Emma is the girl For who you'd pay millions Just to hear her laugh That laugh It is a laugh no summer breeze can compete with To hear Emma talk Is to immerse yourself in a still black lake Illuminated my moonlight's gleam On a raw summer night Once you hear it Her voice becomes the only lullaby You will ever fall asleep to Once you see her The second you do Beauty will cease to exist There will only be Emma And that which is not her.

Emma.
Emma is the girl For who you'd pay millions Just to hear her laugh That laugh It is a laugh no summer breeze can compete with To hear Emma talk Is to immerse yourself in a still black lake Illuminated my moonlight's gleam On a raw summer night Once you hear it Her voice becomes the only lullaby You will ever fall asleep to Once you see her The second you do Beauty will cease to exist There will only be Emma And that which is not her.
Listening to Bon Iver's "For Emma", I asked myself "who is Emma?".
