As For The Title Of The Song The Frontman For Bon Iver Justin Vernon Is A Big Fan Of The T.V. Series Northern Exposure Which Follows The Story Of A Doctor From New York Who Moves To A Remote Alaskan Community And Roslyn Was The Name Of The Town In Washington Where The Series Was Filmed. The Title Is Sometime Stylized As “Rosyln” Where The ‘L’ And ‘Y’ Are Reversed From The Name Of The Town. "'He Sings In His Beautiful Falsetto And I’m Actually Singing Very Very Low. I Think There’s Something Vampire-Y And Creepy About The Two Of Us Singing Together. It’s A Simple Stripped-Down Kind Of Song. It’s Really Elegant And Beautiful.'" – St. Vincent Via MTV
