I haven’t heard it but I am going to guess anyone that sings this song sounds amazing so I’m sure you do too ❤️ if you need to use the shower… that’s my go to 😂
I personally like the original song the best. It has much more grit and feeling and emotion. Birdy's version isn't shitty, she has a really good voice, but it's not my type of music. This one just feels like it has much more substance than her version.
I agree, honestly, when I found this, I kept thinking Birdie's version would be better, but then I listened to it and I honesty think it's better than Birdie's cover.
This song is about the ending of a relationship that was weak to begin with. "Skinny love" means "weak love" and so basically he's talking about how they have been trying to force it and about the guilt and pain that that causes when it doesnt work.
I love birdy but whenever i search this song her version shows up and I'm tired of it. Birdys voice is beautiful but this version is MUCH better. And people make it seem like hers is the original
A song that comes to mind when you know you're about to break up and can't really do much about it to convince the other person to reconsider.... A song to cry and let lose to. Thank Bon Iver
his words: we dated and she's an incredibly important person that i lived with for a long time, but it's about that time in a rship that i was gg through, that you're in a rship because you need help, but that's not necessarily why you should be in a rship. and that's skinny. It doesn't have weight. Skinny love doesn't have a chance because its not nourished.
Just to let folks new to Bon Iver know, he wrote this song and brought it to us first. Even though his version may be the less popular one, it is still the best version, as he brings it to us with the emotion intended for the song.
Original is always the best. Justin's raw and harsh voice add to the melancholic depth of the song. Birdy is good but not upto this. Ed Sheeran couldn't touch it upto any of these two.
This girl was singing this for the school talent show, she walked on and said, "This is Skinny Love by Birdy." When she was done I told her that she would have sounded better if she sang the REAL song. :3
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 hate this. Sorry, I don't want to hate, but I heard Birdy's version and I thought SHE wrote it, and then I found out there was this 'Bon Iver' bloke. And beacuse I love the song, i came here for a listen, and I honestly thought it was a pistake! :/
Birdy has a beautiful voice and is very talented. Same goes for Ed. Just cuz it's not their song doesn't mean it's wrong to like their version equally or even better. That would be like telling you never to sing a song again because it isn't yours. it's not like they're stealing, guys.
I told you to be patient. I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced. I told you to be kind. Now all your love is wasted? Then who the hell was I?
@Lozagurl97 The song is about skinny love, or love that isn't nourished. Pure and strong love is the best when its returned, but if someone doesn't give you love back, they get malnourished, and your love becomes skinny, weak.
i think i fell inlove with this girl at a party the other day. idk how she feels. i cant stop thinking about her i may be creepy crazy or whatever but all i want to do is talk to her and i can NOT stop listening to this song. it helps me feel comftorable and gives me a little bit of hope.
Beautiful song, makes me sad in thoughtful way, I still think it’s about suicidal intentions, blood in the sink, tomorrow I’ll be with you but it will be a different kind, I’ll be holding all the tickets and you’ll be holding all the fines.
This song shatters my heart into pieces but I still listen to it most days because it's just so calming inspite that ‘Now all your love is wasted? THEN WHO THE HILL WAS I? 💔 ‘In the morning I'll be with you but it'll be a different kind' I'll be holding all the tickets & you'll be owning all the fines 💔 I💔 can't 💔
omg I don't think the fact that Bon Iver sang this song first gives anyone the right to hate on Birdy. Each one has their interpretation that speaks to different people. appreciate each one for its individual perfection.
It is not just a song but a whole world of pain and repent in it. Expressing the utmost effort to strengthen the relationship which wasn't really strong enough and went in vain. When love isn't there but an illusion of being in love, it hurt and hurt hard.
I'd slap you for asking that, but this song is making me tooooo chilllllllllllllllllllll. Birdy is a British recording artist. A little thin voice but its beautiful.
Well, I didn't spend my time going back through pages of comments looking for ones about how people don't like Birdy. Maybe if I did, I would see a few. But people hating on Birdy isn't as bad as people hating on the guy who made the song.
Good lord, so much negativity in the comments all because people want to argue who sings this song better. How about this, "I like this song. Regardless of who is singing it, I like this song. It has such a beautiful feel to it." Just because people have done covers of this song doesn't mean people should fight. If anything this just creates more fans of the song.
I like all three verisons of this song: Ed Sheeran's, Bon Iver's, and Birdy's. But I heard Ed's cover before I knew who Bon Iver was so I will always have a soft spot for his version.
"not a very well known song, but I like it" 1: That statement is untrue, this is probably one of the greatest unknown known songs out there now. I know you put this up awhile ago 2: you are certainly not the only only one who likes this song
This is a song about a guy who has a problem, with either alcohol or drugs, and he is trying to tell her he is awoken the next morning to be fine, this is the skinny Love, nothing but drugs or drinking. and he is trying to rectify it the next day.
It's Beautiful. i tried singing it before i sounded like a dieing hippo. Bu the song is great.
Hahahahaha lol
You just have to find your voice.
Hahahahahah
LOL!! I have to drop down a couple of octaves but I have the deepest voice for a girl so I totally sympathize 😂🙌
I haven’t heard it but I am going to guess anyone that sings this song sounds amazing so I’m sure you do too ❤️ if you need to use the shower… that’s my go to 😂

agree!
Ed Sheeran version sucks Birdy is better.. but the original song is da best 🔥
Same
Agree !
This song is about the ending of a relationship that was weak to begin with. "Skinny love" means "weak love" and so basically he's talking about how they have been trying to force it and about the guilt and pain that that causes when it doesnt work.
cnphy I thought the song was about abuse. The lyrics, kind of lead it that way.
Sad ....wake AF
@@BigDaddy-vr2ut? No
I though skinny love was the meaning of two person that were having a crush on each other but didn't wanted to admit it
Thanks I couldn't understand the lyrics
I love birdy but whenever i search this song her version shows up and I'm tired of it. Birdys voice is beautiful but this version is MUCH better. And people make it seem like hers is the original
Ikr!
I know, it’s insane how many more views her video has than the original. You can’t beat the original.
This song grabs at my heart with a full fist.
Two full fist and drop kicks it me back in time, like the wounds are still fresh but it's just a fabulous song a job well done
I’ll be yours forever. Just tell me when to start.
My cat died yesterday. She was my best friend my whole life. This song really helps me.
Im so sorry x
i’m so sorry
It’s awful losing a pet, just awful
I lost two of my dogs when I was little: One Japanese Spitch and one labrador
A song that comes to mind when you know you're about to break up and can't really do much about it to convince the other person to reconsider.... A song to cry and let lose to. Thank Bon Iver
Well, this is the first time im listening to the original version and i like this much more, Birdy isn't bad but i just like this one more.
his words: we dated and she's an incredibly important person that i lived with for a long time, but it's about that time in a rship that i was gg through, that you're in a rship because you need help, but that's not necessarily why you should be in a rship. and that's skinny.

This song makes me want to think about life..and death, it sometimes brings a tear to my eye
this song is too perfect, his voice gives me goose bumps.
Can someone please make a 10 hour version of this...? I have to keep clicking the replay button. My finger's hurt.
Yt has a loop feature now bestie🥺🖐🏻
@@ananyabaldotra lol this was nine years ago friend.
@@SightForMemories youtube was so complicated 10 years ago on my iphone 5, yet so simple
Anyone here from the TV show Chuck?
They were experts at picking the right song for a scene. This was one of those picks. It was a special part of the show that made it unique.
looks like 1 person pressed the wrong button...
Original is always the best. Justin's raw and harsh voice add to the melancholic depth of the song. Birdy is good but not upto this. Ed Sheeran couldn't touch it upto any of these two.

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?
There are covers that are better than the originals. E.g Jeff Buckley Hallelujah, That is a fucking masterpiece.
A bit late to the party but this isn't a cover, birdys version is
i'm scottish, so we say "Bun eye-vur"
❤ IT !!! LOVE SCOTTISH ACCENT !!!
that’s how I say it!
i love the bit at 1:02 thank you bon iver for send a little magic into my life.
Well it's true. You can't try to deny it, so you might as well live with knowing at any point in time you might be dead.
I remember when I was 12-13 my father used to play this song always in the car , good old times...
My girlfriend broke up with me and told me to listen to this song for explanation. I f****** hate this song now.
I hate this. Sorry, I don't want to hate, but I heard Birdy's version and I thought SHE wrote it, and then I found out there was this 'Bon Iver' bloke. And beacuse I love the song, i came here for a listen, and I honestly thought it was a pistake! :/

No else thinks this is about a girl hurting herself??
I thought it said "and at the end of all your lies" I think that fits just as well
I wish more of Bon Iver's songs sounded like this one. I love it
l
I told you to be patient. I told you to be fine. I told you to be balanced. I told you to be kind. Now all your love is wasted? Then who the hell was I?
:D I forget everything and i just fall deep inside into this song

PHENOMENAL EXPLANATION 2😘
just discovered this guy yesterday.... phenominal
I did too.
I'm glad I didn't know this song when I was getting black out drunk everyday.
I’ll second that. It probably would’ve taken me to even darker places mentally.
Sounds a tad bit reggae or some sort of mix... makes me like it even more.
I like the song but what's it about??
i think i fell inlove with this girl at a party the other day. idk how she feels. i cant stop thinking about her i may be creepy crazy or whatever but all i want to do is talk to her and i can NOT stop listening to this song. it helps me feel comftorable and gives me a little bit of hope.
mattyCoDfreak divorced yet?
@@billiebleach7889 fucking hell 😅
But how did it go? Anything ever happen?
Hi i am from 2024 and i am listening to this song because of ChatGPT
Same
I really wish people would stop saying 'raped' in that context
feeling sad for all the people who're missing out on the real song🦦
this song is just so beautiful. bon iver is in general is beautiful.
Honestly it's a beautiful song, I love every version.
Beautiful song, makes me sad in thoughtful way, I still think it’s about suicidal intentions, blood in the sink, tomorrow I’ll be with you but it will be a different kind, I’ll be holding all the tickets and you’ll be holding all the fines.
after reading a really sad fanfic that made me sob i’m here to calm my nerves bc bon iver’s voice is just magical 😃👍
this was on chuck a buncha years ago!
This song shatters my heart into pieces but I still listen to it most days because it's just so calming inspite that
‘Now all your love is wasted?
THEN WHO THE HILL WAS I? 💔
‘In the morning I'll be with you but it'll be a different kind'
I'll be holding all the tickets & you'll be owning all the fines 💔
I💔 can't 💔
birdy is good, but when Justin sings it you can feel the pain and heart ache he suffered in order to create this master piece.
Even if it's not well spelled, it's still a reference for 'hiver' in french.
omg I don't think the fact that Bon Iver sang this song first gives anyone the right to hate on Birdy. Each one has their interpretation that speaks to different people. appreciate each one for its individual perfection.
It is not just a song but a whole world of pain and repent in it. Expressing the utmost effort to strengthen the relationship which wasn't really strong enough and went in vain. When love isn't there but an illusion of being in love, it hurt and hurt hard.
@Pereeez13 it was bon iver lol birdys only 14 lol this songs a good few years old
mattyCoDfreak Tell her, oh my gosh, that's so cute, and what would be cute,, sing her a song. Instant win :)
What's a skinny love?
NEW FAVORITE SONGGG!!!!!! i love itttttt!!!
I miss you Nikki.. I Love You. Always Forever Til The End
I'd slap you for asking that, but this song is making me tooooo chilllllllllllllllllllll. Birdy is a British recording artist. A little thin voice but its beautiful.
nice message :/ we're all going to die anyways...
All are here from chuck ?^^
Well, I didn't spend my time going back through pages of comments looking for ones about how people don't like Birdy. Maybe if I did, I would see a few. But people hating on Birdy isn't as bad as people hating on the guy who made the song.
Who's Birdy?
Any1 who loves this needs to check out the live version on Jools Holland
I don't care who the fuck covers this song. I still think the is the sickest most awesomest version. Bon Iver (Y)
Overheard my ex telling ppl that he was upset bc our 2 year relationship was probably a waste of time so that line near the end rly hits diff for me 🥲
This got me IN LOVE with Bon iver(:
8 deaf people are pretty upset that they couldn't hear this magic
@Pereeez13 I think it was Bon Iver, Birdy did the cover to it!xx
Good lord, so much negativity in the comments all because people want to argue who sings this song better. How about this, "I like this song. Regardless of who is singing it, I like this song. It has such a beautiful feel to it."
Just because people have done covers of this song doesn't mean people should fight. If anything this just creates more fans of the song.
I love this song sooo much..it reminds me of one of my best friends moving..:(
I think it's pronounced "Bahn-Eevair", just going by how they pronounced it at the Grammy's.
this video needs WAY more views than this!
Not sure how anyone can think that the covers of this do it justice. It's spectacular and the covers are average
my, my, my, my,
I can't believe some people thought birdy was the original
the shitter version is becoming more and more known... thank stupid vampire moovies
shit got real.
jesus, people. who cares.
enjoy the music, we're all going to die anyways.~~~
I like all three verisons of this song: Ed Sheeran's, Bon Iver's, and Birdy's. But I heard Ed's cover before I knew who Bon Iver was so I will always have a soft spot for his version.

Love this orginal version is Perfect 💓💓🎶
First time listening to Bon Iver, amazing.
Actually winter is spelled with an H .. Hiver-winter in French
was the song originally written by Bon Iver, or by Birdy?
either way, so chill
Bon iver
this song never fails to make me cry :/
Love, love, love this song! :-)
Healing happens one Bon iver song at a time
I LOVVVVE this song, its so bad! i love it. and i love the song from birdy, the cover, its so good! ♥
dang JoJo Sounthone brought me here i love this song now
I love this song so much.
This song puts me in the best damn mood..
you will understand this until you gain weight
your opinion is bad, and you should feel bad.
I hate breaking water for Croal and Stanley
this song is just to amazing(:
I totally just started crying out of nowhere
cette chanson est incroyable et inspirant! J'aime Bon Iver!
This is a song about a guy who has a problem, with either alcohol or drugs, and he is trying to tell her he is awoken the next morning to be fine, this is the skinny Love, nothing but drugs or drinking. and he is trying to rectify it the next day.
It perfectly encompass the feelings of a woman who has to live with a swine like that.
my my my my my my my god, is amazing ! :P
i'm addicted to this song now :)
@vidde to be fair, this song was written as a solo artist album. He was not a part of a band at this point.
