friend even if it's about a romantic relationship..
i cant stop thinking of how EXTREMELY beautiful this is... her voice sounds like a cello... if that makes any sense
I think it sounds more like a viola but yeah her voice and a stringed instruments timbre are similar
Yes!
She actually plays the cello herself, so it TOTALLY fits! 😊❤
In an era of auto tuned, computer generated, corporation produced ‘music’, your songwriting and performance talents are exactly what is needed right now. Like the punk and grunge generations before that were answers to the past corporate problems with music, she is one of the answers to ours.
Thank you for going against the grain and being a pioneer for the audiences starved for real music.
Any music is real music if it's not stolen, but regardless, I agree! I love her soft yet homely tunes :)
alright dont judge btw this is probably slightly retuned
"It hurts to be something. It's worst to be nothing with you"😭‼️
She is singing to someone! You can feel it!
I can’t get over how blessed I am to be living in the same century as Laufey.
this !!!!!!!!!!
How does she not break down crying in the middle of the song
Please do more of these home recordings, they're beautiful
This is like feeling Merry-Go-Round from Howl's Moving Castle all over again. Her outfit looking like Sophie is just the cherry on top of the emotional parfait.
2:59 GOSH IM FEELING THIS ONE DEEP IN MY MARROW
istg its IMPOSSIBLE for laufey to make a bad song, she sounds like an angel and looks like one too, SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF PERFECT 😭😭!!
I can't wait to hear this song live with an orchestra, like A Night At The Symphony. This song is already one of my Laufey's favorites and a version like so could break my mind (and my heart, again)
My dad and i listen to your songs on our way to school and one thing we like about your music is that, you dont cut your breathe out which has a lot of effect. To me it puts more emotion to your music because without your deep breaths, it doesnt make you human.
laufey just has a voice akin to that of a singer in a 50's jazz bar, and despite not being born in this generation, she brings me great nostalgia
I love her for reviving a style of musical storytelling not seen in decades. I became an instant fan.
Dude, two seconds into this vid, and I already know that I’m gonna cry from both the lyrics, and Laufey’s angelic voice T^T Love you! You’re doing great, and I wish to see you on your one day!
Laufey is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for her one day.
her voice is so beautiful. if only singers nowadays sing like this
I would still be crying even if I couldn’t speak English, Laufey’s voice is probably the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. I literally want her music and only hers at my funeral.
this song holds a special place in my heart. laufey, YOU hold a special place in my heart. thank you for helping me get over every break up, thank you for helping me cry when i want to cry, thank you for making me feel less alone, thank you for letting me feel love and sadness and your "laufey feeling"; i am forever grateful.
Laufey is literally everything in life.
one of the best musicians we have nowadays…… just insanely talented and skilled!!!!
Already obsessed with this song, the lyrics,her angelic voice , love you❤

I made a promise
To distance myself
Took a flight, through aurora skies
Honestly, I didn't think about
How we didn't say goodbye
Just see you very soon
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm
So I didn't call you
For sixteen long days
And I should get a cigarette
For so much restraint
No matter how long I resist temptation
I will always lose
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
I've done the math
There's no solution
We'll never last
Why can't I let go of this?
So I broke my promise
I called you last night
I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have
If it weren't for the sight of a boy
Who looked just like you
Standing out on Melrose Avenue
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
Wow ...
What can I say .....
Awesome is not enough ...
Fantastic is not enough ....
This is Marvellous .
Thank you .
She is singing to someone. You can feel it!
even more beautiful that the original song. sometimes simplicity has the biggest effect🫶🏼
The way laufey never fails to make me cry with this song is CRAZY
This tune was on repeat for at least an hour of my commute to and from work lately. 🚙🔊🛣

MOTHER SERVED AND ATE 🙏🏼🙏🏼‼️
"It hurts to be something it's worse to be nothing with you." OH MY GOD it's 5am and I'm a grown ass man crying. BEAUTIFUL
Somehow when she is singing home with her playing only the instrument...she brings magic and the song becomes really a masterpiece. Studio or with band something is not the same.
Your voice sounds so angelic sometimes I think that Jesus is coming for a visit when I listen to you music 🫠
I’ve learned from experience to have a box of tissues on hand every time Laufey posts something 🥹
Fantastic. I think it's the first home recording of hers that has managed to capture the depth of her voice so well. I loved this.
imagine if she suddenly sing this song in front of me. When i look at her i see Laufey, she make me interest with Laufey. Thanks Laufey for making this song 😢
Thank you Laufey for your beautiful compositions.

THE LAST CHORUS MAKES ME WANT TO CURL UP IN A BALL AND CRY
I dont have neither a lover nor ex whom I miss. But, it applies to my family, i lost a sister, separated by choice not death.
And it hurts so much. Couldnt cry or have a proper grief until I heard the song. The last verse, hurts the most.
Thanks Laufey for always representing some parts of my life when words are hard to say or define. ❤❤❤
