Flume
Bon Iver Lyrics
I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish rouge
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

“Flume” has an eerily interiorized sound, which matches his unsettling similes. “Lump Sum” begins with a choir of Vernons echoing cavernously, which, along with that rhythmically rushing guitar, initiates the listener into the song’s strange space.
The stage name of electronic music producer Flume comes from the title of this song.

From an interview with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon with Pitchfork:
"'After growing up in a Neil Young/ Bob Dylan/ Indigo Girls/ John Prine/ subjective-songwriter kind of world, I finally realized I didn’t have what they had, or I couldn’t do it as well, or I wasn’t exploring deep enough.
The subconscious thing I figured out in “Flume” started giving me more meaning. When we play live, “Flume” is still the song I can get lost in the most. The images in that song are more mysterious, yet more visual to me… I attempted to build odd landscapes that you could exist in that had weird feelings but also cool-sounding words… I really wanted to go deep. When I made “Flume” one afternoon at Christy [Smith, Justin’s girlfriend at the time and a player on For Emma]’s house, it immediately felt insane. I’d never done anything like that. It was this new falsetto thing that I’d been working on but never landed. It felt really scrappy. I’d been working on so many songs that spring, but nothing really gathered itself until “Flume” came along.'"
In a tweet, Justin Vernon revealed it was his favorite song he ever wrote.

Listen to the song again and tell me how you feel.
Have you achieved that feeling you where searching for? Or is it still something you long for.
Do you still feel young in your brothers room, being hypnotized, wanting to leave everything behind; or did things finally get better?
I hope they did man. I'm stuck in a stressful situation now, I'm the one in college and I now understand the feeling you felt when listening to this song.
So I ask, did you give up? Or did you keep going, and if you kept going, did things get better?

[Verse 1]
I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
[Chorus 1]
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
[Verse 2]
I am my mother on the wall
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more
[Chorus 2]
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish rouge
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 1]
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
Llamamepapi
Aprendo a quererme
Aprende a quererte
Aprende a quererme
Yo
Ya aprendí a querer, no se lo hago bien
1 mes donde tus ojos se cerraban mas
Yo los intentaba abrir
Porfa, no me olvides
Quedate con mis besos,
Robalos si quieres,
Te los regalo pues.
No me gusta perder un tren
Donde crecen las flores mas bonitas
Mi corazón esta seco
Besalo
No me olvides. L

Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume

I am my mother on the wall
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

Calha
Eu sou o único de minha mãe
É o bastante
Eu visto minhas roupas para que seja visível
Agora você sabe
Só o amor é todo cor de sangue
Penas grudentas em uma calha
O céu é o ventre e ela a lua
Eu sou minha mãe na parede, com todos nós
Eu me movo pela água, de margem à margem
Nada mais
Só o amor é todo cor de sangue
Lagos envolventes feito patos prudentes
Deixando a corda queimar
Avermelhado ardente
Só o amor é todo cor de sangue
Penas grudentas em uma calha
O céu é o ventre e ela a lua

my dad introduced me to bon iver when I was 12. It was after he got out of prison and was on and off drugs that we started seeing him again. He had this shitty car with shitty speakers but we'd sing to this song so loudly you couldnt hear the awful quality. I remember it was always cold out when he played this album, and the street lights were always out. My dads gone now and I cant bear listening to this album without tearing up. I miss my old man
