americana
In music, Americana is a loose subset of American folk music, that is perhaps best defined as "classic American music"—ranging in style from roots-based bluegrass to alternative country, gospel, blues, zydeco, and other native forms. One of the main reasons Americana is used to describe such a wide variety of musical genres is because of the diverse range of cultural influences which is called American.

One of the main reasons Americana is used to describe such a wide variety of musical genres is because of the diverse range of cultural influences which is called American. For example, traditional Bluegrass instrumentation consists of the banjo which originated on the African continent, guitars from Europe, fiddling styles which have their roots in traditional Irish and other Gaelic fiddling techniques, and yodeling from alpine regions of Europe.
As an umbrella term, Americana is often linked to genres such as outlaw country, alt-country, and has also developed into newer musical forms, including the growing subgenre Gothic Americana. Today, the Americana Music Association compiles and publishes airplay charts of a number of radio stations that have adopted an Americana format. The magazine-turned-website No Depression continues to be a useful source for reviews and other information relating to the genre.

Lump Sum
Bon Iver Lyrics
Sold my cold knot
A heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
(Or so the story goes)
Color the era
Film it's historical
My mile could not
Pump the plumb
In my arbor 'till my ardor
Trumped every inner inertia
Lump sum
All at once
Rushing from the sub-pump
(Or so the story goes)
Balance we won't know
We will see when it gets warm

Sia is my Queen
[Verse 1]
Sold my cold knot
A heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
Or so the story goes
Color the era
Film it is historical
Ahh, ahh, ahh
[Verse 2]
My mile could not
Pump the plumb
In my arbor 'til my ardor trumped
Every inner inertia, lump sum
All at once
Rushing from the sub-pump
Or so the story goes
Balance we won't know
We will see when it gets warm
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Juanito
Sold my cold knot
A heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
(Or so the story goes)
Color the era
Film it's historical
My mile could not
Pump the plumb
In my arbor 'till my ardor
Trumped every inner inertia
Lump sum
All at once
Rushing from the sub-pump
(Or so the story goes)
Balance we won't know
We will see when it gets warm

my dad played this on rainy days in the car on the way to his house from my mom's. i can still feel his heaters hitting my face and hear how grainy his speakers were. love you dad, wherever you are.

@Catherine Day it doesn't take any effort or thought on my part, I was just born like this. I think it's something to do with being the offspring of 2 other humans, but I couldn't swear to it. Hope that helps😁
Catherine Day
@Old LeadFoot how are you even human
Old LeadFoot
@ronald reagan yes! You were a test tube baby, born without a father, you have never been in a car, especially one with a heater and you've never heard of Bon iver, so your story is totally implausible!
ronald reagan
@Old LeadFoot i made up driving in the car with my dad to bon iver / music? LOL
Old LeadFoot
The sentimentalist in me finds that touching but the cynic in me knows you made that up for likes☹️

this song doesnt help when you've just broken up with someone you love.
