Good Winter

For Emma... Forever Ago.  "It's about an ancient love"  Justin Vernon, the front man of Bon Iver described his first album, as such.  I'm not sure if it's his hypnotizing voice, or the sheer emotion he puts into his music- but the man has me sprung! I'm starting to worry that I may never listen to anything else. Upon further investigation of my current love (For Bon Iver... Right Now) This album came to creation as he sought solitude in his father's cabin in Wisconsin one winter (relative...) He was tucked away from society for three months only to emerge with this beautiful piece of work. Changing his stage name to Bon Iver (meaning good winter) Facing his demons and uncertanity of his life allowed him to "come out of the cabin" a new man, with a new name.
