Lisa Hannigan - Little Bird (Official HD Video)

[mryantaylor]

Beautiful music, but watching her under water all that time makes me nervous (even if it is in slow motion).

[staqual]

Thank you for this beautiful song :-)

[TheNightBeforee]

Gutted for poor old Damien or what...

[AuroraNoelle]

Love!

[BillW87]

Powerful song with a beautiful video to go with it! This is what real musicians are busy doing, while the false prophets of the music industry are busy raking in the profits from the junk they're peddling as "music". Keep making real music Lisa; there are still true music fans out there who will recognize how incredible your work is!

[Kairos1955]

B&W and slowmotion give the perfect effect !! Thanks for sharing !

[JMoodles]

Until I heard this song, I didn’t even realize I love metaphors. Very powerful and creative songwriting and video!

[zipzapzibby]

Such an amazing girl and an amazing voice and what a song.......... Lisa you are clearly a step above the rest............

[anjanachname]

WOOOW! <3

[timwalkermusic]

All her videos are so awesome and quirky, simple and intriguing, love her!

[Ghettobnzie1]

She might be able to challenge David Blaine's record...but seriously, she's incredible. Love her.

[celt3004]

My favourite from passenger........so guid.....she really is sumthin very special.......

[myaliasisayarasara]

she really hold her breath for 4 minutes? really? she's awesome though..

[okee9]

@myaliasisayarasara no for 1 minute, they filmed it in her Mothers bathroom :)

[MrSoullicker]

i just want to take her home put her in my bed, and............. just listen to her talk..maybe even read to me

[imLOSTirl]

I seriously can't stop listening to this song! At least five times today and I had work in there somewhere!

[richok4]

[oilspill321]

One simple word beautiful........simply sung, but beautiful.

[luna31415]

This has to be the most beautiful music video I have ever seen

[SivorskiYt]

Amazing!



[RonoNagorski]

Thank you Lisa.

[treesaregreen32]

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this. Nothing so simple has ever been so captivating.

[montyterry]

no words

[csonkaorama]

Gyönyörű!

[gothic77ful]

Amazing beautiful !

[AddictiveSingin]

back again

[AddictiveSingin]

goodness this video is so cool!

[MrSoullicker]

sexiest person underwater i have ever seen, and sooooo very talented

[Holymakinaw]

My favourite song from her new album. Beautiful.

[tumtillio]

This was amazing at Oran Mor.

[Lostinthamusic]

I love her voice. How anyone can dislike this is beyond me.

[hpt1979]

Angel's voice

[aquadude777]

Wow Lisa! How long did you hold your breath underwater making this video?

[JacobFCO]

@aquadude777 The song was sped up a lot. Not sure how much but she was only under water for about a minute lip synching to the song and they then sped it back up and made this video. Quite awesome imo

[LiamsGirl28]

Excuse me....what kind of emotionally tone-deaf idiot would even consider hitting the DISLIKE button? Agree?

[LiamsGirl28]

What an amazingly emotional and stunning piece of music!  I am entranced.

[eottoe2001]

She reminds me a lot of Melanie Safka. She has a better voice.

[trollfiddler]

@eottoe2001 I thought exactly the same thing. I heard her on the radio this morning and thought it was Melanie Safka

[eottoe2001]

@trollfiddler Yeah, weird. She's a bit more on pitch than ol' Melanie. Boy did I have a crush on Melanie when I was a teenager.

[trollfiddler]

@eottoe2001 Lolz me too :)

[MrRobEP]

Scroll up, you're missing the video

[TwentySixCookies]

Her transition to Irish Björk is complete.

[mulwa7]

I always smile at the end of the song when she looks up.

[ilzevilks]

a bit like little mermaid

[bRYE4821]

awww man i thought for a second this was gonna be a version of little wing, i wanna hear her do that now!

[SingitagainforMe]

Lisa possesses an outrageously beautiful voice

[lombmusic07]

and a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight

[eoinue]

are they air bubbles or tiny pins droping

[janzpai99]

Her voice resemble Melanie (the singer song writer of the 70's)

[jungsbodyguard]

@janzpai99 Good spot. Hadn't noticed that before. She really does.

[ExecHunter]

I just heard LIsa Hannigan for the first time while watching the movie, Ondine. Nice movie. The song that I looked up is "Braille". I can't find it on an album.

Now, finding her here at YT, I've listened to a few more. An awesome sound. I want more.

[10Duser]

@ExecHunter Nope, not on either album, was available as a free download to those subscribed IIRC. But I can't remember where from now. Let me know if you are still trying to find it, as I'm doubtful now whether it will get included.

Awesome isn't she? :D

[caesarkreshen]

This chic man... heh. Her eyes, in this video, are so deep and vacant. Wholly impressionable. The part where her eyes are open is downright hypnotic.

[eyemagistus]

Little Bird is the most powerful music video I have ever seen. I keep finding tears streaming down this old face, not of joy or sorrow, but of the unexpected revelation of profound observations. Writing about Lisa's songs is like painting with a hammer. We hear about the importance of emotional intelligence. This is emotional genius, wizardry actually. She has bottled St. Elmo's Fire and I am drunk.

[43metalman]

I think this may well be the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

[jungsbodyguard]

What a beautiful song, video and woman.

[stphry]

Ah Lisa ... from the moment I first heard you, I knew you had a mermaid's heart ... come back to Toronto soon please.

[juliendub1]

What a wonderful voice!!!

[Makingnewnamesisdumb]

How was this done? Did she lip sync to to the song playing 10x faster and slow the video down 10x?

[JacobFCO]

@Makingnewnamesisdumb Pretty much

[swethaganeshpondy]

i was the 45th viewer i guess! when i first watched this video!

but still!

60,000 views>>not good enough!

[swethaganeshpondy]

how can this have only 60,448 views?!

this is beeeautiful!!!!! <3

[BThien100]

So beautiful!

[rodrigo31415]

That is the most beautiful application of computational fluid dynamics I ever saw. Thank you Lisa for touching my heart with your voice.

[BoojumFed]

@rodrigo31415: Computational fluid dynamics were too expensive. Thats water.

[RickeyWinsAgain]

She's amazing, huh.

[LymanTheDigger]

15 people here see things upside down.

[mushroomist]

I love lisa hannigan. :) she's a masterpiece. :)

[LymanTheDigger]

@mushroomist Yes. YES.

[Diego00190]

Alguem me responde como ela conseguiu fica sem respirar, ou qual o truque que usaram no clipe...?

[peterdoran]

Another wonderful video from Camp Hannigan! Myles O'Reilly is making some of the finest music videos out there at the moment. Keep up the creative work ~PD

[berendil]

Well, I end up waiting, I knew we were going to not disappoint with the new album .. Every song is a wonderful journey and delivers joy to the soul emotions. I'm waiting for the promotional tour in South America

[angel16037]

@berendil OMG THERE IS ONE?!!! DO YOU THINK SHE'LL COME TO PERU? OwO

[fatkat90]

Lisa Hannigain is beauty within music and artistic scenery... I listening to her music everyday... Come to Los Angeles Lisa!!!

[avisbaseball]

@Freddusya they shot her saying the words quickly while she was under water then slowed it down and synced it to the actual vocals.

[scossani]

just can`t help my self falling in love each time I see/hear Lisa.. :) hope she visits Argentina soon....

[flakeyjay]

Loving the new album, keep em coming Lisa!

[Galabriela]

Beautiful..sensual and sweet.....she is a muse singing to us from a very deep place...left me gasping for air...

[Freddusya]

Can anyone tell me how this was shot?

[boot2dakool]

brilliant, must get this album

[Jennifer9715]

nice :-)

[awhowahman]

What an interesting video. What a lovely singer. Wahoo to both of you!

[OhRyeAllah]

amazing amazing amazing. so beautiful, myles & lisa. hurray for ye!!

[MStErPeEpErS]

it depresses me that she doesn't have more views after 3 weeks. imagine a world where beautiful music mattered...

[jonesthephones]

Beautiful..... How dey do dat?

[Heinousness]

this is the closest naked ill ever see of her, and im very satisfied. love you baby

[lisasfanno1]

@Heinousness ha and she's not even naked! :D at the end of the video you can see a part of her top...sorry for spoiling it for you :D

[Heinousness]

@lisasfanno1

hey close is better than nothin!

[lisasfanno1]

@Heinousness ya, it's true you never get to see almost anything of her. and when i first saw this video i was wondering if Myles saw her naked :D and then I spotted the top and was a bit like: "oh...:(" :D but these thing are better left for imagination...it really wouldn't be natural to Lisa to show her body to the whole world :D She's perfect as she is now! ♥

[Heinousness]

@lisasfanno1

yea id be disappointed to see her naked actually... unless my dreams come true and she marries me

[valkeerie07]

This video is soooooo similar to Lisa Portelli's for the song "Dans l'air" directed by Pierre Guenoun. It was released last year.

Surely not a coincidence...

[lisasfanno1]

@valkeerie07 Ya but i like this better,,,,O'Reilly did a great job here...great camera, lighting....Also I prefer Litte Bird as a song and Hannigan is much much more beautiful. But Portellli's okay :)

[lenny23ish]

OMG!!!! So hot musically and physically!!!!! hero :P

[jose0020]

perfect :)

[sanstanko]

so so great watching a mermaid singin about a little bird

[MrAeden]

Great video and song again........

[kentperrodin]

Ethereal, wonderful; beautifully done. 

[eskimoeason]

oh,my godness,is this the ever Lisa i've met before?

now,i wnna say,hi,beauty,i'm really fascinated by your stunning beautifully songs and video.Hopefully see u :) if the schedule's settled to be in Australia

[serekes17]

What a lungs!!!

[manakamar]

@serekes17 It's slow-motion

[beyondblues]

Lisa Hannigan, Champion Breath Holder.

[AzureTenere]

I love Lisa and her videos makers...it's such CREATIVE work. Pieces of art I would say.

[Rogmesquita]

Perfect! I Love you Lisa. Kisses from Brazil!

[nprbiz]

Makes everything else sound like childs play..

[nataliebug21]

I love love love Lisa.

[Synoiz]

Bloody hell! She sounds just like Melanie Safka!! What an amazing voice! I may have to check out all her stuff now like

[jungsbodyguard]

@Synoiz You should. It's all really good.

[XxxmariacullenxxX]

'your heart sings like a kettle

and your words they boil away like steam'

best lyrics ever :)

[snboring]

Stunning. Love this song so.

[max9244]

fantastic work of art

[Pippidoolittle]

How can you be so perfect.

[TheTineke1963]

Such a beautiful song.. Thank you Lisa.

[manaeiou]

even if that's slowed down 4X she'd have been underwater for an entire minute...and timed the lip extremely accurately.

An artist who goes the extra mile to get things perfect.

[offpatsmile]

@manaeiou the lip sync isn't great and that's because of the 5x speed playback, (even though she knows the words very well, mouthing them at 5x speed is hard) but its still a great achievement - that will have required some breath training and a few takes.

[iziksquirel]

I love how Kesha gets more popularity than someone who can actually sing.

[zmboda]

beautiful

[chubbgardiner]

you just keep getting better and better and better and better, great video too.

[ohhhhhcool]

i understand that it is in slow motion... but that is still serious skills!

[CorneliusWizardhands]

I like this but I only went online to watch Dead Embryonic Cells by Sepultura

[lombmusic07]

well done lisa, your cd is at number 1.

[VamLoveAndKisses]

How the hell did she hold her breath for 4 and half minutes?!

[MylesMcKittrick]

Lisa Hannigan,

Your voice is fantastic. You have such a quality about the way in which you sing that makes every note a pleasure to hear. I write songs and I am currently looking for someone to fill the female voice. If I could find someone with the tone that you have.... I suppose that is why your voice is one in a million..

Don't ever stop singing, you have been given such a beautiful gift.

[krusader85]

Wow nice

[0PTin0]

This is special, on so many levels.

[biavat1]

Beautiful song and video !!!

[skydeb]

stunning!

[iadmike]

there's no love button....shit...

[atrainss]

Absolutely love this! Such a phenomenal singer! Hope to see much more from you

[floatinghome]

wow



[swethaganeshpondy]

one of the best musician in d world - Lisa Hannigan!

[Feargface]

Guessing the context of this song, this is one of the best videos I've ever seen.

Well done Lisa.

[max9244]

great video, well done

[lisasfanno1]

AH, Lisa! Trying to get intoxicated with all the paint, now nearly getting drowned (I could see the desperation at one point)...I'm really looking forward to video for Safe Travels (hope there'll be one!)....So Don't Die, Lisa!

[Earendil3]

now i wonder which is the color of her eyes

[marit111]

A lie burns long while the truth bites quick,

a heart is built for both it seems.

Beautiful...

[stooflish]

Lovely Lisa.... simply beautiful!

[mscomplikated]

simply beautiful!

[JEP177777]

Incredible - beautiful music and video!

[3deryk]

i cannot believe in this... every single video clip of her's is so cheap to make but so beautiful and pleasent to watch! whoever is responsable for her videos is a true genius to me! well done an keep up the good work! once again - one of the best clips i've ever seen, like all lisa's;)

[eamisagomey]

@3deryk this video is from myles o reilly,check his channel out,its amazing,he has a band too,juno falls

[shineyhotboyz]

really good lisa

[JeMasLT]

when I look at the video, I find it difficult breathing :)

[ShoulderShrugger]

beutiful music, beautiful woman, beautiful video... I really admire her...

[superknuffelig]

HOW DID SHE DO THAT ??? she cannot hold her breath for 5 mins ! ?? oO

[leigh321f]

@superknuffelig On a LiveStream Lisa did last night, she mentioned that she actually only held her breath for like a minute and a half (still impressive) and then the video was sped up. And because the song was played at 4 times the speed during recording, some of the miming is a little off.

[superknuffelig]

@leigh321f I see. Thanks

[therichards2000]

@leigh321f

now I kinda want to hear the song sped up to 4x. you know, just to hear what she was hearing, heh

[MsSongla]

did you really hold your breath for that long...??? O_O

[dellboyy]

Stunning video!



[obetmoran]

Lovely!!!!

[skyzefawlun]

Simple. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Beautifully simple.

Lisa, my love for you and your art grows by leaps and bounds every time I hear your music and feel your words. Myles, you're one of two people who have sent me a video seemingly randomly (though you included a note explaining that you had seen me comment on one of Lisa's videos) and through your lens I have experienced so many new artists I might never have found.

Thank you both, so very much for what you give us.

<3

[peeweedzor]

It seems for all the albums I really love, my favourite song from them is never chosen as a single and never gets a video. The song chosen is usually the one which makes the biggest impact the quickest. But when you listen to an album so much you wear it out, it's always the subtle, underdog, grows-on-you song that you end up loving the most.

This album has yet to be released in my country, but I've already worn out my imported CD...and this is that one song for me. So pleased it has a video.

[roryphelan]

How long was she holding her breath for in real time?

[vernstalker]

lovelayyyyy!

waiting for the making!!!!..

[ZapTheLadyBirds]

Love it! :o

Interesting way to drown someone though... O.o

[amiraljaberi]

Dear YouTube

Ban anyone who dislikes this video.

[roryphelan]

@amiraljaberi fascist!
