When released in the UK, For Emma, Forever Ago received 5/5 and "Album of the Month" reviews in both MOJO and Uncut magazines. It is currently the third highest rated album of 2008 on review-aggregator site Metacritic, with accolades from publications including The Village Voice, The Hartford Courant and The A.V. Club.

Bon Iver Lyrics
Shattered in history
Shattered in paint
Oh, and the lengths that I'd
Stay up late
But brought to my space
The wonderful things I've learned to waste
I shoulda known
That I shouldn't hide
To compromise and to covet
All what's inside
There is no design
You'll have to decide
If you'll come to know if I'm the faithful kind
Time and again
(Got all that I need)
It's time to be brave
Content to the phrases
That at dawn, we ain't mazes
Just some kind of pages
This for my sister
That for my maple
It's not going the road I'd known as a child of God
Nor to become stable
(So what if I lose? I'm satisfied)
Am I dependent in what I'm defending
And do we get to hold what faith provides?
Fold your hands into mine
Do I believe in
Seeing every time
I know it's lonely in the dark
And this year's a visitor
And we have to know that faith declines
I'm not out all the way

Hey guys. I love you all. None of my friends listen to Bon Iver. I feel alone. Here, I find people of my own. I feel the comfort.
Update:Thank you. Thanks to all of you. I didn't expect this much love. I thought no one would notice my comment as usual. I was wrong and Im thankful to God that I was proven wrong. I wish I could meet each and everyone of you and share hugs. I will always remember this song. The song that introduced me to hundreds of people from around the world. I wish each and everyone of you a happy life ahead. From now on, whenever I will feel alone, I will remember you guys. That Im not alone. I have people of my own everywhere. Thank you everyone. I love you guys, I swear.

Destino
Quebrado na histĂłria.
Quebrado em tinta.
Ah, e os comprimentos que eu ...
Fiquei acordado até tarde
Mas trouxe para o meu espaço
As coisas maravilhosas que aprendi a desperdiçar.
Eu deveria saber
Que eu nĂŁo deveria me esconder.
Compreender e cobiçar
Tudo o que tem dentro
NĂŁo hĂĄ design
VocĂȘ terĂĄ que decidir
Se vocĂȘ virĂĄ a conhecer o tipo 'fiel'.
Uma e outra vez (tenho tudo o que preciso).
Hora de ser corajoso.
ConteĂșdo para as frases,
"Que ao amanhecer nĂłs nĂŁo estejamos confusos,
apenas alguns tipos de pĂĄginas. "
Isso Ă© para minha irmĂŁ.
Esse Ă© para o meu bordo.
Eles ainda nĂŁo estĂŁo sabendo a estrada que eu conheci,
como filho de Deus.
Nem como ficar estĂĄvel.
(EntĂŁo, se eu perder, estou satisfeito.)
Eu sou dependente,
O que eu estou defendendo?
NĂłs conhecemos
O que a fé oferece?
Dobre suas mĂŁos nas minhas.
Eu fiz a minha crença -
Vendo todas as vezes.
Eu sei que Ă© solitĂĄrio
No escuro.
E o visitante deste ano.
E nĂłs temos que saber
Essa fé declina
Eu nĂŁo estou totalmente fora da minha.

Just when I thought I couldn't love them more or be more excited that I've got tickets for the show in Pittsburgh July 28th, they go and do this and prove me wrong.
I have faith they will not cancel that concert. I am brave, I'm fighting the fight one day at a time, and I have faith. Please, friends and strangers who share my love, spread it like a virus.
Be brave and have faith and we'll all get out of this mess together, the same way we got into it.
Justin Vernon gets it.
Our love and unity, those are our weapons in this "war."

Verse 1]
Shattered in history
Shattered in paint
Oh, and the lengths that I'd
Stay up late
But brought to my space
The wonderful things Iâve learned to waste
[Verse 2]
I shoulda known
That I shouldn't hide
To compromise and to covet
All what's inside
There is no design
Youâll have to decide
If you'll come to know if I'm the faithful kind
[Verse 3]
Time and again
(Got all that I need)
Time to be brave
Content to the phrases
That at dawn, we ain't mazes
Just some kind of pages
[Verse 4]
This for my sister
That for my maple
It's not knowing the road I'd known as a child of God
Nor to become stable
(So what if I lose? I'm satisfied)
[Bridge]
Am I dependent in what I'm defending
And do we get to know what faith provides?
Fold your hands into mine
I did my believing
Seeing every time
[Outro]
I know itâs lonely in the dark
And this yearâs a visitor
And we have to know that faith declines
I'm not all out of mine
Jesus Christ
Faith is a true hymn for the ages, praise be!

This isnât a worship song for the Christian God. This is about faith, not superstitious blood magic.
Bon Iver fundamentally atheist though this song speaks to the universal concept of faith which isnât exclusive to Christianity, itâs a human virtue, not a wizard beckoning.
