The song was recorded during the sessions for Bon Iver’s eponymous sophomore album. Its title clearly harkens back to that album’s motif of conflating places, times, and people into “epochs” – especially in the stylistic resemblance to the titles of “Minnesota, WI,” “Hinnom, TX,” and “Lisbon, OH.”
Musically, “Haven, Mass” fits the mold, as well; its autotuned vocals and backing drones match the the more electronically influenced sound that Vernon released to the world in 2011 through Bon Iver, and his “Fall Creek Boys Choir” collaboration with James Blake.
Cobbled to your trail
Bevel through the speech
In the harbors I was hanging on
Cradled wrought and weak
Hardly aching for your drum
I’ll be able when you’re airborne
Peddle all the marble
Tell them all, “Be missing me”
Fought from the mainstay
Unhung from a halter
I am back from Baltic, now
It’s been raining
[Chorus]
Now I’m having
You are haven, dear
Pond in north face eyes
Center’s sable
Just like cinders in a prairie fire
Pave in the broad charring up the tall trees mawde’em
Well it’s maple for the deputy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Got another novel
And I’d wash down ravines
You’re my main in
How that you have altered
Sure is to some fine degree
It’s not careening
[Chorus]
I am having
You are haven, dear
(I am having
You are haven, dear)
