Bon Iver

In the winter of 2006, Justin Vernon, a 25-year-old struggling indie
musician, retreated to his dads remote log cabin in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to repair his broken heart.

While there he wrote nine songs, which became the album 'For Emma, Forever Ago'. This month it was voted the Observer Music Monthly's Album of the Year for 2008.

@BonIverSUCKS such trolling effort... by such a fag.

I feel we've all gone through that "pain" he talks about. But he may be one of the only people who's found an effective way to deal with it. As he says "dig it out to the oxygen so it can burn and leave". I feel like this album is his way of showing us how he made the pain leave......

just a thought
