I absolutely love how she kept the video so simple. No fancy dancers, no fancy hair, no props. Just her, looking like an everyday person, singing her beautiful song. Makes it so real. Well done.
I cant express my love for birdy. She invokes such a strong sense of emotion through her piano and vocals.. She has an amazing interpetatoin of every cover shes sings. I myself am a singer/songwriter, and I could only wish to be able to transform the songs she covers like she does.
About what? "would" and "why"? lol I misspelled them in my second comment."Then we are of like minds :) just wanted to be sure, you just mentioned her covers. And as far as that wish of yours I wound say it has every chance of coming true. I've heard you sing, your fantastic. Beautiful voice, face, and spirit, just like Birdy. I see way you like her so much. Birds of a feather lol." Wrote "wound" instead of "would" and "way" instead of "why". Again sorry for the confusion :(.
10 years ago, and this song is still beautiful. Birdy is such a good singer, haven't heard this song in more than 7 years. This was my favourite song back in 2012.
I watched this years ago and was amazed then. Randomly I was thinking about this young girl singing with the amazing voice. 5 hours of searching I'm glad I found it again. Amazing!
@@Tina.Di.Napoli Der Song wurde von Justin Vernon geschrieben. Er ist Mitglied der Band BON IVER. Das Original erschien 2007. Birdy"s Cover stammt von 2011.
I just looked up her age, and Birdy was born in 1996. She was 15 when this video was posted. Fuuuuuuck she's talented. The braces also make more sense.
+Rosario Tapia I briefly saw her in the cafeteria at Brock College, she kept to herself as far as I know but seemed quite a cool kid. I never spoke to her. She was beautiful then and that was after this was made.
Birdy, I'm just an old man fighting cancer, with a love story and a history to rival any epic novel.. art is pointless and yet the best mankind has to offer. Thank you, and don't ever stop.
Come on skinny love just last the year Pour a little salt we were never here My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer I tell my love to wreck it all Cut out all the ropes and let me fall My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Right in the moment this order's tall I told you to be patient I told you to be fine I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind In the morning I'll be with you But it will be a different "kind" I'll be holding all the tickets And you'll be owning all the fines Come on skinny love what happened here Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Sullen load is full; so slow on the split I told you to be patient…
I was in an emotionally abusive relationship. It was also my first, and she never made it clear where I stood with her. She would push me away, then pull me back. I was gaslighted, insulted, controlled, and changed. I find a lot of the lyrics was stuff that I either asked, or said throughout and after the relationship. “Please be patient and please be kind” “Just at least last the year” “Who the hell was I to you” “who will love you? Who will always follow you, and be there for you?” Plus the winter background of the video just reminds me of New Hope Town; our favorite place to go. She had skinny love for me, and I had real feelings. I hope this song speaks to others the same way it speaks to me
one of the only covers of a really really good song that I can actually tolerate. She completely transforms this song and adds to its ethereal quality.
Mario Olvera Molinar oh sweetie, you are in for a really amazing experience getting to listen to Bon Iver for the first time... Brace yourself. Justin Vernon's voice is angelic. Jackk Jarvis
I heard this song so many times and so many versions , and have always thought it is a great song. I have never thought to look up her actually singing it. OMG She is like an Angel with a voice from the heavens.
I'm 45 and feel old as hell but the same 15 year old part of my brain that loved Tori Amos, absolutely loves this girl. Thank you for carrying the flame.
to the beautiful musician Birdy. Your voice is a true masterpiece and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Your music is so unique and has an enchanting essence to it. A desire for more. You are beautiful and everything you create is beautiful. Thank you for your mesmerizing soul, it's stunning!!!
Oof. Started sobbing in my bathroom. You know, this is the first time I've ever seen myself cry. Watched myself cry in the mirror. Gave myself a hug. Told myself that I'm proud of what I've endured. Said, "I love you, man."
This reminds me of my beautiful daughter. I was black listed from my entire family, because I'm major Bi Polar. She is the only one that stood by my side, and still does to this day. I love her more than anything in this world. It's her bday today, so was looking for this song for her. We both agree.....it's awesome.
I have Bi polar as well . Number 2 . Forget the haters. Honestly I've cut out 100s of people in my life I don't need trash Anyone that judges us can go fuck themselves My last work place found out I resigned GOD is watching 1 word KARMER. Depression is RIFE globally can strike the toughest of people When it happens to them you will have the last laugh
SHE GOES BY THE NAME "BIRDY" AND IS ALSO PLAYING THE PIANO ON THIS TRACK, THIS IS 5 YEARS AGO WHEN SHE WAS ABOUT 14, AND IF I DID THE MATH RIGHT THAT WOULD PUT HER AT 19 OR 20 IN 2016, AND SHE CERTAINLY IS.......AN ANGEL, LIKE YOU SAID !!!
This is Birdy, the sum of all that is good and pure in the world. Now to show your worthy go to amazon uk and buy all three of her cd's then prepare yourself for a beauty overdose.
I first listened to this song 4 years from now. And that night, I cried as I was texting my then girlfriend, because she made me unhappy and I knew my love for her wouldn't be enough to fix everything that was wrong. I eventually stayed 2 more years with her, before breaking up in disastrous conditions. It's been 2 years now, almost day for day, and there's this girl. She's made of outer space, and she somehow manages to make the best of my deepest fears. Today I listened to this song for the first time again, and I smiled.
I really respect the fact that all the songs she covers are clearly highlighted in the description box. A lot of artists just ignore who they’re covering.
Skinny love: Is such a wonderful song..more or less, i feel that this song has many angles on it..theres a part links to an argument, then just break-up..and then shows the last efforts to get it right..but theres a line links.." staring at the sinks of blood and crushed veneer".. I think refering to each other that their relationship isn't bad as they know it to be..so sentimental yet emotional song..struggling the thin skinny love that he just want it to last for the rest of the year..even though he knows it is thin and dying skinny love...♥♥♥ thanks Quertani Ahmed for sharing the song!!!!...
I missed this :((( listened to this endlessly when i was on my first yr in college. Im on my fifth yr now :(((( makes me remember the times i knew nothing and was just living life.
One of the rare cases where I have such a clear preference for her version over the (already good) original. Also, I've been listening to her version for more years than I can remember. So glad it's still on YT.
Birdy é sensacional. Beautiful voice. Ela tem uma calma para cantar, o modo como ela olha e a essência que ela transmite é surpreendente. Love you Birdy.
9 years ago, she covered this song. I still remember listening to it few years after its release. Now it’s 2021, a new year with a new beginning. You might love someone even though they have skinny love. You might ask yourself who you are? Why do you deserve this? Not everyone is deserving of your love. May you find the right person for you.
Hey, just curious, do you understand the lyrics of this song, outside the fairly simple chorus? The verses are very obscure, which I love, but I just wonder what other people hear and make of them.
well… I kind of do. I wrote this song 2yrs ago. I thought of it as if “skinny love” is kind of lacking in love and therefore “skinny” the person wasn’t the right fit for you. Trying their best to tell you what you lack and then helping each other in the relationship situation. But in the end having skinny love can have a tendency to become a fuller kind of love. Really don’t know the true meaning of this song but it surely sticks with me for a long time.
Come on, skinny love, just last the year Pour a little salt, we were never here My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer Tell my love to wreck it all Cut out all the ropes and let me fall My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Right at the moment, this order's tall And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And in the morning, I'll be with you But it will be a different kind 'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets And you'll be owning all the fines Come on skinny love, what happened here? Suckle on the hope in light brassiere My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Sullen load is full, so slow on the split And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And now, all your love is wasted Then who the hell was I? 'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges And at the end of all your lies Who will love you? Who will fight? And who will fall far behind? Come on skinny love My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
It hurts to hear and see such beauty simultaneously. I can feel my eyes losing focus, and a pain between my heart and stomach, where if the soul existed it would surely be.
If? Didn't you just feel it? Some people sing with a voice you can hear with your ears. But a few sing with a voice you can hear with your soul. Count Birdy in the latter group.
I believe songs like this allow us to sort through all the non-essential things in life and allows us to focus on what's important, Our hearts. That's why it's sad in a happy kind of way, At least that's my 2 cents.
+Nicky Oberdick An amazing counter-argument. But I have to say I like this version better by a nano-meter. I say just listen to them both rather frequently, no wrong answer there.
To this day her first album remains a firm favourite of mine. I don't think she's made much of her career lately, but these teen years were fabulous for her.
+أحمد الشمري It's because she's not acting like a sex symbol in any of her videos, you got to be one if you want to be a succesful popstar nowadays.
+أحمد الشمري You realize she's a pop star? Also this even isn't her song, and has about 5 times more views than the real song, which is about 10 times better than this boring popish version.
if you actually care and read all of this, thank you. Ive got nothing to lose…other than a few moments of your time. I put up mostly classic covers. I'm not all that into the mainstream music. I don’t know if my voice is any good, my genre is emotional, blues, soul i believe suffering makes a person more humane and there is no better outlet for pain other than music.
Wow!!!!!!. your voice is os nic i like your song a lot ....can u sing my song ,i m writer?????? :( plzzz add me on whats app ,my whats app no is :9653453013
I absolutely love how she kept the video so simple. No fancy dancers, no fancy hair, no props. Just her, looking like an everyday person, singing her beautiful song. Makes it so real. Well done.
I agree it's simply beautiful.. But it's not her song please remember that!
+Sarah Clifford It's not her song. Do some research and you'll find the original and in my opinion, the better version.
In all honesty I don't care who's song it is I just think its beautiful how she sounds and the way she does it.
Well you do care, because it wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Bon Iver you idiot.
Oh knock it off and stop looking for a fight.
I cant express my love for birdy. She invokes such a strong sense of emotion through her piano and vocals.. She has an amazing interpetatoin of every cover shes sings. I myself am a singer/songwriter, and I could only wish to be able to transform the songs she covers like she does.
Have you heard "Fire Within"? 15 songs and they're ALL hers.
Wesley Horne Of course I have. im in love with all of them.
"would" & "why". Sorry I was tired lol.
Wesley Horne what do you mean?
About what? "would" and "why"? lol I misspelled them in my second comment."Then we are of like minds :) just wanted to be sure, you just mentioned her covers. And as far as that wish of yours I wound say it has every chance of coming true. I've heard you sing, your fantastic. Beautiful voice, face, and spirit, just like Birdy. I see way you like her so much. Birds of a feather lol." Wrote "wound" instead of "would" and "way" instead of "why".
Again sorry for the confusion :(.
10 years ago, and this song is still beautiful. Birdy is such a good singer, haven't heard this song in more than 7 years. This was my favourite song back in 2012.
And she released a new album this year!😃😍
Check bon iver out
Birdy is lovely
This is so ghostly & beautiful like a magical spirit from another dimension singing.
I agree very haunting!
SHE SOUNDS LIKE AN ANGEL OH MY LORD
+Alexa Payne what about angels
+Ashlin Larson what about angels? 😂
Birdy's voice is one of the most beautiful nowadays!
Almost 4 years after I'm still listening to this :)
Te veo en todos lados. Seguro son los bots e.e
same
I agree with that
Same here
***** agreee. :)
Spend as much time as it takes I will always come back here to listen to this perfection of music thank you Birdy.
I watched this years ago and was amazed then. Randomly I was thinking about this young girl singing with the amazing voice. 5 hours of searching I'm glad I found it again. Amazing!
ua-cam.com/video/npkjHgXug3w/v-deo.html
Same here. I knew who she was so I found her immediately, but I was shocked when I found out she has only 62mln views.
Sorry, but those 62 million views took me a LONG time to do...
How bout give some love to the original? Bon iver - skinny love
Why was it so hard to find her? Just curious lol
She's so perfect.
She shows so much maturity for such a young woman.
I had heard music of Birdy before this, and I thought she was a girl who was in her late twenties or early thirties.
How old is she
She's 20 now c:
+Secretly Undead what the hell. Thats weird
@James Collins that song is absolute trash
Ein Song, der für mich Musik-Geschichte hat, auch wenn es nur ein Cover von Bon Iver ist. Ein Song, den man nicht vergisst. ❤
Wurde der Song nicht von Ed Sheeran geschrieben?
@@Tina.Di.Napoli Der Song wurde von Justin Vernon geschrieben. Er ist Mitglied der Band BON IVER. Das Original erschien 2007. Birdy"s Cover stammt von 2011.
Mit diesem Song wurde Birdy zum Star. Sie war damals 15 Jahre alt. 😊
i love the emotion she put into this song it caught me the first time i heard it.
I don't understand... how can such a young talented soul make such beautiful music?
She didn't make it, bon iver did it and she covered it.
You know, she's not the original artist of this song. This is a cover.
I know, I know, I love Bon Iver's version, but she totally changed it, at the very least it wasn't a direct copy.
Hers sucks
Opinion.
Simplicity, sadness, precision of the lyrics and an exceptionnel voice. The perfect recipe.😢 I still sing it in 2023.
I just looked up her age, and Birdy was born in 1996. She was 15 when this video was posted. Fuuuuuuck she's talented. The braces also make more sense.
AND she's beautiful
Fun fact: She went to River Studios dance academy in Southampton and I knew her.
Was she cool?
+Rosario Tapia I briefly saw her in the cafeteria at Brock College, she kept to herself as far as I know but seemed quite a cool kid. I never spoke to her. She was beautiful then and that was after this was made.
I knew she looked younger but dang. fifteen 😱
Such a beautiful voice, and face.
Just now watching this in 2014! Birdy is an amazing singer :)
lol thats song is so old O.o
One Week Video ~3 years = old.
This song seems to creep into a playlist when you least expect it but need it the most.
It’s crazy that I only found this recently, to realise how old it is!! ❤️
This girl is ... so beautiful !
Birdy, I'm just an old man fighting cancer, with a love story and a history to rival any epic novel.. art is pointless and yet the best mankind has to offer. Thank you, and don't ever stop.
You got this ❤
Go 21day waterfast and after that continue 0carb and 0sugar carnivore diet couple months. You can thank me later when you are healed😊
Good luck brother ❤
Hope you’re doing okay old man with cancer.
@@christinamangold1822 Thank you, and yes, thanks to the NHS and my wonderful friends, I'm doing way better than I deserve. x
Random guy with lyrics where are you man? Your job is simple but very important. So please come over and do what you should.
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
I told you to be patient…
Sam yeaaa HERO😀
@@sumnewguy thx
the guy with the lyrics is bon iver. justin vernon. he is the guy with the lyrisc
It's not much but it's honest work

I didn't know this was a cover o.O, what's the original or who's the original?
Mario Olvera Molinar oh sweetie, you are in for a really amazing experience getting to listen to Bon Iver for the first time... Brace yourself. Justin Vernon's voice is angelic. Jackk Jarvis
you should listen to Kevin Garret cover
I heard this song so many times and so many versions , and have always thought it is a great song. I have never thought to look up her actually singing it. OMG She is like an Angel with a voice from the heavens.
Been almost 11 years since I heard this song. I still think of this version at least once a week. Thanks Birdy! 💖
This music, these lyrics, this beautiful face throughout all video... These all make it just one of the best clip I've ever seen. Just thanks...
her voice is a heart killer
True
Mind wrecker 😍
This girl went to a school near me, met her and she's such a great person!
Nicko Germanotta what? Not quite sure what you are saying but she did... I would name the school but not sure if that's a good idea online :/
really? so, tell you her , for me .
Nicko Germanotta shes got nothing to gain from saying that... just saying that Birdy is a nice person
Congratulation for you all !
dus jij bent Belgisch? Als je dit niet verstaat dan ken je haar niet.
Amazing cover from Bon Iver, I love her voice.
lol bon iver is the original, this is the cover. I think that's what you meant, but the typo confuses me
Probably the first Birdy song I heard, love it so much, this song along with many others and her voice are beautiful, love you Birdy xx Thank You
Oh my, Its been 11 years and I'm still listening to this masterpiece. I'm not the only one am i?
You are not alone brother
Doesn't get old. Great cover.
oh hello, Birdy fan
this shit resonates too deep
like you
her voice is gorgeous i could listen for hours, it’s honestly breathtaking.
This song will never get old.
I'm 45 and feel old as hell but the same 15 year old part of my brain that loved Tori Amos, absolutely loves this girl. Thank you for carrying the flame.
The voice , the face, the eyes, the scenery, the piano......it's all on an unattainable canvas where she only paints❣️
to the beautiful musician Birdy. Your voice is a true masterpiece and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Your music is so unique and has an enchanting essence to it. A desire for more. You are beautiful and everything you create is beautiful. Thank you for your mesmerizing soul, it's stunning!!!
This song was played at my brother funeral it makes me cry a river everytime i hear it.
Oof. Started sobbing in my bathroom. You know, this is the first time I've ever seen myself cry. Watched myself cry in the mirror. Gave myself a hug. Told myself that I'm proud of what I've endured. Said, "I love you, man."
🤝🤗
Goof for you sending another hugg if OK?
Lives so sad, an old man texting with his beautiful 81-year-old wife. Enjoy your youth, we certainly did.
Amazing vocals, and the fact she has braces makes it even more great :D
Damn, she's 17. Beautiful voice and personality she's beautiful.
Didn't she start at like 14 or something? Her voice was incredible in Brave.
Literally just thought the same thing lol. Just damn
27 now❤
This reminds me of my beautiful daughter. I was black listed from my entire family, because I'm major Bi Polar. She is the only one that stood by my side, and still does to this day.

So many years passed since the song came out
Still manages to give the most wholesome kind of goosebumps 😢
It'll never be old
My heart can't stop beating so quick like who is this absolute angel?

Whenever I'm sad, I need to listen to this song. Your voice helps me let out my sadness and cry. Thank you for that. 🖤
You are not alone me too I feel it
Her voice is amazing!!!

There's something very unique about this video and watching her sing this song.
stan birdy for smooth skin, her beautiful piece of music and managing to let her music stay alive for 9 years+
I found this gem 8 years after it was created. And I ❤️ it.
Was here from last 8yrs. Already 8 yrs feels fresh

U fucking donkey she didn´t create this. Give props to my mans Bon Iver.
I missed this :((( listened to this endlessly when i was on my first yr in college. Im on my fifth yr now :(((( makes me remember the times i knew nothing and was just living life.
Nothing has changed. Good luck.
You got this but remember to take care of yourself and that should be your #1 priority. 🌸
Absolutely beautiful, even after all this time it still sounds like the first time
One of the rare cases where I have such a clear preference for her version over the (already good) original.

worlds best video ever! love the way she flickers her eyes, it feel so for real
OMG! she is beautiful!, and that lovely voice 😍
I always liked this song , when they used it in vampire diaries for Jennas funeral it gave this song a whole new feeling
i am still crying so much over her death....
Her voice makes me want to cry and confess all my troubles
True
Love
It makes me wish I hadn't cried and confessed all my sins.
Still loving Bon Iver and her songs until now. More than a decade
its amazing how she can sing so beautiful even with braces
Come on, skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here

And at the end of all your lies
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Birdy may have the easiest face to look at that I've ever seen. I don't think I will ever tire of it.
This song never seem to be dull --- she wrote this when she was 17 I listen to it every night
She didn’t write this song. This is a cover. Bon Iver wrote this
lol she didn't write it. You have been sleeping every night in denial.
@@vaibhavpandey7202 sorry I thought she wrote it ---- it's ok it's only a song
It hurts to hear and see such beauty simultaneously. I can feel my eyes losing focus, and a pain between my heart and stomach, where if the soul existed it would surely be.
your words are beautiful
If? Didn't you just feel it? Some people sing with a voice you can hear with your ears. But a few sing with a voice you can hear with your soul. Count Birdy in the latter group.
I felt my endocrinol response.
Lol What ever works for you my brother. But I'm pretty sure what I feel when I listen to Birdy isn't some suprarenal gland secretions :).
Certainty and naivety are one in the same.
I believe songs like this allow us to sort through all the non-essential things in life and allows us to focus on what's important, Our hearts.
That's why it's sad in a happy kind of way, At least that's my 2 cents.
Can anything sound more lovely?
Bon Iver
Nicky Oberdick I like this version better.
+Nicky Oberdick An amazing counter-argument. But I have to say I like this version better by a nano-meter. I say just listen to them both rather frequently, no wrong answer there.
+Cillendor Edenion No.
Me farting
To this day her first album remains a firm favourite of mine. I don't think she's made much of her career lately, but these teen years were fabulous for her.
Thank you Birdy for 2016 - all the new music and incredible live performances. Happy New Year
birdy is so underrated .. she is one who should have a billion viewers not those shitty pop stars
+أحمد الشمري you have such a massive point :) but you can still get your point across without swearing :) please :)
+أحمد الشمري "those shitty pop stars" got there because of their own hard work and effort too
+أحمد الشمري It's because she's not acting like a sex symbol in any of her videos, you got to be one if you want to be a succesful popstar nowadays.
+أحمد الشمري You realize she's a pop star? Also this even isn't her song, and has about 5 times more views than the real song, which is about 10 times better than this boring popish version.
+Froxxy Laker I think Bon Iver is still more known than Birdy, calm down love.
this music is beautiful, you have and amazing gift,..... music is the best in the world........
You are totally right
Scrolling through youtube and found you...........I'm so glad I did, you're wonderful.
Incredible cover...never gets old.

Great! I will listen to it until the end of my life! 😍
Cette chanson est magnifique, je l'adore ! L'Angleterre a vraiment tous les meilleurs chanteurs !
if you actually care and read all of this, thank you.
Ive got nothing to lose…other than a few moments of your time.
I put up mostly classic covers. I'm not all that into the mainstream music.
I don’t know if my voice is any good,
my genre is emotional, blues, soul
i believe suffering makes a person more humane
and there is no better outlet for pain other than music.

Come on skinny love what happened here...? Gah this song brings back painful memories.
This is so beautiful that it brings tears to my eyes.
''And now all your love is wasted, then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I’m breaking at the bridges and at the end of all your lies.''
Well done you can copy out the lyrics
"... the britches at the end of all your lines."
It hits differently in January than it does in December
I wonder how many broken hearts had heard this song heh..One right here.
💔
I just randomly found it because it said "one take" or whatnot...
💔
Her voice is a gift to this earth. * . *
Just discovered her on Spotify and had to look her up on UA-cam. 2011??? Where was I? Beautiful voice from a beautiful woman.
Wow I haven't heard a voice like hers in decades
JASMINE LAMPORT...google BREATHE..or WHY?....or STRONG.

This may be the best transition of emotion I've ever felt.
