Something about being an independent artist gives you that freedom to exactly just that. I've never come across my collection of music where the artist put out a visual accompaniment to their body of work except maybe Kanye West's Runaway video. It was interesting looking up Bon Iver on VEVO and come up blank. I'm assuming it's because it's the major record labels that release those videos. Eh. This album is still being figured out by me. Too many layers.
To those asking where the heck Hinnom, TX is? Thanks SongFacts.com
This synth-pop ballad finds Bon Iver leader Justin Vernon dreaming of a burial place for strangers near Jerusalem being relocated in the heart of Texas. He explained the story behind the song to UK newspaper The Sun: "When I was working on the lyrics I was coming up with these images of the desert. I had the idea of taking Hinnom, a place near Jerusalem where they have a cemetery for people who don't have names and plopping it into Texas. The song became an amalgamation of this idea and my experience of a Lucinda Williams song 'Fruits Of My Labor.' She sings this line, 'Cause I finally did it, baby, I got out of La Grange, go in my Mercury and drove out west.'
