This is an unreleased song Justin recorded before the first Bon Iver Album "For Emma, Forever Ago". I hope you enjoy it though it's very very dark. As far as I know it's not available anywhere, just wanted to share this great songwriters work.

Not sure if I've ever found an artist that can do so much with such simple guitar. I would do anything for Justin to be my guitar teacher

It would be great to be an artist that Justin would listen to and think, man this is good stuff...much like I do with all his stuff. LOL

Could it be "And I hang up the phone, when I hear you drop?"Sure it's not a suicide/suicide, and not a murder/suicide?

I only made a few minor changes but I think this is closer (I most likely am wrong though...)It's a warm October nightYour lights is onAnd they're glistening sharp through the treesA vision is stuck as it isBut your body moves from wall to wallAnd I'm hanging on for your mighty fallWhen the pills I slipped you baby,Heed their callAnd I'll hang up the phoneWhen I hear you driveAnd I cut across the lawn like a surgeon's lieAnd your body moves like a spin-less topWhen I'm dragging you out, oh the tears won't stopHoney how'd you have to do him, could you do it I could notAnd I bury you one way I never thought I wouldOh the crushing silenceHoney I never knew you couldAnd this deafening morningSt. Peter walks with a hoodLeave Your Shoe in the gatewayI'm coming on footSo I take the knife and I drive it homeI have time and the courageTo drive it home once moreOf all my dreams to fail meThe one person that saves meOf all the sins to nail meAnd this pardon he gave meAnd the wind breakI fall into the holeAnd I bury youOne way I never thought I wouldOh, the crushing silenceHoney I never knew you couldOn this deafening morningSt. Peter walks with a hoodLeave Your Shoe in the gateway babyI'm coming on footMy cold bodyStill warmer than yoursAnd it strangles the life out of mePlease have mercy on meAnd your body movesLike an ocean breaksAnd the falls crashing downI'm the beats that takeBefore ever in this hot, dusty graveThat's where we'll beSo I bury youOne way I never thought I wouldOh, the crushing silenceHoney I never knew you wouldAnd the deafening morningSt. Peter walks with a hoodLeave Your Shoe in the gateway babyI'm coming on footLeave Your Shoe in the gateway babyI'm coming on footLeave Your Shoe in the gateway babyI'm coming on footLeave Your Shoe in the gateway babyI'm coming on foot

I found this Lyrics...It's a warm October nightYour lights is onAnd they're glistening sharp through the treesA vision is stuck as it isBut your body moves from wall to wallAnd I'm hanging on for your mighty fallWhen the peels have slipped you babyHe dare callAnd I'll hang up the phoneWhen I hear you driveAnd I cut across the lawn like a surgeon's knifeAnd your body moves like a spin-less topWhen I'm dragging you out, oh the tears won't stopHoney how'd you have to do him or could you do him I could night (?)And I bury you one way I never thought I wouldOh the crushing silenceHoney I never knew you couldOn this deafening morningSt. Peter walks with a hoodIf it's you in the gatewayI'm coming on footSo I take the knife and I drive it homeI have time and the courageTo drive it home once moreOf all my dreams to fail meThe one person that saves meOf all the sins to nail meAnd this pardon he gave meAnd the wind breakI fall into the holeAnd I bury youOne way I never thought I wouldOh, the crushing silenceHoney I never knew you couldOn this deafening morningSt. Peter walks with a hoodIf it's you in the gateway babyI'm coming on footMy cold bodyStill warmer than yoursAnd it strangles the life out of mePlease have mercy on meAnd your body movesLike an ocean brakesAnd the falls crashing downI'm the beats that takeBefore ever in this hot, dusty graveThat's where we'll be... but I know that they are not accurate, could someone (who speak English as a born language) fix it??

Amazing, horrible, tragic song. I don't believe the person singing is necessarily evil, just messed-up enough to kill the person he loves the most; and when he sees her there, he wants to join her. Only, he knows he can't get into Heaven, so he asks her to leave her "shoe in the gateway", so he can slip in behind. I listened to it over and over. Justin Vernon's solo work is incredible.

Kasparas .

agreed.. However, you can see how he tends to move forward and forward pretty quickly, even For emma already seems like justin's old-self compared to experimental-ish Bon iver.
