Bic Runga - Get Some Sleep

[fku8447]

I hear it on the work PA, and I have hunted this song down for ages!

Love it!

[sweetgapeachs]

wonderful :)

[KCHIEFTAN]

we need more musicians like Bic Runga and Brooke Fraser.

[dr0nehead]

this reminds me of better times

[taintedcherrytree13]

the sound of new zealand <3

[jtizzle1017]

Why does this song sound familiar. Was it in a movie? Sounds like the '90s.

[AidanAidanAAA]

This is probably the best song I have ever heard.

[violetgirl1996]

where did she go?

doesnt she sing anymore?

stupid ivylies nd stuff arent that famous!

where's BICCY

[KFCofPorn]

@violetgirl1996 she got hit by a car, she's dead

[violetgirl1996]

@KFCofPorn ya right!

she's not dead!

[110381len]

i look like her omg my long lost twin lol

[lemonOFdoom]

Makes me miss New Zealand T_T

[papaligr]

very nice...

[Naticulous]

awesome song

[MynameisChops]

Why this only went to #92 in Australia confuses me.

This song is one of my ultimate mood changers. Such a good vibe from it.

[Drelgaar]

Pure musical gold. Beautiful person with a beautiful voice... if only this was on the radio instead of Lady Gaga

[mewdeeone]

@Drelgaar Somebody HAD to say the name. Go ahead....say the other one. You know you want to.

[agindoof]

i remember this song from AGES ago when all the good songs where there and were not all about weird stuff.

[SebastianNoel]

Oh yessss...my favorite song :)

Greetings from Poland to all Bic Runga fans xD

[Popeyy026]

This song takes me back to when i was little and I heard it in New Zealand, it gives me goosebumps. Love it. Shame she's not really known here in Wales :/

[b1977ben]

i love her. i can't get enough of her music. she's so underrated in my region of the world.

[BlairMeekaHamish]

@b1977ben Sadly she's underrated everywhere except for maybs New Zealand :/

[mdjcsmith]

You Kiwis can keep Russell Crowe if we get to have Bic!

[smelyalata]

In the rushed and worried world of insanity her voice comes through clear and crisp and clean. A beautiful voice straight from the heart.

[JohnnyDarkoKelly]

I remember she was on an Irish television saturday morning show waaay back in 2003, and I was in the studio audience and she played a very slow acoustic version of this. It was lovely.

[dddneverlander]

Her songs always make me feel happy

[Luci57flavors]

I looooove border collies. I also like this song too.

[rcfreak35]

asian women are gorgeous!!! if I had the chance I would marry one, no doubt!!!

[mrkppwcz]

She sounds like angel. I love her voice.

[atwenty]

a cherished friend of mine sent this to me because I'm facing insomnia. this song its lyrical meaning and the video's aesthetic, is what i want the world to be ,

[elcooliomagnifico]

@atwenty so did u manage to sleep after hearing this song



[BluntAnim]

knowing that theres 9 dislikes on this song makes me feel sick.

who in there right mind would possibly downthumb this song?

[elrota]

LOL! What show was it with robots!? LOL! I'm glad you found that show you were searching for and I'm glad you liked my story :)

[lurkingbackandforth]

Love her.

[oscarward100]

being a kiwi it was quite weird to hear this song blasting in the virgin records store in Picadily circus london a few years ago

[TokStyleMa]

This song used ta play lotz

in tha Warehouse lmao

[TheRitchies222]

this video was filmed in Central Otago New Zealand in Clyde Cromwell and Cromwell Gorge. its my favourite Bic song

[KeilaLacerdaattorney]

i had fun...

[Nema30]

@KeilaLacerdaattorney , Olha voce aqui Branca. O MSN esta ligado e quem sabe nos falaremos mais tarde.

[Nema30]

@KeilaLacerdaattorney 

[JosevaNaqoucm]

gud pic..neva heard of her..but have njoyed this..thanking for the posting!

[HLAmsterdam]

One of my favorite songs ever

[AidanAidanAAA]

Sublime, stunning - music at its best! This song by Bic is an example of what music was intended to sound like and invokes the emotional responses that music was intended to invoke. A far cry from the utter filth that makes it ways in to radios here in the States. "Lady Gaga" and the like, and the record industry that shoves them down our throats take heed - THIS is music.

Go Kiwis (New Zeanders)!! = )

[monuseons]

some people like bic are just so talented

[MynameisChops]

cannot express how much I love this song. On par with Anna Coddington's 'Hold You Here' as something to remind me of NZ..missing the place...and Pak N Save haha

[SugarRuneStarNut]

my favourite song when i was 7 or 8

i just rembered it latley... i knew it was Bic Runga .. the only lyrics i rember were "second hand vest"

so happy

[llethaface1]

this is music.

[mikeromaniw]

this girl is a class act. fact!

[vampirodice]

yo tampoco puedo olvidar su voz XD es genial! ¿xq aun no me descargo su musica ? O_o si q lo haré!

[RKYferret]

Bic your so beautiful I cant find the words. I,m no stalker or what ever they are called but a middle aged man and I first heard SWAY when it came out and it rocked my world with its ability to calm and some crazy sort of silent contentment. I love you Bic.

[sables9]

nice song

[talamasca1981]

so cute!

[ingridfun]

Reminds me of Canada when I was there for 6 months. This song was my everyday song while I was stuck there. It reminded me of being home and now it's the other way around. Either way, I love this song for life.

[orbit3386]

i used to love this song

[BluntAnim]

@orbit3386

used to?

whats stopping you from loving it today?

[guccichick2]

Great song and I miss New Zealand terribly! Reminds me of the good old uni days!

[sunset4peaches]

[alittlebigadventure]

I Absolutely Love This Song

And now It Means So Much More Since I Have Been Working All Week Without Sleep, Eight Hrs Is A Lot to Bear

[asadath]

Beautiful voice!

[MegaNena2009]

Ich bin voll auf Deiner Seite. Hab' mich hier leider nur zu weit aus'm Fenster gelehnt oder bin auf 1 Millionen Fans hier gestossen. Hab' mittlerweile meine -12 und mein Kommentar ist gelöscht. Ist mir aber auch egal, ich bleib dabei: der Typ geht gar nicht, und mit singen hat das schonmal gar nichts zu tun!

[maebeach]

get some sleep, and when you get up go travelling ;that might help !

[Ewan1990]

@ ILuvBritneySpears123

Omg i know right! I didnt know it was her until i looked at her name! Never heard of her before either!

[polynesiandove]

love this song, so many childhood memories .

[blakpaj]

i ahve been looking for this for about a year - whenever it came on thehr adio I'd miss the name of the band. Finally! what an amazing song!

[BloodAppleKiss]

I live in Arkansas USA and I love this song it makes me cry everytime I hear it it brings back so many memories of when my husband was about to deploy and this was the song we listened to in the car after we got married.... I love him so much and our lil girl..

[maebeach]

this song always opens the gates , when i hear it! . bic was the favourite singer of my girlfriend . she died 2006 . but check "golden horse "maybe tomorrow" ,might cheer you up a bit .

[Ewan1990]

@ BloodAppleKiss

That's nice. The song reminds me of when the toilet seat was up and i didnt notice and i fell in.

[xxxPiratePrincessxxx]

@ Ewan1990

Actually, that was ME, and it was when YOU left the toilet seat up! xxx

[dizzin0nz]

i love you bic!!! brilliant song! she looks real pretty @3:25

[sfsf10]

I love this song!

I live in the United States, but I listen to a NZ radio station online every time I get the chance.

I heard this song so many years ago and it still brings back great memories.

The morning crew from ZM even said hi to me on the air once! I love Grant & his wife! They're awesome!

[VINNYCENT123]

when i go out of new zealand (like go to australia or samoa) i always get homesick so i play some nz songs to remind me of home and this song is on my top list

[designerkitten]

coming from a kiwi who lives in australia, i would totally have to agree with you. this tune is a classic.

[JoseEduardoNZ]

This tune brings so many good memories.How I miss my AWESOME beloved NZ. See you soon Raumati beach,Rimutaka forest park,Butterfly creek, Red rocks and my dear, dear Kiwi friends. Here and there, my first and second HOME.

[symetricall]

the sleepless nights away from my wife

[uneeinconnue]

This song is an incredible love at first sight. :) Bic Runga, come back to France please !

[jsebsteelguitar]

Wonderful and beautyful song!!!

I tried to make a modest cover of "get some sleep" on acoustic guitar.

If you have time, don't hesitate to listen to my modest tribute.

Hope you will like it!

[leonardoboy2]

I think that is probably her best track!

[noslensetax]

love this song

[EclecticStranger]

argh she played this Live on The Panel (australian show) and it's not on youtube !! most awesome version ever

[MynameisChops]

OMG! YES!!!! i play it everyday! Bought the CD. Only bad thing was the backing singers....

[riffelsriffels]

boring, the only good song by her is sway

[Internetpoliceman]

try listening to winning arrow

[AdiJones21]

the video coulda been so much more.

She gets away with with being 'interesting' because of her ethnic origin, but lets face iut, its boring.

Great song all the same - thanks for posting.

BIC: PLEASE COME UP WITH SOME VISUALS AND MUSIC THAT SHOW YOUR GREAT POTENTIAL.tis doesnt.... get a new producer, you could be so MEGGA.. But now.....ermmm....

[aussiness74]

money mate..when record companies control your money, you go with the best you are given..good point you made..just not her fault

[smith94811111]

I heard this song in a shop the other day, having no idea who sang it and I was mesmorised. Having that feeling from a song I've never heard before is insanely rare for me

[acegurrl]

I bet there are thousands of people like you and me around the world, who have heard this song in a shop and can't get it out of their heads, and just have to know who sang it. I heard this song in my local co-op and was absolutely taken by her voice and the chorus.

[MrDrewseph]

I really doubt that Bic is interested in becoming "Megga". She's said that she could always start an amazing rock band, but she's chosen not to. (True story, I saw it in an interview!) And... Missy Higgins is Australian, not exactly "ethnic", same sorta easy-listening music, and she's had more awards and nominations than I'd care to count.

[MynameisChops]

ignorant fool.

[stubee61]

great song - awesome songstress - and the friend who introduced me to this singer will understand why this title means something and makes me smile !!

[vicingover]

I can't forget her voice.

[goishimoishi16]

Very good song.

[drumliss]

What a great song. Such a soulful voice

[BLeAm]

Nice song, Bic is one of my favorite female singer.

[celery101]

I heard this song for the first time about 2am one morning and it made me cry, dunno why? The voice of an angel probably. Saw you in The Limelight Bic, gotta see you again

[erictheviking7]

This is my favorite Bic Runga song followed by "Sway" awesome artist singer keep up the good work Bic.

[moothafooka]

Man, she is just so beautiful!

[elrota]

OH...MY...GOD... I need to tell my story... I saw this video only ONCE in my life on Much More Music. I fell in love with the song but I didn't know the title or the artist except for the phrase "Get Some Sleep" and I'd Google and Youtube that once in while but I got nothing from it. I began to believe that I dreamt the video and song (I SWEAR!!!) I thought I was crazy! But today it popped into my head out of the blue and I decided to try one last time...and HERE IT IS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[LostOliven]

It's a great song indeed. I've also had the experience you had. Yeah, that is really annoying hehe.

[ronniegana2]

it happens... yeah, there's this song i still couldn't find...

[IWillNotConceide18]

LOL  that happened to me before, you're not alone XD

[31teejay]

@elrota Same thing happened to me. Heard part of Mazzy Star's Fade into You when I was 17 back in 94. I knew 2 lines from the song (sort of) and had those 2 lines stuck in my head for 10years before hearing the song in a cafe and finding out the details.

[MrDrewseph]

@elrota Great story! =) I had a similar experience with a tv show, I knew it was something to do with robots and I remembered little snippets. Then I found it by accident one day and just about died! Actually, same thing happened with a type of Cadbury chocolate. But your story is better.

[scrollandkey]

songwriting doesnt get much better than this

[musicnoid1234]

i never get tired of this song...so good...

[leonardoboy2]

Good song!!!

[ijay22]

love it

[yoyothehobo1234]

i think she is half malay, half maori, i think she is quite pretty and a very talented musician

[Sgtfletcher]

on the mark--- from the Sgt.

[xnicky77x]

She's Maori, you idiot. You know, New Zealand?

Anyway, you don't have a life, do you? I'm sorry you are so frustrated, but please don't take it out on others.

[misses0sandman]

i think you are in a way very very pathetic... *hahaha* *thumbs up man* i would like to say more about guys like you, but it would be too hard and i think youtube would kick me.. so i just say: haha

[shittipantz]

ok i would fuck you also!! haha

[misses0sandman]

oh my god.. how funny... haha i think the only ones who would fuck with you are animals... but not voluntary

[nanq89]

This is my favourite song of hers.

Kiwi is a native bird from Aotearoa New Zealand. It forages for food on the ground as it cannot fly. The name Kiwi is is also used as a nickname/slang term for anyone born in New Zealand. All New Zealanders and Australians know a kiwi is someone from NZ. Bic is a great nz singer backed up on this track by Milan Borich on drums/backing vocals (lead singer of another nz group Pluto)

[IWillNotConceide18]

yes i do believe i might be having fun.

[Kystina135]

I thought it was:
