A diamond in the rough.

This is Birdy.
Birdy
She is 15 years old.
She's from this country:

England

And she sings like this:
Angel
She covered the song "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver and her version has become one of my favorite songs. Ever.


She also sings this song, which is almost as great. It's called "People Help The People." The music video is pretty amazing too.



I got the piano sheet music for her cover of "Skinny Love" and I love it dearly. It is so beautiful. But every time  I try to sing along, it generally ends up sounding nothing like her and a lot like this:


My vocally talented sister took pity on me and was giving me lessons on how to sing it over the break. So who knows? Maybe someday I will be able to do it justice. But for now I'll just stick to the piano. You can thank me later.
Here is one last beautiful song from the wonderful Birdy:

She's so great.

  1. I love skinny love! I've been obsessed with it for weeks now. I have the bon iver version on my ipod, but birdy does it beautifully. Also, i didn't know you could play the piano until i saw your old email address today...you should be more vocal about that.

  2. I'm obsessed with it too! It's just one of those songs that I don't get tired of. I should get the Bon Iver version on my ipod because I like that one too. Haha yea I should. But I just feel like it's not that interesting of a skill since the entire world of BYU plays piano.
