PLS HELP ME FIND THIS SONG :(
[Solved] THANK YOU: u/VirgilVanDoink <3
'Worthy by Justin Vernon'
Hey everyone, I've never posted on reddit before, but I cannot find this song and it's making me so sad. I have also posted this in /justinvernon too.
I’ve been on the hunt for an old Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) song that used to be on YouTube for years but seems to have vanished. This song meant so much to me and I cannot find it on youtube anymore, or any trace of it. I think it was unreleased and could have been from his solo work as 'Justin vernon', JD Vernon, or potentially even DeYarmond Edison or Volcano Choir.
I loved the song so much at the time that I tried to write down all of the lyrics (They are probably not 100% correct, I was like 19/20 when I wrote these down and had to do it by stop pausing)
I needed a surgeon with a knife
To cut away the parts of life
That I never needed
That I never knew I had
’Til my ribs (?) started speaking to me
I needed a wave, I needed a wife
Sitting in complacence, you are free
So put a little pole against my mast
Bruise me enough so my brain shatters glass
When you are racing you are mean (?)
Pounding heart and feather weight nerves
I’m happy to hit but you’re still throwing curves (?)
Your hands are over my eye
And you’re kissing my neck
And there’s nothing more right
So I don’t know what it means to be lost
Only know what it means to be found
And I’m alright
When I’m open I say
So put a little pole against my mast
Bruise me enough so my brain shatters glass
When you are racing you are mean (?)
When you are open, you sell
And boy I know I know I’m gonna be here for you
I’m sitting in the 2007 sun
Never guessed on how it could feel
I’m waiting for God to drop me the (unknown)
Split a smoking blade of grass
Twisting pairs fall at my feet
(unknown) shaped like a chromosome
Your hands are over my eyes
And you’re kissing my neck
And there’s nothing more that’s right
Don’t know what it means to be lost, I only know what it means to be found
Now I’m alright
I’m on my way home
The company has gone
Make a huddle by a fire
A woman and a child
So give me four more lines of this
And I’ll be in and out of this
It’s been 21 years a dream
And my glass, no one’s teaming ??
This will all be true someday
If anyone can help me with this I would be so grateful. I treasured this song and am absolutely kicking myself for not ripping the audio of youtube when I could have.

This is really kind!! I'm wondering if it could be 'Worthy' - The more i'm learning from this hunt, the more I wonder if it's a Deyarmond Edison demo / or just after working with them.
