At the heart of his appeal is a lyrical honesty and devotion to his fans seldom found in today's mainstream musical landscape. And his fans love him for it. As testament to this artist-fan connection, out of 1,700 artists entered in the SSL/Eventful/Tunecore "Lay It Down And Mix It Up In The UK" Contest, Gavin took first place, winning by a margin of over 13,000 votes and more than doubling the number of votes cast for the second place finisher. Having won, Gavin traveled to Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios to begin work on his new studio album (due for release in 2013). Like his previous offerings, the album is sure to please fans and critics alike, showcasing his poignant lyrics, true musicianship, and further setting him apart from other artists in the piano singer-songwriter genre. Talented, down-to-earth, and with songs that touch the soul, Gavin is truly one to watch in 2013.

I wanna vibe with the song so am putting down the lyrics.

Come on, skinny love, just last the year.
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
Tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right at the moment, this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning, I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
'Cause I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now, all your love is wasted
Then who the hell was I?
'Cause now I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lies
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
And who will fall far behind?
Come on skinny love
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my

This was literally flawless. My ears are now beyond happy. You deserve the recognition that most of the talentless people of this world get. My new favorite cover? This one right here. Hands down. Never stop singing. You have way too much to bring to the table<3

@Dancinglemon

I don't care what everyone else is saying but your cover brought a tear to my eye. So what if the meaning behind this song is a little obscured? The emotion that you bring to this cover, especially at the end, is astounding. The best musicians are the ones who can take a song they admire and bring a new meaning to it and make it their own. Bon Ivers version is beautiful but so is this one.

@CrazyRunner8

I love this cover! Found it on Spotify in the Acoustic Morning playlist. I'm in love with this could listen to it over and over! Great job :)

@WebAnt

You are an amazing vocalist. I love your cover. What feeling and power in your voice. What quality of tone and phrasing.Thanks for sharing your enormous talent and God bless.

@Foiste

This gave me goosebumps right down my spine. It's gorgeous. I won't insult you, Bon Iver or Birdy for that mattter, by comparing it with those two when it's clearly intended to be your own, personal to you. You have some real talent, I love it.

@Tulletryneh

I'm a huge fan of yours, so is my dad (!!). It is not usual that my dad and I like the same music, and dad is picky when it comes to music too, but you're just great! The passion in your voice catches more than just one generation <3 Keep on making music that I can sing to and just leave the world a moment, and that makes me wanna learn to play piano :)

@Taywanee

I'm sorry but I really don't understand how this video can have that many dislikes. Gavin is one of the most talented male singers out there and this cover was absolutely flawless. It is my favourite version of this song and even if it's not everyone's cup of tea, you cannot deny that Gavin has mad talent.

@supertrooper73

You had me at the first note. You never cease to amaze us! Xx

@PoBoy028

This is nicely done. You can really tell that Gavin poured his own emotions into this song, and made it into something new.

@simoncwmbran

I just love him. His songs have touched me so much. And they always seem to say the right thing. Love it.
