I’m up in the woods, I’m down on my mind

from Kanye West – Lost In The World Lyrics on Rap Genius

Reference to how singer-songwriter Justin Vernon (Bon Iver is his band’s name) spent all of Winter in 07, locked up in a remote cabin in Wisconsin following the breakup of his old band and his girlfriend. During this cathartic time of isolation, he churned out Bon Iver’s critically acclaimed debut album, For Emma Forever Ago

This is of course parallel to how kanye went into a self imposed exile to record My Beautiful Dark Fantasy.

Tough shit
