What happens when you lose your band and your girlfriend? well if your Justin Vernon or his stage name Bon Iver which is an Anglicization of the French, (bon-heever) meaning good winter, you pack up your things and retreat to a cabin isolated in Wisconsin’s north woods.
While getting his life back in order Bon Iver got into writing and recording a set of heartbreaking songs which later would become For Emma, Forever Ago the highly recommended and critically acclaimed album from Mr Iver.
Time heals all wounds and sometimes things take place for a reason, we never know how situations will turn out. Justin Vernons story is a triumphant case of finding yourself and washing the past away, getting rid of old demons and accepting new faith in the trials and tribulations of life.
