Every time I listen to Bon Iver's For Emma, Forever Ago, I discover something new, something hauntingly amazing. IMO, this is one of the most beautiful albums of the decade.
I love this lyric from "Re: Stacks" (obviously the full effect is with the music and the tone of Justin Vernon's voice):
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me

Bon Iver: Oh So That's What Everyone Is Talking About
I downloaded Bon Iver's "The Wolves" last year because it was featured in Grey's Anatomy.
I liked the song but didn't really think much more about the band until I read this column in the New Yorker.
Turns out Bon Iver is the creation of Wisconsin native Justin Vernon, who made the album while living in a hunting cabin for 3 months.
Sasha Frere-Jones, who wrote the New Yorker piece, praises Vernon's talents so much I felt compelled to download the whole album from eMusic.
It is hauntingly good.
