Thanks. The line "heaven burns" works well with which way he described "lust" as cooler in temperature and the way "autumn singes with...sadness." I believe this may be an affectionate nod to the months Justin Vernon lived secluded in that cabin, "down on his mind." Heaven, in effect, singes with the sadness brought along by the climate of autumn, and the bonfire of a deep Wisconsin winter. He enjoyed his time spent alone and these lyrics seem to be a document to that. Thank you for helping me to piece even more of this song together. |

Justin Vernon, aka Bon Iver, only has two releases: an album called "for emma, forever ago" and an EP from this January entitled "Blood Bank." There's an iTunes bonus track called "Wisconsin" and then he contributed lyrics to a song called "Big Red Machine" on the newest Red Hot compilation, "Dark Was the Night." This track, "Brackett, WI," is also on that record under Bon Iver, which is still just Justin Vernon; no backing band, just multi-track recording. He has a total of 16 songs releases under Bon Iver so far. That's it. Worth mentioning, over few others, are the Myspace Transmissions and Daytrotter Sessions recordings, which contain re-workings of the Bon Iver songs with the musicians and arrangements he uses when playing live shows. Also, the live videos on youtube and elsewhere can be very rewarding, especially the videos done for the French blog site "La Blogotheque." Other than a few covers, notably of Feist's "The Park" on an Australian radio webcast recently, that's the whole Bon Iver canon so far. I hope I helped whoever was looking for more Bon Iver, and let's all hope we see more of him on record soon! |

This is one of Leslie Feist's songs from her album, "the Reminder."
Even though Justin covered it, I don't think the lyrics should be under Bon Iver on this site. |

that's a much more fitting lyric at the end of the second verse!
although, i still hear him pronounce "one, not "love", i can definitely hear him pronounce that eff sound in the "enough".
thank you very much.
bon iver fans, please help me out on the second line of the chorus and the fourth verse! |
