Artist: Bon Iver
Song: Skinny Love
Album: For Emma, Forever Ago

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 the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
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 lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

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?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

It doesnt matter whether Birdy covered this song or not! For god's sake, stop ridiculing her! She's a 14yr old girl who DID NOT sing a song like Friday, Friday, and is so different from the idiotic Hannah Montana/Justin Bieber followers! It's obvious she has good taste in music if she chose Skinny Love as a cover and performed it well. You can hear it from her voice, the amount of emotion she put into it. So stop being stupid and insulting a CHILD for a good performance of an excellent song!

[hannersworldd247]

oh my god, give the poor girl a break. Both are really talented singers so back off.... and I dont understand why you would even be making fun of a 15 year old girl on someone elses video, Bon Iver is seperate though they sing different songs, no need to collide comments. They need seperate times to shine.

fuck this faggot ass gook tard shit

[Valkodu]

@nostalgicBurst For someone who tells people to get over small shit, comments on the internet really seem to grind you gears.

[nostalgicBurst]

@Valkodu they're not saying that his is not emotional or saying that hers is more emotional. get over the small shit asshole.

[nostalgicBurst]

[nostalgicBurst]

[shit6152]

[ohmydearwallflower]

I came here to listen to good music, and not judge upon other renditions.

[blondeyshort]

[patricktanggo]

check out my cover yeah!

[CrystalPeachesxxx]

Both versions are great!

Bon Iver's: He is telling us his story, but this love has passed in his life; he has moved on.

Birdy's: Very emotional, like she has just broken up, and trying to tell us she didn't want this.
