Skinny Love :
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?
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?
Anyone who knows me could put up a significant argument that I can relate this song to my car. That's for another post however. Vernon's simple essence that captures such a common feeling is literally daydream worthy. Seriously, go listen to the song. The words and music will leave you struggling to concentrate on the daily humdrum of your weekly life. I can take to heart the message of holding onto things you should've let go, and not taking blame for things and pushing them to others. We all make mistakes, but in the end things fall in place and work themselves out. The beauty of the song is everyone has a different view and way of getting through.

While I haven't been a fan as long as you have, I have liked Bon Iver ever since I saw him on the Colbert Report a few months ago. Although, my favorite is "For Emma," I do love the depth in this song. He really thinks about what he is writing. I love the second and fifth lines of the song. The blood and "crushed veneer" in the sink, to me, represents his relationship. It is wounded and he wants to fix it, thats where the salt comes in. Even the title is well thought out. It seems to be describing the relationship that is wasting away. I think you are very right, the message is great and really makes a person think. I also think that the song could be interpreted many different ways and that it means different things to different people. I also love the addition of Italian at the end!
