  • Normally I just plain wouldn't give a shit, but Birdy did this to two songs that absolutely did not need it. Skinny Love by Bon Iver and 1901 by Phoenix. The Skinny Love cover took something really personal and great and made it the backdrop to a music videos that looked like a montage of the most pretentious black and white Tumblr photos rolling about. The 1901 cover feels like she just picked the song for the demographics of the people who liked the original, and then completely mangled the mood and fun of the original. Other than that, I think you're making a generalization that's perhaps a bit unfair.
