Bon Iver - re: Stacks

Artist: Bon Iver
Song: re: Stacks
Album: For Emma, Forever Ago

Lyrics

This my excavation and today is kumran

Everything that happens is from now on

This is pouring rain

This is paralyzed



I keep throwing it down two-hundred at a time

It's hard to find it when you knew it

When your money's gone

And you're drunk as hell



On your back with your racks as the stacks as your load

In the back and the racks and the stacks are your load

In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load



I've twisting to the sun I needed to replace

The fountain in the front yard is rusted out

All my love was down

In a frozen ground



There's a black crow sitting across from me; his wiry legs are crossed

And he's dangling my keys he even fakes a toss

Whatever could it be

That has brought me to this loss?



On your back with your racks as the stacks as your load

In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load

In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load



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

you guys do know Bon Iver isn't a person right?

[MerryMarling]

I bet Emma feels like a right tit.

@Billy2097 Wish i saw this comment earlier! I found out about them about a month ago, but have already seen them live! They're AWESOME :D So i'm just going to ask; you know some other bands as good as Dry The River (or nearly as good ;)) ?? I hate the idea i'm missing out on great bands.. thankyou (:

Try listening in 240p. I think it almost plays more to Bon Iver's style. I think somehow it feels more emotional.

[jezgirl92]

This song calms my soul

[milkykunn]

This is so inspirational.

@ruyboy

Congradulations, man! :P

Oddly enough, I've always pictured playing this song on my guitar near my child's crib while he sleeps when I become a father... :)

[ADonahue100]

His name is Justin Vernon

[ryan81923]

@allison148 Justin Vernon is, and when he recorded this album it was a solo act, so Bon Iver would've technically been a stage name, therefore technically making Bon Iver a person. But not he has band members so it's a band name

[ruyboy]

I'm going to be a dad soon, and I pictured myself getting my son to sleep listening to this song, with my wife and my dog in the living room, and all is perfect. Thanks Justin for this music, true music for the soul.

@allison148 you're right, they're a god :)

[Jeepyismylove]

I listened to this and wrote a poem. Thank you, Bon Iver.
