Bon Iver ( /boʊn iːˈvɛər/ Bone ee-VEHR) is an American folk band founded in 2007 by indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon. In addition to Vernon the band includes Michael Noyce, Sean Carey and Matthew McCaughan. Vernon released Bon Iver's debut album, For Emma, Forever Ago independently in July 2007. The majority of that album was recorded while Vernon spent three months in a remote cabin in northwestern Wisconsin. Bon Iver won the 2012 Grammy Award for Best New Artist and Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album for their self-titled album. The name Bon Iver is derived from the French phrase bon hiver (French pronunciation: [bɔn‿ivɛːʁ]), meaning "good winter" or "have a good winter".
Justin Vernon is joined live by Sean Carey (drums, vocals, piano), Michael Noyce (vocals, baritone guitar, guitar) and Matthew McCaughan (bass, drums, vocals). Noyce was Vernon's guitar student during high school.
Carey approached Vernon during one of the first Bon Iver shows, telling him he could play and sing all the songs. Thereafter, the two played a number of them together. McCaughan and Vernon met while on tour with indie-rock band The Rosebuds in May 2007.

Iver is in the south-east corner of the English county of Buckinghamshire and it forms one of the largest civil parishes in the South Bucks district.
Iver railway station is in Richings Park.
The village name Iver is Anglo Saxon in origin and means (place by) the brow of the hill.
The parish of Iver covers about eight square miles (21 km²) and it includes the villages of Iver Heath and Iver. To their south is Richings Park. The centre of London is about twenty miles (30 km) away. The parish flanks the Greater London border in the vicinity of Uxbridge for several miles, and it is to the east of the town of Slough. Iver Heath, Iver and Richings Park straddle the M25 motorway which is intersected to the north above Iver Heath by the M40, and to the south beneath Richings Park, by the M4.
In the Domesday Book of 1086 the whole area was recorded as Evreham or homestead by the brow of a hill and it was in the possession of a man called Robert Doiley.

Iʼm tearing up, across your face
Move dust through the light
To find your name
It's only faint
This is not a place
Not yet awake, I'm raised to make
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
Still alive for you, love
In a matter of a month
From forests, for the soft
Gotta know been lead aloft
So rid of all your stories
What I know, what it is, is boring – wire it up!
Climb
Is all we know
When thaw
Is not below us
No can't grow up
In that iron ground
Claire all too sore for sound
Is hardly shown
Scraped
Across the foam
Like they stole it
And oh how they hold it
Claire we nearly forfeit
I I'm growing like the quickening hues
I I'm telling darkness from lines on you
Over havens fora full and swollen morass young habitat!
All been living alone where the ice snap and the hold clast are known
Home
Were savage high
Come
We finally cry
Oh and we don it
Because it's right
Claire I was too sore for sight
I were sewing up through the latchet greens
I un-peel keenness honey bean for bean
Same white pillar tone as with the bone street sand is thrown where she
Stashed us at
Errant heat to the star
And the rain let in
The hawser rolls, the vessel's whole and Christ, it's thin
Well Iʼd know that you'd offer
Would reveal it, though it's soft and flat
Won't repeat it, cull and coffer's that
For the soffit, hang this homeward
Pry it open with your love
Sending lost and alone standing offers
It is steep / it is stone
Such recovery
From the daily press, the deepest nest, in keeper's keep
All the news at the door
Such a revelry
Well, it's hocked inside of everything you said to me
It was found what we orphaned
Didn't mention it would serve us picked
Said your love is known
I'm standing up on it
Aren't we married!
I ainʼt living in the dark no more
It's not a promise, Iʼm just gonna call it
Heavy mitted love
Our love is a star
Sure some hazardry
For the light before and after most indefinitely
Danger has been stole away
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 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 leary loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish bruise
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Someday my pain
Someday my pain will mark you
Harness your blame
Harness your blame, walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on
Solace my game
Solace my game, it stars you
Swing wide your crane
Swing wide your crane and run me through
And the story's all over
In the morning, I'll call you
Can't you find a clue
When your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
Don't bother me
(Don't bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don't bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don't bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don't bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don't bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don't bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don't bother me)
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
Ah, ah
Someday my pain
Someday my pain, my pain
Someday my pain
Someday my pain
So apropos
Saw death on a sunny snow
For every life...
Forego the parable
Seek the light
My knees are cold
Running home
Running home
Running home
Running home
Go find another lover
To bring a- to string along
With all your lies
You're still very lovable
I toured the light
So many foreign roads
I was full by your count
I was lost but your fool
Was a long visit wrong?
Say you are the only
So many foreign worlds
So relatively fucked
So ready for us
So ready for us
The creature fear
I was teased by your blouse
Spit out by your mouth
I was loud by your lowered
Seminary soul
Tear on tail on
Take all on the wind on
The soft bloody nose
Sign another floor
The so many territories
Ready to reform
Don't let it form us
Don't let it form us
The creature fear
So did he foil his own?
Is he ready to reform?
So many torahs
So many for us
(fall in
fall out
fall along)
in the first of light
past the Noachide
bodies wrapped in white
stranded every pain
baby, pasts are slain
"I got outta La Grange?"
in Hinnom
all this time
with your heart in mind
didn't you edit
in Hinnom
go, the least
and the precious feast
the in-vetted
sand it starts to steal
dirt and ice imbed in cheeks
in the potter's field
solar peace
well it swirls and sweeps
you just set it
strangers scattering
nether passage in the wind
off pennant tension ring
armor, down
on the wettest ground
I was unafraid, I was a boy, I was a tender age
Melic in the naked, knew a lake and drew the lofts for page
Hurdle all the waitings up, know it wasn't wedded love
4 long minutes end and it was over it'd all be back
And the frost took up the eyes
Pressed against the pane could see the veins and there was poison out
Resting in a raze the inner claims I hadn't breadth to shake
Searching for an inner clout, may not take another bout
Honey in the hale could fill the pales of loving less with vain
Hon, it wasn't yet the spring
Aiming and it sunk and we were drunk and we had fleshed it out
Nose up in the globes, you never know if you are passing out
No it wasn't maiden-up, the falling or the faded luck
Hung up in the ivory, both were climbing for a finer cause
Love can hardly leave the room
I've been so many places in my life and time
And I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes
I've acted out my life in stages, ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
I know your image of me is where I hope to be
I treated you unkindly, darling, can't you see
There's no one more important to me, darling, darling, can't you just see through me?
We're alone now and I'm singing this song to you
Tell you what, darling
Turn down the light
Turn down the bed
Go on, turn down these voices
They're inside my head
Lay down with me
Go on, tell me no lies, no lies
Just hold me close
And don't patronize me
Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me, darling
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something it won't
Oh, here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
If you feel the power, but you won't
Oh, you don't
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
If you don't find love, darling
Oh, on your own
'Cause you know that I found love, darling
On my own, on my own, on my own
I found love, darling, darling
Right, right, right in the knick of time
I found love, darling
I found love, darling
I found love, darling, darling, darling, darling, darling
"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it, friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
3rd and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
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
(Fall in
Fall out
Fall along)
In the first of light
Past the Noachide
Bodies wrapped in white
Stranded every pain
Baby, pasts are slain
"I got outta La Grange?"
In Hinnom
All this time
With your heart in mind
Didn't you edit
In Hinnom
Go, the least
And the precious feast
The in-vetted
Sand it starts to steal
Dirt and ice imbed in cheeks
In the potter's field
Solar peace
Well it swirls and sweeps
You just set it
Strangers scattering
Nether passage in the wind
Off pennant tension ring
Armor, down
On the wettest ground
Down to the downtown
Down to the lock down boards
Nails lie around
I crouch like a crow
Contrasting the snow
For the agony, I'd rather know
'Cause blinded I am blindsided
Peek in
Into the peer in
I'm not really like this
I'm probably plight less
I cup the window
I'm crippled and slow
For the agony
I'd rather know
'Cause blinded I am blindsided
Would you really rush out?
Would you really rush out?
Would you really rush out, for me now?
Would you really rush out?
Would you really rush out, for me now?
Would you really rush out, for me now?
Would you really rush out, for me now?
Would you really rush out, for me now?
For me now
For me now
Taught line
Down to the shoreline
The end of a blood line
The moon is a cold light
There's a pull to the flow
My feet melt the snow
For the irony, i'd rather know
'Cause blinded I was blindsided
When you're out tell your lucky one
To know that you'll leave
Don't you lock when you're fleeing
I'd like not to hear keys
Only hold till your coffee warms
But don't hurry and speed
Once a time put a tongue in your ear on the beach
And you clutched clinging heels
Summer comes
to multiply,
to multiply!
summer comes
to multiply,
to multiply!
and I...
I'm the Carnival of Peace
I'll probably start a fleet
with no apologies
and the Carnival of Scenes...
it grows more and more appealing
but my woman and I...
my woman and I know what we're for
summer comes
to multiply,
to multiply!
summer comes
to multiply,
to multiply!
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
uuuuuh uuuuuh uuuh (4x)
Well I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said see look it that's yours
Stacked on top with your brothers
See how they resemble one anothers?
Even in their plastic little covers
And I said I know it well
That secret that you know
That you don't know how to tell
it f--ks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that its good girl
Cause its running you with red.
Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
you said ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this
There's a moon waning crescent
we started to kiss
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
what's that noise up the stairs baby
Is that Christmas morning
And I know it well (8x)
For the love, Iʼd fallen on
In the swampy August dawn
What a mischief you would bring young darling!
When the onus is not all your own
When you’re up for it before you’ve grown
From the faun forever gone
In the towers of your honeycomb
I’d a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
When you’re filling out your only form
Can you tell that itʼs just ceremon’
Now you’ve added up to what you’re from
Build your tether rain-out from your fragments…
Break the sailor’s table on your sacrum…
Fuck the fiercest fables, I’m with Hagen
For the love, comes the burning young
From the liver, sweating through your tongue
Well, youʼre standing on my sternum don’t you climb down darling
Oh the sermons are the first to rest
Smoke on Sundays when youʼre drunk and dressed
Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall
I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened here
We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted
And who the hell was I?
I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Up with your turret
Aren't we just terrified?
Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find
Don't let it fool you
Don't let it fool you...down
Down's sitting round, folds in the gown
Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing node
Wings wouldn't help you
Wings wouldn't help you...down
Down fills the ground, gravity's proud
You barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When'd this just become a mortal home?
Won't, won't, won't, won't
Won't let you talk me
Won't let you talk me…down
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

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
Don't you cherish me to sleep
Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father's crib
Hair, old, long along
Your neck onto your shoulder blades
Always keep that message taped
Cross your breasts you won't erase
I was only for your very space
Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss
Joy, it's all founded
Pincher with the skin inside
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope's untied
I was only for to die beside
So itʼs storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break
There's a fire going out,
But there's really nothing to the south
Swollen orange and light let through
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you
Sold, I'm Ever
Open ears and open eyes
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
uuuuuh uuuuuh uuuh (4x)
Well I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said see look it that's yours
Stacked on top with your brothers

And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
what's that noise up the stairs baby
Is that Christmas morning
Someday my pain, someday my pain
Will mark you
Harness your blame, harness your blame
And walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on
Solace my game, solace my game
It stars you
Swing wide your crane, swing wide your crane
And run me through
And the story's all over you
In the morning i'll call you
Can't you find a clue when your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue
What might have been lost -
when you're out,
tell your lucky one to know that you'll leave.
but you don't lock when you're fleeing
I'd like not hear keys
only hold till your coffee warms,
but don't hurry and speed.
one a time put a tongue in your ear in the beach
and you clutched
You ride in the park and youre peaking
Piss pools in your seat
Shes standing inside but you surely repeat
Oh God dont leave me here
I will freeze till the end
Love is loves reprieve
Winter is coming and you're stuck here
Oh and so is she
Now when the wind blows you cover your teeth
I told you to shed away and trade in your blues
Love is loves sad news
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves mystique
Youre up on the bar and your shaking
With every grimy word
Who will love
Whats love when youve hurt
You wonder as you see the snow kissed the curb
Love is loves return
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
So I heard it from a friend that there was this guy that I should talk to
So you let me in, opened doors underneath a crucifix statue
So I explained to you, I was having troubles getting through
And I was thinking of my end, it was just the sky I kept looking to
You said "I'm on your side"
I thanked you and I cried
I almost died
I was making strides, I was showing up every Sunday
But I was still confused about the pain that had invaded me
And I'm still wondering if my souls worth it to anybody
You assured me that the congregation would hear me
They said "we're on your side,
There's an unconditional kingdom that stands up high
He lets all believers in through the forgiveness of sin“
So I explained to you what was the cause of my suffering
See it was a while ago, there was an alleyway and there was a group of men
When they hurt me they whispered that the gays had to pay
When they beat me all of my worth was taken away
See I needed you and your knowing of the lord's own way through
And I was unfolded, I believed there was something he could do
But you just hung your head and told me it was the door I needed to be
Going to
"Son there's just principles, I cannot be the one who helps you“
You said "I'm not your side
You're probably paying for your sins
I don't understand your kind, it isn't mine“
Father your cold hearts a smoking gun
Your cross aint no where I want to hang my hope from
There's still something I half believe, that's why I'm leaving this world
Behind me
See my sexuality don't have nothing to do with my integrity
When I get into that land, I'll lead with the one who wears the crown
He will say "I'm on your side
The side that's kind
Judge not what's right
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 as historical, ah
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 sump-pump
Or so the story goes
Balance we won't know
This my excavation and today is kumran
Everything that happens is from now on
This is pouring rain
This is paralyzed
I keep throwing it down two-hundred at a time
It's hard to find it when you knew it
When your money's gone
And you're drunk as hell
On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load
Well I've been twisting to the sun and the moon
I needed to replace
The fountain in the front yard is rusted out
All my love was down
In a frozen ground
There's a black crow sitting across from me
His wiry legs are crossed
He is dangling my keys, he even fakes a toss
Whatever could it be
That has brought me to this loss?
On your back with your racks as the stacks are your load
In the back and the racks and the stacks of your load
In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load
This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away
Your love will be
