    I don't understand how anyone can say 'birdy's is so much better'
    this is a man who performed a song he wrote in one of the worst times of his life - the song is just raw emotion.
    Yeah, Birdy's sounds nice, but you just can't rival the feelings Justin Vernon gives off when he performs this. It's unparalleled

      are we ever really free to roam

      a human instinct is to explore the earth
      but shackled by a commercial notion of what we are worth
      money pays for every step we make
      and a childhoods dreams we must forsake
      for each world into which we were born
      decides what freedoms we will thrive or remain forlorn

    Interviewer : ”Skinny Love” seems this one is about the moment you knew things were destined to fail.
    Bon Iver : Well, this wasn't about who you think it would be about. Part of the trouble with the old haunting love, is that it fucks with your future loves, and can damn and/or ambush your relationships. That's who this is about. " ☘

    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
    Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
    I tell my love to wreck it all
    Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
    My my my, my my my, my my
    Right in this 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
    And I'm 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 brassieres
    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
    And then who the hell was I?
    And I'm breaking at the breaches
    And at the end of all your lines
    Who will love you?
    Who will fight?
    Who will fall far behind?

    i applaud the audience for not uttering a single sound throughout the performance. People usually want a lively audience that reacts to every little thing, otherwise they say things like "why is the crowd so dead if i was there id be losing my shit" but goddamn thank you audience for staying silent, we now have perhaps the best performance of this song that humanity will ever have for eternity, so good and so raw and the recording so clean you can mistake it for a studio version.

    People often misunderstand good music as only being a nice sounding voice. The beauty of the song is how eloquently it was written in such a painful time of a man’s life. The paralell of those two things really strikes a rift in your heart and makes you feel how he felt. Also, the effort put into the instrumentals of the song, and how beautiful and strikingly hard those instrumentals are at different points in the song, is used perfectly to sway your emotions back and forth throughout - just like Justin’s use of head voice followed by a heavy, scratchy, guttural voice at the points where he is “confronting” his lover in the song. It really is a beautiful song and I wish people would apprecia the artistic aspects of music more than perfect vocals. Birdy’s version is beautiful, but no reason to say it is better than the original.

    years ago, I listened to the birdie version of Skinny love, and I found out that there's someone called Bon Iver who has sung this song, I listened to his version and felt like Birdie did justice to the song. years later, today, its I am listening to his live version and I felt like what a fool I was back then. real artists are far less appreciated because the people don't have the quality to observe pure art. I won't say I have become a better judge, but the fact that I am able to appreciate artists like Justin Vernon makes me proud coz it tells me that I am on the right road and that I can appreciate what most people don't.
