i just heard him play this live-in-studio on the radio today. AMAZING. he has ashow tonight near where i live, but i have finals tomorrow.

honestly. best discovery ever. his songs make me just want to lie in the grass and watch clouds.

this one seems like it might be about an unborn baby, as in "i wear my garment so it shows" and the refernces to womb. the whole feel of the song is that he's simulating being in the womb, surrounded by maroon and "lapping lakes" also "rope burns" could be the umbilical cord.

it's almost kind of gross but it's still SO SO beautiful!

i thank god for justin vernon.

I totally agree with the unborn child theory, especially because the water shore to shore bit would be amniotic fluid (ew, but also ewsome!)

wow, you're right. i've never thought of it that way :)
