Young Heart is a masterpiece. The soft layers of sounds were so delicately woven, her voice was so real having experienced real heartbreak. Songs like Surrender, Young Heart, and Nobody Knows me Like You Do, must have really taken everything out of her. I doubt we'll see an album like this again from her.

[@stewartnunn8179]

What an incredibly beautiful person she is. Something very sincere about her. Completely explains why her music is so touching. She could break my heart in two.

This new album 👌🏾 the interview 👏🏾🙌🏾 I love birdy, been following her since day 1, It's been amazing watching her grow and evolve in her music.

[@Dimm22]

She is so cute! The album turned out great, we are waiting for the first places in the charts!

[@filmpjesvanlieven]

She seems like such a nice person

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

Birdy is definitely someone I would really love to have a conversation with......and the other one is definitely Aurora.....they're so different and such beautiful souls. We're lucky, we've been blessed with this young ladies presence.

Thanks for FAITHaceCulture, thank you! "My mom was my teacher!" What a dream! When all children on Earth, could give a similar happy Familystory, then we are in the next room! Just a thought and imagination of bringing all talents and stars together for tjese ONE CONCERT! All together interacting togethEARTH! Era of Freedom and growth! And when you say, that it was stronger in childhood, then I don't know, why It is gettinger stronger and stronger, that feeling! My thoughts tell me, that some in or on me, has The Child never left alone! I ever had the thoughts that I must be a MUTANT! A question in the End: "where are your memories stored, where does the Heartbeat comes from and where are your inspirations coming from? SONY?

❤A very nice interview and friendly interview. It's always interesting to hear Birdy's development from her with such a personal background.

[@user-lz7cb3iu7l]

Such a privilege to see you so up close and personal, so to speak: Wow! (What's all this, "May I be pretty..." lark!?) You are so way beyond pretty, Birdy... So beautiful, so down to earth, such a big heart and a wonderful soul. And of course, so talented. {And even more especially so, because being so humble, I know that none of my gushing so, will go to your head. Nonetheless, it's all true.} How lucky is the person to whom you'd be their whole, as you say. (How lovely life would be, were it me... A nice dream and an even nicer reality. Holding my breath... ) You speak to my soul Birdy... I feel you Big Time: Big Hearts and Tortured Souls Eh!? You are A TRUE STAR... (and not a shooting star either - burning out and all that.) You are so wanted and desperately needed in these dark times, and in all those times to come that your presence will light up. Shine on Birdy... LIGHT THE WAY. I AM with you all the way. ❤

Great interview! Love Birdy! ❤

[@CasperEgas]

I love Birdy. Bought each cd so far. Think Portraits starts really strong and has a few more highs, but also ends too soon and fizzles out a bit. The Kate Bush inspiration comes through very well.

[@Rose10717]

Two absolutely likeable people do a wonderful interview❗️

[@stuartscovell45]

Great enlightening interview *💕

Birdy hermosura de muñeca eres pura belleza perfección dé mujer en todo sentido y es también mí Amor

[@panchiolarranaga1616]

I love Birdy, I'm a keyboard person since age 4 and I'm 70 now......gonna keep an eye and two ears open to your channel......I think Jasmime Lucilla Elizabeth Jennifer Van der Gaerde is a brilliant artist and a beautiful and special human being......she is so lovable and cute! Did you ever interview Aurora Asknes? from Norway.....another child prodigy sharing her Love, Magic and Goodness with us humans......and they're both the same age more or less, they were both born in 1996, which is a very good year for female artists, I also love Sigrid Raabe, also Norwegian, and an all time Aurora's friend, same age and another great artist in her own right so apart from the regular mainstream manure dumping. Great exchange this interview, hope to see some more. Txs
