Band leader\/songwriter Justin Vernon has said this about the song<\/strong>:\u00a0 “Holocene is a bar in Portland, Ore., but it’s also the name of a geologic era, an epoch if you will.

Most of our lives feel like these epochs. That’s kind of what that song’s about. “Once I knew I was not magnificent.” Our lives feel like these epochs, but really we are dust in the wind. But I think there’s a significance in that insignificance that I was trying to look at in that song.”<\/p>\n
