''“Someway, baby, it’s part of me, apart from me.”''
you’re laying waste to Halloween
you fucked it friend, it’s on it’s head, it struck the street
you’re in Milwaukee, off your feet
''…and at once I knew I was not magnificent
strayed above the highway aisle
(jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles''
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
was where we learned to celebrate
automatic bought the years you’d talk for me
that night you played me ʻLip Paradeʼ
not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
saying nothing, that’s enough for me
''…and at once I knew I was not magnificent
hulled far from the highway aisle
(jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles''
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
above my brother, I and tangled spines
we smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
now to know it in my memory:
''…and at once I knew I was not magnificent
high above the highway aisle
(jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles''

| deepwoodskev (In a town west of Chicago) | Posted: Aug 16, 2012 - 14:34 First time I've heard them and it will be the last. Miserable music. |

| haresfur (Bendigo Australia) | Posted: May 04, 2012 - 18:20 I don't understand a word. So it gets a 7 based on the title 'cus I'm a geologist. .  (pretend the computer is a rock) |
| gatorade (Peninsuland) | Posted: May 04, 2012 - 18:17 Check out the video from Coachella, "The Wolves". Would love to see this band anytime, anyplace. |
| ScottFromWyoming (Powell) | Posted: Apr 30, 2012 - 14:40 When I first heard this band I thought "these guys are good" and I still do really think they're good (they, him, whatever) but I just don't care. Nothing they've done grabs me at all. |
| mellyp (east bay, ca) | Posted: Apr 30, 2012 - 14:38 truly awful. so glad it's finally over. |
| jannet | Posted: Apr 30, 2012 - 14:36 can't stand the high pitch of the voices in this band - I rush to hit PSD as soon as any of their music comes on |

| Kokoloco53 (Southeastern Arizona) | Posted: Apr 09, 2012 - 17:40 Nice. This is going to be one of those tunes that'll probably grow in my psyche over time and I'll like it more. But it grabbed my attention right away. Weird vocals though twisting through some kind of a machine, or cardboard paper towel tube? |

Thanks for the recommendation. I was tepid on the Keys at first but they've really grown on me as I've become more acquainted with their back catalogue. Perhaps I'll feel the same way about this guy some day. |

You either like the style of "singing" or you don't, it's subjective but it isn't whining. Going on a song comment page and posting your uneducated opinion is. I don't think when people use the term "whining" they mean it as per the dictionary definition. (I'd be surprised if you actually thought that's what they meant?!) Besides, if we are allowed to describe all singing only as "singing" it becomes a bit difficult to express oneself... |

| aspicer (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Feb 28, 2012 - 16:21 Excellent tune! He has a vibe of a modern day Nick Drake...IMHO. |
| Tippster (Washington, DC) | Posted: Feb 28, 2012 - 16:21 Just here to point out that "they" is a "he." Bon Iver is one man - Justin Vernon. He has guys that play with him on tour, but the albums are all his, with guest performers. |
| tirednotion (Hi-Fi) | Posted: Feb 21, 2012 - 14:17 Lucky enough to catch them twice on this years tour and my appreciation reached new heights...tough to describe in words... intense, intimate, exhilarating, heart wrenching would be a few though. Catch 'em if you can. |
| Jamoo2003 | Posted: Feb 21, 2012 - 14:15 Terrible. Worst song I've heard since their other song. |

| rdo (DC) | Posted: Feb 21, 2012 - 14:14 They won best new artist grammy for 2012. I think the verdict is still out on them. I need to hear them a good deal more. How the heck did they pull that win off? Who's nephew is he? |

| 3enny_3lanco (Vancouver, B.C.) | Posted: Feb 08, 2012 - 16:00 Love the double drum set... and I agree, these guys sounded great on SNL. Makes me wanna see them live in an outdoor event, at dusk. |
| George_Tirebiter (Phoenix) | Posted: Feb 08, 2012 - 16:00 totally awful. droning, depressing, whiney. |
