I Saw Bon Iver in September last year at the end of the road festival.
Before he played this song he said "This song is about being stuck in a car in the snow, with somebody new" I really dont think there is much more to it than that.
Admitadly Most of Justin's lyrics are very subtle and oblique. Never trying to be to specific.
But i think essentially its about two people who meet at a Blood bank and find them selves stuck in a car. The realisations that happen when you start thinking about whats happening at the present time like you do if you meet somone special. Your thoughts begin to work differently. So much of peoples time is spent thinking about the past and the future.
Its very strange when you meet someone special and there is a conection when you start thinking about the moment and what it means to you now. You kind of know your going to look back fondly on whats happening.
That's the stuff. In my opinion, a perfect explanation. This song is more like a haiku than a complex web-- just a set of wonderful imagery caught up in a realization of the moment. I totally agree.

Perfect. The way you defined how you think when meeting someone special is something i've been trying to define for months. Couldn't agree more.
