    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

    Birdy's version of Skinny Love single-handedly helped me through my depression back in 2012. I was uprooted from my home and away from my friends who I call family, had suicidal thoughts but I listened to this song every night until eventually I got better, I see better. Until this day, January 2024 I still listen and remember not the pain but hope. Thank you Birdy.

    Tonight I feel so lonely, I just feel empty, like my life has no purpose or direction. I always wait for something to happen, something great that will save me from feeling like this, a love that will change my existence. It's hard to feel like nobody will ever love you like you wish or deserve. I turn around and see happy couple and people everywhere and then there's me. I fall for everyone and eventually hurt myself. This goes out to those who are going through the same thing, you're not alone. I'm here sitting on my bed and it's almost 2 am, and I think about so many things, my mind is so loud I can't sleep. I just wanted to vent it all out, sorry. I hope someday I will finally find peace of mind.

It doesn't sound like she sings that great, and the piano playing wasn't aything complicated either. I do like her rendition of this song though.

    When I was 12, I heard the line, "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," because they were words written on a staircase. I never bothered to look them up. But they kind of resonated with me and I held onto them for years- as encouragement in a way. It wasn't till now that I've heard this song and when I heard her sing those words, I cried because I had forgotten them but never in my worst moments.

    It's been eight years already. I'm 17 and I've been listening to this song for years. I feel some kind of attachment to it. It helps me resist - against dark thoughts, suicide attempts, distress, loneliness... I'm feeling much better now but still... Solitude characterizes me. Love escaped years ago. Thanks so much for this wonderful cover, Birdy. No one might read this tiny comment but I needed to write my heart out. This song means so much to me.

    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 in 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 brassieres
    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 our 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 version is beautiful, but completely incomparable to Bon Iver's. Birdy sings it from a teenager's point of view, where everything is so black and white. Bon Iver sings it from an experienced point of view, where nothing is black and white. He wrote the song to be a mix of emotions, and sings it as so. Not only is he sad, but angry, and acknowledges the joy he has felt in the relationship as well. Birdy has given the song more of a pained feeling, which is perfect for young heart break. However, Bon Iver sings the song with passion and expresses truth that relationships are more complicated than purely depression after heartbreak. It pains me when people say this version is so much better because I feel as though they are missing the point of what the song is written about. It is not about sadness, it is about love.

    • @adamwatson1786
      @adamwatson1786 Před 9 lety +1

      I interpreted the song as an infusion of both, sadness and love. I think Birdy approached the song in a inconsolable way (probably the emotions from a past relationship) and Bon had a more upbeat tempo which hints towards the topic of love, rather than sadness. However, "Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer" hints at depression, and in my opinion, the 'crushed veneer' is her skin and the blood is hers. I think she's referring to self harm, and also 'skinny love' might be her? The whole "I told you" part hints at this, well to me anyway. But, that's the incredible thing about music, everyone creates their own interpretations.

    • @ladycarabali1
      @ladycarabali1 Před 9 lety

      Songs are suppose to be a way of expression, so it does not matter if she sings the song different then Bon Iver, black and white is what it means to her, and I am going to say I love this version more.

    • @JordannWoOoO
      @JordannWoOoO Před 9 lety +1

      ***** I think the fact that you're not at all reading into it is much, much worse than hardly reading into it and judging the song difference purely by voices. This is, after all, Bon Ivers song. I have known and loved it for much longer than I have even known that this version was a thing so yes, I am biased. But what I think important is what you get out of the song, I hope you look into it enough to get something from it or that when you mean voices, you mean emotions. But music does different things for different people and I guess it's just good that people are enjoying both versions.

    Birdy is full of talent.
    My ex-girlfriend recommended this song to me, when the earphones were in both of our ears. Like what this song says, our love is also skinny but I really love her. Even now. I know she has a broken family, All I want is her happiness.
    I never made a comment in CZcams, this is the first one.

    I just want to reassure anyone that is wondering … Good wins. In the end, all goodness overcomes. Believe. Stay right. Don’t let all the evil of this life defeat you. You are strong and the forces that reside inside of you are indestructible.

      ***** bon iver sings this with so emotion, it just blows her cover out of the water. and yes, i do know she's talented. i own a few of her songs, im just saying she shouldn't get credit for a song she didn't write

      +CrazyLazyLove ...... isn't that like many other singers? get exactly what you mean though, why is it that it's always the "singer" that gets recognised for the entire song even if they didn't write it themselves. The whole point of being a sucessful artist is creative writing too if artists want to strive for fame
