Oh, Good God.

Bon Iver released their first single, Calgary, from their new self-titled album to be released on June 21st. As the song started playing I literally said out loud "Oh man. This is so good." and then I instantly got shivers. This guy can do no wrong by me, he is genius, he is good, he is love. I want him to direct the soundtrack of my life.



I get it. I'm gushing but there is even something to be said for the lyrics, just take them in, they are poetry that could stand on their own.

"Calgary"

Don't you cherish me to sleep

Never keep your eyelids clipped

Hold me for the pops and clicks

I was only for the father's crib

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 itʼs 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

Wake up to your starboard bride

Who goes in and then stays inside

Oh the demons come, they can subside
