Bon Iver - Speyside (17th February 2023)

[samspi]

In my freshman year of college, I took the foot bridge across the Chippewa River, looked down and saw "Mt. Vernon" spelled out in the rocks. I hadn't met any friends yet, so I decided to go see this band that I had never heard of. It was the first band I saw as a kid in college and I had no idea just how much his music would stay a part of my life. Beautiful song.

I hope he puts this out eventually. One of the most beautiful things he's ever written, and he's written only beautiful things.

[Verse 1]
I know now that I can't make good
But how I wish I could
Go back and put
Me where you stood
Nothing's really something now the whole thing's cooked

[Verse 2]
It serves to suffer, make a hole in my foot
And I hope you look
As I fill my book
What a waste of wood
Nothing's really happened like I thought it would

[Verse 3]
I can't rest on no dynasty
Then what is wrong with me?
And I'm so sorry
I got the best of me
I've really did been on such a violent spree

[Verse 4]
Well maybe you can still make a man from me
Here on Speyside Quay
With what's left of me
As you live and breath
Really now know what took hold of mе

Spectacular give me 14 listens in a row

Great heartfelt delivery by Lily as usual. I just don't understand audience members' compulsion to talk during such a beautiful tender performance.
