- 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.
Absolute respect ❤️.... Luv this version/ video
this version always makes me tear up. Its so soulful and you feel the words
Skin has an amazing voice and her songs are from the heart. X
Have not been listening to Skunk for to many years now,time to start again.Deborah's voice is awesome.
i love this band
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!!
1:15 - “if I opened my heart there’d be NOOOOOOO space for air ...”
As we say in South Africa - “I’m FINISHED!!!!”
probably the best live version of any tune I've ever heard!
definitely
She is soooo cool and so awsomely beautiful!! I mean what's not to love?
What a song!
amazing song... amazing lady.... amazing band.... amazing voice!!! :) love it!
sublime
she's got amazing voice!! and she's soo good live! :)
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravissima!
2020, wow love this song, still gives me goosebumps... musical poetry
Skin is great singer *amazed*
Her voice range is amazing!
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 ❤️
I love this ❤️❤️❤️
Awesome vocalist. Strength power soul and still feminine. Love love love her!
what a great version. Even without the drums their is still intensity and energy. My favourite song of theirs
That bassline is mindblowingly good, added with the vocals this song is pure goosebumps
18 years on and this song still gives me shivers every time... LOVE Skunk Snansie, LOVE Skin, can't WAIT for the new album!
What a powerful song and extremely powerful performance, both the singing and the guitars that makes company to such a beatiful voice of this very sexy woman !!
Captivating :D
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?
I love her.
that voice
Dat voice! o_O
Oh wow whilst I love the original I do think this works as an acoustic ballad too
perfect. simply perfect.
Weak as I am, no tears for you
Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool
Weak as I am
In this tainted soul
In this weak young heart
Am I too much for you?
Awesome, she has such a distinctive voice! I practise this song with my band, but heell no I can't reach those high notes you hear at the end of the song of the studio version haha
what a tune
Skin didn't disappear, she released 2 albums and now is in the process of reforming Skunk Anansie :0)
I feel this so hard.
Who from 2019 ?
I saw them live last year and this year. I was very close and watching this video I can tell Skin hasn't aged one day in 15 years. I have to ask her the devil's phone number.
What a voice!! And that bassline & BV is perfect!
Does anyone have a slower version, ideally 0.75 playback speed but crisper instrumental. I would adore it!
Einfach nur cool!
Definately one of the best bands of the 90's - was sorry they ever split
You can't break my heart once I put this song on. LOL
How the hell can anyone dislike this. Its totally awsome. Skins vocals are top class, better than all this sellout shit thats been around and continues to be around preying on young teenagers pockets
A pleasure for my ears and my heart...again and again and again...
Wow can she sing, thats quality. I think the bass is a little too busy on this version, but its still damn good. I'll say it again, can she sing. Thanks for adding this vid.
she doesnt do the high notes in the last few sentences! only on falset.. that sucks.
mic is a little too loud. but she is such a great singer!
absolutely love this song even more so acoustically
skin has the most awesome voice ever
just come on I mean wtf
dude fuck is that guys problem 0:02
its almost as if he was trying to make some kind of "bitch please" gesture
I wish I had her voice. Been hooked since I first heard it many moons ago.
It's good, don't get me wrong, but apart from the end the "acoustic" vocal is no different
Gary Nicholls Boooooooo
Well, actually it is ! She uses a falsetto in parts, which shows off her vocal range.
@sian kat - Jog on.. Mark from Mark and Lard is D-Head??? hahahahaha.. One knows not of talent but probably the ways of x-factor.
+ThePC GamersCommunity thats mark radcliffe yes!
+Molly Lynch It is indeedy :)
he lives three doors down from me
That is cool. :)
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.
love it
That was freaking awesome. Why do all the good bands break up. Ace performers and ace albums yet the disband? And we are left with crap like the Jonas Brothers and Fall Out Boy? Does music exsist anymore!?
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.
@CodyCrucial It is possible actually,and this happens when you hate yourself so much that you are not able to appreciate even a masterpiece like this.So sad,really...
there are no words on earth to describe her voice
Im not a religious man, but it's things like this that make me think maybe there is a God. This sort of talent is a gift from somewhere.
Oh, The White Room... That's where I first heard of Skunk Anansie with this very song!!! But they did the single version when I saw it.
@SupernalOne
In a civilized world we look to all the great artists to show us passion. Black, white, whatever, just saying mate ;)
@Xs2FunNet Did anyone answer your question? HA HA!! I am curious too...
She is just amazing. How can anyone do that live?
Wow what a voice !!
@AngezogenerMull I dont know , but it is funny ! I think it was on purpose , the lady didnot expect it . . .;)
in reply to msharp130 sorry and all that but mark radcliffe is from manchester he's about as yorkshire as pizza
a tv programme called The White Room. Cracking show and sadly decommissioned by Channel4 about 5 years ago.
Love this!!!!!!
She's much better than all these singers you've mentioned....expecially than Mariah and Celine Dion;-)
yeah,i agree,she looks like a hardass but she is very soft and so,so special...a beautiful angel
I'm kind of racist but skin is alright.
@ejdl89 hahha, fack is a southern (london) english 'slang', that guy has a northern accent.
yeah i'd take skin anyway over mariah. skin has so much more emotion and soul in her voice.
ezumach why do you even mention miley cyrus??
thank god they have reformed it aws such a loss to music skins voice is simply stunning
Man, amazing vocals! Except what the kludge is that backing vocal in the chorus?
amazing song! ive done a cover of this and would appreciate any comments (bad or good) on my video, cheers (: x
that yorkshire man at the start of this video just makes me piss myself.
Bloody amazing! But as a kid she used to scare the shit out of me haha.
Love this song!
A godess among us
@monkeyboy6676 haha did not know that, I just like to pronounce it so
she CAN STAY AMONG CELINE, WHITNEY, MARIAH CAREY AND LEONA LEWIS !!!
Very powerful! Love it!
why he's touching that lady's head.. I would punch him for that.
Love her voice
@Waynos73 It works, but its wrong. Em, D, C is what you want
is so fuckin' god....he has a amazin' voice....she's the BEST
Without backing vocal can be awesome
what a song dude should just leave the backing vocal though?
Listen to the intro guy.. You cant get anymore Yorkshire lol
Baraka !MORTAL KOMBAT ! it has begun!!!
Love this song, she sings so melodiously and with such feeling. Her band does her proud, without a good band hard to show your wonderful talent, she is blessed. : -)
@carswaps Skin is currently singing for a band called Skunk Anansie on tour for their current album Wonderlustre. ; )
wtf was he doing to that woman at the beginning? XDDDDDD
waaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuw
@furunowf yeah but you would though wouldn't you? ;)
Wow her live voice is almost identical to her recording voice- great indication of constancy
That girl can SING!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Love this song - even made my own recording of it :-) Check it out :-)
@furunowf agreed, I'm a gay guy - but soooooo sexy!
Dude, If you dislike this you are just.... INSANE.
