As she lays in my arms now withering away from kidney disease, I can still feel her body trembling wanting to get the howl out one last time, but she hasn’t the energy anymore. It’s just the most beautiful sad thing I have ever experienced in my life and it kills me.

I listen to a great deal of other music too, but Bon Iver manages to make me feel a little bit better than any other music can (except for Mree who also has that same effect on me).

    Don't you cherish me to sleep
    Never keep your eyelids clipped
    Hold me for the pops and clicks

    Hair, old, long along
    Your neck onto your shoulder blades
    Always keep that message taped
    Cross your breasts you won't erase
    I was only for your very space
    Hip, under nothing
    Propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun
    Just have to keep a dialogue
    Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
    I was only trying to spell a loss
    Joy, it's all founded
    Pincher with the skin inside
    You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
    You know that all the rope's untied
    I was only for to die beside
    So it"s storming on the lake
    Little waves our bodies break
    There's a fire going out
    But there's really nothing to the south
    Swollen orange and light let through
    Your one piece swimmer stuck to you
    Sold, I'm Ever
    Open ears and open eyes

    The only justification I have is that music like this is an extension of the soul... and thats why we feel things we don't understand... because this is Justin's soul reaching out and placing a hand on our shoulder, giving us a glimpse from a perspective unfamiliar.
    There are forces we don't understand out there, and potentially some we never will. This magic that happens is a force that extends beyond human comprehension.

    I was only for to die beside
    So it's storming on the lake
    Little waves our bodies break
    There's a fire going out
    But there's really nothing to the south
    Swollen orange and light let through
    Your one-piece swimmer stuck to you
    Sold, I'm ever
    Open ears and open eyes
    Oh
    Wake up to your starboard bride
    Who goes in and then stays inside
    Oh, the demons come, they can subside

    Justin/Bon Iver always has the power to make me feel all alone in the world, but also like there is something big waiting out there for me. Like the sweetest kind of solitude and melancholy combined, and I keep coming back for more. Few other artists can do that. He is a treasure for sure.
