[glentendo24]

@BeeDelirious The things youtube transcribes is ridiculous xD

[safiyaholaide96]

omfg i came across you agesssss ago, so happy i just did again!!

[jamesjjjonerjones]

u need another EP on itunes!!!!!!!!

[ibescansa]

Even if it reminds me of Arctic Monkeys it is still one of the best originals i've ever heard on youtube.

[andrandomstuff]

@ibescansa Which song does it remind you of?

[ibescansa]

@andrandomstuff it's not one song (i've heard all again) but they both "speak" quite faster than the music they're playing sometimes. Arctic monkeys' songs are slower so i couldnt give you a song that matched completely this description.

Appart from all i'm spanish so i cannot hear really well in english anyway...

[andrandomstuff]

@ibescansa Hahaha oh ok, I was just curious because I'm an Arctic Monkeys fan :)

[yasamiiine]

your lyric writing is amazing. wow :)

[711frets]

Orla, dear. You are an amazing guitar player, singer and song writer :)

[andrandomstuff]

All of your lyrics are just so fucking amazing. They are just amazing, as well as your voice, your guitar playing, and well... everything about you really.

[Ciano90]

[JarvisandJellies]

You are simply amazing!

[CrazyDavy420]

[LauraTeeOx]

[izzyabc100]

[SexDrugsPistol69]

[1inchfemur]

[flourescence22]

[theegopunk]

Extremely Impressed



[Mamatalalax3]

I started my homework at 12, and its 3:30am and I still haven't finished. What was I doing this whole time? Watching your videos.

[SarahSaySomething09]

I've decided I could like any song in the world if you sang it. That's a tall order chica.

[BJMCM11]

[LittleK101]

[4lulumusic]

@TolkienNut16  sooooooooooooooooo true jajjaja

[CentreDivide]

...Handlebars: I used to love cycling until I scratched my neighbours car with my handlebar of my bike. The bill was astronomical. Definitely made a difference.I like your music it is exciting and exhilarating and i think that is why you stand out.

[PangeaSpreads]

I should be at work but I decided I'll do a rare sicky, ahhhh sweet dishonest feet up n YouTube, Ebay and FastPassTv :) Lifes good

[PangeaSpreads]

This song is WAY better than the other one I just listened to, love this style of song, especially when driving along the coast o a day trip or fishing along the Burren, upbeat and invigorating, what was that crazy moment at the end about lol? 3:28

[TheEmmaBrannen]

You're so enthusiastic :D (in a good way)

[ValeVHAbbott]

You're soooo good! I can't stop watching your videos. Amazing. Love your song style, and your voice & accent just make it so much better. ALSO , you're amazing at guitar! I envy you.

[RachiiBaybee]

I'm always looking out for covers and originals on youtube, but I always end up coming back here because you're simply amazing <3 your originals always give me goosebumps no matter how many times I hear them <3 oh, and I adore you're accent :D <3

[Xiaborok]

i can`t stop listening this :)

[rdas52]

you are awesome!

[allyylerie]

say hello to my new song blasting on tumblr <3



[doddy195]

much better than what's on the radio right now! i would much rather 100% prefer to listen to this than anything else that's out right now.

[GetLoko29]

at first , i throught that it was the cover of handlebars by the flobots , i was surprised !

[daeganable]

00:14 Sex face?

[JYUkulele]

you need to make a mp3 version :O

[BuffySummersWannabe]

You have an amazing voice, and are skilled at guitar, and are good at writing songs. You are over all AWESOME!

[deaftone311]

wee buns!

[TheresaM89]

Aww, you got your braces off. I was excited when I got mine off, although I kind of miss them some times. Beautiful smile, and beautiful voice. =]

[RachaelKennedyMusic]

LOVE the musical breakdown after the chorus. those chords are epic.

[kf4ypd]

You gave us lyrics, any chance of chords so I can rock this on my uke for the local coffee shop crowd to prepare them for your tour of North America?

[adamcallis4]

Excellent! A pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[TheConvectuoso]

The lyrics of this song are just...wow.

[SimplyCecileP]

good job!!!

[LydiaR96]

This is so great. words cannot explain.

[deerhunterp]

Love this song... is it about you?

[MiseBrady]

Fab tracks Orla! Well done! (just a teeny bit jealous I can't play guitar - if I send you my lyrics maybe you'll throw down a chord or 2 some time! :)

Keep on writing - these are the best of times!

Mise

[miahnmaisy]

You are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

[jaguar123987x]

you're sweet, love your covers and orig. songs, keep making them

[Mausi15hsm]

thats a very very good song :)



[pidjam]

I may be much older than your average fan (60+ yo) but wanted you to know that your writing and performances appeal to a wide range of listeners.

[gmsuarez93]

Not only you are getting prettier every time I see new videos of you singing, but also you are becoming a terrific musician. The song "Handlebars" just blew my brains out. (I would ask you to marry me but first I need to do a cover of this song in order to impress you a little, am I right? haha).

My ears beg me to give them more and more of your songs.

Gaston, your loyal fan from Argentina.

[mahaliafox]

You're one of those annoyingly awesome singer songwriter guitarists...your songs are amazing and you connect so well...so well that it's like i know you - bit creepy but yeah.

[garrettlarue12]

The emotion you show when you sing is just amazing!

[xxRETRYxx]

Holy god, this is beautiful! love it! keep it up! :)

[HeavyInTheSky]

WHY ARE IRISH PEOPLE SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME AT GUITAR!!??

[latkins93]

I just got a guitar and hoping to learn to play like you! You're an inspiration here in the States! Thank you!

[xoxobabe333xo]

the lyrics are aamazing and your voice is beautiful :D

[sgtkiko]

good job, its catchy

[Circusvoid]

Your songs are amazing.

Greetings from America~

[Lauraatje01]

You're pretty awesome!

[CassieSmyth]

This may be my favourite song,

[amberdallas1000]

i wants to meet you!!! lol but i live a bazillion miles away~!

[AwwCrapThatKid]

I love how you look at away from the camera, and that coupled with your facial expressions really sells the emotion you are portraying with the song. The deliverance of the emotion in your songs are why you are an absolutely amazing artist.

[GJordanG]

so much love for this girl right here. ive never wanted to see someone live so badly. except mumford and sons.

[hra31897]

actually amazing. <3

[lilypad797]

Omfg. This is amazing the lyrics about the bridge was beautiful. Like I should get a tatto of tht. Lol.

Kisses from america

[rjp331]

I did a video response to this, Acoustic Original- I thought this was easy. I have never written a single song or wrote a single lyric until after I watched this video, you were the reason.

[Belletranois]

I would see you live<3 you are talented

[katieskymusic]

YOU, my dear, are a lyrical genius :) xxxxx

[kodypops24]

you are amazing im such a big fan, i was just wondering what the chords for this song was :)

[MusicHeartsME14]

You have the most awesome guitar face. :D

[IllHaveAnIrishOne]

Orla you're amazing. You're too good for Britain's Got Talent and the like. Keep doing what you do so well.

[ArabaFenic3]

BRAVA! bye from Italy

[Elizamusic2467]

Amazing! Great job!!!

[lozzXmusic]

your voice always raises my spirits. whenever im feeling down i pop on one of your songs and i feel so much better:') this song is amazing, the lyrics are perfect:) new favourite song right here. xx

[LookItsCollin]

why not audition on britains got talent? I have no doubt that you could make it through the first round. You don't have anything to lose except the money for a plane ticket

[jenrocksurworld1]

have you ever taken guitar lessons? god i love your songs so much. they're all amazing and get better and better all the time, which is not easy when one has as many videos as you do :)

[stephanieboyle1984]

Love this Orla!!! :):)

[trace2396]

<<< dances around room :)

[ThatTallDude27]

quite a good singer :) ... hot too ;D

[PennaayJ]

You are amazing!:)

[WinkGlam]

i love the way the video hasn't even loaded and i click the 'like' button because i know it will be BLOODY FANTASTIC.

[18Vixy18]

You remind me so much of Laura Marling, love your voice and lyrics =)

[alternateandy]

Well written, just splendid!

[mjmont92]

Reminds me of Frank Turner. I dig it!

[yokehuatgoh]

=D.. i adore you orla.. you make me smile every time. bottle of wonderful sunshine.

[zxxkcxxz]

What are the chords? <3

[superstriker00]

Dear. God.

[WhereIsKyleGass15]

That beautiful red hair and those eyes make me want to move to Dublin

[littlebigplanetguy]

heey there from labrador, canada you are truly amazing, ive seen talented people here but you top the chart, if you ever tour you should deffiently travel to Newfoundland and labrador

[hellomoohere]

reminds me of mumford and the sons but it'a almost like she's all of them in one

[gabrielapaolapuche]

You're freaking good, girl

[patrickforgey]

Um. This is amazing. 

[glentendo24]

Orla has 37,000+ subscribers. If Everyone of them bought her $3 CD (It's not that much people!) She would have over $110,000..... That's a lot of freaking money.... We all need to put down piracy for just ONE minute and help her achieve this. Imagine what she could this with all that money! Just put yourself in her situation. Wouldn't you want your music to bring you that much money in barely two months? I'd definately appreciated.... Itunes is just a click a way people e.e

[0Cindrum0]

LADI DADI WE LIKES TO PARTY, ahem... this makes me feel good. That is all.

[DustyWanderer]

awesome!



[yoimagoofygooberyeah]

hey orla! i'm a huge fan of yours... you're an amazing songwriter and singer.. i was wondering if you could make a playlist of all your originals pleaaasee :) it would mean a lot to me and i'm sure a lot of other fans

[ShitenShtuff]

Hey I uploaded an original song of mine to youtube can you people please check it out?

[zxxkcxxz]

1:12

Transcribe audio

"Money's even confidence in the CC"

just after I was saying how much the CC function sucks

Creepyyy

[lockedinsideurhsbox]

lol the ending

[Earlaroo]

11 people refuse to take life by the handlebars.

[Lemonadeplane]

Even though I've listened to this every day since it came out, I still get shivers listening to it. Orla, girl you got me hoooked!
