Skinny Love by Bon Iver

A folk/blues track, Skinny Love, by a man called Bon Iver, from an album entitled Jon Emma, Forever Ago. Nice track, a grower. Reminds me of Thomas from Denmark & Sons of Jim. "And I told you to be patient/and I told you to be fine/and I told you to be better/and I told you to be kind".



Bon Iver performs Skinny Love on 16th May 2008, Later with Jools Holland.



Another live performance, this time at the Independent, San Francisco courtesy of la Blogotheque.

Laura Marling
