Birdy - Young Blood

'Young Blood' by Birdy

Originally by The Naked And Famous

LYRICS:

We're all young and naive still
We require certain skill
The motive changes like the wind
Hard to control when it begins

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can't help myself but count the flaws
Claw my way out through these walls
One temporary escape
Feel it start to permeate

We lie beneath the stars at night
Our hands gripping each other tight
You keep my secrets hope to die
Promises, swear them to the sky

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

As it withers
Brittle it shakes
Can you whisper
As it crumbles and breaks
As you shiver
Count up all your mistakes
Pair of forgivers
Let go before it's too late
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper
Can you whisper

The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The bittersweet between my teeth
Trying to find the in-between
Fall back in love eventually
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I like the Naked version better, but this is one brave try, sounds very different and many people will like it more than the original.

[Iwan2007]

both versions are gr8 :). completly different. like bananas and apples. nothing to compare ;)

[Alexander Gustavsson]

Why do people think covers are supposed to be better than the original? Covers are supposed to be your own take on the song, she made it different and both songs are amazing :)

[blUdz18]

Jokes. She's from the UK! lol...

[blUdz18]

Both cool. Only difference is TNAF are from New Zealand and Birdy is from Australia ANZAC spirit still alive down here :)

Great cover! I heard this one first and fell in love with it. The original is good but I think this one just has so much more soul. But like someone said, it all comes back to personal preference.

[Jacob Kohn]

But apples are better aha

[4aapjes]

hmm for me this version takes the feeling out of the song..

[Yoli salado]
