Skunk Anansie - Weak 

I was like 8 years old - me and my mom and brother just left this homeless shelter and she got an apartment, so the shelter gave us a box of donations. In it, there were a bunch of CD's and this album was in there. I was so intrigued, as a kid it was creepy, enticing and new. Small difference, but made a difference in my life. Music has always been healing for me. Now as an adult, I can go back and listed with a new understanding and appreciation.

I am 38 years old but listening to this song makes me a teenager again :)

i am 15 years old and, no joke, i heard this song from my spotify suggestions and.......wow!!! i had no idea it was released so long ago. i thought it was NEW!!! this is such an amazing tune and an incredible artist!!!

this is what this generation is lacking. raw voices from the heart! Instant tears

I met Skin at EndFest in Cleveland in 1996... as a nerdy 15yr old this band's kindness really made an impression on me. They all signed my poster and took me backstage to meet the other bands performing at the festival. I'll never forget that. Thank you Skunk Anansie, you guys rock!! Still got my poster too!

“No tears for you” and “I’m no one fool” are deep af

they were so ahead of their time. one of the best female vocals too, so unique and powerful

Amazing woman, amazing voice this was 90s at its finest💯👌🏻❤️

one of the best bands Britain has ever produced!!! they deserve way more success than they've had

This is one of those songs from the early 90s that just hasn't aged, the vocals are a tour de force and backed up by a really tight rock band who defy any categorisation. It's an epic song and an epic performance, I loved it 20 years ago and I love it even more now.

I just heard this on radio x in the UK (a rock station) talk about a trail blazer. A black woman making rock music in the 90s that we are still rocking now.... I'm glad I lived through this ❤

Skin's Epic voice still gives me goosebumps 😍❤️ the Christmas day of 2023

I LOVE her voice!!!

I once interviewed her. She's every atom an incredible artist.

My daughter who is in her early 30`s and her friends "discovered" this band last year on the net, I then told her this is not something new and that we " the oldies- her parents" went to a gig in Cambridge to see Skunkanensie and backing band Muse, what a fantastic night, and over 20 years later still good to hear.

Lost in time I can't count the words I said when I thought they went unheard All of those harsh thoughts so unkind 'Cause I wanted you And now I sit here I'm all alone So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home A circle of angels, deep in war 'Cause I wanted you Weak as I am, no tears for you Weak as I am, no tears for you Deep as I am, I'm no ones fool Weak as I am So what am I now I'm love last home I'm all of the soft words I once owned If I opened my he heart, there'd be no space for air 'Cause I wanted you Weak as I am, no tears for you 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? In this tainted soul In this weak young heart Am I too much for you? In this tainted soul In this weak young heart Am I too much for you? Weak as I am Weak as I am Weak as I am Weak as I am, am, am Weak as I am Am I too much for you? Weak as I am Am I too much for you? Weak as I am Am I too much for you? Weak as I am, yeah!

Damn, this song is still SO good.

Nothing beats 90s alternative rock. Skunk Anansie, Smashing Pumpkins, Placebo, Garbage, The Cranberries, The Cardigans, Veruca Salt, Alanis Morissette.👍🤘

Had the privilege of seeing Skunk Anansie at Glastonbury in 1995 when they appeared on the NME stage. Skin blew the crowd away and they hadn’t even released their debut yet. One of the hilights of the day

This is one of the best songs ive heard in my life

I remember when I was about 10 and I first heard this song whilst trying to fall asleep in the back seat of a car. It was night and me and my family where driving home, and I asked my mother to turn up the sound. I listened and I felt like this was such a pretty song, even though I couldn't really understand the lyrics cause I didn't know English back then. I heard it again (In the same car) when I was 12 and asked my mother who it was and wrote it down. I listened to this song a lot when I was drawing or felt like I couldn't explain myself to people. Now it's almost 8 years later from when i first heard it and I had trouble reminding the name of the song or the singer but I could clearly remember the videoclip. After a week of thinking about it it finally came to me. Skunk Anansie, Weak. And as I'm listening to it I'm thinking about long car rides of me falling asleep, i'm thinking about how I now understand the lyrics, and how awesome this song is.

The 1990's was the best decade. Ever. Weak, with the voice like a tank.

2022. and still fantastic

They are so underrated. Epic song!

one of the best 90's tracks/bands.

Skin always was/is one of my role models. Ever since I discovered the band on MTV, when I was around 12 years old 💜

My mum listened to this while she was pregnant with me now she wonders why I am a devote Rock/Metal fan

This album is one of 90s treasures.

Bring back the 90s absolute classic.❤️💯🇬🇧🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Im 43y, a teenager in the 90s. Where are the good Bands today (in da Radio)?

Nearly 40 now and this song is one that I still return too, up loud, and miss the days of decent tunes

I was 15 when this song came out and I loved it instantly. Now, almost 25 years later I still love it.

Suddenly felt a need to hear this again and its released a knot in my stomach. Funny how you just know what you need to hear when isn't it?

Très fort. Wow, comme dans le bon vieux temps.

Nobody's voice beats Skin's. Respect

First song I heard by this band... damn. Seriously damn... its awesome.

God bless the 90's

This got me through a break up in 95 and now again in 23. Needed.

Listening to this during corona virus lockdown stay in stay safe everybody

What a voice, she makes it seem to effortless.

Describes all my emotions in one song. Epic!

I love reading the comments on RU-vid videos about music, especially the older ones, because pretty much every song in existence will always have someone to share an experience they associate with it.

Still sounds as fresh as it did when I was 15. Haunting vocals, takes me back.

Love this classic ❤❤❤

dat voice and passion

This song is just timeless!! ❤️ It will always be as brilliant as the very I first heard it - "a life time" ago now...! Skin is one of the most talented and genuine singers in the world in my opinion, and I'm fascinated not only her voice is still as powerful - she still looks and sounds the same as back then...! #FOREVERYOUNG 😍🙏❤️🇸🇪

I forgot about this song. I just poped in my head today.

I'm an old fogey in my sixties first time I ve heard this, great band

Wow, this is just one of my classics. Born in 83 , listening as a teenager and listening now:)

just separated from my husband and this song is so relevant. exactly how I feel, always loved this song and knew it would get me through some dark times.

Tried to find this the whole day, what a great song.

Such a cool band! All very talented with an original sound. They're expressive with great stage presence plus Skin's vocals are freakin awesome! That lady can belt out a tune and is also not afraid to sound vulnerable and emotional. A truly unique band who were not afraid to be themselves 😊💜

HOLY FUCK SHE IS SO BADASS

This song blows my mind. Every time!

Now there's a voice!!!

the 90s was so on point for music

Fantastic Vocals. greatly talented musician.

Met Skin during my time working at Glasgow Airport....nine years, and the only time I was star-struck. Beautiful, talented and approachable - a rare mix in the music business

Any 90's kids here?

it doesn't matter when you find it. just that you do find it. Good music gives me goosebumps

Wow I've only just found this band....brilliant. That lead singer is something else...love them💖💖

Picture this ... Glastonbury Festival walking down the hill from The Eavis Farm towards the main stage sun setting and here this voice....Blew me away and to date I never heard another female singer on her level ...Class Act

this 90's rocks, better then nowadays

Absolutely one of the most underrated bands of all time... Skin's vocals are amazing

Awesome, the pocket black dynamo, i had the pleasure in seeing twice...pure wonderful power..ah them were the days!

Met Skin a few times at work, totally amazing woman/artist.

MUSIC IS A FORM Of PRAYING 🇮🇪

I KNOW IT WAS THE 90s BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN YESTERDAY ❤️ I LOVE THAT POWERFUL VOICE ❤️

Can't get more 90's than this song ♡

Incredible powerful song perfect for 2024 ❤

I hear this song for the first time in 2023. What a great voice.

Remember buying the album CD when it first come out…the 90’s were an epic decade and now I’m 54 this still gets played and I get fantastic memories with a few regrets too.

What a band and what a voice on Skin, another band before their time...

The 90's..... When i was happy. Best time ever! 💯 Nostalgic

90s had some amazing bands

Wow why am i just knowing about this song? This is a wonderful song and i love it. The lead singer have some PIPES!!

What a voice, Skin! It's the most unique sound ever and it gives the words so much power!

Skin will forever be the coolest person to grace this world!

Yay! I like to see someone who looks like myself with such a phenomenal voice. Representation matters!!!

Love the goose bump feeling you get when listening to tracks, this is one of those special tracks high up there.

rediscovering stuff like this is a good feeling! can't stop playing :)

oh oh oh my bleeding heart. This remains so amazing. Been such a fan for decades 🇿🇦

I heard this song for the first time today on the radio and my question is : how could I possibly have missed this song before? Freaking awesome

Brings back great memories of my teenage years! Her voice is so raw, unique and powerful yet also soft and angelic x

See Ya in Kragujevac on Arsenal Fest!

what a solid rock anthem and masterpiece in simplicity.

I go to a special place when I listen to music like this. I'm so grateful.

It was awesome to see them live yesterday. First concert in 2 years, Skunk Anansie was a great one to start going to concerts again.

Stunning song, and of course the stunning skin. Amazing band 💙

Goosebumps after all these years

Simple video is bringing pure energy with this beautiful song! Sooooo good!
