Lyrics:
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hard-faced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
Fiery throngs of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back, oh
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away
God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone or sinking
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh
People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

Birdy is definitely an angel. I mean like she has so much light, she don't need to do anything... all she need is a piano and her amazing voice. I love her shyness and her simplicity it makes everything more pure.

[@carmenyanes7638]

That's true! She is really beautiful in many ways

[@david197407]

yes she is a great singer & fab piano player & I just love how she makes it all look so easy when in reality it isn't easy to play a piano so perfectly, especially some of the notes she plays & to sing along so perfectly to it as well takes pure skill, lover her

[@ChristopherChavez]

It's just one of those nights.... #birdy

[@Kludysa]

She sings with such incredible sensitivity, empathy and understanding. Every song is like a story full of emotions being told by its author who is just speaking her mind out of experience. She is an amazing artist.

[@carmenoniga8768]

She's one of the best live singers ever!

I'm here 12 years after this was released... I was 2, this cover has stood the test of time, like most of Birdy's songs and covers...Hello Future Generation. I'm assuming youtube won't be going anywhere so... Hi. THIS is music. Enjoy. While you're here... Go listen to Wings, Skinny Love, and Not About Angels.

yes Birdy does some great piano playing in this & many of her songs & plays some pretty complex notes as well & sings along so perfectly at same time & makes it all look so easy, pure talent, love her

[@dudeymcduderson]

You need to listen to some chick corea

[@GeorgeWilliams100]

98 people are jealous of Birdys for:- - Amazing voice - Amazing piano skills - Amazing even live - Amazing beauty - She doesn't need autotuning - Shes only 16. 1 word i would use to describe her AMAZING. love this girl - big future ahead!

[@vozdeunicornio]

The ones who have the talent don't need a lot of voice effects or being dancing and doing nonsense things on the stage. I admire her very much :)

[@david197407]

yes she is truly amazing & I love how she makes it look so easy, pure talent

[@bethf794]

This is what real music sounds like, she singing live with NO auto-tune and it still sounds like the album version. Perfection

[@Keara29]

that as so long ago!!🥺😭

[@DylanBelleastinMail]

She is great.

[@lydiasahnine7987]

+Dylan Belleastin understatement.

[@essnah]

True

[@kimberlyrichardson47]

I can understand why people are jealous of Birdy, shes beautiful, talented, amazing...and when people listen to her beautiful voice they become stunned. Stunned by her Majesty and grace. This girl is an amazing queen in my eyes.♥

[@terryrichardson7763]

Thank you for those nice words Kimberley. I'm 80 years old and I just discovered her couple of months ago. I actually feel guilty. can't improve on your words my dear.

[@maddinicolex]

Omg she had the voice of an angel😍😍

[@NyxhTube]

has*

[@Sara-qm3ep]

I love how she sounds almost exactly the same live,better than the audio in my opinion,unlike other artists who sound aweful live

[@david197407]

you know you've got a good artist when they sound as good as if not better when you hear them live

[@maariahussain4414]

Like Niall Horan and the rest of 1D and McFly too! People don't give artists enough credit for what they do. Like they hear the studio version of a song and they call the artists a bunch of bullshit, but then when a friend or relative or whatever drags them along to a show they're like shit they're actually amazing, I should've given em a second chance

[@smn6004]

Maybe better

[@robinchume]

There is something very moving and extremely powerful about how she sings this. The original was good but this is something else. A young woman with a massive talent.

[@Wanoou_22]

cette chanson est pur, simple, mais si puissante ! un piano, une voie, birdy: le bonheur est dans les choses simple en voici une preuve

[@kimberlyrichardson47]

"If your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it" Please hold my hand birdy

[@SalwaRangkuti]

I always get that emotions everytime she sings💕

[@seankelly7274]

She was 15 here WTF, what an amazing song! So unique

[@elisabeth2560]

It sound just as good as the recording! Now a days people use auto tune on everything! Finally some real music. Thatnk you birdy! Whenever i'm sad i listen to your music and it helps me so much

[@FluffySoftSoffy]

She's so authentic and herself. I hope she's going to stay like that forever. Amazing singer.

[@MrsMarshmallowLuver]

I think Birdy's voice is outstanding.She has a uniqueness to her voice that just makes me want to close my eyes and think. Toss all those rappers and pop-stars, Birdy's voice is one like no others. At fifteen years of age I think she deserves an award or something.

[@harrydowell2327]

Easily the best live performer I've seen in my time ;-;

[@gringopig]

This is fucking criminal what she has done to this song. Torn out the soul and thrown it away. She's added in artifice and trills. Pitiful.

[@cristianfarcas3272]

According to this song, I have received a word (promise) from God for the next year. and here we have the amazing Birdy.

[@victoriacabrera5760]

What promise did you receive from God? And how does it connect to the song?

[@debsma9854]

You know this song is about disenchantment of deity, that's why people help the people.

[@joelleandrea690]

Her voice is good to listen to :)

[@aymanreddah3137]

Joelle Andrea It's very relaxing!

[@JOENGUYEN149]

After getting the terrible news about the NZ Mosque shootings, i have to find and listen to this song again, just to calm my mind and remind me of human kindness. #PrayforNZMosquevictims

[@pauline.g3766]

Le live retire toutes les imperfections, elle sublime la voix, déjà très appréciable de Birdy. C'est vraiment une très belle vidéo. On peur dire tout ce que l'on veut du fait que Birdy reprenne de nombreuses chansons, je trouve qu'elle y apporte tout de même une douceur fantastique.

[@daviddishman7491]

Beautiful performance - Birdy makes the world a better place she is like an angel come from Heaven to lift all our spirits.

[@mgg1991]

Her voice gives me goosebumps all over my body. So young and yet so talented, I hope she'll never stop performing.

[@Scottyhutch1]

This is a song that the world desperately needs in these times. Where greed seems to out-weigh peoples morals.

[@flarkityt]

Imagine if every person on the planet could hear this and understand the message

[@aldo2793]

Beautiful

[@user-cw8gq7ns2h]

I just love her))) How not to love this nice and wise angel??? In all her songs so deep emotional feelings... Listen n enjoy... Brilliant voice...

[@xavierleclair3656]

Magnifique ❤

[@TheWhitehorseman1]

The original writer of this song knows the truth of life, today's society is focused on self, it's great fault, and when we find that the only thing of true worth is helping others, in giving, and in giving we receive everything and if the whole world worked to help others without regard for self we would create paradise, or at least a beautiful world based on love and not greed and money. But if I had a brain, I would be cold as a stone, and rich as a fool that turned all of those good hearts away! This is about a world monopolistic capitalist system based completely on greed, a slave system where most of the population suffers for no reason except they are blind to the truth of it thus powerless, 95% of all wealth created since 2010 went into the pockets of the top 1%, this is obscene, poverty is created by wage slavery, it is injustice and exploitation, let us end it people, it is set up to guarantee poverty and bankruptcy, watch "Zeitgiest" here on utube. The top 64 richest people on the planet have more wealth than the bottom 50% of the worlds population combined. We can overthrow this system, as it is already crumbling, we are the 99%. No one is more enslaved than someone who falsely believes they are free!

[@lkelly3292]

Wylliam Reichart Your statement is as powerful as this expression from Birdy. Thanks for giving me food for thought.

[@Isht747]

You forgot to say that the original is very far from this interpretation which is really brilliant.
