Music, at its best, has the power to transport you to another place. It can stir feelings, emotions, and thoughts within you that can be difficult to comprehend, let alone try to explain. It can bring you to tears and yet leave you unsure if you are in fact sad, or just incredibly happy. Just as all of the most important events in life, the best music is a poignant mixture of sorrow and joy.
There are many moments on Bon Iver’s self-titled second album that strike that perfect balance between light and darkness, sorrow and joy, happiness and despair. Moments so breathtaking that any attempt to explain them in words only leaves the speaker frustrated and lacking. This album is an incredible accomplishment. Everyone needs to experience it.
