When I first heard Black Man Ray in 1985, it resonated with me, but I didn’t know why. I guess I was too young. It took me many years to understand that this song is about doubt, not just in faith, but probably doubt in general.

I can’t quite put my finger on why ‘Holocene’ moves me so much. The video is breathtaking, the melody is warm, and the lyrics are a puzzle I’m happy to keep solving. Maybe it’s the way Justin Vernon sings about smallness and connection in a vast world.
