I always find the final line āyour love will be safe with meā to refer to the next relationship, but more than that, to himself, and his willingness to finally accept and love himself.
But the fact that we all draw something different from his lyrics speaks to the masterpiece that this song is, and to the insufficiency of language to ever adequately express human experience and depth of emotion. By leaving the metaphors vague, he can express his emotion, without trampling the listenerās. Absolutely beautiful.

I just wanted to point out that, while his relationship and band ending catalyzed this album, it's not as simple as being about his ex. He's said this in an interview, that it's more complex than than that, even describing 'Emma' as an inerasable pain, and not necessarily a specific person. So, while I agree with much of this interpretation, I just wanted to warn against simplifying Justin's work and motives too much, as nothing that he does can be so easily boiled down to a simple concept, and is usually multidimensional in beautifully intricate ways.

"putting so much effort and time, just to lose everything, and hit rock bottom".

Fun fact, Bon Iver once revealed to an audience "Emma isn't a person".

The ending of Re:Stacks reminds me a bit of the ending of Pablo NerudaĀ“s Peom " If you forget me" - " in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine."

When I was in high school, I paralyzed my left arm for about 6 months. As a musician, I was completely devastated, especially because I never knew if I would make a full recovery and be able to play music again. In a time when my entire life was a frenzy, this song really helped carry me. As cheesy as it may sound, when he would sing "This is pouring rain, this is paralyzed" I felt like he was singing straight to me and really understood what I was going through when no one else did. It was like musical empathy from a man I had never met.

If you think about it, the whole album kind of evokes a hard night, kind of like a bad dream about a distant memory. Re:Stacks to me is like waking up in the morning. It does carry the heavy mood of the rest of the album, but makes it distant and unimportant. As if he walked out of the cabin at five in the morning after the whole nightmare that was the rest of the songs, and I swear I can see the first sunshine trying to make it through the morning mist and the pine trees. Re:Stacks is the closure, the understanding that life will never be the same, but even if you choose to drag those stacks, life goes on.

May this heal every broken soul out there. If anyone feels like getting in touch, please do. I'm right here.
A new era will begin, a new season will come for autumnal trees.

"Knowing that his heart always belongs to her" Yeah, i seconded that 100%. This song just connects to me upon hearing it just one time.

Amazing! I remember the very dark times when my relationship ended. I was seriously depressed, turned to alcohol to relieve my pain, but it made only things worse. And then I did something crazy. I bought flight tickets and travelled Patagonia - all alone for the first time ever. I remember sitting in a cosy cafe in Ushuaia, drinking hot chocolate, eating churros, having a great view on Beagle Channel. It was a sunny morning, I was about to start my big, solo adventure in the national park and the speakers in the cafe played "Re:Stacks". This was the first time I evered heard this song and I remember how uplifted I felt. Now I realized what was that. I felt hopeful. That was a moment when I was finally at peace with my breakup and started looking with anticipation into the future rather than constantly dwelling on the past. It's been over four years since that sunny morning in Ushuaia and I'm still starting each day listening to this song.

It took me a little while to realize what Vernon was talking about when he sings of "twisting to the sun". In my opinion, here, he's using a metaphor to compare himself to a tree. Like how an old tree is twisted and mangled, Justin felt like he was dead in the rut he was stuck in. He "needed to replace" or leave the run down front yard with the fountain in it. His "love was down in a frozen ground" like roots in bad, lifeless soil. But I also think he was being self-referential here, because he had previously said he kept "throwing it down, two hundred at a time ", as in gambling. Perhaps he means that his reliance on his previous band and his girlfriend was all based on a gamble?
Really beautiful language.

Iāve listened to it well over 100 times. It inspires me to pick up one of my acoustic guitars. This was already my style. I have a wonderful friend that is a classical pianist. She wanted me to send her some of my work, and I did. Soon after, she sent me this song. She was confirming my style of guitar. It gave me confidence to write and play and record dozens of songs that were previously not in my mind, but were in my heart and soul. So I give thanks for this piece.

As a huge Bon Iver fan and with this being one of my favorite tracks from him, I am trully thankful to have this show up in my recommendations :')
