Who will love you? Who will fight? Who will fall, far behind?

Monday, I went to a very low key concert in a more suburban area of London.  During the switch over for the bands, I heard Bon Iver's "Skinny Love"....  I immediately thought about Kristin.  When I got home, I frantically search google for the title and artist of the song (I only knew about ten words from the song, none of the other needed info....).  I had to know what this song was.  After about 45 minutes of quality "research", something that I think I'm starting to become fairly thorough at, I finally found the title.

This song reminds me of Kristin for very beautiful reasons.  The humbling and methodical tempo represents the very certain and commanding walk that she takes through life.  Kristin puts an erratic numbness on the piercing times in my life.  She is such a comforting and uplifting friend.  I actually think that she is distantly related to Ruth from the Bible... probly third or fourth cousins, somewhere a way's down the line.  Back to the song.  Lyrically, it brings to mind how young our relationship is.  The term "skinny love" (I'm not dropping the 'L' bomb, that is simply what the song says.... I would say, in deep like at this point) just reminds me of how young and adolescent our relationship is (or any relationship that I have for that fact).  All to often I catch myself reminiscing about the times that I have had in my life where I think that I am "becoming so mature and soooo much older"... what a load of rubbish.  I feel like I've had a relationship with some people forever, but it still so early in life.  Hearing the words "skinny love" reminds me of the life and the good times and the people that we all have yet to discover and explore!  

The chorus of the song is really special to me, because it reminds me of everything Kristin and I have talked about sooo many times.... sometimes til 4, 5.... maybe 6 in the morning.... bright and squirrelly.  I won't repeat what we talk about us, that is just for us thank you :)

Continuing, I also am comforted when I hear this tune... I think that comfort comes mainly from the "folky" nature of the song.  I'm always reminded of Alabama when I hear that type of music, and for those of you who know me best, you know that I love, I looooove Alabama.  But is also is comforting because it makes me think of my girlfriend.  Very simple song, but very deep under the surface.... just like Kristin.
