Not About Angels
Birdy Lyrics
We know full well there's just time
So is it wrong to toss this line?
If your heart was full of love
Could you give it up?
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
Don't give me up
Don't give
How unfair, it's just our love
Found something real that's out of touch
But if you'd searched the whole wide world
Would you dare to let it go?
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
Don't give me up
Don't give
Me up
'Cause what about, what about angels?
They will come, they will go, make us special
It's not, about not about angels, angels

2) A pseudonym of Xavier Duquesne (b. 1972, Paris France - aka Last.FM user 'DjBirdy'), who first got in touch with electronic music in the year 1989, during a trip to Detroit where he spent most of his time in underground clubs.
A few years later, he started working for various party organizers in Lyon and began to spin records at private rave parties. Famous French Progressive DJ Max Le Sale Gosse then decided to book him for an official party. And his career took a big step forward. His skills brought him up to play in clubs like Space and Fridge in Lyon and abroad in Spain and Lithuania, among other locations.
Recently he met with Nûgen, a talented French progressive house producer, and became part of the Nu-records label. Its on Nu Recs that Birdy released his first Dj-set album.
After settling down in Paris, he played at Folies Pigale, Vinyl, Batofar, les Bains Douches, took part in the huge Techno Parade, and currently organizes private events going towards progressive sounds, inspired by artists like Timo Maas, Francesco Farfa, Sasha, Digweed, Luke Dzierzek or Chris Lake… Together with Nûgen they performed at Morphismes’s parties « Quattrocento » which soon became the best progressive house parties in Paris.
2006 took a new turn with the birth of the Connected Parties, along with deejays Faskil, Be (KRM, Atlant rec.) and Boombatcha, Uk (Sumsonic). Already a huge success, those parties have an unmatchable family spirit.
2007 now see his first collaboration with Faskil as a remixer with the release of Guillaume Nyckees’s Elision, which remain 1st download for over a month on Resonant Vibes

I know this is late but it must be said,
if you're struggling with keeping yourself alive then read this.. :>
You are a beautiful person, you deserve a great life and have an entire future in front of you, now you're thinking "What future?" aren't you, well this one, that's happening right now. Every decision you make leads to YOUR future, not someone else's. You deserve a life, and to be happy. Look, I know I'm just a 12 year old girl, but I've dealt with this too, and I still am. I constantly have stress being put on me and I'm completely absorbed by anxiety and depression. No, it's not fake anxiety or fake depression just for attention, it's real. I don't know how people fake that stuff. But back to the point. If you want to kill yourself now, you would've done it by now, but maybe you just know that deep inside of you something is stopping you. I'm not experiencing any of these hard loses all of you guys are, but I have felt pain. And I'm very sorry for all of your loses, it's probably more painful than I could imagine. So just take some deep breathes and calm yourself down, you have a whole future waiting for you, live it.

To the boy who sits behind me in math,
Hi. It’s me. The brown haired girl who sits in front of you in math class. You may not know me but you might. You asked me for a pen one time and I gave you my favourite one, you never gave it back. I didn’t mind though because I think I’m in love with you. You are the most beautiful boy I’ve ever seen, unfortunately I’m boring looking. You’re popular and I’m not, so I know this could never work. But just know that whenever I turn around and pretend to look at that times table sheet behind you, I really just want an excuse to look at you. I know my times tables, I just like to see your face. And I know you don’t care. I know that you don’t think about me at night and you couldn’t pick my face out from a crowded room. I know you would forget the colour of my eyes of the type of shoes I wear. I know you don’t talk about me to your friends and I know chasing you only makes your ego bigger, but I can’t help it. You give me so many butterflies and to see your smile on a Monday morning? Best thing ever. So, the boy who sits behind me in math, if you see this. Hi. It’s me. I’m in love you and it would be appreciated if you loved me and gave my pen back. I loved that pen.
xx
edit;
hello everyone. it’s been a while and a lot has happened, if you come back to this comment here is your update; i did start talking to him, math boy actually became my boy best friend. one night whilst hanging out and eating taco bell in his car he told me he had feelings for me. we’ve now been dating for months now and i couldn’t be happier. ps, i let him keep the pen :)

Hello everyone who is reading this comment. For first if everything is spelled wrong im sorry. English isnt my first language.
5 years ago i was falling in love with a girl. I was young. And i found contact with her best friend (a girl). We were texting messages.
And i decided to break up with her, because she was living to far away and i didnt worked as i wanted to. I was still holding contact with her best friend her name is Luise. She got some feelings for me but she didnt tell me that one.
Our contact was going down and we were going our own way.
We didnt messaged at all like just a few texts. Both us were at relationship and seems like we will never met each other.
So i decided to text her. And i was helping her with her problems and because of that we were texting ofter and ofter. We went on some phone calls and talked about everything what happend in the last years. Ive told her that i got feelings for her. It was really hard for me and i was scared. We decided to meet each other. But she was living far away. We met at the 07.26.2019.
And on that day she kissed me and we decided to get into a relationship.
Since this day we are dating and in a few days we are in a relationship for 1 year and its the best time in my life.
I love you.
For everyone who is reading that. Never let someone put that Beautiful smile out of your face!
Keep onm with your life you will find the right Person. You are all beautiful persons. I wish you all the best and luck. Have a great day! Take care
Never give up on anything and never give up on yourself! All of you are important to the world. Much love!

My twin brther died when we were 10. I miss him every day.
My best friends live in different parts of the world to me.
No one understands me, at school, dance or anything.
I fake my happiness to cheer up others.
I can only cry at night, when i literally cry myself to sleep.
Thomas, forever in my heart. ❤💞
