Recorded alone in a Wisconsin cabin after a breakup. Became a decade-defining song about the thin kind of love that can't hold weight.
The song that turned Bon Iver from a rumor into a household name. Still devastating sixteen years on.

Skinny Love — Bon Iver
Key Lyrics
“Come on skinny love, just last the year”
The whole song is this sentence, rearranged.
The falsetto is what people remember. The lyric is what the song actually is — a plea aimed at someone who's already left, phrased as if there's still time.
