The band also consists of Mike Noyce, Sean Carey and Matt MacCaughan.

The name 'Bon Iver' (pronounced "bon ee-VAIR") is a play on the French phrase 'bon hiver' meaning 'good winter'. Vernon independently released Bon Iver's debut album For Emma, Forever Ago in 2007, most of which was recorded during a four-month stay in a remote cabin in Wisconsin.

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.

Skinny Love
Bon Iver Lyrics


Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And in the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
And I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love, what happened here?
Suckle on the hope in light brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
And then who the hell was I?
And I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

Amor Frágil

Vamos amor frágil, apenas dure este ano
Coloque um pouco de sal por que nunca estivemos aqui
Meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu...
Encarando a fossa de sangue e o compensado esmagado
Eu digo ao meu amor para deixar tudo ruir
Corte todas as cordas e deixe-me cair
Meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu...
Bem nesse momento essa decisão é difícil

E eu te disse para ser paciente
E eu te disse pra ficar bem
E eu te disse para ser ponderada
E eu te disse para ser gentil
De manhã eu estarei com você
Mas será de um jeito diferente
E eu estarei segurando todos os bilhetes
E você estará assumindo todas as punições

Vamos, amor frágil, o quê aconteceu aqui?
Se amamente de esperança em suaves sutiãs
Meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu, meu...
A carga intratável está cheia; então diminua a rachadura

E eu te disse para ser paciente
E eu te disse pra ficar bem
E eu te disse para ser ponderada
E eu te disse para ser gentil
E agora todo seu amor foi desperdiçado?
E então quem diabos fui eu?

E agora eu estou me despedaçando
E ao final de todas as suas linhas
Quem amará você?
Quem lutará?
Quem cairá para trás?

Birdy’s cover has that sound and vibe that is like you and your ex have been broken up for a long period of time. You’ve both had time to grow and move on from each other. You’re finding forgiveness within yourself and the relationship.

But Bon Iver’s original...man, this is what it sounds like immediately after the breakup. You’re angry. You’re sad. You’re accusing. You wanted it to work, but it ended ugly. You want to know what, why, and how. You’re trying to forget them, but the memories won’t leave.

The original has this emotion that no cover can ever capture. The original is truly what Justin Vernon was feeling in the time of a breakup. It’s a sound when songwriting that nobody can replicate unless they’re truly feeling it in that exact moment. That’s what makes this version truly beautiful.

Fan of Birdy songs and music

@ThaLights she's actually a good artist so please don't hate her
