Lyrics:
I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Could I be, was I there
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe
And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll send images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on

I think Birdy has a very old soul.. something dark and beautiful about her.
I dont feel dark, i would tell she is deep.
very true....
oh yes she definitely has darkness, depth and beauty. I hope that soon she can dive the dark side more to exploit it more. the industry still wants her angeled and innocent.
I agree 💯💯
I think it's beautiful that she is who she is, if it's an old, gentle soul, even if if it appears also somewhat dark to some. I think a singer doesn't have to be like a modern, famous pop star with blond hair ect. and that's what is so special about Birdy.
Most of Birdy songs makes me cry. Especially this one. Am i the only one or ... ?
same
This is my favorite song of birdy!!!
the shame is this is not a Birdy's song.
+Milo Edge why is it a shame?
No.Your not alone.
Am i the only one who thinks she has a mystical ethereal charm sort of like a Grimm fairytale or what?
Yeah
for sure omg. i have been saying this for literal years
Ikr? I keep expecting a raven to land on her head.
no youre not
you are not the only one.....
I wish the generation I'm living in would spend more time caring about the little but beautiful things like these. The real music, it should be seen more.
I'm in love with the atmosphere this song conveys, the melancholic softness of the piano, and how the low, grayish light in the video fits perfectly. I wish I could enter that universe somehow, so I could walk slowly by myself in those deserted places and feel their peaceful charm emanating (and then probably fall asleep because this music is just so relaxing).
beautifully explained
same
I wasn't able to figure out what was so appealing about the song, and you described it perfectly thank you
ee
you spoke my mind's deepest thoughts
This makes me cry every time but its so beautiful she has the voice of an angel
"Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on?"
These lines hit me so hard.
Was in a relationship with a girl who had a history of being sexually abused.
Whenever we argued we'd make up with sex, like a natural thing. Until one day we had a huge fight and she spoke to me in tears: "Can we resolve this outside of bed this time?"
At that point of time I thought she was thinking that I was with her only for sex, so I left the apartment, feeling offended.
I didn't talk to her for 2 days to calm my emotions, and when I finally decided to I was too late. She committed suicide just 1 hour before I was trying to call her on phone.
Pride never goes well with love. If you love someone, say it before it's too late.. Sometimes 1 sentence at the right time could save lives.
Oh shit foreal 💔😢 sorry for your lost
I am a man,I am crying and i am proud of it!
I am so so so sorry for your loss :(
I hope you will find someone like her again and have a happy and safe live ahead of you
I am genuinely so sorry for your loss. My heart hurts for you. Be strong, friend. x
❤️
Altair N so sorry ♡
You can not deny this song is a hauntingly timeless classic.
Check out Don Trip- Shelter ❤
@@erickphillips8722 thanks!!! Love finding new music!!
undeniable, this song falls back in time, it just makes me nostalgic to want to hear more of this
Beautiful song always makes me think of my beautiful wife, who came in to my life at exactly the right time and saved me from myself and the self destructive path I was walking, the very 1st time I met her and she put her arms around me I knew she was the woman I was going to spend the rest of my life with, 4 years on and I love her so much, we were meant to be together, I'll never be able to repay her for what she did for me just by being herself, kind, caring and most of all she loves me for who I am..any haters who want to tell me my story is gay etc, etc don't bother yourselves writing a nasty reply I don't care I love my wife and am proud to be her husband..
wonderful story ♡
💙💙💙💙beautifu
bnbvvv
Omg, this made my day, so beautiful story.
edward harris awe
Angel voice. So soothing.
It is beautiful music
I find it amazing that she sung this at 15. She does not sound like 15 when she sings this.
Yeah, her voice doesn't match her body at all, she looks so _young_ in this video.
***** She is young in this video.
TheSharinganBeast 写輪眼獣 I know.
I can not believe this song is 9 years old, I mean... I feel like this came out 5 years ago, meeeeeeeeeeeeeenn
Ikr, still love listening to it
These types of songs might heighten my depression, but I love them. Especially this one.
Same it cracks through my mask and opens up my inner feelings, makes me wanna cry, but also makes me wanna cry happily... It's strange what a song like this can do to you!
Wow... This song actually helped me kicked depression clean away. I don't have it no more
"Shelter"
I find shelter, in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear, when I say?
I have never felt this way
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown, whenever you leave
Please teach me gently, how to breathe
And I'll cross oceans, like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said, something that was wrong
Can I make it better, with the lights turned on
Thus is wrong I found two mistakes... U forgot the last 8 ohs at the end and she didn't say the "chorus" three times at the end
+Niya Owens this**
+Niya Owens ok ok relax :P
BpsGate 23 lol ok
thank u ❤
Birdy you have truly brought an amazing gift to this world. Using your beautiful voice that can make even the coldest heart feel something. Thank you for being a voice that inspires
yess , im agree too with you :D you are right :)
Madeline Mayhem agreed
because when I heard this for the first time, I realized how amazing life can be, so I stopped being sad, well I just completely stopped being me and I discovered myself and now the only thing that you can see on my face is my lips who are smiling, and this I promise you is the best feeling in the world. So if you think that you will never make it better do not ever forget that you will always find your way. Do not care if it is going to take a month a year or more then that cause trust me ..well trust me or not you just will see!
Thank you
Jean-louis Menzago thank you !! It was much needed
Thank you)
thank you for this
Wow listening the song and reading this.. your message is powerful and i understand what do you want to do
You know, with every song I listen to from this girl, I just fall more in love. She is fast becoming my favorite singer and I don't know why I haven't really heard of her up until a few months ago. What an angelic voice...
Birdy brings light in my life. No one can do it like she does
Agreed
+NightinGale Grayson by what song? I really want to know! thanks!
Glenn Reysan Mostly all of her songs are spectacular. But my top favorites are Wings and her version of Skinny Love. Try hearing these songs and not be sucked in to her world.
Me too!!! It's like getting your souls sucked into another world that's replenishing it as well as enlightening it!!! Love her so much!
+NightinGale Grayson Honestly I've only listened to the 2 covers, this and Skinny Love, have to listen to her originals.
This came out 6 years ago and I'm still listening to it.
Catlily Holmes yeah
I listen to it all the time one of my favorite song of birdy's
Catlily Holmes ji
Music may be tied to a date but it's still timeless.
this came out 7 years ago and im still listening to irt
Thank you Beyond the Lights. You have me playing this beautiful song over and over again.
Right!

Birdy And Lana Del Rey!....can't say much,they bless me
Bongumenzi Thabani Picture they singing together!! ooohhh my gosh..

Totally agree ppl need to leave other ppl alone I mean come on People Help The People
OMG! This song wakes up strange feelings in me... This made me cry. Beautyful♥
It's beautiful with a haunting sound, I agree a bit of an old soul with much talent!
Perfect and beautiful all at the same time.
she is so beautiful and talented, her success is wonderful, shes not famous enough to get mobbed by paparazzi and stalked but she still makes money and does what she loves its so wonderful it alone makes me smile!
I watched beyond the lights and I swear I shazam all the songs in the movie and bought the album
Lanyce Rouse u know its a lot easier to type in google : soundtracks ? )))

the fact that i'm fall in love with Birdy brought me here!
Birdy, i think and feel in my heart and soul, you are special, your voice is so beautiful and when you play your piano or guitar i just love you. i know ths comment wil never reach you, but i had to say this
your comment is reaching us, her fans
@@mychannel-vn2vp and in these dark times now, you re a light and keep save, you re a beautiful person
This album is a masterpiece, she's not a producer of these lyrics but all of these covers sounds better than originals. There is a huge emotional blow on my mind after listening her music.
Sorry but Bon Iver‘s original of „Skinny Love“ is much better than her cover.
Birdy, another great Singer. Thank God we have something good to listen in these times of trash music.
Found Birdy again.what a musician. Wings was amazing..this is beautiful!.
Proper talent we don't get to here no more!
Always listen to this song when I listen to Birdy. This is my favorite of hers🤩🙌🥰💥🧡 such a beautiful voice
Birdy is just amazing ☺️
Te'jsia Williams I know. She has a beautiful voice and she is also really pretty. But I especially love this song because it is so powerful and it makes me emotional. I really want to learn how to sing this song.
her cover is really good one but the original song with the xx will always be the best
Toca a alma de qualquer ser humano essa voz! 😍🎶🍃
I just woke up and this was the first song that was in my head and I couldn’t get it out. It goes with the dream I had. Haunting, tragic, beautiful and in another world.
Such a beautiful soul to match Such a gorgeous voice
This song is absolutely perfect, every second is like being in Heaven. I really love how she sings from the deep of her heart, I feel it inside me... Love you Birdy! I'm waiting for you in Argentina.
This made me cry. It's so beautiful
Camille Schuster moi aussi
thank u Minnie❤, this song is just so beautiful
ᴡᴀɴᴅᴇʀɪɴɢ ɪɴ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀʟᴀɴᴅ Hii lmao
😊
By far the only song that instantly brings me to tears for the way it is able to describe the empty dark pit in my soul. Thanks Birdy.
I cried. and I dont usually cry like that Dx
I masturbated. and I dont usually masturbate like that Dx
+DJDanceClassic TF?! lol
+DJDanceClassic Nailed it.😂
+DJDanceClassic Damn government, thanks Obama...
lol
Cannot believe this was from 10 years ago... the nostalgia hits hard
And her baby voice...
The cinematography in this.. it's some kind of amazing! love it.
Love her look and voice. Agh this brings back memories of when I first found her rmusic
Please teach me gently how to breath.
Those words at 2 am have never felt more true.
This is one of the most saddest -feel-meaningful, songs I've ever heard.
Kelly Serna The xx always write powerful songs
Fell in love with this song the first time I hear it in the movie "beyond the spotlight"
Como pode uma música ser dotada de tamanho sentimento! ótima versão e arranjo!
I think that this is one of my favorite videos of her, how in tone she is , its pretty intense
I cannot believe how young she was interpreting this song so uniquely and beautifully
A Reflection Of Truthfulness . Beautiful Soul. Thankyou Birdy For Your Sharing Your Heart 💖 To Other's. 🔥
You can really find yourself in this song, so hauntingly beautiful~
I love this song so much, Birdy has really inspired me. All the songs she picks to cover are perfect for her, amazing singer!
I still want to drown whenever you leave.
Please teach me gently how to breath.
Wow, I feel this.
I'm finding shelter from Corona virus here😍
You and me both, while I find an outlet for my tears
Better than therapy
Same here...
lucky, I'm not I caught that shit ugh
God gave you the voice of an angel birdy and a talented gift to play and write music il be keeping tabs as you grow :-)
Vampire Diaries brought me here, the episode with Caroline and Tyler ♥♡
Loser
I would always cry to this song all the time when I first heard it. 🥺
Must have been wonderful having a concert pianist for a mother. I hears she stems from Royality.Love her voice and music.Shes very talented.
I've been looking for an angel, and I finally found it. :3
Exactly my words
She's my angel
Oh my god. This song wakes up strange feelings in me. Beautiful inspiration for writing...
Her voice is honestly so beautiful, and as she. So glad I came across her songs!
This song was played in one of my favorite movies, Beyond the Lights... I had honestly no idea who the artist was behind this beauty song.. I just fell in love with it by listening ... the melody and words are so captivating!! And now I finally discover who is behind this beautiful song🥰🥰😇😇
I am in love with this song
Those colors make me feel so infinite.
She's amazing. Why isn't she more famous?!
You are legitimately one of the most incredible and talented artists in existence.
how the fuck can someone be so perfect? she has an amazing and unique voice, she's pretty as hell and doesn't have to take her clothes off for attention. this kind of artists deserve the amount of fans, likes, awards that untalented people have. you can clearly see she feels when she sings. she deserves so much better.
"I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away.."
BEAUTIFUL!
I didn't listen to this in sooo long. How can I forget this great song.
Ohhh man... this song sends chills down my whole body. I was sitting down relaxing, studying a bit and this song just threw me off my work. Had to close my eyes and just take it all in
Wow this song brings back memories 💓
I’ve got a ton of ‘favorite songs’ but this one sits at the top of that list often.
I feel that the Angels blessed Birdy with her voice to kill all the demons and wake up the world.
To give us hidden hints in the music to stop the darkness in this fucked up world .
Has anyone noticed how a lot of birdy songs are shot in low light, like twilight or dawn, it so matches the song's aura!
5 years later and I can still sing her song! Beautiful ♡
É impressionante como você consegue sentir cada palavra,cada nota dessa canção,ela é muito talentosa
She's so naturally. I love her voice. She's as beautiful as her voice.
It's not a fairytale story what she is composing, it's the deepest side of art.
10/10
+Gabriel Jablonsky you mean 1000/10?
Allyson Ba-ay :)
+Gabriel Jablonsky 11/10
+Gabriel Jablonsky a perfect 5/7
+XxbearzHere aj You guys/girls are joking right?
There is no more then 10/10, so silly to say 1000/10 or 11/10.
This song is so enchantingly beautiful, and birdys voice is 😍
Beautiful, just simply beautiful. All around. I can’t help but shed tears listening to every one of her songs cause her voice is so incredible and goes to show how powerful words can truly be. Thank you, Birdy ❤️
Birdy is a fairy... This song is trully beautiful. Love the video too. 💖✨✨
Her music is sooo beautiful! She deserves much more recognition❤
Where has birdy been all my life? I've only discovered her recently on Pandora . She's a gem. Hauntingly beautiful and deep 😍 her voice is sooo lovely ✨️🌹💓💛 touches my ❤️ and tears always come when I hear this song 🎵 and Words As Weapons.
All the songs on this soundtrack are so underrated. They should have been way bigger than they were.
This music means a lot for me. Birdy needs more recognition.
OMG. Hace 10 años , que bonita canción tengo semanas apenas escuchandola y es bellísima
I cried to this song while looking at my hamster, knowing he won't be with me one day. 😿😭 1/10/2016 ♥️
+Nekaybaw Freeman I cried to this song while looking at a hog dog, knowing it will be in my stomach soon - gone for eternity . like if you cri errytimc :(. 14/02/16 (you know - how you're meant to write the date).
its october already??
+sibbysabs ... You know what they say..Fucking retards do everything half ass backwards anyway and that's why they write their dates backwards. It's self explanatory!
+Kimberly Lyons Backwards Amer date is because of the same reason we drink coffee, drive on the right, and have zero foreign policy. It's teen-leaving-home syndrome, the desire to do the opposite of the team you're breaking away from, because the human brain needs more reason than dumbass humans can make up.
Same but I was looking at my dogs :(
this is SUCH a beautiful cover, her voice with the piano is like auditory silk
Never been at someone's complete mercy like this and felt so cared about
I love her version of this song better. I think she adds a little more feeling to it.
O
2:31 Look the movement of her coat. Magic!!!
It’s like angels sing with her ♥️
voice of a angle in heaven... singing out loud to her love ones! how does the mind create such amazing choice of words to write songs like this one? 100%☆💙
