Bon Iver has delivered the warmest album of his career, ‘Saber, Fable’, and the song that best represents the healing trip of Justin Vernon until finding personal peace is the one that puts the end point. ‘There’s a Rhythmn’ is today’s song.
It seems a lie that such a simple and elementary composition – a percussion loop and some keys – can evoke so much feeling. It is clear that the public of the renowned American artist has also connected deeply with the song, being clearly the one that has worked best from the day of launch, not including the singles.
Justin Vernon himself describes ‘There’s a Rhythmn’ as the favorite song of his discography, and it is easy to justify these statements with the lyrics. Simply, the most honest and cathartic of his career. In them, Vernon openly reflects on his journey by leaving aside all kinds of resentment, repentance or “shame”: “I could leave the snow behind / through a land of palm trees and gold,” Vernon sings.
Everything, although things do not end exactly as he wishes with his special person, which now needs “space.” This takes the tender side we have seen from Bon Iiver: “I will pause and wait / because you are really a chocolate.”
In the video clip, as revealing as the song itself, we see the 43 -year -old artist sitting in the cabin where it all started 17 years ago. Thanks to a new green screen, this is seen walking through the snow, the road, while the sol slowly comes out. Vernon is detaching from his dark garments until he becomes pure light. Now, you can find that “rhythm.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfifwgsmoug
