Now, I LOVE good covers (so much that I have an awesome Spotify playlist with some of my faves), but one like this (below) by a 15-year-old (?!?!?!?!) is simply mind-blowing to me. Reminds me of my nephew & niece duo, Aaron and Allison.
According to Wikipedia, Jasmine van den Bogaerde (born 15 May 1996), also known by her stage name Birdy, is an English musician. She won the music competition Open Mic UK in 2008, at the age of 12. Her version of Bon Iver’s “Skinny Love” was released in January 2011.
I’d first heard this song in the first episode of the BBC’s Prisoners’ Wives online. (Before you judge me, I’ve had an unusual recent interest in watching shows/movies and reading books that have characters, actresses, or writers named Gemma in or around them. Okay, NOW you can judge.)
The song is beautiful. And timely.
