Maybe I Had Said Something That Was Wrong

In a fit of rage, I crawled my way onto YouTube last night.  I was bored, done with homework, and sick.  I was looking through my music and was disgusted at how I didn't want to listen to any of it.  I shuffled through my songs once again on my iPod, and after a few moments, I landed on "Skinny Love" by Birdy.  Birdy is a British 16-year old who did an amazing cover of the Bon Iver song.  Personally, I think it's way better than the original version.  It was the only song I had by her, so I figured I'd explore some of her other songs.

Hello?  Best idea I ever had?  I think so.

I found the song "Shelter".  It's about love, like most of her beautiful songs are.  It's about her finding a boy who is pretty spectacular: except she's scared to fall in love with him.  "I have never/Felt this way" means the way he makes her feel is all new to her.  "Maybe I had said/Something that was wrong" is indicating that she is afraid she said something bad, probably unintentionally.

This song is just amazing.  I recommend it to anyone, whether you listen to a totally different genre or not.
