Now, it must be acknowledged that Bon Iver lyrics often read as gibberish on the page. And I was actually able to pull out more meaningful stuff, personally speaking, because of that.” I would get lyric ideas from the sound of the voice.
I would create a space for the vocals, then transcribe vocal sounds and listen to what it sounded like. As Vernon explained to me in 2008, “With these songs, I was creating sounds first. And those sounds as well as the feelings they evoked took precedence over literal-minded lyrics. Instead of utilizing a manly growl, Vernon sang pained, free-associative wails from his upper register. Before that record, a bearded, guitar-slinging dude from the upper midwest was expected to adhere to conventions laid down by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and John Prine, in which plainspoken, narrative-driven lyrics are relayed with a solidly masculine twang. Justin Vernon is one of the most influential indie singer-songwriters of the last 15 years, and that distinction goes back to his 2007 debut, For Emma, Forever Ago. After all we’re in Milwaukee, so off your feet as we dive deep into this band’s career! Nevertheless, I am prepared to list my top 25 Bon Iver songs. Many of these tracks I prefer in the context of their albums. This makes counting down my favorite Bon Iver songs a little tricky. Nearly everything the band has put out feels essential. While Bon Iver’s catalogue is relatively small - including four studio albums and one 1 EP in the past 14 years - Vernon has made each release count. But in the past decade, he’s proven to be one of the least predictable and most adventurous artists of his generation, putting out albums that initially confound listeners before eventually shifting their tastes in decisive ways. Bon Iver was the LP that solidified their status after the sleeper success of 2007’s For Emma, Forever Ago, eventually garnering the band the Best New Artist Grammy.Īt the time many might have suspected that the head of Bon Iver, Justin Vernon, had peaked at that very moment. I won’t.Next week is the 10th anniversary of Bon Iver, the second album by the Wisconsin-based band who remains one of the most popular and artistically significant indie acts of the early 21st century. And again, this is just my experience where I’m at, even though, despite what I may be going through, there’s going to be a moment where this bad moment, I won’t even be around to even discuss it. Don’t let it get confused that five minutes later, we’re going to try to go into doing something different. And again, it’s not like life is pleasurable every single day, but I think I have actively just sought out… How do I create a space for myself? How do I redirect my mind on how I’m thinking about things? How do I realize that right now in this present moment, moments that we’ll never get back, this is where you need to find your pleasure? This is your moment.
The Age of Pleasure is that… Listen, I’ve had my age of depression. “I’m super excited about with The Age of Pleasure. The Electric Lady performer continued to elaborate: Theo Wargo/Getty Images for Karl Lagerfeld Janelle Monáe attends The 2023 Met Gala Celebrating “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line Of Beauty” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on in New York City. I have lipstick all over my face.” And I’ve also been the ‘Lipstick Lover’ where…You know exactly who I kissed.” Or I’ll get home and I’m like, “Oh my God. And then I’ve also been on the receiving end of a human… who’s so attractive…. But when the lights come on, whoever I’ve made out with, lipstick all over their face. And there have been so many instances where I’ve made out with somebody at a party and it’s dark. “Because if you know me… Today, I don’t have on any red lipstick, but I’m always in red lipstick. I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I write this song years ago?'” explained the 37-year-old to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, where they premiered the single. The visual highlights the beauty of queer love and community through sexy displays of physical touch and affection, colorful dancing, and shared cigars. Released on Thursday (May 11), the Reggae-infused track comes with an NSFW official motion picture, co-directed by the 37-year-old and Alan Ferguson. Janelle Monáe is sensual and sure in her newest video “Lipstick Lover.”
