From the opening lines 'I am my mothers only one, it's enough. I wear my garment so it shows, now you know' to the last ' This is not the sound of a new man or crispy realization, it's the sound of the unlocking and the lift away, your love will be safe with me.' You can almost contemplate the melancholy Justin Vernon has experienced to produce such a heart-wrenchingly beautiful and touching record, but not quiet. Whoever Emma is, and exactly when forever ago was, it clearly was like so many relationships a tough experience, with the purest beauty resultant. Every song reveals tiny insights into the past but not enough to make a clear enough picture. The album has been compared to certain artists and other records but I truly believe this man is one of a kind. My album of the summer. Already.

I head Skinny Lover on Radio 1 on the 7th May... was such a great song. the sun was out.... its the type of song you can just lie in a park listening it and not have a care in the world. if the rest of the album is like this... its going to be good.
