what I adore about Bon Iver is I love EVERY one of his songs, its not like most artists I like where some songs are amazing, and others are okay. Every song by Bon Iver is flawless from beginning to end.
the lady is his brother's wife which he happened to kiss. they want to have an intimate relationship but she's married. this is the cause for his anguish & also for his admiration for her honor.
btw, the secret is how in love you are. the point it that it is it is difficult to admit how much you need the person when you fall. or continuing to admit how much you need them. some people run eventually......in fear. i wish we had more faith, but i guess it is hard to have blind faith. whatever. i'm just giving my own interpretation. don't hate! i love this song so much too. :)
welll i also think its about HIV , cause its like, theyre at a blood bank and she has a secret? then they kiss and now they both have a secret, so she like proably gave it to him or something.
If you ask me, he is in High School or College and has been infected with HIV. There is nothing like the exciting memories of finding love but he is torn by his honor in keeping this secret. I'm thinking she really likes him but he doesn't want to ruin her life and he will brutally dump her and she will remember him for the rest of her life!!!!!
This song reminds me of October time, becasue it was such a beautiful day in autumn all the leaves were such a nice colour. I got off a couple of stops early just to sit in my local park to sit and watch the leaves listening to this song and Baby's.
@AddictiveSingin i don't know the woman's secret, and i think when he says "that secret that we know" he's talking about how they shared a private kiss in the snow and now they're in love. i'm not sure though.
@lukkyduck The secret is the feeling u get when u just know something. Either good, like being in love, or bad like knowing thats your brothers blood.
@AddictiveSingin This song is talking about a pregnant woman and the shame she has to carry. "That secret that you know, but you don;t know how to tell. It fucks with your honor and it teases your head, but you know that it's good girl.." That would explain the reason to be at the blood bank, the secret they don't know how to tell, and the reason she is eating the candy bar haha.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

@sunnydayhumm or maybe finding love in the most random places, and in the beginning it's a non-mutual love, that grows into a mutual one?
