Bon Iver & St. Vincent - Rosyln

Up with your turret
Aren't we just terrified?
Shale, screen your worry
From what you won't ever find

Don't let it fool you
Don't let it fool you...down
Down's sitting round, folds in the gown

Sea and the rock below
Cocked to the undertow
Bones, blood and teeth erode
With every crashing node

Wings wouldn't help you
Wings wouldn't help you...down
Down fills the ground, gravity's proud

You barely are blinking
Wagging your face around
When'd this just become a mortal home?

Won't, won't, won't, won't

Won't let you talk me
Won't let you talk me down
Will pull it taut, nothing let out

A collaboration between Bon Iver and St. Vincent. The song was used on the soundtrack to New Moon, the second film in the Twilight series, based on Stephenie Meyer's novels. When asked by Pitchfork how it happened, Annie Clark (St. Vincent) said "Justin [Vernon] and I met at Bonnaroo, and it turns out we were both fans of each other. Afterward, we got to talking about doing some kind of collaboration. He had this song that he'd been kicking around, and he sent it to me. It was beautiful, as you can imagine. I ended up working on it with him, and then it turned out that the Twilight people were interested in the song being on their soundtrack."
