Me and Vinyl, Hand in Hand

There is a particular song that I haven't been able to shake since I first heard it months ago. It is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard and it holds deep meaning with me right now. I want to leave an abbreviated version of the lyrics here, and dedicate them to a best friend who I will continue to share the worst and best of times with, and a best friend lost under circumstances far out of my reach. Please take a listen if you have yet to hear it.
.
The Wolves (Act I and II) -- Bon Iver
.
Someday my pain
Someday my pain will mark you
Harness your blame
Harness your blame, walk through
.
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on
.
Solace my game
Solace my game, it stars you
Swing wide your crane
Swing wide your crane and run me through

.
And the story's all over you
In the morning, I'll call you
Can't you find a clue
When your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue
.
What might have been lost
Don't bother me
What might have been lost

Don't bother me.
