  • Awesome performance from Skin! From the TV show The White Room (1996). Sorry about the quality - it was salvaged from an old VHS tape, which had been recorded on long play mode.
    This video has been online for many years now, gaining 1.5 million views. Skunk Anansie's record company has not claimed copyright or tried to monetize this video, and has allowed me to share it. Massive respect to them for that.
    However, don't be surprised if TH-cam forces me to remove this video at some point in the future. They've already tried once, and some of my other videos (like Runrig, Shamen, etc) had to be removed. I have never tried to monetize videos I don't own, but it doesn't seem to matter to TH-cam. They'd rather have the videos gone forever.

    This video has been online for 15 years now, gaining 1.5 million views. Skunk Anansie's record company and/or publisher have not claimed copyright or tried to monetize this video, meaning we can all watch it without annoying adverts. Massive respect to them for that.

    thank you thank you thank you for posting this video. she is so intense.. powerful and delicate at the same time.
    I'm glad Skunk Anansie reformed cause their music and Skin's voice put together reached just heights Skin on her own couldn't touch.
    Look forward to see them live in November!!

    This was my queer awakening. I loved Skunk Anansie, and I couldn’t articulate why at the time but it was because of Skin, she was queer like me but a fucking badass. A badass that I needed. I’ve since since then them live and it was the best experience of my life. Thank you to the band for all they have done ❤️

    Well, check up on the Skunk band members' public Myspace profiles and you'll see that they've all basically confirmed that they're getting back together. I reckon you'll be very pleased with that, eh?

    Weak as I am, no tears for you

    Weak as I am
    In this tainted soul
    In this weak young heart
    Am I too much for you?

  • @xjessabel

    she doesnt do the high notes in the last few sentences! only on falset.. that sucks.

    Ha! Forget the looks..( I myself am not bothered by no hair, am slightly bothered by her reported 'diminutive' stature') I have fantasised many a time about making love purely to the voice (hetro girl am I). Sublime.Wish there could be more.
    Thanks for the post.

    Wasn't this The White Room on Channel 4? This is the show that introduced me to Skunk Anansie with this very song, although I think it was a performance of the original version of Weak.
