The xx. Shelter.

[vernonb141]

[CieraNevada07]

All I have to say. Is. Nothing. Because they leave me speechless.

[RiotedFreaxx]

[hitsfive]

Holby City!!!

[AlanaTheBoom]

[Nirabellalala]

Perfect video for a perfect song.

[YA1291]

[SpotLightSolaceFCM]

[SuperiFox]

I found this again! I thought it was a dream it was so good.

[DTaysi]

relaxx..

wow.

[AngieMT323]

I find shelter in this way Under cover, hide away Can you hear when I say I have never felt this way

Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on Maybe I had said something that was wrong Can I make it better with the lights turned on

[PAULARIVERP]

make my life so miserable, I forget everything lived and burn the memories are here ..

[aglfreckles]

And maybe I had sad something that was wrong , can I make it better with the lights turned on"<3

[sharpmemorys]

This song makes my heart flutter, like I should be looking into a beautiful girls eyes, i cant do that cause i pretty much lost my gf, and she had amazing eyes. So now this song makes my heart beat like crazy and i keep my eyes closed now:(

[wulfkine1800]

The flashing imagery is exactly how I feel when I listen to this song, except the flashing images are memories of a bittersweet relationship I had.

[emarmole1]

¿do you want a top comment about this video???? It´s AMAZING!!!! (the video)

[MrRenagade7]

wow amazing melody this song can take u anywhere u want!!

[subforsubbbb]

WHAT?! this was on vampire diaries??? i love the show but i had no idea :S

[dancingcupcakesxx]

birdy's kinda better

[ETS566]

reminds me of walking home during midnight. no cars. few people. everything closed. just the moonlight and street lights. so nice and relaxing nothing to worry about

[bladding1]

@ETS566 Thats EXACTLY how i feel as well !

[itsinmynamechap]

yeah nice vid

[missaroraluvsyoux]

like that it's haunting, in a loving way..

[tyty8484]

it really feels like this song is building up to a climax... but it doesn't quite make it...

[TheAmbershae501]

ikr it is!!!!!!!!!! :~)

[getitherereloaded]

birdy is way better

[pinkmeercatpink]

I love the original, I love Birdys cover, I love Sophie Habibis version, the song is pure beauty.

[diallow]

Sexy Art.



[Fluorescentbing521]

wow this video is just amazing.. its soo beautiful..

[laurenbrewer09]

I love this song so much. 3

[Bitoneto]

All I need is this song and somebody to hug :)

[yucravechina]

14 people listen to justin bieber

[captainfreya]

I genuinely don't know if I like this one, or the Birdy version better. Hmmm.

[siddysquiddy]

nice video

[FlynDice]

It's funny how I used to listen to this song a lot and didn't like it really until I heard the Birdy version.

[ruteepires]

Dear The XX

Thank you so much for writing and performing this song! If it wasn't for you I would never have heard Birdy version. :)

[MeeGusta300]

I am number four

[salsbase]

at least birdy's version shows some emotion there's basically 0 in this one just my opinion

[villarealian]

@salsbase when a person sings a song with heart it doesnt mean it would be strong, they made the song. they incorporated their actual feeling and emotion. i have no feral attack on birdy. she has a great taste of music. the only thing is that the original bands have less recognition thats all

[Shpongl3]

Birdy's version is just a different look at the song, why do you people even compare them? It always comes down to personal preference - just enjoy the music.

[shaunanisto]

Birdy aint got shit!!!

[marsskiii]

i like birdy's version more but this is great too.

[KayozKill]

Birdys cover is good, but nowhere as near as amazing as The XX

[diego91MC]

Just want to project it into my room with the lights off, lit a joint and whatch it all night long wih someone.

The video and the song, together, are pure magic.

[zimismyinvader]

This shit's Micheal Hipster fo sho.

[helenHeller01]

these pictures are amazing, like this song.

[lLauson1]

Y cruzaré oceanos, como nunca antes

Para que te puedas sentir como me siento yo

[chmsom]

aww...damon can break mine haha

[bitterthings]

Checked out this Birdy lady........ horrible. The XX owns this song.

[VampireKingDanny]

@bitterthings Birdy is only 15 and be honest she did a good job covering the song.

[bitterthings]

@VampireKingDanny Why would her age matter?

Anyways, I hate cover songs. 9 times out of 10, its someone who lacks talent or--- even if talented--- is too stumped to come up with something on their own. As for that rare 1 out 10 cover song---- and Im looking at you Hurt, covered by mr cash himself--- when an artist can take a song and truely make it their own, thats a very hard thing to do.

Birdy took a risk with her cover, and it sounds amateur.

[MrAqua66]

Have to say Birdy is better

[lVlegapanda]

@MrAqua66 seriously? hahahaha fuck you

[MrAqua66]

@lVlegapanda No doubt about mother fucker

[lVlegapanda]

@MrAqua66 hahaha fuck you

[MrAqua66]

@lVlegapanda the only words you can speak in English? I bet so. So sad.

[lVlegapanda]

@MrAqua66 ha ha ha fuck you. birdy cover better than this? yeah fuck you.

[songbird1030]

Sophie Habibis sent me here

[morose7]

Wonderful video, where did you get the clips/video from?

[xJuZtiNz]

somehow i felt depressed of why is my life like that but it is the way it is and it should be x)

[Ytrololo94]

Awsome.

[Meismeok921]

This video...is stunningly beautiful. I'm surprised there isn't a top comment about the video. Thank you for this masterpiece...with this masterpiece of a song!

[Azelas27]

@Meismeok921 Sorry, I listened with my eyes closed. I'll watch it again. :)

[slowrollingstone]

@Meismeok921 My thoughts exaclty! I would like to know who is responsible for this brilliant video. Please someone enlighten me.

[maria80153]

@slowrollingstone: i cannot agree more, people these days are so daft. oh, but at least there is this music to help heal. :)

[electr0w70]

J'ai failli faire un arrêt cardiaque en écoutant cette musique tellement qu'elle est sensuelle, passionnée, ils ont vraiment un immense talent -3 Ce groupe deviendra et restera mythique

[laurynthelovely]

@electr0w70 VRAI!! J'aime trop cette bande <3

[bubbl3b1tch]

why does it last only 4:34 minutes?

[eternallylucky]

well well well... Birdy's version of Shelter is so different from XX's... Birdy's emotional portrayal of the song just really possesses me completely.. :) XX's style of the song is like smoky street cafe era

[CaniTrollYou]

I think it's a shame that Birdy doesn't even credit the xx in her video.

Not trying to be a hater, just sayin'.

[pressedforcash]

Stefan Salvatore, break my heart.

[Akash1440]

Thump up if you come here because of i am number 4 movie :)

[TheEuropeangrl]

why do people dislike this song?

[clutchcityrockets]

12 people hit the dislike button

[MsPole666]

had to give this a listen after birdys cover.... i like, but birdys cover is completely consuming.... THE BIRD IS THE WORD!

[davidooo95]

can YOU make it better?

[andocrates]

@getbugged. Downtempo is restively unknown in the US, Portished was the last mainstream at. So you go to a really bad movie trying justify the ticket price you latch on to Adele but you already knew about her and then you hear something fresh,(this track) whats to understand?

[tharaphee]

Is the song the original or birdys?

[woahmandy1]

@tharaphee the originall

[Glaceo]

This song is absolutely magic. So whole, it absolutely devours you. Love the xx.

Great job on the video here, too. :D

[TheJoeKrammer]

much better to discover bands at festivals... much more hipster i must say.

[DudesOfHazardSA]

♥ The xx

[callmeadoll]

Captures every emotion

[kistapassa]

I can describe this song in one word: hypnotizing

[belsxoxo]

11 people cannot find shelter.

[DillaryHuff]

@belsxoxo more like 11 people live in a homeless shelter. shame on them for stealing a computer.

[nissanlover]

@belsxoxo 1 person decided to be a thumb whore :l

[ElitaVidZ]

I prefer Birdys version ...

[biokey]

the internet brought me here...donno about you guys

[SionedWillicombe]

To be honest, this version is way better than Birdy's.

[Liandru13]

10 Motherfuc**** with Bieber Fever... .|.

[bommmetje92]

beautiful song, horrible movie

[xcupcakekillerfrejax]

i keep coming back to this song, like i have no choice. - i think it's love.

[jackineedo]

GREAT video!

[Psycoflw333]

Beautiful song

[Legendslayer222]

Also, I love this song. I didn't know it existed until I heard Birdy's version, thank you for helping me notice this Birdy! :D Both versions I have heard are great for slightly different reasons.

[kevennboss]

bewitching... :D

[tomagotchii]

mesmerizing

[urbansavage84]

Heard this song on someone's remix through 8tracks.com

love it.

[coolpromania]

10 people need shelter

[WhyDoesSheLoveHim]

I loved The xx before I Am Number 4 and Birdy. LOL, I'm being such a hipster right now.. :/

[HaydenJ93]

it was meant to be 10 more likes not dislikes, bloody youtube and there glitches

[unvise]

I found this in my asshole. Now i'm gay with myself. .. now all of u shudda fuckkaa up and just listen to the musicka

[RandomFunStuff101]

@unvise Lol'd. Nice comment. xD Made my day

[MissCinnamonCupcake]

I haven't seen I am number four and this band is amazing

[wakborda]

I watched i am number four and now i LOVE the xx!

[MrTeardropp]

10 people can not make it better.

[diazaamia]

this song is amazing!!! i wish i had awesome voice :(

[diazaamia]

this song is amazing!!! i wish i had a wesome voice :(

[Blackoutz56]

Pundeminde wtf ur name is ur stupid tht movie ur just retarded

[GagasLitteMonster]

I like the XX before I am number four, but thatns to I am number four I have discovered that they sing this song. So THANK you! Because I now love this song very much, and in fact it's my favourite song now.

[Tekigun]

I liked xx before it was on "I am number four".

/hipster glasses

[joseph7i6]

to jest to i...wszystko!!!

[pundebinmande]

Why do the worst movies use the best songs?

[xxxcichy465xxx]

@pundebinmande Twoim zdaniem ten film był zły?

[ObliviousMaiden]

i am number four is amazingly stunning..... and this song too =)

[getbugged]

I need to know.... what is the issue with discovering new music through movies, TV shows, etc? Does it make you less of some kind of indie-underground god? I actually found this song through Birdy's cover. But whatever. I'm here, I dig it, my musical library has been expanded. I think that's the point, not how we stumbled here.

[HSuida]

@getbugged this comment should be framed and hanged in every "indie-underground god's" shelter :)

[Tobytobz88]

@getbugged i found it through birdys cover aswell

[Legendslayer222]

@getbugged A person that actually says something sensible. Thank you for breaking the ranks of internet trolls and getting thumbed up, I have some hope in humanity again.

[getbugged]

@Legendslayer222 Thank you. I'm always happy to at least attempt to restore that hope.

[Glaceo]

@getbugged And you just helped me discover Birdy. Haha.

[franburger1]

@getbugged BOOM. I love you. You just nailed my opinion. Haha good on ya!

[HBG91]

@getbugged...very good comment!!

[Luckylyn86]

@getbugged I completely agree. I love how mainstream shows/movies are introducing people to non-mainstream music. Those indie-underground people criticize people for listening to mainstream music, but then when people stumble upon "their" music they somehow get offended and lash out on how it was stumbled upon instead of being happy that a good song has just been passed along.

[Hattie1994]

I like Birdy's version and The xx's one both for different reasons :)

[beforethestormx31]

as much as i love birdy's version, i prefer this one. amazing.

[73musicmusic]

I love when someone does a cover of a song, and it brings you to an amazing song like this one. Thanks birdy and xx

[thenabeelful]

i am number four is awsome movie and this song also

...

[brechtje1996]

i saw number 4 but i didn't now that the song was in that movie O.o

[sakykBzz]

i hate the fact that i am one of those guys, who hate when this they like are mainstreamed. everyone now seems to know the XX ;//

and now this song is in a movie.

great.

[KYMSAYS]

@sakykBzz what does it matter sakykBzz? Do you you feel less original or unique? Music is made for everyone to hear and enjoy. Music is made for people to come together. Don't be selfish.

[0000kris0000]

Hey, guess what??? I like both versions, EQUALLY!! :-O

[jamcat321]

@4mcglone

idiot. birdy is good, but never better than the original. xx ftw<3

[kenshin20111]

your video is AWESOME! :)

[bluesnakesv]

i am number 4, too :)



[IvhpBxx]

Sincerely... this song is so relaxing.. makes me think about my life. And this video is AMAZING! ^^,)

[4mcglone]

im not ignorant and i still think birdy owns this song cus hers is better, dont knock her for making songs better :) shove that up ur peice u KANT! p.s.... im bored of this song already, back to birdys!

[MissMiffed]

@4mcglone If you don't like the original (and, frankly, better) version of the song, why even bother listening to it?

People like you just fry my brain.

[4mcglone]

@MissMiffed suck it up and cry about it

[DukeWeIIington]

I did not come here because of I AM NUMBER FOUR. I came here because I thought she said, "Can I make it better with the lights turned OFF." Apparently she actually says ON... oh well, still like the song.

[jasonjerrardprescott]

love the xx and all i can say is both the xx`s and birdys version`s are both amazing songs obviously this is an xx song but birdys version is absolutley atsonishing considering she`s only 14!! dont compare just admire! there both beautifull.

[SDAG]

Dear Youtube,

Please stop suggesting songs from Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez on videos that have absolutely no relation to either of them or their style of music. Thanks.

Now that being said.. love this song.

[PoppinDloc]

OMFG. BIRDY'S DONE A COVER TO A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND MADE EVERYBODY THINK HERS IS BETTER. PISSES ME OFF. First skinny love... you've got all the ignorant people like OMG Birdy owns this song yeah :DDDD Now this is going to get huge and played out, greattttttttt

[kindahottish]

As much as I adore The XX, Birdy's cover absolutely owns this version in every way possible. Insanely beautiful, give it a fuckin listen.

[scotty12347]

@kindahottish

Give it a rest, her Bon Iver cover is good but her cover of Shelter pales in comparison to the original.

[Angela1godric2sylar]

I am number 4 got me into this song,its an addicting song ..if you havent seen "I am number 4" yet you should

[timifrco1]

How does someone could dislike this?

[Scodd0]

i am number four may have been a pretty bad movie in my opinion but the song soundtrack is amazing

[jannaox]

this song is in i am number four...i'm pretty sure the populace of teen girls in the world have heard this song.

[2012eyore]

Same here. # 4 brought me also. Our secret...

[SDAG]

So peaceful and sad at the same time. I can't help but listen to it over and over.

[BabyDuck]

Can you hear

When I say

I have never

Felt this way

I still want to drown

Whenever you leave

Please teach me gently

How to breathe

RRS I dedicate this song to u

[Whitemexican]

never mind im retarted. Matthew Hemerlein coverd this song, if u love this original check out his cover. its just as amazing!!!

[Whitemexican]

someone please let me know but for wutever reason ive hurd this song before but someone else singing, so main question is....is this a cover or a original???? soo confused

[TkPr0ductions]

Damn, this song made me sad :(. But I loved it.

[luismraz]

this song is part of a soundtrack called im number 4

[JehuisRad]

@madhatternynja thats fucking dumb as fuck, If you like a band or a group you should wish them best successfully regardless if they become something that you don't EXCULSIVELY like, if you got a problem with "Main Stream" just revist songs like this. Fucking Faggot.

[sentbythehand]

Wow what a great song.

[916chris916]

thumps up if this song was on im am number 4 because this bands not from this world lol

[andina18]

@916chris916 lol i just finished watching im number four XD

[FrenchHouseDUH]

hellz yea

[Laffen831]

Why are this happening to me?? Why was it me? Cuz my headset´s dead!

[Ese1Pac]

love this song... first heard it on the Hulk dubstep remix... but this one is much more chill... time to buy some new music :D

[safying]

song is beautiful, the mtv is terrible. you can do better than that....
