It goes to show that even the indie rock world- which is supposed to be about truth and independence from corporate mindfulness or something- is totally subject to the paraphernalia of celebrity. I just want to know that, no matter what the perception of me as a person is, I can live with who I actually am. But I find it funny that the stories are wrong. It's like a giant metaphor for high school- people think or say certain things, and those ideas get amplified via telephone and, all of a sudden, somebody's a dick or a racist. JV: Yeah, I began realizing that it wasn't important for me to concern myself with the perception of truth. Was there a point when you had to let go of the truth behind the creation of For Emma and say, "Fuck it"? For instance, when you were on "Jimmy Fallon" recently, he asked you if your dad's cabin was named Bon Iver. Pitchfork: Stories start with facts but, over the years, they can become distorted myths. Skinny love doesn't have a chance because it's not nourished. JV: I'm not afraid to talk about it, but how do you guarantee it's accurate? To say that "Skinny Love" is about Christy would not be entirely accurate. We dated and she's an incredibly important person that I lived with for a long time, but it's about that time in a relationship that I was going through you're in a relationship because you need help, but that's not necessarily why you should be in a relationship. It took you a while to mention people like Christy- and especially your ex Sara Emma Jensen- in public. Pitchfork: Christy once told me that she immediately knew "Skinny Love" was about her when you first sang it to her. I'd been working on so many songs that spring, but nothing really gathered itself until "Flume" came along. It was this new falsetto thing that I'd been working on but never landed. Thats all for now.Justin Vernon: When I made "Flume" one afternoon at Christy 's house, it immediately felt insane. “I’ll be holding all the tickets, you’ll be paying all the fines” It is the second most played song on my itunes. If you like this song you will absolutely LOVE Skinny Love by Bon Iver. If what is above is accurate I think this song is very very well crafted. So basically, I see that he fells like he’s got no home, he fell from his mother when he did not want to and he survives (rather than living and thriving) at best warily (“leery”). So basically, I see that he feels like he’s got no home, he fell from his mother when he did not want to and he survives (rather than living and thriving) at best warily (“leery”). Icarus fell into the sea, this could help explain the “i move in water, shore to shore” but i’m not sure how Bon Iver fell from his mother’s womb and left his mother, the moon, at home. Icarus fell from the sky and left his dad, Daedalus, in the air. He is playing an Icarus figure (Icarus who flew too close to the sun and his wings melted and he fell to his death). So, I have done some research into the topic and this is the best explanation I could find. The question remains what is this about? Let’s look at the lyrics. I’d suggest you find a studio version if you really enjoy this. This is a very raw version, but I tend to like live music better. How awesome is that? But what is it about? While Bon Iver’s is amazing, I really enjoy the piano and the horns that are involved in Peter Gabriel’s version. Peter Gabriel does a gorgeous cover of Bon Iver’s Flume.
