Minnesota, WI Lyrics

Armour let it through,
borne the arboretic truth you kept posing
sat down in the suit,
fixed on up it wasn't you by finished closing

Ramble in the roots, had the marvel,
moved the proof be kneeled fine's glowing
storing up the clues,
it had its sullen blue bruised through by showing

Settle past a patience
where wishes and your will are spilling pictures
water's running through in the valley
where we grew to write this this scripture

Never gonna break
never gonna break
never gonna break
never gonna break
not for a part in any gamut of the dark

Doubled in the toes annex it,
it minute closed in the morning
did not lose it in the stack's stow,
imma lay that call back on ya

You know it won't beseech you,
we're laying in an open field
I will let you grow, no need to know this

So carry on my dear,
what is clear up in the daylight is we're hung here
fall is coming soon,
a new year for the moon and the Hmong here

Never gonna break
never gonna break
never gonna break
never gonna break
all that it seems
bellows tracing through the streams

Never gonna break
never gonna break
never gonna break
never gonna break
all at its seams
swallows swelling for the beams

Bon Iver is a Grammy Award winning indie folk band from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, United States, and one of Justin Vernon's current and most notable music projects to date. 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.
