Birdy - People Help The People (Official Music Video)

The official music video for Birdy - People Help The People (by Cherry Ghost)

Taken from Birdy's self titled debut album released in 2011, which featured the singles 'Skinny Love', 'Shelter' & '1901'.

Lyrics:

God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess you kissed the girls and made them cry
Those hard-faced Queens of misadventure
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
Fiery throngs of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back, oh

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence
Behind the tears, inside the lies
A thousand slowly dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts
Guess the loneliness came knocking
No one needs to be alone or sinking

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned, all those good hearts away

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, ooh

People help the people
And if your homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
People help the people
Nothing will drag you down
Oh, and if I had a brain, Oh, and if I had a brain
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away

The world really needs this message right now

[a.c.]

My sister showed me this masterpiece before she died.... She listened to it all the time.... She died at 28 years old May 30 2022 from a car accident. She'd just finished a 12 hour shift as a nurse at the nursing home... She was just trying to get She was a very kind soul and I I miss her so much. This song will forever remind me of her. I miss you Kristen Lynn ❤

[hibitch]

2015: this song is perfect
2020: this song still beautiful

[lorettax]

The fact this woman was 15 when this was made, she is phenomenal

[maryantonietteabanoalforte]

It's already 2024 and this song hits harder than the first time ❤️

[kamilaadamczewska]

She was 15 then and people are crazy about Billie Eilish now
Why is Birdy so underestimated? 😭
(and I don't mean to offend anyone)

[sefda]

They played this song today on more than 50 radio stations across Europe to show support for the earthquake victims of Turkey and Syria. Such a beautiful gesture. If only we helped each other more often, the world would be a much better place.

[percylow-key]

So birdy was 15 years old when she released this masterpiece. She's surely gifted.

[Letsgopastth]

Who else watching it during this corona time

[ylenia_guitars]

People help the people... These days that message is more important than ever. Stop wars. Spread kindness. Everybody needs everybody. Thanks Birdy for capturing the vibe so well

[therealdahniel]

I just discovered this song and it's been on repeat ever since. The song makes me feel things I can't explain. It's beautiful.

[analurdes]

Quem ainda está ouvindo em junho de 2024

[kellyserna]

if you are listenning to this at night then you want to get sad

[lennardsmit]

Imagine this song is 8 years old. Jesus Christ, I’m getting old.

[gambitoeugene]

This song is timeless. The message, the singer, and the entire song is inspiring. Every Birdy's song is meaningful. Don't know why she's underrated

[onionlipadua]

The fact that this song is being more accurate and relatable year by year just shows us that everything is going downhill internally, behind the tears and inside the lies. Birdie made such a strong song in sense that it keeps its captivity and manner even years elapse.

[skew]

This song screams PEACE.
We need it now more than ever..
💔☮️

[TheDubyaB]

You know how, no matter how much you like a song, you get burned on it after awhile? Well I've been listening to this song (and many other Birdy songs) every day for almost three years now and still feel the same way I felt the first time. I will NEVER get tired of listening to Birdy. I don't know what it is about her but she is truly my precious.

[Jaheem]

Moment of silence for the people who are just now discovering this gem 😊

[menophoenix]

The fact that she wrote these profoundly deep lyrics at that age is mind blowing.
