Ellie Goulding - The Wolves

[DeBoWed]

this is horrible...-_-

[MsHenryTheGreat]

Anyone else think it's weird you can hear her switching chords, but not her playing the guitar? :P

[ev69able]

bon iver has a special place in my heart. thiss is wonderful but someone who truly appreciates bon iver would automatically knoww the original is better.

[XtineTastic]

I originally thought I would hate this, I don't. But definitely love Bon Iver's version better.

[bunzzyjump]

my favorite song...<3



[flowerlizz456]

Idk about all the pauses... but other then that, its good.

[chrislewis2005]

Just Found her tonight. What can't she do?

Covers - Check

Original - Check

Beauty - Check

Voice - Check

Yep, she's got it all!

[EmlynLuvsSG]

So many beautiful Bon Iver covers these days.

[tingtong45678]

Wow I love Bon iver and this is amazing, can't decide what I like more

[thejokerjeroen]

@tingtong45678 Bon Iver! What else..

[harvancik123]

this is too slow for me... i like her better shit

[The2breathe]

bad.. hahaha

[TheThegreatmarvin]

FUCK YOU UGH

[nerdyzeldafan]

@TheThegreatmarvin You mad, brah?

[TheThegreatmarvin]

THIS IS SHIT!

[NinaAimeeElst]

@TheThegreatmarvin This is beautiful, and if you'r just here to let us know that you'r jealous, you can go away -.-

[TheLilpanini]

@TheThegreatmarvin not really bbs.

[kathlyxcx1]

@TheThegreatmarvin Like your face.

[nonstoprofling]

This is by far one of the most amazingly beautiful things I've ever heard. And I really like how high she sings! I'm a soprano, and it's hard to sing along with songs when the singer sings really low! It's just one more thing I love about her! <3

[TheSim1derful]

Woa, this is really good. 

[Bailthesnail]

yay wolves

[EllieJaneG]

This is so perfect!! I love it!!!! It sounds so good and beautiful!!

[XxAmiInWonderlandxX]

Ok, Ellie Covering Bon Iver.. Yes, Life Is Officially Complete♥

[jarofspit]

An outstandingly beautiful voice recreating this already euphoric song.

[WizrdCud84]

i like it but her voice is way to high for me but amazing job

[AbnormalxAlex]

holy fuck.

[SJH402351]

I'm speachless. This is so beautiful and pure!

[TheLilpanini]

Turn on the snow! :D

[MissHorseFan1]

this is my favorite song that ellie goulding has done.... its just amazing

[Nive0us]

This is the perfect song.. and the perfect cover..

[mcdaniels00]

I'm not sure why everyone's freaking out...Bon Iver does a ton of covers of great songs. Chill...

[savannahrenee1113]

@mcdaniels00 but ellie is covering his song..

[mcdaniels00]

@savannahrenee1113 Yeah...

I'm just baffled that some people are pissed that Ellie Goulding covered a Bon Iver song when a handful of Bon Iver and Justin Vernon's songs are covers of other great songs. Bon Iver can cover songs they want to cover, but God forbid anybody covering one of their songs haha.

[0secretusername0]

When something is PERFECT, don't TRY to redo/change/BASTARDISE it...

[SharicahBabehMaker]

Ohmy<3

[mufasabrian]

how do you pronounce her name?

[Legges64]

@mufasabrian like Golding.

[Legges64]

@mufasabrian as if there's no u, so like Golding.

[TomHoole]

Oh you fucking bitch!

[HereComesAlina]

she makes the best cover with her wonderful voice. <3

[TheJonesy0605]

Seems a tiny bit rushed and she'll never capture the emotion Justin sings it with. Otherwise excellent cover - I wasn't expecting it to be that good to be honest!

[gageamanda93]

gorgeous <3 I wish I could sing like her...

check out my channel :)

[midnightarmonia]

Ellie Goulding covering Bon Iver? Oh my god, everything is beautiful and nothing hurts

[TheThegreatmarvin]

@midnightarmonia suck a fat one

[skaterdude10001]

@TheThegreatmarvin You, are a terrible person, you should feel horrible about the way you treat people.

[sfcupcake1]

@skaterdude10001 Amen to that!

[ManiakMikachu]

@midnightarmonia PERFECT comment and SO true!!! Can we be best friends? hahahaha

[rcoconn]

I love the original and I love this cover. 

[jazzychris1]

Perfection 

[Slayermachete]

Ellie is so pretty...I want to kiss her beautiful face

[ellisxbuttrey]

no

[stylstrong]

Ellie love you !

[luv11laugh]

I LOVE THIS SONG MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE ITS THE FIRST SONG IN MY ELLIE GOULDING PLAYLIST <3

[DylanOwenMusic]

This is fantastic. Such a beautiful song

[tndancer1]

Love. <3

[100dancelover100]

atleast she didnt cover skinny love. sooo over done.

[PromisePerfection]

ELLIE <3

[peacelovelive61]

beautiful son, but it gets a little on your nerves at the end after a thousand times of saying the same thing... but it's so pretty i like it anyway

[98purplerox]

the first time I heard this I ABSOLUTELY hated it, but now I'm addicted to it. That's what I call the Ellie Affect :)

[TheNic70]

kindesmißbrauch?

[Danaaaaaaa1]

GOD, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[abbieflowerpower19]

Wow, Ellie goulding is my hero!

[Gouldinger23]

@abbieflowerpower19 Same! :D This song is so beautiful! :D x

[Ukwonderboy]

Beaaaautiful Cover!!

[painthimpink]

I love the way she sings this song. I love everything about it. It's so unique..

[xTinaGoesRawrx]

I literally love this song.

And jpb3rz: She say YOU cause its her accent tyeing with meaning and her voice she has a strong beautiful accent to match her beautiful self<3.;3

Check out my channel view sub add rate and commentZ<3?;3

[RAVEPATROLWOLF]

tis sounds like an african song

[Ashleyamberly]

@RAVEPATROLWOLF Same i think it's because it has a call and response vibe about it, which is ironic because separated wolf packs do that with each other to direct the lost wolf back

[xXxSangelxXx]

:) I'm doing a lyrical dance to this song this year! Pretty excited

[tanyaleigh111144]

she's AMAZING

[kathlyxcx1]

nice song

[SMcG2012]

Okay, this is how black holes are created! The galaxy just can't contain the amazingness.

[Laraandloveforevry1]

This is quite lovely. :)

[iluvhim13andudont]

i love this song, it makes me go on with life :)

[Marillionmad]

my gosh that was beautfiul. 

[rosieposiexxful]

her voice is so odd and unique, it's amazing

[millsofmusic]

Her voice.... so pure and true luv Ellie :)

[annazinn1993]

WOW!!!! The first song I hear her do was Jolene, and she just won some serious brownie points for this one! love it

[jazzychris1]

Her voice just melts me...

[MrsImagination12]

This reminds me of the Shiver series. .___, Especially the last book.

[mslmfao1000]

this is one of the songs i'm definitely not sure about

[adayakoerhuisgarcia]

this song makes me so sad, i don't know why

[tomy123454567535]

I can't believe there's people who think Birdy wrote Skinny Love. This cover isn't that bad, and I'm glad she didn't something slightly less obvious than Skinny Love or Flume, but still Justin Vernon's is by far the best.

[RealGirlz3]

I love this.... It reminds me of twilight for some reason :P

[MyLlamaLlama]

@RealGirlz3 or the book Shiver

[mcrfan221]

@MyLlamaLlama I totally agree. Definitely Shiver. I listen to Bon Iver's album, For Emma, Forever Ago when I read that book. It's so perfect and beautifully heartbreaking.

[MyLlamaLlama]

i love this song. (: and the original

[burnedforme]

Why can't she release this as a single?! So good.

[alwaysandeverful]

@burnedforme She didn't write it.

[mechupoconfresii]

her voice: pure magic

[hplucas]

really.

since the day I've listened to this... everything changed.

I shiver, and I just feel the song.

[LingeringShiver]

OH GOD why cant she put this on itunes D:

[shortyty99]

so pretty

[twiauOfficial]

Bon Iver forever.

[dawn111100]

amazing...

[actressinny]

Good job, kiddo.

[XCharlotteLovesMJX]

Wooowww 

[thesaymsia]

Ellie Goulding covering Bon Iver's song! BRILLIANT!

[wildspirit123]

Everytime I hear her sing my heart grows wings and flys. I love you Ellie! Your voice is super amazing. <3

[pinkycheeks]

i. love. ellie. so. much.

[burgeonfire]

this sends a huge chill down my spine. it's flawless.

[LaVitaMusic8557]

FROM THE START HAD ME AWED.

[kikilovesyou1000]

im shocked o3o its sooooo prettty

[DancingMonkey12]

Come on, obviously Justin Vernon is better but you have to admit this is better than birdy.

[gravesofqueens]

@DancingMonkey12 I think the three of them are fantastic, and there shouldn't be any need to compare them.

[fabusic24]

Wow did any one notice that there's really no music playing in the background ? Its just her singing I love that!

[bluntobjct]

@fabusic24 there is bit guitar in there, very faint and fragile. and her voice in overdubs.

[luvmyMCR4evaxx]

My god this makes want to cry...

[SelenaLover097]

Excuse me, but why is everyone being so rude about Ellie? This is her cover, I personally think she did a beautiful job, it appeals to me a lot. She did this for her fans, not for people who couldn't do a better job themselves. GO ELLIE :D

[singingbeautifully22]

No offense but there is a lack of feeling when you sing this song.

[jpb3rz]

why does she say "YOU." like that!?

[MyLlamaLlama]

@jpb3rz for emphasis

[theycallmemicky]

@jpb3rz i found it kinda strange...

[SMcG2012]

@jpb3rz Because she's British... ?

[AshleyBrightEyes]

@jpb3rz That's how bon iver sings it.

[Brikeljen]

My God her voice sounds heavenly.

[thesydneyfication]

AHH BON IVER. AHH ELLIE GOULDING. AHH MY LIFE IS COMPLETE.

[sodapopshop13]

*voice..

[sodapopshop13]

i happen to LOVE both ellie goulding and bon iver's music.. but i can't help but not want to even hear the rest of this song. /: its almost heartbreaking how much superior his original was because she really does have a beautiful job, and i feel she didn't do her voice or the song, justice.

[NolanNa1]

@Gabriellaella23 calm down, it's just a song, Ellie this is a goodin.

[Gabriellaella23]

@NolanNa1 What? Why did you say "calm down"?

[Mychemarit]

i like this cover :)

[01mikeydoo]

she freaking blew it on this

[Mychemarit]

simply beautiful

[EnderAzOphie]

I love Ellie, but, uh... she should have never covered this song, this song is too perfect, it can never be redone and hold any of it's previous value. And this cover does not do it justice, especially since she actually tried to make it sound like the original, and fell straight on her face. And why doesn't this video pay respects to Bon Iver? This is blasphemy.

[Gabriellaella23]

@EnderAzOphie What in this version made you think she was actually trying to make this sound like the original. I don't think she was. I think she went a totally different way. That's what you're supposed to do when you cover a song. To add your spin on it otherwise people should just listen to the original.

[EnderAzOphie]

@Gabriellaella23 She attempted to create the same ambiance with her voice that Justin Vernon creates in his original and far superior version. She tries to get the deep auditorium reverberation by looping several different background tracks of herself singing as her own backup, but she fails, because it sounds forced, is too loud, not subliminal, and therefore, terrible as fuck. And I barely even need to mention she cannot touch the range required to execute this song effectively.

[EnderAzOphie]

@Gabriellaella23 And also, darling, just because you cover a song does not mean that you are supposed to put your own spin on it, in fact, covers are often done as an homage to the original artist. Like listen to Metric's cover of "Between The Bars" by Elliot Smith, you'll shit yourself because Emily Haynes does Elliot Smith's legacy such sweet justice.

[Gabriellaella23]

@EnderAzOphie That's your opinion because I do not think it sounds "forced" or "terrible". I think she did do this song justice. I love Bon Iver and his is better, but the truth is that if Bon Iver had not done this and this wasn't a cover it would just be beautiful. So just because it is one (and come on now its fucking Bon Iver) doesn't mean you have to ignore that and dis it.

[EnderAzOphie]

@Gabriellaella23 I didn't say "terrible" I said "terrible as fuck", which is a much more appropriate assertion for this putrid butchered mess. Yes it's fucking Bon Iver, how dare her even make claim to a voice that could deliver his song with nearly as much beauty. And, no, if Bon Iver's song was never written, Ellie could have never conjured up lyrics as divine and moving. It sounds forced when she sings her own backup, and she is trying to sound just like Bon Iver's Version...

[Gabriellaella23]

@EnderAzOphie Idc its still sounds beautiful to me and many other so... and I just don't feel like arguing over an opinion on Youtube right now... Its been a long day. So its whatever.

[EnderAzOphie]

@Gabriellaella23 I mean for real now, listen to Bon Iver's superior original, listen real deep to himself singing his own backup, he sings and several different deeper tones and often sometimes and much higher tones. Ellie could only dream of having that sort of range, but, she doesn't, because she banks off of her one range, because that's all her fans (you) expect from her, and she makes bank off of your auditory retardation. Slave! BON IVER FTW

[rayalishous11]

@EnderAzOphie Fuck a cow you twat

[EnderAzOphie]

@rayalishous11 You're such an inspiration to me.

[redsunset1978]

make it stop please

[yoursimplywonderful]

I respect her so much more for even attempting to do a Bon Iver song.

[pheonix628]

Marry me Goulding

[misscarol2]

I Like Ellie But I Dont Like The Song...

[roboticsage1]

she doesnt hold the notes long enough to really get the feeling of the song, way to curt and short. But it's different and i respect it.

[2009afroman]

this reminded me of mumford and son :)

[danielwhiteUK]

nobody is comparing them, i think in general people need to get over their covering issues. I mean, Bon Iver must have given her permission to cover it..

[Jamiecoop123]

@enjoymusicable birdy and Elle have nothing on Justin Vernon! Birdy is only 14 so clearly she doesn't even know what the songs mean! Although these people are good, don't compare them to the Bon iver

[danielwhiteUK]

apparently she covered this because every time she listened to Bon Ivers version she cried every time and she wanted to cover it to see if it stopped her from crying... I think that gives this cover alot more credit, were as someone like birdy covers skinny love for no reason at all..

It brings out a really delicate side to her voice too, i like it.

[enjoymusicable]

This song is absolutely captivating. If you like it, check out "Skinny Love" by Birdy



[RedWarrant]

@enjoymusicable dude.. I hope you know neither of those songs belong to these people. Bon Iver fucking kills anything these guys can put out, and wrote both those songs.

[Mariadoesnotsmell]

No one gives Bon Iver credit for this beautiful song, if you'd have all heard the original first, you'd realise Ellie has ruined it. Though a talented artist this is not the song for her, it has been echoed too much.

[tgpooncat]

@Mariadoesnotsmell You do smell. Go away hater.

[mimilottolo]

@Mariadoesnotsmell I completely agree, and she is a great artist but this is just too . . .. fake? It has just been too echoed and she sounds too whiny, Bon Iver's is and always will be the best version of this song.

And for those that might think we are hating, we are not. We appreciate Ellie Goulding's talent, and we're not saying that she's a baf singer, just that this isn't very good for her voice.

[skiptothestep]

It is amazing when both Bon Iver and Ellie Goulding sing together!

[99elizabeth]

@tomkemp4000 completely agree, that girl that covered skinny love is getting all the credit for his amazing song. all the people listening to the radio think its her song and are amazed because shes only 15 or something; but theres no talent in just covering someone elses brilliant song.

[dragonmasta91]

love her voice

[barniebrack]

im a fan of her`s but thats really crap

[MarkStephenson1000]

This is shit

[codememo14]

im female and straight but her voice in this song.. is just.. well.. its arousing me :)

[SlobberyMonk]

Its a good thing the original song is so good, otherwise ellie might have killed it forever

[sylvianblue]

Wow, I've only just discovered Bon Iver, and totally love this song. This version is totally awesome too.

[TheSummerLoverJESS]

Jona has good taste.

[aliagalindo]

thumbs up if jona weinhofen sent you here <3

[IchHeisseNinja]

Jona you lad.

[rodriquez33]

Ellie is the shiit i'm i her only black fan ....

[Akuajaay]

@rodriquez33 no you are not! Hi 5 sista...the only thing is im 15; how old are you if i may ask?

[noneedchick]

@rodriquez33 nope(:

[Gabriellaella23]

@rodriquez33 I'm black and I love Ellie XD

[afriKENN]

@rodriquez33 no you're not

[rodriquez33]

Ellie is the shiit i'm i her only black fan ....

[BaileysaDinosaur]

My favorite male singer and my favorite female singer both sing this song so hauntingly and beautifully. It gives me chills.. <3
