On Birdy

Statement:  It is physically possible for your goosebumps to have goosebumps.

Proof: Exhibit A.

In the market for permanent chills? Look no further than the 14 year old bone-chilling singer/pianist, Birdy, of the aforementioned link.  She's 14, from England, and completely breath-stealing.  Also, she's 14.  If you've spoken to me at all in the past six months, chances are you've heard this before-- well, too bad.  This little lady is something big.  Never did I ever think any cover of the Bon Iver's Skinny Love would do the incredible song any inch of justice, but I will be the first to admit I was completely wrong.  After this song gave me the chills the 153,234th (a modest guesstimate, by any means) time, I caught myself thinking it might be better than the original; and I'll stand by that wild assessment-- it might be...almost definitely.  

Need more Birdy? Of course you do.

Here you go.  And here you also go.

So, the next time your AC breaks in your car, instead of getting it fixed just play some tunes from this talented young artist and let her Siren (a la Homer, not a la NYPD)-like voice chill your soul.

Your ears can thank me later.  Q.E.D.
