A few days ago I posted ‘Hazelton‘, off an extremely limited EP Justin Vernon released before he hit his stride with Bon Iver. Here is another cut from the Hazeltons EP.

“Song For A Lover of Long Ago” is a gorgeous song that demands and earns your patience, as any song spanning eight and a half minutes should. Listen to and download “Song For A Lover of Long Ago” below:

Your blog Justin Vernon (Bon Iver), “Song For A Lover of Long Ago” at PMA | Pretty Much Amazing was interesting when I found last Thursday by accident while searching for online free chat online. It’s funny what you could find on the internet sometimes. I’d have to agree on what you have to say, although it may seem like a wrong choice, but nontheless an interesting subject. Enough said, keep up the good work my friend!
