Skinny Love - Most Beautiful Song Ever?
Birdy's version of Skinny Love takes my breath away everytime i hear it! <3
What other songs do people feel this way about, and does anyone agree/disagree with me? |

Great song. The original is great but imo Birdy takes it to another level. Just my personal opinion. She did the same to A Team imo. A magical voice (and great pianist)

Never heard the original version I don't think anyway. |

This song makes me really emotional, I can't help but cry every time I hear it. So beautiful

i love the original too, but it's something about her voice. And i don't know why, but listening to the whole song and hearing the chair or something click gives me chills - i really don't know why.

I love this song. Birdy's version has a kind of rawness to it that draws you in.

My wife can't listen to Birdy's version without bursting into tears now. Reason being she's a massive Vampire Diaries fan and IIRC the song was played at a funeral of one of the main characters? By the way, this girl is brilliant live. Singing Skinny Love on Jo Whiley's Radio 2 Show (song starts at 02.58)

This was mine and a friend's cover of 'Skinny Love' I'm playing the piano.. It was our first video so it's a little more rusty than the others but we hope it sounds as nice <3 |

http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/artists/1...5-3e9460739546 ![]() After my mum and I heard the song on 'Dancing On Ice', I asked her how old she thought Birdy was and she guessed that she was in her 20s. She was really surprised when I told her that she'll only be 16 this year.

The original is much better. Birdy's version lacks the passion and pain which is the crux of the song so it kind of misses the point. For this reason it's hard to rate Birdy's version very highly if you heard the original first.

The original is better but I like Birdy's cover too. She has a nice voice and her version is more accessible/commercial. Beautiful song either way though.

I prefer her cover of People Help the People.
Bon Iver's version of Skinny Love is better. It works better with an acoustic arrangement rather than the piano. |

I know it's all about opinions but it's the piano that sets apart Birdy's covers of both A Team and Skinny Love imo and gives them more emotion, in conjunction with her vocals. The piano is a much more emotive instrument to my ears.
