Just realised the meaning of this song. WOW
 

Chandelier by Sia

Party girls don't get hurt
Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, push it down

I'm the one "for a good time call"
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink

Throw 'em back 'til I lose count

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

Sun is up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame

1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink
1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, drink

Throw 'em back 'til I lose count

I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist
Like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier

But I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life, won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light, 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight

On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Oh, I'm just holding on for tonight
On for tonight
On for tonight

http://youtu.be/2vjPBrBU-TM Watch the video. A bit weird though.

Wordsworth would be spinning in his grave! :dee

edit - Just watched the video, this weird alright.

I think this was her first big hit. Clearly a bit of a party girl

I really liked this song the first time I heard it. Then I read the lyrics and was blown away. Now, I love it! I read that she wrote it about her own issues with addiction.

I also vaguely remember reading that the dance the little girl does in the video is supposed to be symbolic of addiction, too. I'm not sure I'm getting all that, though.

Yes this song is about SIA's alcoholism a brilliant track

you might like her collabo with eminem guts over fear http://youtu.be/0AqnCSdkjQ0 or beautiful pain

Just want to clarify about the link I posted. Terrible sound quality, it was a toss up between the sound or the video.

But thats what brought her onto the airwaves in 2008, that remix of her by 'Stonebridege'.

Here's her doing the song live- http://youtu.be/Vnz4bRDr3fQ

Sia - the Girl you lost to Cocaine. Good song, good singer!

Now thats what I call music. !@!

Thanks, Stratman and Soberwolf! Really cool stuff. I may have to look into some more of her music.

There's an acoustic version of this floating around somewhere, the raw pain in her voice is unreal.

I sing that thing all the time. ALLL the time.

Found this it's somebody's description of the Chandelier video

Bustle

Love Eminem and this song! His music has always been so real and I love how he writes lyrics about his addiction and recovery.

That is an incredible song. She wrote a beautiful, heartbreaking song for The Beagle Freedom Project called "I'm in here". I love her.
