Song Review
This song was introduced to me by a close friend at York university, and I fell in love with it immediately. I think it’s the passion and fierce delivery that impressed me so much.
Bon Iver, or good winter in french, is the current musical project of indie-folk singer/songwriter Justin Vernon. The song itself comes from the album For Emma, Forever Ago, which was independently released by Vernon in 2007. The album was received very well by critics, even referred to as “irresistible” by The New York Times. Other great tracks to check out off the album are For Emma and Re: Stacks.
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?
