Bon Iver - Skinny Love

Bon Iver is a band formed in 2007 by American indie folk singer/songwriter Justin Vernon.



The band consists of Micheal Noyce, Sean Carey and Matthew McCaughan. The band name comes from the french 'Bon hiver' which means good winter.

'The digital download track "Skinny Love" was selected to be iTunes (UK) single of the week and was available for free during that time, as well as being featured as the track of the day on National Public Radio.' {Wiki}
The song Skinny Love was described by Justin in an interview as:


"'Skinny Love' seems this one is about the moment you knew things were destined to fail. 
Well, this wasn't about who you think it would be about. Part of the trouble with the old haunting love, is that it fucks with your future loves, and can damn and/or ambush your relationships. That's who this is about. "
