Bon Iver Performs "Skinny Love" at SXSW 2008

Listen to the full concert: www.npr.org/templates/story/st...
On "For Emma, Forever Ago," Bon Iver's Justin Vernon sings in a heartbreaking falsetto. Meanwhile, his backing band provides a comforting wash of gently strummed guitars, set against distant atmospherics and layered harmonies that echo through the ether. Here he sings "Skinny Love."

I just...this never gets old, the emotion of this song is always there. A huge hug for the broken hearts out there.

Who else here in 2020 loving these 10 year old videos

[@anthoni426]

Yep. I am just trying to listen to anything I can. It was on shuffle and ended up near the bottom of the list, so I am just working my way down and then back around...if that makes sense. I am trying to go through in on chronological line now so that I can figure out where I am in the playlist. I am always so surprised by all of the people I have already heard and then I find out they are/were on Tiny Desk.
