Bloodline / Difficult Things (live in Dublin)
[Part I: Bloodline]
[Intro]
Okay, here's one from the album
This is a song about my family
[Verse 1]
I think it's kinda fun to trace it
Back to where it all began
Back in Dublin, in the kitchen
Up late talking to my mam
She was standing by the oven
A strong and stoic woman
I saw her as an equal, as a friend
And I saw myself inside her, a sobering reminder
We all become our mother in the end
[Chorus]
You can leave it all behind
Skip a beat in the bloodline
And you've been hiding all your life, it's time
To skip a beat in the bloodline
Oh, in the bloodlinе
[Verse 2]
I always feel like I'm the bad guy
'Cause I'm thе one that upped and left
It kind of feels like living two lives
And always tryna catch your breath
Now I've gotta go my own way
Talk about a cliche
Remember to call home on the weekend
The radio is blaring
We turn into my parents
And it goes dark, and then it starts, then it starts again
[Chorus]
You can leave it all behind
Skip a beat in the bloodline
And you've been hiding all your life, it's time
To skip a beat in the bloodline
Oh, in the bloodline (Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh)
Oh, in the bloodline (Oooh-oooh, oooh-oooh)
[Part II: Difficult Things]
[Intro]
When I was making the album I was thinking a lot about why we are the way we are. And if we don't like who we are if we can change it. I never figured it out, but that's what this song is about
[Chorus]
I don't wanna run away
But you, you don't get me
I, I keep it all in
'Cause we never talk about difficult things
I don't wanna run away
But you, you don't get me
I, I keep it all in
'Cause we never talk about difficult things
[Outro: Orla, Audience I, Audience II, Orla and Full Audience]
Are you still with me, Dublin?
Okay, I want to try something
Test your beautiful singing voices
I'm gonna split the room in two, but you don't need to move. I see you getting ready for the wall of death. Don't worry. Each of you will have a part and I'll teach it to you and it will overlap and be beautiful. Like one big school choir
Okay, you get the high part. So get ready
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
Try that
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
Little bit louder
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
Beautiful, you keep that going
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
Oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh
We never talk about difficult things
