Like the two albums that came before it, Bon Iver's new album is full of beautiful moments—but with the vocal effects and Justin Vernon's distinct singing style, it's often difficult to make out the lyrics. For most fans, the feeling Vernon is able to convey is what's most important when it comes to a Bon Iver record, but the lack of understanding can be frustrating.

Bon Iver makes the deepest, most introspective music ever. I don't even know what he's saying when he sings, but it always hits home

Bon Iver continuing the trend that I have no idea what he is saying in his songs but I like it.

Fortunately, the band has released a lyric video for one of 22, A Million's standout tracks "715 - CR∑∑KS" that should help solve that problem. Of course, while the clip confirms that he did in fact say "toiling with your blood, I remember something," the jury's out on what that exactly means. We'll keep our fingers crossed for a full Genius annotation at some point.
