'cause this song [Skinny Love] is: harmonious-paradise/soulful-oblivion/musical-madness/painfully-beautiful/and plain ol' perfection, I made a somewhat mediocre interpretation. 

(just a heads up: everything Justin Vernon does is perfect #DUH, and it's dear - hence "Dear, Skinny Love.")

some garageband.quality, a stolen.guitar, with late.night.harmonies.

Dear, Skinny Love.

[THIS] is one of my all-time favorite songs - it's originally by NineInchNails, but hay, I like the JohnnyCash version better-> 
it takes you to one of those dark places, you kinda don't want to get out of - because it feels so painfully (comfortably) familiar 
& every note feels so heavy, 
& the bass hits you hard every time.

this is a mediocre cover (while procrastinating from finals)

Ya'll should listen to the original version, it's pure//painful//decadent (musical)magic.

Lyrics: 
I hurt myself today 
To see if I still feel 
I focus on the pain 
The only thing that's real 
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting 
Try to kill it all away 
But I remember everything 

What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt 

I wear this crown of thorns 
Upon my liar's chair 
Full of broken thoughts 
I cannot repair 
Beneath the stains of time 
The feelings disappear 
You are someone else 
I am still right here 

What have I become 
My sweetest friend 
Everyone I know goes away 
In the end 
And you could have it all 
My empire of dirt 
I will let you down 
I will make you hurt 

If I could start again 
A million miles away 
I would keep myself 
I would find a way
