Birdy - Skinny Love

[Jurv]

I've loved this song for a while now, she's only 15 and she has an amazing voice. I think at first I wasn't too keen on the song but it has certainly grew on me. Your thoughts?

Obv it won't have as much meaning to Bon Iver fans, but musically it sounds a lot better in this version tbh. The original has that sort of Joy Division "I'm singing in a happy voice about something sad" sound which really makes it lose a lot of the mood no matter how brilliant one might think the emotion is in the lyricism (which I do agree with as it's wonderfully written) so I can actually connect far better with this cover than with the Bon Iver track


omg why is my post showing as having written "Division" twice when on edit it doesn't come up I am being hacked irl
STOP IT
what I took out the word then put it back after the edit and it's doing it again why is this
