Bon Iver - Skinny Love - Music Video

[NoricaDoll]

Don't know why this always makes me feel happy

[hardcore4sony]

The guitar isn't bringing the point of the song, unlike the piano which is being played in "birdie's" version. Also the clip isn't very clear compared what's being told.

To me the birdie version is better...

[HristinaKanarini13]

Wish i was Emma.

[nm5177]

I remember driving home with a 2 friends from a ski trip from NY driving back to pennsylvania. It started snowing, and ended up whiting out the highway and put 3-4 inches on the ground for us to drive on. I was scared shitless cause i couldnt see further than 10 feet in front of me. We may have been going 30mph but everyone knows the truckers that like to pass, ride your ass and make things more difficult. anyways my buddy put Bon Iver on and it just made the whole scary ride into a nostalgia

[irokthtsall]

Emma, you are one blessed girl.

[Gliderman17]

Heard this song on Chuck, fell in love....

[makakathorpe]

I thought it was called Skinny Love because it was a short time that they were in love... whatever. I guess the world will never know. But I 3

[NerdfighterVee]

@makakathorpe You are right. If you analyze the song it's obviously referencing a romance that's at its end. It's gone skinny- wasting away to nothing. :)

[Kosmas354]

I can't wait!!!

Open'rer 2012!!!!



[oldleekumboozie]

the song is called skinny love because skinny people are better at sex than fat people

[milkykunn]

@oldleekumboozie LOL OMG. This comment made my day, even though it's wrong. The term "skinny love" is when two people are in love but both are too afraid to show it.

[Roggiedodgie]

Sorry- glad to see fellow Wisconsinites make it big- but this acoustic stuff bores me to no end.

[ChukNorrisKillsU]

Holy shit my comment is in top. But i was serious. I do am very male. First time i heard me and my girlfriend were almost breaking up. Then i fell into tears like a waterfall then we didn't give up. This is so pure. I'm one of those headbangers, but i admit, this song took me so deeply.

[VanessaRosier]

Bon Iver made me pick my favourite song.

[Noircie]

Way better than Elise Gourdoin.

[thedirtycommunist]

Justin Vernon turns me on.

[Skyz0rrr]

This is just so perfect.....

[Qwerstu1982]

whats this about?



[NerdfighterVee]

@Qwerstu1982 Skinny Love sounds like it's about the narrator asking his significant other to hang on to their relationship. Skinny does not refer to body size, but the amount of love.

[Qwerstu1982]

@NerdfighterVee its a great song. wether its sung by this bon iver or birdy. thanks for replying.

[NerdfighterVee]

@Qwerstu1982 no problem. :) I agree with you totally. Bon Iver's version is great, and Birdy's is cute, it's pointless to fight over it. XD

[wisnic55]

it's funny you didn't see a bunch of beer bottles in the snow. that is for sure wisco.

[sturbs87]

his girlfriend/wife in the first 20 seconds or so is hot, they showed a pic of here at the grammy's he's done well for himself

[Heyvickyvicky]

I preffer birdy, she sings better

[carnage101]

@Heyvickyvicky uh no

[JustWantYourL0VE]

@Heyvickyvicky she's good. but no one sings better than bon iver. bloody hell.

[liv496]

Finally something popular without a heavy bass.

[Sandpatt52]

I Like The song but the music video is like he gave a teenager a bag of shrooms and a video camera.

[emmalydonxXx]

@Sandpatt52 its not the actual official video

[grifffinification]

@Sandpatt52 He probably did.

[d0md0mt0mt0m]

@Sandpatt52 So, good, yes?

[LAtricity]

@Sandpatt52 Isn't that the best way to make a music video? Haha!

[AdeleJacotey]

@Sandpatt52 Was having such an emotional moment with this song here, but you made me spit my black coffee all over my keyboard... through my nose.

[ssbettymboops]

@Sandpatt52 hahahahaha

[uhhwolfgang]

@Sandpatt52 obviously never experimented with shrooms.

[denglish5]

congratulations to bon iver for the emmy

[qwerty9876543ify]

ok this version is waay better than any covers

[denulik2]

Amazing song...love his voice:)

[LoveMurnight]

Birdy just steal this song. He was earlier!

[joelleslie97]

This song is beautiful and I know it!

[wuste81]

@MichaelHaire0 Chuck Season 2 Episode 3 – Chuck Vs The Break-Up.

Go to tvedge.com and go to nbc tab and look for chuck. They list evey song played on Chuck for all 5 seasons.

[Caseyumich]

43 People aren't patient, fine, balanced, or kind

[wuste81]

Yet another song I found out about when watching Chuck. Damn, does that show have alot of great music in it.

[MichaelHaire0]

@wuste81 I remember Creature Fear being on Chuck, but not Skinny love? What episode?

[fuckyouremotions]

Congrats Justin! who the fuck is skrillex ?!

[Teritup2009]

@fuckyouremotions Skrillex is huge overseas...and he will be huge here too.  Bon Iver...congrats!

[DaZedNCoFused24]

@444TOON Was that English?

[ryanfluet]

One of the greatest songs ever written, but this video sort of reminds me of the footage that plays behind the lyrics at karaoke. #justsaying

[gentleradical]

So frustrating, I can't get a decent download of any of Bon Iver videos, they keep stopping. For me, what I have been able to hear is a bit bland. Beautiful videos anyway. Wish they had let the band play on the Grammy show!

[potterwatch07]

@gentleradical They were offered to perform, but Bon Iver turned them down.

[benisfromminnesota]

How the hell does the Bon Iver original version have less views than the crappy wannabe girl?

[PhivaFlav]

@benisfromminnesota It doesn't matter. As long as you are listening to the right version (Bon Iver's of course) then everything should be handy dandy. : )

[SkurfChannel]

Who here likes TRIANGLES?!?! xo

[TheStawie]

originals always prevails...fuck that other bitch whats her face!

[tinaaapay]

I've been really clingy lately with this. And now I'm obsessed.

[ChukNorrisKillsU]

I cry everytime i listen to this. And i'm a man. A big man. A big male man.

[donnakarenish]

@ChukNorrisKillsU a man must be a male

[laurents7]

@donnakarenish humor must not be your strong suit

[stevendwiggins]

@ChukNorrisKillsU Men do not cry, Men do not pout, Men deck you in the fucking jaw AND SAY Thanks for coming out.

[BlueberryRobotPro]

@ChukNorrisKillsU A big male mail man.

[khodge25]

@ChukNorrisKillsU

with Chuck Norris in your name, you better be a big male man.

[chrisAsmith14]

@ChukNorrisKillsU Newman from seinfeld? is that you?

[ZoeMyJesus]

@ChukNorrisKillsU I cry every time you listen to this and I'm a big mail man.

[ieatroches95]

@ChukNorrisKillsU I'm sure you are Chuck.

[DivivnoC]

@ChukNorrisKillsU u gay?

[imogenimogenimogen7]

@DivivnoC crying dosen't make you gay.

[Eatelet]

@ChukNorrisKillsU plus your name has chuck norris in it ! xD

[kangjiwook91]

@ChukNorrisKillsU

a big male man with a tiny loving heart~

[TNasticKnotts]

@kangjiwook91 More like a big loving heart.

[ChukNorrisKillsU]

I wrote this crying. Most beautiful piece of art i've ever heard. Thank you for making this.

[liimatahna]

I don't like the Birdy version at all :o but this is pure gold<3

[iSlidell]

I NEED TABS... PLEASE?

[amedkan]

@iSlidell

google

[RossMcGauley]

@iSlidell I'm not sure if there's tabs, but here's a video I found that taught me how to play /watch?v=IR-oD60WMsc Not fantastic quality, but it's certainly the right way to play it. :)

[adb362]

He is music, pure passion and soul. Ugh he's just perfection.

[violinartist1]

@adb362 I know exactly how you feel.

[misskiss347]

birdy's good. but bon iver is better.

[Aimstuff]

such a wonderful music <3 makes my heart fly away :)

[Mumblefilms]

HATE TO SAY IT KIDS BUT THIS IS HORRIBLE CINEMATOGRAPHY great song though

[jakeman3552]

@Mumblefilms no one cares dude. just watch the video no ones here for the cinematography. all a matter of opinion anyway.

[caspapongo]

theres so much emotion behind his songs. Makes the song so much more personal, something that other artists can only dream of

[mimesis6mime]

BELLE AND SEBASTIAN WHAT HATH THOU WROUGHT?

[OdinOurSaviour]

It's disgusting that Birdy has more views than Justin. Fuck.

[mbiernacki9]

when i am listennig to Bon Iver i always want cry :,D but this is good cry, cry which make me better person :) thx Bon!

[Hideaway122]

All i can seem to listen to these days is Bon Iver and Jacko Hooper (my most recent discovery). Real music with real soul. Oh and of course Ben Howard.

[MrBeelzebufo]

Don't feed the skinny martians ice cream because the seals don't like it when you evacuate the cave.

[rys456]

i dont know why but now i feel like crying

[blinkXmeXsunshine]

@rys456 Bon Iver always makes me want to cry the most bittersweet tears.

[15Volcom19]

fuckkkin unreal tune ! so chilll

[mamayoi]

Prefiro a versão da Birdy.

[LauraBiy93]

this, as the original, is definitely the best version :)

[kenkenka]

CHUCK

[Margoliousable]

this is soooo much beter than birdy's.

[LQTH]

the best way to describe this song is by the force it has to make you want to sing along

[jippe2000]

bon iver is zo goed dat hij zelf niet in zijn clip wilt voor komen...

[auag19]

When I hear this song it makes me want to cry, idk why tho.

Can someone tell me what the song is about?

[mpRag3]

The amount of views give this song "Official-Hipster-Status"

[AshlynViera]

@mpRag3 Fuck hipsters. It's all about flappers and the roaring 1923 fashion. Seriously hipsters are so passe.

[samwelallover]

@mpRag3 I knew about this song before you!

[whaas11]

@mpRag3 Ain't that the truth. A cover by Birdy got 16 million...WTF...yet awesome.

[RedundantComments]

@mpRag3 900.000 is hipster?

Hipster is underground and unheard of.

This guy just won a grammy, a not so underground award ceremony.

He was nominated when you wrote this. He is an amazing artist, and he is not hipster in any way. He's just good.

[crazycutie98]

I like Birdy's version.. But this song obviously means more to Bon Iver. He wrote it, after all. I love this man. <3

[IrisElizabethWeller]

One of the only songs that kills my heart and brings me to numbness while completely awakening every one of my senses.

[tigab37]

This song always makes me feel sad and a forever alone

I search forever arone on youtube

And i find this

Wtf

[Cresunt]

@tigab37 Because it's from the Forever Ago album or something idk, just read the fuking description :P

[Sannee135]

I also like this original version better.. more emotions indeed. Makes me feel sad even when I don't have a reason to be sad

[denise1960ify]

This song makes my heart soar. xxxxxx

[92royalty]

I'm 16. and next year ill be

[ZoBlythyn]

@92royalty thats gr8

[marcikuhn]

This is awesome! This guy is a genius.

[CzDagmaraa]

The magic in his music. <3



[1998Jessicaa]

Hate when people put down this version and not Birdy's and it's his song...?

I mean what is that - I Love Bon Iver and although I love Birdy, this version is better.

[Glanspenis808]

im 12 and what is this?

[tansybabyful]

im 15, Bon Iver is my life. This is my favourite version and song.

[Imthoo]

Let's keep it like this: Guys like Bon Iver more, Most teenage girls like Birdy more..

[ohcamisado]

@Imthoo guess i'm thinking like a guy again ;)

[Imthoo]

@ohcamisado haha :P

[sendittohate]

@Imthoo yeah, accept any teenage girl with taste.

[angrycid]

Who gives a shit about who did the song better, biddy or Bon iver, there both different types of music and are both amazing for different resins. This version has the great guitar background to back it up and birdy's just got the most amazing voice. To be honest they both do the song justice!

[eisenherz01]

@angrycid Well, always pay tribute to the original. I'd like to see Birdy writhe her own materiaal. Great song yeah, but c'mon a full album of covers? Sounds like a CD for the supermarket.

[17MetroStation]

Sorry guys! This 15 year old likes Birdy more!

Rachel :D

[MrJarmello]

everybody check out bon iver - skinny love @ glastonbury video. sooo awesome

[Julirhorn]

This song is so beautiful and genuine. everyone should be talking about the talent justin has and stop fighting about birdy.

[janmichaelis1]

Never heard of anyone who is called Birdy until I read the comments below. Just checked it now. It's good but not the original. Not Bon Iver. Nevermind

[Spitzorswallowsz]

I love

[cokebub3]

this sucks.

[scottrangers1]

who the fuck is birdy?? bon iver all the way!!

[illusivesweetdreams]

original is always better than a copy. .

[Drithiss]

@illusivesweetdreams Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah is better than Leonard Cohen's. .

[KTmario11]

Why are the top two rated comments about Birdy? Just shut up and appreciate the damn song.

[BenjaminJohnNourse]

birdy is good, bon iver is amazing.



[052947065]

wow this is a really great cover. birdys version is the best though.

[aLUSHworld]

@052947065 This isn't a cover, it's the original.

[hamronD73]

@052947065 BRO, get your facts straight, a pre pubescent 15 year old could not write a song so deep and expressive, she has not even known love yet. This song was WRITTEN and ORIGINALLY performed by Justin Vernon, her akward song is a cover, a very blah one.

[052947065]

@hamronD73 haha calm down. i love bon iver. i just wanted to see how many people would react to saying something stupid.

[FallenAngelDilara]

birdy COVER! <3



[amandamacfadden]

@FallenAngelDilara I hope you realize that this is the original

[lilietteday]

Who the hell is Birdy?

[mrf11998]

@lilietteday she is a singer who sings this song way better

[DeriFlor]

awful video and song.. birdy rocks :)

[tayeb1994]

@DeriFlor awful song.. it's the same song birdy copied

[Brattt0010]

@DeriFlor So you're the embodiment of poor taste...

[jswarens1]

@DeriFlor You don't like it? Listen to Justin Bieber instead, you prick.

[hdfher]

Love's a risk

[drooliaa]

bon iver sounds like winter to me.

good winter.

bon hiver.

bon iver.

[SirHipster]

@drooliaa Tis why the band is called that

[monia25cimka]

@drooliaa come to Poland, we' ve got -30°C :D

[jwhensiek]

@drooliaa ... duh

[jwhensiek]

@drooliaa The name Bon Iver is derived from the French phrase bon hiver (French pronunciation: [bɔn‿ivɛːʁ]), meaning "good winter" or "have a good winter".

[drooliaa]

@jwhensiek I'm fluent in French actually! I'm just intrigued by the connection between what their name means and how they sound.

[EnigmaInDisguise]

@drooliaa Hate to tell you this, but that was kind of the point in his creating of the title.

[aniagniech]

...beautiful....

[SidStumple]

Thanks Birdy, for introducing me to Bon Iver :).

[Newtide1311]

NO!!! There is only BON IVER... Damn Birdy... !

[tridentmovies]

Music video? This is just someone's home video's with the song playing over it.

[ezequielmale]

amor mezquino
