You made my childhood less mentally chaotic. Your music made me choose to breathe another day and treat my intrusive thoughts a second option. Right now, as I'm listening to "Comforting Sounds" and just looking back at the boy I once was - Full of tears.. An abyss of hopelessness. Thank you, Birdy. 🥰
i like both versions but this one reaches deep inside me and makes me feel like im floating through the universe and soaring by lilac stars while i shine from within
I don't feel alright In spite of these comforting sounds You make I don't feel alright Because you make promises That you break Into your house Why don't we share our solitude? Nothing is pure anymore but solitude It's hard to make sense Feels as if I'm sensing you Through a lens If someone else comes I'll just sit here listening to the drums Previously I never called it solitude And probably you know All the dirty shows I've put on Blunted and exhausted like anyone Honestly I tried to avoid it Honestly Back when we were kids We would always know when to stop And now all the good kids are Messing up Nobody has gained or Accomplished anything
She never ruin covers but neither make them "better" She just makes different "versions" of them sounding also really good. She is amazing, a truly talented artist!
I love both versions of this song, but in different ways. Birdys cover gives me an emotional feeling and it really touches my heart and reminds me of loved ones that passes away. Mews version makes me think about life and reminds me to always treasure it. I love them both so much. (And just because this version may not be as good as mews version to some of you it doesn't mean this one sucks) it's actually very beautiful
+Lynn French I heard Birdys version before Mews and I have to say firstly its a beautiful cover ( now I know that!) , but mews is much more raw and stripped back. Birdy for me is an outstanding artist, her vocal tones are outstanding, whereas Mews are just as they are meant to be too. Its a song of two choices dependent on mood , both entrance me on listen on different occasions. guess Its just two different songs - both OUTSTANDING
I agree ... This cover version also reaches into my body and touches my heart...its so beautiful. It proves that the harmonics are brilliant and that this tune wil be here for a very long time.
I was told to listen to this song by a friend the day my mom died. we were so close. I broke down in tears. this song reminds me of her and it's so emotional and close to my heart. birdy has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
Darkman im with you man - ellie wolfbauer is that really necessary... Mew is the original artist, and pretty sure birdy respects and enjoys their music enough to cover it and show her own artistic interpretation so thats not v appropriate
i Just discovered this girl and I have to say she is amazing!!! absolutely good singer! hope she could get far with her music... A very differente and exquisite sound!!!! I am her new fan from now on
Dear Birdy, you helped me finish the last part of book 2 in my tribute fantasy story, it should equal 190thousand words and was actually 120thousand thereabouts before the additions. Thank you so much. Its been in work progress since my father passed. It really showcases the last play of evil, setting the third story line of book 3. I think it sounds so cool as this song plays, a bit sad but nevermind all good romance fantasies are such things. Thank you again, Birdy, really!
if i haven't heard mew first, i would still fall in love with comforting sounds, it doesn't matter who sang it, its the song itself that spreading the vibe of comforting.
For me, I believe this to be a pretty well accomplished tribute to my favorite song of all time. While I do appreciate the velvet-like quality of her tone and the frailness and vulnerability of her deeper vibratos, I however am not being sold on the emotional triumph that so invariably characterizes Mew's own performance of this song (most likely due to some weird phrasing decisions and the obvious distinction between her voice and the rather direct string section at the first few minutes of the song; what made "Comforting Sounds" so beautiful to me was the way in which Jonas' voice seemingly blended so nearly seamlessly with the less-than crisp string section, which was aided by, besides the similarity in tone of his voice and that of the strings, the help of the distortion of the continuous guitar riff). Nevertheless, the last few minutes of the song, as performed here, (i.e. the ones that really make this song come alive), are truly beautiful and reminiscent of the grandeur that Mew personally imbued into this song.
I really like the heavy strings in her version. This has always been my favourite Mew track, and I think she did a great job covering it. I don't either is "better" than the other, but even though I still like the original better, I can really appreciate Birdy's rendition.
look... I'm a huge mew fan. she should absolutely be crediting this to the original band. mew's version is perfect start to finish. I'm impressed with her take on it, but I will slap a bitch if I ever hear them say birdy is the original singer of this
people are so annoying both versions are good get over yourselves. You should be happy that a 15 year old girl (when she recorded it) even knew the song existed. When artist cover songs they do so out of respect not to make it better. Jasmine even said she thinks her covers are nowhere as good as the originals so Mew shippers there you go. ....besides this song is more about the background music that the singing anyways IMO
Its crazy that people hate this piece of art because this version is more famous than the owner one. I mean, she doesn't have to go 'everywhere to tell 'everyone' that this is not her song right? If she never did give him a credit, mew's could charged her already. But he didn't. Why? Well, from here you can guess why, because birdy is a well known artist too. She said million of times that the album is a cover album, the whole songs except 'without a word' is covers of other artists songs, she never said that this song is hers. Like come on, don't be butthurt about it. Mew doesn't even call her out!
No me atrevía a oír esta versión de Birdy de una de las canciones mas hermosas de la historia moderna de la música por ese miedo a que la arruinarán, pero debo decir que no esta mal la versión.
What I love is that she had the musical taste to realize that this was worth covering.
+greatsea That's about it though...
+greatsea agreed ^^
jesus what an idiotic statement
You made my childhood less mentally chaotic.
Your music made me choose to breathe another day and treat my intrusive thoughts a second option.
Right now, as I'm listening to "Comforting Sounds" and just looking back at the boy I once was -
Full of tears..
An abyss of hopelessness.
Thank you, Birdy. 🥰
i like both versions but this one reaches deep inside me and makes me feel like im floating through the universe and soaring by lilac stars while i shine from within
to tackle a song like ' comforting sounds ' and to show the delicate nature of the song and the dynamics so well is commendable ,
I don't feel alright
In spite of these comforting sounds
You make
I don't feel alright
Because you make promises
That you break
Into your house
Why don't we share our solitude?
Nothing is pure anymore but solitude
It's hard to make sense
Feels as if I'm sensing you
Through a lens
If someone else comes
I'll just sit here listening to the drums
Previously I never called it solitude
And probably you know
All the dirty shows I've put on
Blunted and exhausted like anyone
Honestly I tried to avoid it
Honestly
Back when we were kids
We would always know when to stop
And now all the good kids are
Messing up
Nobody has gained or
Accomplished anything
❤️❤️
The word to describe how beautiful is hasnt been invented
She never ruin covers but neither make them "better" She just makes different "versions" of them sounding also really good. She is amazing, a truly talented artist!

this is song that will always capture a emotion. birdy's version is respectful in its execution and completely birdy at the same time.

Birdy did it very well,perfectly indeed, her cover is sublime 👌🏻👍🏻❤
Amazing song, such magnificent arrangements and her heartfelt performance, as ever, just perfect.
And the photo, such good taste, classic.
Some of the greatest and most difficult moments of my life are relived with this song! Thanks Birdy!!!
Never heard this until a friend just recommended it to me. Absolutely amazing, what a journey!
What a great cover! If most of you don't know, this song was originally done by Mew in their album "Half The World Is Watching Me". Your welcome ;).
Thank you :)
We know ;)
I don't feel alright but these comforting sounds make me a little bit better.
to each is his own. I like this version way better.
I listen to this every time when I'm sad :(
she is just awesome. i love her with all of my heart
I think both versions are amazing, congratulations for having a great band, and birdy. If they come to Mexico one day, i will be there to enjoy them.
This song fills me with an extremely welcomed sadness. It feels as though someone I loved is trying to comfort me
I agree ... This cover version also reaches into my body and touches my heart...its so beautiful. It proves that the harmonics are brilliant and that this tune wil be here for a very long time.

YES ! MEWS VERSION IS PURE SHIT I MEAN LITERALLY

Mews song is really good, but Birdy's cover reaches into my body and touches my heart...its so beautiful...
Mews cover? Excuse me! It's an original song by Mew. =) - This cover is awesome though!
Dear Birdy, you helped me finish the last part of book 2 in my tribute fantasy story, it should equal 190thousand words and was actually 120thousand thereabouts before the additions.

I love this and the original.
I love Birdy! can't wait to see her in Hollywood in June!!!
if i haven't heard mew first, i would still fall in love with comforting sounds, it doesn't matter who sang it, its the song itself that spreading the vibe of comforting.

As much as I love the original Mew track... this is incredible.
Fantastic cover.
Simplemente genial!. Esta canción trasmite tanto...

Guys, Mew loved her cover of this song. I think if they liked it, what does it matter?

Inaki Pertierra Well said my man...!! :-)
+Inaki Pertierra thank you i couldn't point it out better.. totally agree with you
I like this version, if you dont like it go away
I like the reason she covered it because this song is masterpiece till now,but no one can compare to the original one :)
Beautiful, I still love the original, but beautiful.
i love birdy! !!
I really like the heavy strings in her version. This has always been my favourite Mew track, and I think she did a great job covering it. I don't either is "better" than the other, but even though I still like the original better, I can really appreciate Birdy's rendition.
I go back here once in a while.
look... I'm a huge mew fan. she should absolutely be crediting this to the original band. mew's version is perfect start to finish. I'm impressed with her take on it, but I will slap a bitch if I ever hear them say birdy is the original singer of this
This gives me chills

Awesome cover song, absolutely love that she made it her own. Better than the original. Love this 💖
Música que me traz calma 💜

Arte puro :D
Just so that everybody is aware, this song is a remake. The song was originally done by Mew in 2003.
so what 😂😂
@@nowanyagammeddahewa6815 so now you know
@@gruma37 okay thanks ig, have a nice night 😊
It still being a perfect song.
i love her voice
Its crazy that people hate this piece of art because this version is more famous than the owner one. I mean, she doesn't have to go 'everywhere

best huhuhuh what i ve ever heard
voce straordinaria
I heard this on the 121 Regent Street video from burberry! This is quite piece of art
cover is different from imitate,. preference is personal,. people argue on stupid things,.
I really like the original version of that song, but Birdy make it way better. This girl was amazing then, and its more than amazing now!
good voice
nearly perfect.....!
C'est de toute beauté.
Dios es preciosa, es magnífica, hace mirar universos.
i LOVE it~ :)
Briliant Mew's masterpiece.
ich liebe das lied
Me encanto❤️
Its ok , but the original is an epic masterpiece.
+Darkman i agree 200%
No me atrevía a oír esta versión de Birdy de una de las canciones mas hermosas de la historia moderna de la música por ese miedo a que la arruinarán, pero debo decir que no esta mal la versión.
It's a nice cover, but I really love Mew's version, it's more violent, it touches me more.
WE ARE ALL SAD AND I LOVE ALL OF US.
amazing
