And I'll be anything you ask and more


Måste ännu en gång lyfta upp denna människa. Birdy, en ung tjej med änglaröst och med känsla i det hon sjunger så att det känns som att hon levt hur länge som helst och varit med om det mesta. Ännu en gång har hon lyckats fånga mitt hjärta med både musikvideo och sång i klippet nedan. Hennes klang av vemod och lidande i rösten träffar mig så otroligt djupt. Hon sjunger ofta om jobbiga och tunga saker och spelar piano till. Här kommer ett utdrag från hennes hemsida som berättar lite om och runt henne.

"In the last six months, more than ten million people have clicked on YouTube to see this 15-year-old from the New Forest perform. It’s hard to believe that such a pure, powerful voice can come from such a tiny frame, or that such raw, deep emotion can be expressed by someone so young. But mostly, what all these new fans recognise is that Birdy is something increasingly rare and precious: a unique new voice, and a musician who can take even a familiar song, and make it all her own."


Birdy - 1901

Counting all different ideas, drifting away,
Past and present they don't matter;
Now the future's sorted out.
Watch her moving in elliptical patterns;
Think it's not what you say;
What you say is way too complicated.
For a minute though I couldn't tell how to fall out.

It's twenty seconds till the last call,
Callin' hey hey hey hey hey hey
Lie down you know it's easy,
Like we did it through summer long.

And I'll be anything you ask and more,
Going hey, hey, hey, hey,
It's not a miracle we needed,
No I wouldn't let you think so.
