Top Comments of this video!! :3
As a Jazz musician and fan for over 45 years, I'm thrilled to see artists like Laufey coming out with new material like this. It's not really "Jazz" in the purest sense (more like Mid-Century Pop), but her Jazz sensibilities, phrasings, chord progressions, and instrumentations are bringing this genre to the next generations and THAT is tremendously laudable.
I'm hoping her future works will "swing" a bit harder, tone a bit "blues-ier", and include more improvisation (either vocally or instrumentally). Although her big orchestral pieces are a joy to listen to, I'd love to hear her work more in a "pure Jazz" mode with small combos.
Keep at it Laufey, your music is a gift--to new, younger fans of Jazz, as well as to us old dogs who are always looking for new sounds...

everyone who's studying with this music:
Checklist:
• A bottle of water, at least 1liter. Your brain works better if it has enough water and drinking helps you to concentrate💧
• Your charger. You sometimes don't even notice that your device's battery is going down, so better have it plugged in all the time🔋
• Your headphones. You will be able to focus more with headphones, because it blocks background noises. Also, if it's a late night study session, you won't wake up anyone🎧
• a tea or coffee. Coffee keeps you awake, green or black tea can make you feel more awake as well.☕
• Your study/work stuff: your laptop/tablet/phone , a few pens, paper or whatever you need.⌨
•Anything else you could need, what about a heat pad, a blanket, a good lamp, your pet so you have a study buddy 🐈
Reminder: After an hour, you should stand up and walk a bit around. Better stop the music or put on different music for the break. Open your window, even if it's cold outside. Fresh air will make it better, trust me.
You could also lay your head down on your desk for ten minutes and listen to a podcast. Or, if you have to read a book, listen to the audiobook of it. You can also listen to the audiobook while doing another thing, that's even better than listening to music while reading the book. 📖
I hope y'all had a good day, if not, that's okay too. Remember to take care of yourself and try to get some sleep tonight 😴🧸
Love you Guys!!!❤❤😊😊
P.S Stay Hydrated💕💕

Lyrics:
0:00 ; Falling Behind
Moved out to a new city
June is dawning down on me
And all that I can find
A sickly romance in the air
Lovers stroll without a care in sight
Ooh, this can't be right
'Cause the sun's engaged to the sky
And my best friend's found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
Touched the ocean, fell right in
Stepped outside and burned my skin
My life won't go my way
Bossa nova in my room
Hope that I'll find someone too to love
Because
The sun's engaged to the sky
And my best friend's found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
Everybody's falling in love
Everybody's falling in love, oh
Everybody's falling in love but me
(One, two, three)
2:53 ; Like The Movies
Maybe one day I'll fall in a bookstore
Into the arms of a guy
We'll sneak into bars and gaze at the stars
Surrounded by fireflies
Oh, I'd like to sleep in till two on a Sunday
And listen to the bluebirds sigh
Get soaked in the rain and smile through the pain
Slow dance under stormy skies
Maybe I'm just old fashioned
Read too many fairytales
It's no wonder I've had no luck, no one's ever good enough
I want a love like I've seen in the movies
That's why I'll never fall in love
Oh, maybe I'm just old fashioned
Read too many fairytales
It's no wonder I've had no luck, no one's ever good enough
I want a love like I've seen in the movies
That's why I'll never fall in love
5:36 ; Valentine
I've rejected affection
For years and years
Now I have it and damn it
It's kind of weird
He tells me I'm pretty
Don't know how to respond
I tell him that he's pretty too
Can I say that? Don't have a clue
With every passing moment
I surprise myself
I'm scared of flies
I'm scared of guys
Someone please help
'Cause I think I've fallen
In love this time
I blinked and suddenly I had a valentine (be my valentine)
What if he's the last one I kiss?
What if he's the only one I'll ever miss?
Maybe I should run, I'm only twenty-one
I don't even know who I want to become
I've lost all control of my heartbeat now
Got caught in a romance with him somehow
I still feel a shock through every bone
When I hear an, "I love you"
'Cause now I've got someone to lose
The first one to ever like me back
I'm seconds away from a heart attack
How the hell did I fall in love this time?
And honestly, I can't believe I get to call you mine
I blinked and suddenly
I had a valentine
Valentine
8:28 ; Let you break my heart again
Feeling kind of sick tonight
All I've had is coffee and leftover pie
It's no wonder why
Ooh, still you take up all my mind
I don't even think that you care like I do
I should stop, heaven knows I've tried
One day, I will stop falling in love with you
Some day, someone will like me like I like you
Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friends
Then of course I'll let you break my heart again
I'm just tryna understand
What I am to you
More than songs we've exchanged
Midnight calls
Sunset views
Promise I don't mean to cry
But I get overwhelmed and confused
If only you knew
What I felt like
One day, I will stop falling in love with you
Some day, someone will like me like I like you
Until then, I'll drink my coffee, eat my pie
Pretend that we are more than friends
Then of course I'll let you break my heart again
Some day, one day
I will stop falling in love with you
Until I do
I'll be thinking of you
Let you break my heart again
12:57 ; From the start
Don't you notice how
I get quiet when there's no one else around?
Me and you and awkward silence
Don't you dare look at me that way
I don't need reminders of how you don't feel the same
Oh, the burning pain
Listening to you harp on 'bout some new soulmate
"She's so perfect, " blah, blah, blah
Oh, how I wish you'll wake up one day
Run to me, confess your love, at least just let me say
That when I talk to you oh, Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon, but don't you feel it too?
Confess I loved you from the start
What's a girl to do?
Lying on my bed, staring into the bluе
Unrequited, terrifying
Lovе is driving me a bit insane
Have to get this off my chest
I'm telling you today
That when I talk to you, oh, Cupid walks right through
And shoots an arrow through my heart
And I sound like a loon, but don't you feel it too?
Confess I loved you from the start
Confess I loved you
Just thinking of you
I know I've loved you from the start
15:46 ; Promise
I made a promise
To distance myself
Took a flight, through aurora skies
Honestly, I didn't think about
How we didn't say goodbye
Just see you very soon
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm
So I didn't call you
For sixteen long days
And I should get a cigarette
For so much restraint
No matter how long I resist temptation
I will always lose
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you
I've done the math
There's no solution
We'll never last
Why can't I let go of this?
So I broke my promise
I called you last night
I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have
If it weren't for the sight of a boy
Who looked just like you
Standing out on Melrose Avenue
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you, mmm
It hurts to be something
It's worse to be nothing with you

19:40 ; Lovesick
Floorboards creaking in my home
Deathly silence when alone
Oh, I wish that you were here right now
So, unlike me, somehow I
Fell in love in just three nights
Those November days still haunting me
When the gold rays fell on your skin
And my hair got caught in the wind
The choir sang a melancholic hymn
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
In the morning, you would be gone
I'd be mourning, tryin' to hold on to
The memory of your lips
God, I'm so lovesick
What have you done to me?
Let me in your atmosphere
Inching closer, but I fear
That I'll love so much, you'll slip away
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Getting twisted in my head
Dreams are nightmares in my bed
Since the last night that I spent with you
When the gold rays fell on your skin
And my hair got caught in the wind
The choir sang a melancholic hymn
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
In the morning, you're not in my bed
I'll just sleep until I fall dead
To the memory of your lips
God, I'm so lovesick
What have you done to me?
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
(Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
23:26 ; I Wish You Love
I wish you bluebirds in the spring
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in July a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health, and more than wealth
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So, with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So, with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cozy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love, love, love
26:01 ; fragile
Will you let me come closer to you?
I know that you're older, but what can I do?
I leave in the morning, I'll forget that I am surely falling
Grew up in a case of fragile glass
But hammer away, it's time to crash
And as it shatters let me shatter into you
The soft candle glow
The music so slow
Your skin on my skin
The room is spinning
Nerve on my bone
I'm shaking, oh no
I'm talking though I shouldn't be
I've lost all sensibility
Ooh, I've never been so fragile
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's been a year and 40 days
Since you picked me up and swept me away
I wanted to run with you into the midnight Sun, with you
Now I sit around and rust in rain
Turn into dust as I just wait
For someone to hold me like you did that night I still remember
The soft candle glow
The music so slow
Your skin on my skin
The room kept spinning
'Round, I'm alone
New town, on my own
I'm missing you I shouldn't be
I've lost all sensibility
Ooh, I've never been so fragile
30:01 ; Best Friend
It's come to my attention
That I don't show enough
Of what I think
It's only when I drink, I open up
But I promise that I love you
Even with that hairdo
I'm sorry I made fun of it
It's not your fault it looks like shit (like shit)
I have never tolerated someone for so long
I've never laughed so much
I haven't written a sad song
There's no one else I'd rather fall asleep with
And dream with
You're my best friend in the world
When we're ninety-eight and ninety-nine (ninety-nine)
Tumbling down the stairs
You'll barely catch me in time (tumbling down)
We'll argue about what to watch on TV
Finally pick a movie, then we'll fall asleep (asleep)
We'll still be a little bit strange
Some things never change
It's funny 'cause you drive me half insane
A universe without you would be thoroughly mundane
There's no one else I'd rather fall in love with
And that is my best friend in the world
You're my best friend in the world
32:46 ; Magnolia
Magnolia, she could have anyone in the world
Floats around town in a golden gown
Born in a castle on a cloud
Magnolia, prettiest girl that I know
Stars in her eyes, handpicked from the skies
Beautiful soul
How can I compete with her?
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia
Ooh
Oh
Magnolia, she can move oceans and rivers with ease
A word from her lips, her sirens kiss
Will send you straight into abyss
Magnolia, I wish she'd give her secrets away
Enchants everyone and I think it'd be fun
To be like her someday
But I cannot compete with her
Perfection is the only word
I think of when I think of Magnolia
She doesn't know that the world is turning just for her
I wish I could be Magnolia
Magnolia
35:45 ; Street By Street
This view used to bring
A smile to my face
Lately it's done nothing but
Remind me of the way
The way that you used to
Give me butterflies
Took me twenty-one days to
Walk our former paradise
Paradise
Step by step, brick by brick
I'm reclaiming what's mine
This city is way too small
To give away to just one guy
Street by street, breath by breath
From the Back Bay to the sky
I'm taking back my city
I'm Taking back my life
The cafe
Where you asked me for my name
The bookstore we spent
Five hours hiding from the rain
It's like a game of monopoly
Except I steal back all my property
And leave you on the ground
And I know that I'll see you one day on the street
With a girl on your arm but I won't let that keep me from this town
From this town, from this town, oh
Step by step, brick by brick
I'm reclaiming what's mine
This city is way too small
To give away to just one guy
Street by street, breath by breath
From the Back Bay to the sky
I'm taking back my city
I'm taking back my life
I'm taking back my city
39:30 ; Beautiful Stranger
Hmm, mmh
Beautiful stranger sitting right there
Looked up at me and my dark curly hair
Looked back for a second didn't want to be rude
I tend to fall in love on the tube
Hmm, mmh
Beautiful stranger sitting right there
Reading the newspaper, stuck to his chair
I swore that he smiled and I felt my heart drop
Heard the doors open, came to my stop
Hmm, mmh
What if I hadn't left the train at Ladbroke Grove would I know his name?
Maybe we would have exchanged a few words
A fairytale moment could have occurred
But my beautiful stranger will have to remain
A stranger until I see him again
See him again
Hmm, mmh
Beautiful stranger catching my stare
It's fate we collided right then back there
I wonder if he felt the same thing too
Innocent crush on the morning commute
Hmm, mmh
What if I would've stayed on the train?
Dared to stand up and ask for his name
Maybe we would have exchanged a few words
A fairytale moment could have occurred
But my beautiful stranger will have to remain
A stranger until I see him again
See him again
Hmm, mmh
My beautiful stranger will have to remain
A love that came and left with this train
My beautiful stranger
Have A Great Day! :)

It’s so beautiful when the some starts coming out during falling behind.
As someone who is doesn’t even know if they want a romantic relationship, in a friend group of people who want to date, Falling Behind is so incredibly relatable because regardless of how sad the circumstance really is it still seems content

Maybe one day I'll fall in a bookstore
Into the arms of a guy
We'll sneak into bars and gaze at the stars
Surrounded by fireflies
Oh, I'd like to sleep in till two on a Sunday

Get soaked in the rain and smile through the pain
Slow dance under stormy skies
Maybe I'm just old fashioned
Read too many fairytales
It's no wonder I've had no luck, no one's ever good enough
I want a love like I've seen in the movies
That's why I'll never fall in love
Oh, maybe I'm just old fashioned

It's no wonder I've had no luck, no one's ever good enough
I want a love like I've seen in the movies
That's why I'll never fall in love
