Best Albums Ever: Bon Iver: "For Emma, Forever Ago" (2007) Indie Rock





Bon Iver: 

"For Emma, Forever Ago"

 (2007)


"For Emma, Forever Ago is the debut studio album by American indie folk band Bon Iver. It was first self-released in July 2007, and later saw wide release on the Jagjaguwar label in February 2008. The album is principally the work of singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. While living in Raleigh, North Carolina, Vernon fell ill with mononucleosis and a liver infection, and grew frustrated with his songwriting and life. He left Raleigh and drove to his father's remote hunting cabin an hour northwest of his hometown, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, hoping to be alone. The album was recorded at the cabin between late 2006 to early 2007. Vernon abandoned his old songwriting methods and instead focused on wordless melodies that he later set to words, which he felt evoked a more subconscious meaning. 




The record's lyrical subjects include lost love and mediocrity. His folk-infused songs include heavy choral arrangements, featuring Vernon's falsetto, and horns. He hunted his own food and spent much of his time isolated. Though he did not intend to make an album, he received strong encouragements from friends and decided to self-release For Emma, Forever Ago in July 2007. After several performances and online exposure, he was signed to Jagjaguwar later that year. For Emma, Forever Ago attracted wide acclaim from music critics, achieving a spot on dozens of end-of-the-year lists, as well as several awards. It became a major commercial success for Jagjaguwar, an independent label, and has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for combined sales, streaming and track-sales equivalent of over one million units. "Skinny Love" became the album's best-performing single and also went gold. Vernon gathered together several musicians to form a band to tour with. The album's touring cycle lasted two years, ending in late 2009, and visited several countries and music festivals worldwide. In 2020, it was ranked 461 on Rolling Stone's list of the greatest albums of all time...

Bon Iver: For Emma, Forever Ago Album Review | Pitchfork




"The biographical details behind the creation of an album shouldn't matter when it comes to a listener's enjoyment, but For Emma, Forever Ago, Justin Vernon's debut as Bon Iver, exudes such a strong sense of loneliness and remoteness that you might infer some tragedy behind it. So, to skirt the rumor mill, here are the particulars, as much or as little as they might apply: In 2005, Vernon's former band DeYarmond Edison moved from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to North Carolina. As the band developed and matured in its new home, the members' artistic interests diverged and eventually the group disbanded. While his bandmates formed Megafaun, Vernon-- who had worked with the Rosebuds and Ticonderoga-- returned to Wisconsin, where he sequestered himself in a remote cabin for four snowy months. During that time, he wrote and recorded most of the songs that would eventually become                                 For Emma, Forever Ago."

Kosta je stajao na tankoj crti, floroscentno plave boje... Osećao je da isijava sopstvenom unutrašnjom svetlošću i da ima razloga što stoji na crti, koju je između ostalog, da spomenemo, sam stvorio. Oko Koste i crte nema ničega. Kosta je u mraku i njemu je to bilo dovoljno. Taj mrak je bio njegov, on je zamislio takav mrak... Kosta je poželeo da se pored njega, u mraku, pojavi božanstvena, prelepa boginja-muza, koja će ga napojiti svojim inspirativnim darovima. Muza se pojavila i bila je slepa. Znao je da će biti slepa, to je i želeo. Stajala je kao kip, kao živi slepi mit. Uživao je. Napajao se „božanstvenom“ energijom svoje boginje. Disao je duboko i teško, osetio je da mu se disanje usporava i da srce počinje jako da mu udara. Uplašio se... Boginja je ostala nema i sjajno slepa. Njeno slepilo je isijavalo snažnu, belu, svetlost koju Kosta sada više nije mogao da podnese. Želeo je nazada u svoj mrak. Ništa više, samo nazad u  svoj mrak. Sve je nestalo... Ostao je mrak i florosce...

1. Хришћанска Вера, Аријанство, Први Васељенски Сабор - Симбол Вере    "... Шта је хришћанска вера? Хришћанска вера је Христово знање о најважнијим тајнама бића и живота, које знање људи могу примити само веровањем у Њега, а не својим сопственим напорима. Које су најважније тајне о бићу и животу о којима само Христос има право знање? То су: Тајна о невидљивим стварностима: о Богу, о анђелима, о људској души; Тајна о стварању света и његовом свршетку; Тајна о непрестаном Божјем вођењу човека и човечанства одређеном циљу, а по Његовој премудрости и сили; Тајна о човековом греху и паду и о његовом спасењу кроз богооваплоћење; Тајна о царству Божјем као крајњем циљу човековог земаљског живота и о правом путу који води томе циљу, тј. о понашању човека према себи, према ближњем и према Богу. Тајна о васкрсењу из мртвих, о последњем суду и о вечном животу. Нису ли и неки други верски учитељи, мислиоци и философи покушавали да објасне ове тајне? Јесу многи од њих. Али то су чинили сам...

  Outcome On Gunpoint Ishod Na Nišanu "Ode to Loyalty" Thought ... Like a razor, like a flash of light like a red diamond, like a dot. * A boat full of feelings is flying these days With a crust of heavy imagination Unreachable ideal In funeral gowns With empty hands - with no sense A little different from understanding anything On the horizon of a magnificent sight Under masks Under dry branches With the feeling of stuck rotten leaves on the soles With tears in his eyes and big pupils full of obedience and fear ... Then, it means a lot An ode to loyalty In trouble On a stone path Among the thorns On the edge... "Oda O Odanosti"   Misao, misao, misao... Kao oštrica brijača, kao udar svetla kao crveni dijamant, kao tačka. * Jurca ovih dana barka puna osećanja, Sa korom tvrde mašte, Nepostižnih ideala U odorama Praznih ruku - bez smisla Malo drugačije od poimanja bilo čega Na obzorju veličanstvenog prizora Pod maskama Ispod suvih grana Sa osećajem zalepljenog trulog l...
