[@hajnalkatamas9781]

The best cover I've ever heard. But I'm not surprised.. it's Birdy :)

[@GurrGamer]

You can feel so much emotion in her voice that's what's make her voice perfect. She doesn't have a very powerful voice like Beyonce or Whitney Houston but she's totally unique and she can touch anyones heart just the way her voice is. She's gorgeous.

[@asoaso8673]

👍🙈

[@Iluvryanbeattyforeva]

I think some voices are powerful in different ways, I feel like her voice is powerful in a way that it touches you when you listen to it.

[@GurrGamer]

+Iluvryanbeattyforeva by powerful I meant the range and the power of her voice. More likely the technical bit. She does give people chills with the power of the emotion she has in her voice :)

[@giasamuel7822]

[@haleighwhite7295]

Her voice is perfect for this song.

[@291sexymomma]

Just because she's 16 doesn't mean she hasn't dealt with having to let go of someone she deeply cared about. Age doesn't define the amount of love you feel for someone. We all have hearts that pump blood- no matter how old you are, you can love.

[@ndombologique]

She sounds like an angel. I've never met one...but I'm taking an educated guess here.

[@gabbytaruc7441]

God, can people stop bitching on how she changed the pronouns? Sam Smith changed his on his cover of When I Was Your Man, and I don't see anyone complaining. She's straight, and she should sing the song in the way she's comfortable with. Also, another amazing song by Birdy. Cheers

[@adarshroy9655]

No ones bitching bout it :)

[@charitymaeleon2700]

No one is bitching so much as stating a preference, and no one is saying she shouldn't be comfortable. They prefer the original but no one has slammed her for changing anything 🙃 they still appreciate the music.

Finally! A version with "let him go." I love it!

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

+Ellie C ikr, this song always seemed more a female singing about a ma, women love people deeper, they know love much more because they have something grow in them, imo.

[@CallumGilbeyIsTheBanterKing]

+dannyboy19811 casual sexism in 2016 smh

[@vidiveniviciDCLXVI]

Sexism? It sexist to think because a women has something grow in them, they feel connection to other life more? I am a man and I feel this way, how the fuck can it be sexist to think nice things of the other sex.

[@CallumGilbeyIsTheBanterKing]

You're so oppressive with your other opinions.

[@AshAlmond1]

Great rendition sweetheart. I could feel your heart is bleeding. What a very heartfelt cover and awesome live performance!

[@Raven-ll6zw]

I love how people are complaining that she changed the pronouns but if she hadn't you'd all be complaining and saying that she's gay

[@dahliademar]

you understand humanity so well

[@BDLSpecial]

Truth

[@Raven-ll6zw]

which would be totally fine by the way, but most people would complain about it, which is a problem, but it would happen.

[@xquavius]

People seem to never be pleased nowadays.

[@heaventje]

I'm lesbian and I would not think that. It would be the proper way to cover the song. But for every artist its different, what their most comfortable with. It would be different if she changed a lot of other words aswell.

[@josepico95]

This cover is softer and cleanest cover I ever heard. I come back, maybe 6-7 years, after I had discovered it. @birdy

[@allentastic]

The re-composition of this is absolutely stunning. Definitely elevates the story, structure, and mood.

[@alemontes2002]

She is a beautiful singer

[@jenniferlouissaint]

She made me cry, that is the power of her voice. That is the power of music. She doesn't need her age to defy her voice, its as if she spoke to me soul and just let me cry out....

Her voice is like loving a monday morning, it happens very often and its rare. Her voice is so pure, rare and beautiful.. Not everyone has a voice like this. I mean like i fucking hate monday mornings and 1% from the people in this world likes a monday morning. Wreird comparision but it seems logic to me.

She wears what she wants, sings what she wants and is who she is. Never stop singing Birdy......keep "flying" high.

[@callifornia101]

Birdy+Let Her (HIM IN THIS VERSION. DON'T KNOW WHY) Go= Something really special. One of my favourite songs, by one of my favourite artists. Lovely.

[@cronuksjayce3278]

HIM cuz maybe it's a woman singing about a man?

[@sarahvorsheck]

Smets Tim I think she was just saying she didn't feel it was necessary to change the lyrics

[@rachelrobertdavies5269]

Smets Tim The song isn't written in the first person. It's written in the third person. He isn't singing about 'I let her go'. I just don't think the lyrics needed changing. But, it's only semantics. The cover is still great.

[@dustonly1986]

birdy s vocal is the last one in this century that can really touch your heart

[@JhanghirK]

This made my soul hurt, my heart bled to her voice. Years have past since I last eyes watered but I wept in tune to her angelic voice and felt a pain buried long ago. Thank you. The pain let's me know it was all real once.
