While in high school and college Vernon founded the indie-rock bands Mount Vernon and DeYarmond Edison in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he still resides.
According to the For Emma Songfacts, after the break-up of De Yarmond Edison, Vernon retreated to his father's log cabin, out in the woods of north-east Wisconsin to hibernate for three snowy months. There he collected his thoughts and formulated them into a suite of songs, For Emma, Forever Ago . The album was originally self-released in late 2007 in a run of 500 copies and sold out instantly.
The album garnered critical acclaim, and was picked up by the indie-rock label Jagjaguwar, which gave the album a proper release on February 19th, 2008. The album was released in the UK and Europe by iconic indie 4AD on May 12, 2008.
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.
The group's second album Bon Iver, Bon Iver was released on June 17, 2011 to universal acclaim. It was named by Pitchfork Media as the best album of 2011 on their annual list. At the 2012 Grammys, the album won Best Alternative Album and the group was awarded Best New Artist, despite having debuted in 2007.

Bon Iver Lyrics
More love
More love
More love
All along 'em I can hear me
I go for the caste
I fall off a bass boat
And the concrete's very slow
And the concrete's very slow
All along the sideline's bigger
I'm over the dash
I'm having a bad, bad toke
But the berries still to come
All along 'em I can hear you
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying (I can hear)
I can hear cry (crying)
I can hear, I can hear (crying)
I can hear, I can hear crying
(I can hear, I can hear)
All along me I can hear you
I'd occupy that
Can't sit back long while you're forming that
Oh, my mind, our kids got bigger
But I'm climbing down the bastion now
You take me out to pasture now
Well, I won't be angry long
Well, I can't be angry long
We burnt up in my bed
Standing on the mattress, Laul
Laul, can't we just patch this up?
And I cannot seem to carry it all
All along we I can hear me
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying (I can hear)
I can hear cry (crying)
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying
I can hear crying
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying
I can hear cry
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying
All around me I can hear 'em
So what is gonna happen now?
If you don't look away
What's there to pontificate on now?
There's someone in my head
Tell them I'll be passing on
Tell them we're young mastodons
And it can't be that it's all
And it can't be that it's all
I'm telling you that I do feel you
It's suddenly paths, mama
It ain't about class, mama
And it won't be very long
Oh, it won't be very long
Hey-hey, hey-hey
Hey-hey, hey-hey
(I can hear)
I can hear (crying)
I can hear, I can hear (crying, crying)
I can hear
(I can hear crying)
(Crying, crying)

Convinced Bon Iver has somehow found a way to distill pure emotions into sounds. Thats not instruments you´re hearing. Its pain, love, sadness, warmth, energy and a dark void all extracted from the hearts of people

Ladies and gentleman we are reaching Radiohead fan levels of cringey, overwrought comment sections.
