Hey all!

Hello hellooooooo. Welcome to your April demo. It’s called ‘I care too much.’ (yes, a fullstop in the title felt right. . angst.com/me! SUE ME)!  I wrote it with my wonderful housemate Hannah, who features on backing vocals at the end!

Lyrically the title pretty much says it all.. but hey, it’s a song about caring so much about someone that it becomes a little exhausting. A post dedicated to the lyrics and a little more behind them coming tomorrow :)

Really hope you like it, I’m proud of this one.. plus I ticked off another one of the song challenges - ‘write a song in 3/4’. WOOP. Check.

Enjoy.. and as always, feedback of all kinds most welcome! Love you lot.

YOURS ALWAYS

XXXXXX


(ps - this has a curse in it, verse 2! probs best not to listen around young children etc!) 

(pss - I cannot for the life of me find the artist's name for this image, just spotted it on tumblr.. it felt perfect because the image reminds me of self-love/growth.. and this song is about neglecting just that and instead spending all your energy on someone else !)

I just became a patron of yours today and, well, wow. Goodness me this hit close to home, because I used to be that person - the one needing that level of care. I honestly felt like you were singing to me from the past. I'm glad I'm not that person anymore, and I've no desire to be again either - thank you for reminding me of that, and for writing this. It's sublime, stunning, and all the other positive adjectives. LOVE xoxo

A new demo? I LOVE TODAY. I can't wait to listen to it first thing tomorrow (for now I can say I love the picture used!)

"I'm forever in a state of flux, trying not to give too many fucks" um brb tattooing this on myself right now... seriously though, completely loving the vibe of this song, it's so different than what we've heard so far, it's got almost like a blues-y thing happening, totally in love <3

Michael Klütgens

Love the new demo! It's a great tune and I like the lyrics, too :) Good work there :)

That feeling you get when goosebumps go from your shoulders and up the back of your head....

The style of your voice fits the rhythm of the guitar so well! Orla you are crazy talented and I hope one day you make enough from your passion to fly to New Zealand so I can see you play live! I relate to so much of your music, especially 'Grey' as I suffer Bipolar Disorder and I felt so understood by that song, and a lot of your music. Please never stop!! <3

Orla Gartland

Will! So sorry for the late reply. You're a legend, thank you so much for signing up, it means the world! Hope you have a sweet time here, as you'll see the other folk on here are (much like yourself) total legends. xx

Orla Gartland

Aw Alana thank you! Means the world it does. Also OMG would absolutely LOVE to come to NZ. dreamy. xx
