Lied van de week : week 37 - 2011

Holocene - Bon Iver

Over het nieuwe album van Bon Iver, Bon Iver, Bon Iver, post ik zeker nog later, dus hier ga ik het kort houden : de man is erin geslaagd alweer een pracht van een album neer te pennen en in te blikken, en deze tweede single daaruit verdient niet minder dan dagelijks meerdere draaibeurten (ze mogen het van mij elk uur draaien!).

Je kan het album hier kopen.

Lyrics :

“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 'Lip Parade'
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
