For All Your Lies You're Still Very Loveable

I love Bon Iver so hard. His songs are so beautiful. I came across this a capella video of "For Emma" -- I guess it was spontaneously sung in a Paris hallway right before a show. I can't stop watching it. The best is at 1:35 when the guy comes in w/ "go find another lover"...



Bon Iver means "good winter" from the French "bon hiver." I read that he spent 3 months in solitude during the winter in a cabin in Wisconsin, not planning to make music or write an album or anything, but left with For Emma, Forever Ago , which is just so... lovely.

Here's another good one, Skinny Love: (no video)
