I respect Birdy so much. She's by far the most talented singer I've heard and she sings with her heart and not for fame. I love that she's always remained discreet and very humble over the years. We need more artists like her. EDIT 2023: I saw Birdy live, her voice is pure gold. Still got chills.
her voice is making goosebumps... her lyrics make one think.... Would also love to see her live.. but.. wtf.. without any retard smartfone filming morons
Her voice is so otherworldly and she wasn't even 18 years old when this video was made. How does she sound like she lived a long lifetime and she is still a teenager? I can't wait to hear how her voice evolves in the years to come when she is so amazing now!
Honestly how did this song get so much radio play? It’s so dark. Drugs use and sex work just to try to live a miserable existence isn’t the usual topic of most top40 songs...
Seriously my FAVORITE cover of this song. Her voice is so powerful and emotional. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Keep doing what you do girl!
It is rare finding someone who can truly sing one of Ed’s songs. Ed’s voice and touch are inimitable and most of the covers I hear are terrible. But Birdy... Birdy truly took it to another level. She reinterpreted the song, singing in a pure and, at the same moment, passionate way that no one but her could have afforded. I love this cover as much as the original.
It honestly seems too theatrical to me. She also keeps on repeating the same 📈📈📉📉📈📉📈📉 circle again and again, which makes it seem even more fake-dramatic. By no means do I hate this or those who listen to this ❤️ But I just find Ed's version (which btw is one of my favourite songs) to be much better personally :D
Just love the way her hair moves at 4.14 while singing "crumbling like pastry," Listening to her amazing voice while watching the notes coming out sends me crumbling like crazy. Awesome cover by Birdy at her best
This is what I love about birdy. She doesn't use auto tune and her voice sounds one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. Birdy and Ed Sheeran need to do a song together.
Birdy you are so young and so talented, your musical future is awesome, i wil mis you, my time is almost over, but at least i have known your voice and piano, i love your music.
@@markpagtama7954 i m still here listen a lot to birdy, but also to billie elish, larkin poe, london grammar etc, and also watch a lot of science docus like , the royalinstitute, the world science festival and lex fridman, brian greene and star talk neil de grasse tyson and since my operation last month i can hardly walk, it wil be better in a month orso, it takes time
I think it´s amazing how she slows down the song esp. at her young age. Just look at the run-time, way over 5 mins.....seems to me like she is an old soul just like lorde, although they are both so different in their musical style. I love the sincerity of birdy´s voice....
@@jeffrylast9 And old soul can also mean someone who more drawn to what came *just* before now I.e teens today who enjoy the 80s more than what's being done today.
Mahotsav Pradhan more specifically ‘angels’ referring to a group of homeless women in the UK, not specifically one girl Man, know what the song is really about ...
Birdy just has a voice that touches you right at your heart it seems. And somehow this touch reminds me of all beautiful things in my life even though it is a sad song she is singing.
This song reminds me of that summer when I was just starting college, I used to feel so anxious about everything and this song was more than enough to make me slow down and have a moment of peace. Her voice here is ethereal.
No, every song she touched was impeccably chosen, possibly by her, possibly someone else. You will search hard to find many artists capable of such exquisite music, writing or delivery. Both Ed and Birdy are top drawer. You can't beat a ballad in a minor key, they know that and most of us do too ;) Less is more!
Birdy is the most passionate and talented artist I know. She feels the music and affects her listeners with the powerful emotions in her beautiful, beautiful songs. I love you Birdy. Keep doing what you love!
Because Birfd is just a singer and nothing more (don't want to offend tho). Billie Elish with her musice rewpresents the entire pointo of view, is a symbol for modern teens. talks abouth their problems, their thoughts
Jesus. She is getting into it, piano and all. Keeps it all together, hands flow with it easily once she's lost in it, so great. I can tell she really enjoys music
Hi Birdy, Met you after your concert @ AB Brussels and you know. Never seen such a young talented, nice and amazing singer on earth. Your music helped me to overcome a hard period when I got lost when my both parents left me in a short time now. Thank you for the beautiful message you Always bring in your songs. People should listen to them and the world would be a better place to live in. For me your songs are on the same level as Michael Jackson who also could bring warmth to everyone's heart. See you in the future somewhere on another tour. Love, Lode ( Antwerp - Belgium ) PS: A lot of succes in al what you wil be doing in the future !
I was thinking "It would be a dream for another artist to NOT screw up someone else's song when preforming it," but obviously it's not a dream. I love this.
Im 53 years old. 15 year old Birdy gives me goose bumps and makes me tear up with the emotion of a suffering friend, her voice at the end.. damn... what talent at any age.
This reminds me of a certain Eva Cassidy singing Stings "Fields of gold" and doing it with a heavenly voice and adding a whole new dimension to it. Birdie does exactly the same here giving the song a whole new life. Eva would always make this man cry and Birdie gets me every time with this rendition. Bloody perfect, thank you Ed and Birdie for making me appreciate life more
Man, I love this version. She sounds so young but with that special quality. Now she's matured a lot but back then you can still hear that youthfullness. Somehow it makes it more special. such a voice at that age kina thing. Not to discredit her more recent work though. She's still an angel.
this song moves me every time... I heard it on repeat for years i still love it like i loved it when i first heard it. I get never tired of it. Its so full of emotions and after all this time i can definitely say that i dont know any song that means so much to me and that it really is part of my heart and heart beat. It truly is a good friend and it helped me in my sadest moments and it comforts me when i feel lonely. It makes me nostalgic and remindes me of so many things in my life. I can only say one thing- GOOD JOB Birdy you did it thousand times better then Ed Sheeren!
White lips, pale face Breathing in snowflakes Burnt lungs, sour taste Light's gone, day's end Struggling to pay rent Long nights, strange men And they say She's in the class A team Stuck in her daydream Been this way since 18 But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries And they scream The worst things in life come free to us 'Cause we're just under the upper hand And go mad for a couple of grams And she don't want to go outside tonight And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland Or sells love to another man It's too cold outside For angels to fly Angels to fly Ripped gloves, raincoat Tried to swim, stay afloat Dry house, wet clothes Loose change, bank notes Weary-eyed, dry throat Cool girl, no phone And they say She's in the class A team Stuck in her daydream Been this way since 18 But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries And they scream The worst things in life come free to us 'Cause we're just under the upper hand And go mad for a couple of grams And she don't want to go outside tonight And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland Or sells love to another man It's too cold outside For angels to fly For angels to Ooh, ooh, Ooh, ooh And they say She's in the class A team Stuck in her daydream Been this way since 18 But lately her face seems Slowly sinking, wasting Crumbling like pastries And they scream The worst things in life come free to us 'Cause we're just under the upper hand And go mad for a couple of grams But she don't want to go outside tonight And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland Or sells love to another man It's too cold outside For angels to fly For angels to fly To fly, For angels to die
Her mum is a concert pianist, her dad an author. She combines fine piano work with fine words. She Is her parents daughter. Bless her!
aw! that's awesome :-)
I agree with you, but this is an Ed Sheeran's lyrics... By the way her songs are awsome
I did not know that thanks for the info Oak
Her great uncle was the famous actor Dirk Bogarde. Talent does often seem to run in families.
Wow! I did not know that. You are right about that. Bogarde was excellent.
I respect Birdy so much. She's by far the most talented singer I've heard and she sings with her heart and not for fame. I love that she's always remained discreet and very humble over the years. We need more artists like her.

She’s discreet and low key. She remains true to herself.

She put all the emotions that this song needed...the lyrics are too heavy to have a happy melody, and Birdy got it and made it even more special.

She is amazing!
I think you should listen to birdy- not about angels, perfect song . :)
awsome

Awesome is so right!! I prefer her singing this to Ed Sheeran. It is just beautiful!

I’ve always loved her voice, every song sounds better when she sings it
Ed Sheeran Will Be So Proud Of Birdy's Cover Version Of This Song...You Should Do A Duo Together !!!
I love the way Birdy makes every good song in something even more beautiful
I’ve loved Birdy since she began singing on TH-cam. She sings with her heart and soul. It’s so raw and truly beautiful.
She is talented singer and pianist she is unique, adorable,and her song has deepy soul to delivery special message,i love her❤
you're right but this is a cover, the original version is sang by Ed Sheeran
I am officially addicted to Birdy. Young talented, naturally beautiful and inspiring in her own way. Thank you birdy.
it sounds so unique, not even like a cover, i love it (:
The amount of beauty that she produces through her vocals cords is superb. I believe angels carry her sound waves through the atmosphere.
Birdy you are so young and so talented, your musical future is awesome, i wil mis you, my time is almost over, but at least i have known your voice and piano, i love your music.

Such a powerful voice. Absolutely amazing.
I really like the 'it's too coold outside' part in her cover
Whenever I feel a little depressed, Birdy makes my depression beautiful with these songs
the way she feels the piano at the begging 😍
so beautiful :)
She was 14 then and people are crazy about Billie Eilish now
Why is Birdy so underestimated? 😭
because we are idiots :| I just found her few months ago, I don't know how could I live without her music for so long
New gen.

Absolutely beautiful this is my time listening to her but I haven't heard this song in years beautifully sad sadly beautiful
White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the class A team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim, stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Cool girl, no phone
And they say
She's in the class A team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
For angels to
Ooh, ooh,
Ooh, ooh
And they say
She's in the class A team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple of grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
For angels to fly
To fly,
For angels to die
