Bon Iver - Blood Bank - Lyrics:
Well i met you at the blood bank
we were looking at the bags
wondering if any of the colors
matched any of the names we knew on the tags
you said "see look at that's yours
stacked on top with your brother's
see how they resemble oneanother's
even in their plastic little covers"
well I said I know it well
that secret that you know
that you don't know how to tell
well it fucks with your honor
and it teases your head
but you know that its good girl
cos its running through you with thread
then the snow started falling
we were stuck out in your car
you were rubbing both my hands
chewing on a candy bar
You said “Ain't it just like a present
To be showing up like this?”
as the moon waned to crescent
we started to kiss
I said I know it well
that secret that you know
but you don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
what's that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?

Bon Iver - Blood Bank (studio version):
I wonder if it's the final studio version of Blood Bank - it doesn't really match the concert version. Or maybe you just have to get used to this more quiet version. Probably, yes.
I recorded Blood Bank at Vega, Copenhagen:
Without the online crowd push he would never have gotten out to the world. No record label would have dared. No promoter would have known.
Now he is touring the whole world with his friends from some town in USA. At the concert in Copenhagen they told us they were happy and thrilled to be here and meet the Copenhagen people - that they were grateful to be able to see the world.
Indeed, they are lucky ones. And so are we!
nice work man. i think he says as the moon waned to crescent in that verse. from your recording anyway. thanks for putting up the lyrics.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I think your right. Have changed it.
ReplyDeleteMy english vocabulary is still limited, but "wane" is added now - thanks, man:)

ReplyDeletethese guys seem to have the studio version some how! very good quality.
you got down the lyrics really well, but there are a few little things you can hear more clearly on the studio version that you might think about changing.
Thank you. Great link.
ReplyDeleteThe studio version is added to the post.
A few minor corrections form the studio version. I mighta missed a couple...
ReplyDeleteWell I met you at the blood bank

Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said, “See look it that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how they resemble one another's
Even in their plastic little colors.”
And I say I know it well
That secret that you know
That you don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that it's good girl
'Cause it's running through you with red
Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
You said “Ain't it just like the present
To be showing up like this?”
As the moon waned to crescent

And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
But we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs baby?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?
And I know it well....
