Re: Stacks

So I listen to this podcast, usually every Monday while cleaning my room, and...this week they played a clip of a song by a professional acappella group called Sonos. I went searching iTunes to figure out what this song was and found out it's called "Re: Stacks", which seemed familiar but I didn't know why. I of course purchased it and have been listening to it nonstop for about two days. Then, I decided to google the lyrics and soon found out, to almost no surprise, that it is originally by my serious lover of my soul of the moment Bon Iver. Duh. No wonder I love it. His music speaks to me. And it continues to. So there you go. Here is the Sonos version and the original. Enjoy and let it satiate your weary soul. That is my advice. You're welcome. The end.





Re: Stacks
by Bon Iver

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 as your load

In the back and the racks and the stacks are your load

In the back with your racks and you're un-stacking your load



I've twisting to the sun 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

And he's 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 as 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 a crispy realization

It's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away

Your love will be safe with me
Your love will be safe with me
