She could literally sing me the phone book and I'd be sitting there with a stupid grin on my face. Such an addictive vocal. Have to have my daily dose.
This is just a million times better than the original. I don't have words for this other than the fact that I really truly love Birdy her voice very very much.
***** I agree, this is the kind of comment I always posts, like the case of Anna Nicolaychk and Polina Gagarina's version of Lullaby.... the original is always original, period... but doing it in another version or in version w/c suits the singer is very very very fine... I hope you sing also Lucas, you nailed the comment.
***** Oh I totally agree. Music itself is subjective. I personally just felt this cover is better to listen to than the original. I have nothing against the original, I just don't enjoy it as much as this cover. To rephrase, I should've said, I like to listen to this cover way more than the original, I think that makes it less subjective, given it is now my personal preference.
Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well, life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well, that's fine by me So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands I hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans I wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is a prize So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost
Been trying to work out which one of Birdys covers or originals I like the best, this one must be up there with" ,Skinny Love, A Team ,Terrible Love,and her own Not About Angels,Wings and Let It All Go" ,(the latter with Rhodes). But that can change from day to day depending on the mood I'm in. While pondering my favorite I became overwhelmed with the reality of this amazing format of the computer, internet ,broadband and UA-cam .What a wonderful way of enjoying artist like Birdy and hundreds of others over and over again .With all the bad things going on in the world this must be one of the best things and its free. Lets hope it stays that way. Remember Birdy and many other artist may not have been discover if hadn't been for UA-cam. Thank-you You tube and all those who put it up there for us.
This is by far her best live performance of this song. Didn't care for the original artist's version, but Bitdy made this cut so deep its an emotional experience. The words and her vocalization of them grab my soul. I truly love this woman.
Birdy has a beautiful voice, it's amazing. He manages to make each song his own, is very good and I hope to have even more success now, he deserves it. Love Birdy
The slow down of this song makes it so much more defined. Sadly it's actually camouflaged by the electronic music collaborating with it. I love EDM, but this song truly is beautiful. Birdy brings it out.
It's useless to say that in the original song the meaning of the lyrics gets lost while her cover is focused on the lyrics and the instrumental part is only a contour so you can perfectly feel the weight of the words. Bravo!
I never expected that somebody would be able to cover this song this good. I mean, this is a totally diferent kind of song that she sings usually. I guess, she can sing anything and it'll be amazing. Very few people can do that. Also I forgot that it's been 4 years since Avicii died. RIP Avicii. Also this is an amazing cover.
Does anyone else think that Birdy is the only one able to turn the most joyful song in the world into a simple and sad melody? Do not misunderstand me. I love the way she sings, but she is made to sing those special songs that she sings and loves so much. But in my case it is extremely rare to hear her singing this song. It's like unnatural ❤❤❤
Birdy has a beautiful voice, it's amazing. He manages to make each song his own, is very good and I hope to have even more success now, he deserves it. Love Birdy :) x

:) same here everyday i need to hear her voice
Are you sure that is where the stupid grin comes from? hehehe
Same
I never knew the lyrics were this meaningful
I know. I can't stand the original artist's peppy rave version. Birdy made this one of the most beautiful songs and live performances ever.
Now the lyrics makes sense
exactly
Luana Ribeiro Check out the original version by Aloe Blacc first
Birdy is the only one who make me happy when I see her smile when I hear her voice
somos dos :D la amo!
" Life's a game meant for everyone and love is the price " never realised how powerful this sentence was. Speechless
She can turn any song into an amazing drama melody!!!
She makes me feel every WORD, every LETTER.
Holy damn that was amazing. Thank god i can live in a world where i can listen to Birdy singing.
my god, her voice makes me shiver. I understand the lyrics and I relate to them now.
Must have watched this fifty times - it still makes me cry. Such an emotional performance! An old soul in a young body.
The world is a better place and the day is a little sweeter because Birdy exists.
Reminds me of the first time I ever ate porridge. Gave me a warm sensation in my stomach and I felt ready for what ever the world had to throw at me!
I cried. This is magical!!
Who ever thought this song had so much soul and meaning..... Loved the origional but this just gives it something MORE.
oh wow. this is amazing.. her voice is incredible.
She's totally incredible
She sings like an angel....
This is just a million times better than the original. I don't have words for this other than the fact that I really truly love Birdy her voice very very much.
Shes so beautiful and her voice is heavenly.
She doesn't only make this song bearable, she makes it truly enjoyable. Great cover. Much better than the original.
yes thats right

You should listen the Aloe Blacc acoustic.
I can not describe what this song does to me, she's an Angel
Hauntingly beautiful both the music and Birdy.........what a star what a future she has in front of her. She deserves all the plaudits and more
OMG!! she's amazing
I could listen to this Birdy all day long.
El mejor cover que he esuchado
She really brings meaning to this song she is absolutely beautiful and so is her voice. An angel!
i love her voice so much
My Favorite live performance of this by her I have heard
Stunning rendition. Can't stop listening to her live acoustic sets. Between her and London Grammar I have been getting a lot of ear pleasure lately!
words can't describe the greatness of this angel
This song was played at the funeral of a friend of mine...
It never sounds the same now...
Since we were singing it with the 3 of us during class...
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well, life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well, that's fine by me
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
I hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans
I wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is a prize
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
Give em hell you beautiful old soul you , beautifully done.
Tutto ciò che tocchi, diventa oro
What an amazing composer/songwriter and vocalist! Magnificent!
I LOVE HER SO MUCH I CAN'T I MEAN EVERYTIME I HEAR THIS I'M REMINDED JUST HOW MUCH I RESPECT AND ADMIRE HER.

In My opinion is the best cover of this song ❤
Woah! What a voice. Eargasm!
I hope everyone figured out she's just using the chords and melody of Skinny Love and singing the lyrics of Wake Me Up. It's very creative...
Good ears... musician also or singer? some made bad comments on her, but I don't..
ramir miguel Ya, he was in American Idol and is a great artist.
OMG I thought I was the only one!
Yeah you're right!
after adele as 'the most' beautiful voice of the last years..delicate fragile and powerful emotive..18 years remember us
That was so beautiful. She's so beautiful. I just love her.
Birdy puts Emotion and Feelings in Music 🙄👍
Thumbs up for BIrdy! Just love her voice!!
Absolutely love this! Outstanding! ❤️
This is so amazing
I love her
Better than the original song
Her voice give me chills! This performance was so much sweeter and emotional than the original. Way better than the original!
Birdy has a beautiful voice, it's amazing. He manages to make each song his own, is very good and I hope to have even more success now, he deserves it. Love Birdy
He?
'he' ... haha
Very nice tribute
her voice is so enchanting omg
WOW!!! This is amazing !!!
While the high parts give you the wow factor, it's the quiet low parts where you can hear how melodic and beautiful her voice is.
The slow down of this song makes it so much more defined. Sadly it's actually camouflaged by the electronic music collaborating with it. I love EDM, but this song truly is beautiful. Birdy brings it out.
Well remember that this hapoens all the time with Country Music
It's useless to say that in the original song the meaning of the lyrics gets lost while her cover is focused on the lyrics and the instrumental part is only a contour so you can perfectly feel the weight of the words. Bravo!
I have so many goose bumps.. I prefer this over the original.
I never expected that somebody would be able to cover this song this good. I mean, this is a totally diferent kind of song that she sings usually. I guess, she can sing anything and it'll be amazing. Very few people can do that. Also I forgot that it's been 4 years since Avicii died. RIP Avicii. Also this is an amazing cover.
...and that familiar warm wave of emotion washes over as Birdy sings...
I LOVE ALL UR SONGS SO MUCH IVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HEARD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE LIKE UR CREATIVITY FOR THIS!!! ;-)
woooow, that was AMAZING, I love that arrangement, it definitely attracts more attention to the lyrics of the song, great job, beautiful, stunning
Send me some prayers Birdy, I really need them.
Does anyone else think that Birdy is the only one able to turn the most joyful song in the world into a simple and sad melody? Do not misunderstand me. I love the way she sings, but she is made to sing those special songs that she sings and loves so much. But in my case it is extremely rare to hear her singing this song. It's like unnatural ❤❤❤
Have found this cover beautiful for many years. Now it becomes a beautiful tribute to the life of Avicii. RIP
shivers..
Birdy has a beautiful voice, it's amazing. He manages to make each song his own, is very good and I hope to have even more success now, he deserves it. Love Birdy :) x
Still listening

I love the original, but her version is just as great! Amazing

almost every song she covers ends up being better than the original, in my opinion.
farewell and goodnight , skinny love, people help the people, comforting sounds
(for example)
If you listen to Avici you'll feel crazy and get some fun but with birdy my tears are falling down because of her Angelic voice :'(
beautifully said, so true :'/
Canta PRECIOSO, inigualable.
Ella es demasiado genial :')
