What I Heard Today :: Bon Iver

Never since the Bee Gees first wooed us with falsetto have I been in love with such a high pitched voice coming out of a man {ok, Justin Timberlake can hit some high notes that rock me to the core, but it is not his main schtick}.

Furthermore, any one who knows me also knows that I am a sucker for a bearded, quasi-homeless-looking guy.  {Maybe it is the Alaskan in me meets the New Yorker in me?}

Enter Bon Iver.

Much like a “good winter,” {which is the play on words from the French saying: bon hiver} Justin Vernon’s sweet sounds make me smile, then cry, then laugh.

He takes you on an emotional journey through the conviction in his voice.  One of my favorites:

Bon Iver – The Park (Feist Cover)
