▶️ Watch on 3Speak


Monday Studio Live!!!

Funny thing, I was supposed to post this song on Friday, but while uploading it on 3speak, I decided to export a better version with an even greater HD.

My Pc did not like it one bit; and exploded! Boom! Or at least that's how it felt, the Power Supply Unit just produced a booming sound, a spark, and switched off the lights!

The same day, we had our dear husky Jacky boy back from surgery, so I cannot be thinking that it was all meant to be, keep my PC universe, I'll keep my dog...

Anyway, I've repaired the PC, it was indeed the PSU, nothing else got affected and managed to replace it finding a repair guy on the weekend!
I had to, because there are lots of things happening on HIVE this week, don't miss out on the push-up challenge!

This song was requested by @leaky20, it's a song by Bon Iver called Skinny Love. A great song! Congratulation on winning 1 HIVE as your song is being picked!
If you too want your favourite song to be played by myself,

I did not change it too much from the original, there is a famour cover of this song by a girl called Birdy, I found it "meeeeh", and I would like to say, that of all the version, well...I like mine better hahaha. Take this Bon Iver!

The song for me, is like a murder mystery. You are getting clues on what happened, here, you can feel that something hominous happened, maybe a romantic crime of passion?

Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I will leave the entire lyrics at the end of the post. I wanted to learn the lyrics by heart before playing it live, so it took me a few days. I sometimes read lyrics while recording, but this time around I did not want to, I needed that real feeling.

I first decided to shoot outside around a fire, I brought all the equipment around the fire, pick my shot, set up the mic, the laptop, ready to go, and it started raining, typical!
So I set up under the barn, very cool set up, next to the pile of wood and an old starcase, but then harvesting machines started doing their roaring afternoon sounds, so I decided to just record in the kitchen, not exactly what I wanted, but this is what you get!!! Bon Iver normaly tunes his guitar 1/4 lower that the natural E , which is for me the most hipster thing I've seen in a very long time.

[Verse 1]
Come on, skinny love, just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My my my, my my my, my my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my, my my my, my my
Right in this moment, this order's tall
[Chorus]
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
And I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
[Verse 2]
Come on, skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
My my my, my my my, my my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
[Chorus]
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
And I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
[Verse 3]
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

Yeah it's that time of year. Especially up North where we are. Hiking is particularly challenging because it's always raining. You're in the south of France right? When you say mountains, are you referring to the Pyrenees?

Yeah bro The Pyrenees, I got a friend who has a spot and we've been trying to get there since the last 2 months but it's never the right time with the kids, working, etc...

Especially up North where we are

Where are you currently?

Nice, that's awesome. The Pyrenees would be cool. I've never been but want to do a hike at some point. I'm way up top, about 40 minutes north of Paris.
