Bon Iver - Woods

[MrEpicFailure808]

Awkward Silence Games got me here. Anyone else?

[FullMetalPuppet]

KONY 2012 bought me here.

[BKillerUZ]

It's not the same thing without Kanye

[Emmmma2703]

Watching the sunset while listening to this... so chilled

[12purplepants]

Gosh, this song was beautifully created, and it's so beautiful, I just wanna cry. ;,,) Just beautiful.

[CecilieSkafte]

This song literally made me smile with tears in my eyes c':

I love Bon Iver so much.

Makes life so much brighter.. This even motivates me to do my math homework. xD 

[bluehatsteez]

yooiim listening to this song witt head phones in the detailing of the song is perfect put head phones in and tell me what you hear

[ssbettymboops]

is this in autotune?...

[bjornfanfare]

@ssbettymboops yes.

[imxmillan]

Thumbs up if nobody brought you here except for your awesome taste in music.

[SuperNerdWebb]

bon iver<3

[RamonJulian]

this song makes it hard to breathe.

[Hazzarddu]

THE BEAT IS NOT DROPPING! COME ON! COME ON! DROP ALREADY MOTHERFUCKER!

[MrThelighterside]

It's not very often that you find a song that shocks you into smiling. It's even more rare for a song to actually give you chills and make you shake your head in disbelief, honestly i couldn't even help it. But the craziest part, Bon Iver does this every single time. Pure, uncut greatness.

[aarohi96]

The beginning of Rocketeer sounds suspiciously like this.

[LiS4LiKe]

effy&freddie.

[jason1978625]

Im up in the woods. im down on life.im build a still.to slow down tha time ......now that something to make u think about life and that's real ........keep god in your life and love all ....them too ....God Bless All

[TehLazyArtist]

kind of ironically, I first heard this song while camping "up in the woods".

[Nielsen700]

So... he's up in the woods?

[xXAnEmptyShellXx]

Wwoooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww­..........

[dlogan12016]

Beautiful work.

There were a few parts where I honestly thought I was listening to "Impossible Soul" by Sufjan Stevens. Not necessarily a bad thing; great minds think alike.

[jason1978625]

This sounds very nice

[TheBillieJean1234]

My theater teacher played this today and it was the first time I've heard it and I LOVE it

[probejoe]

This song was uploaded on my birthday --------> This song is the best song to have ever been recorded

[cushmantitan4280]

Wtf.... :O It started with chills... And by the end I had a seizure

[JamesWale]

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.

[zoyacr]

this gives me chills

[fotrgaaa]

i found myself through bon iver, thank you

[SierraScobie]

why

[singforxanthi]

skins 

[Luns1111]

This is what heaven must be like

[spiderdi]

i swear, this gives me chills every single time.

[TheAnnieCracknell]

I'M UP IN THE WOODS

[maxemo111]

EARGASM.

[jswarens1]

Best use of auto-tune I've ever heard. Justin Vernon not only makes fantastic music. He saves lives too. He saved mine. :)

[MrClydethealbo24]

What song did the Game use this with?

[lovelyone451]

@MrClydethealbo24 they used this song for the season premiere

[MrClydethealbo24]

@lovelyone451 Oh I thought the rapper the Game. Which season? I want to hear it.

[maphaddad]

skiiiiiinsss

[andrewohman]

Simply beautiful, Thanks

Bon Iver.

[TheGretutka]

very nice song

[kefkapalazzo1]

hp;y shit. im about to start listening to bon iver. any recommendations on an album/mixtape i should start with?

[chrisbrownreally23]

first jason derulo now kanye..lol

[SmurfNTurf1014]

this will definitely be played at my funeral

[TheRealestBre]

Didn't realize Kanye borrowed this song 4rm him. I love it either way :)

[cheddarbiscuit]

Skins brought me here!

[TheRegomatic]

the game and kanye west

[natsicar55]

Kanye used it but I NEVER knew where it came from,I'm happy now :)

[douse1498]

The Game brought me here

[sexxheartless]

I've been looking for this song forever!!! I love it.

[Poppin817]

Im in Love the Song this should be my Theme Song!!!!

[canalcandee]

this would match very good with an eminem's rap 

[2010traverse]

Never woulda heard this if the game hadn't played it. One word HOT!!!

[Renagade006]

Like if the Game brought u here

[queenex32]

Luv it

[claire2021]

effy brought me here

[canalcandee]

@claire2021 me too! hahaha

[WalkingTravisty]

I do remember first hearing this in a Skins episode and I googled the lyrics cause I thought it sounded brilliant, but for some reason, I couldn't find it. Recently, I became a Bon Iver fan and I have never been happier.

[TheJeneye]

Skins brought me here :)

[halfmadhalfinsane]

i remember when i first heard this song, it was as if i had never truly heard music until that point

[paramore5575]

Hit me. Just once. I want to feel something.

[lilyann71]

this song sends a shiver down my spine its so good!

[MrClydethealbo24]

This song is the meaning of life.

[armadaskisV]

@MrClydethealbo24 I totally agree

[bella3458]

For some reason, I think rainy mood takes away from this.

I tried it, and didn't like it. I like the solitude of his voice, and nothing else. I think that's what he was going for, anyway.

[MUSICANDHUMOUREQUALS]

skins + bon iver = eargasm! i love bon iver and hearing it in skins is like :O SEX!

[beatleslover77]

wait is this autotuned..... uhhhh

[AugieGK4life]

@beatleslover77 yea, it's funny how mainstream f*cks up everything it touches. this just proves it true cause even autotune can be used correctly. lol

[TheDeviantGia]

Finally, someone uses autotune the RIGHT way, and it turns out beautifully.

[kefkapalazzo1]

@TheDeviantGia kanye used it this way in a whole album bro/madame

[ossi43]

@TheDeviantGia Imogen Heap- Hide and Seek...

[Somaed]

Hmm maybe its because i dont like autotune because it reminds me of that

[delightfulmee]

3 love this song

[Kapila]

3:27...HOLY SHIT, this man has soul.

[kaybreezee]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[MegaDrew254]

sit back and listen

[Boomboy256]

Thank you Pandora...

[ExampleEntrick]

@Boomboy256 i know right.

pandora is THE best. :'3

[Adm619]

Where's Kanye's verse @? :P

[xXMADmusicXx]

SKINSKINSKINS!!!

[BrettOhh18]

dude. my heaven consists of phil collins and justin vernon collaborating into beautiful harmonies unheard by our human ears. that is utopia my friends.

[1234huzza]

makes me feeel sooo happy man :)

[GabyInAction]

bon iver brilliant

kanye west brilliant

thee end

now lets just listen

[julzheadley09]

Music is meant to be heard... so listen instead of bantering back and forth.. arguing will only make you miss the words being spoken. So shhhhh listen :)

[fukkitsagaxx]

omg skins <3

[bubs7569]

@fukkitsagaxx omg stfu <3

[Nuju8605]

Heard this today...can't believe the guy who's singing this is from Wisconsin. Beautiful in the way of something so simple as layering voices on top of each other could be so pretty. <3

[skulzone]

Playing This And Lost In The Wold At The Same Time Is Utopia

[ghettocumquats]

only bon iver could make the detestable crap that is autotune sound this good...

[kaboomsound]

effy ♥

[MrDeviousPixie]

beautiful dark twisted fantasy haha, I can't take this song seriously now :(

[pisanifep]

It is like chanting a mantra

[melgaskarth97]

beautiful song 

[LeGEndPAiNtBallER32]

Thanks Kanye for helping me find this... probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard...

[MariaTastedInk]

This is so fucking beautiful.

[MDS1417]

<3

[MegaDrew254]

this is a song to sit back and listen

[MegaDrew254]

hahaha

[academyxx]

Oh hey T-PAIN.

[Totallycraz3d]

@academyxx hey

[Arli958]

There's something only Bon Iver's music can explain.

[MrDelalala]

this song should be played to my funeral.

[ItzTriixY]

Skins brought me here. o_O

[missalexbishes01]

this song makes me think of so much going on in my life.... i want to CRY!

[choirchick22]

I love this song, but having heard it for the first time AFTER watching the dick figures episode about the auto-tune bee, I can't help but laugh

[Bee22553]

so awesome awesoome awesomeeeeeeeee.

[TheAbstractHaven]

In my opinion...i really do not like the fact that Kanye West sampled this beautiful song.....

[LozzaTV]

@TheAbstractHaven in what song?

[TheAbstractHaven]

@LozzaTV lost in the world

[Christunse]

Wow

[TheSamster789]

@ctswright and james blake ;)

[crisrocksonguitar]

I`m emotionless and empty...not proud of it,though.

[vinicioFS]

kanye just used a beautiful song to make another beautiful song

[MelonMelanoma]

for some reason...I can't stop listening to Bon Iver's music

[sanfrangirl333]

1. pause video at 0:00

2. google rainy mood

3. click first link

4. play them at the same time

complete and utter beauty of both nature and harmony

[Beansner]

@sanfrangirl333 You get it

[sanfrangirl333]

@Beansner truth breh truth

[Dubiedubdub]

@sanfrangirl333 Such epicness!

[TheAnna867]

@sanfrangirl333 omg best thing in the world

[sanfrangirl333]

@TheAnna867 ikr :)

[AmberNymanXX]

@sanfrangirl333 Oh, wow.

[lmoran007]

@sanfrangirl333 Incredible!!!

[MegaDrew254]

@lmoran007 yeah

[zobozzyes2]

@sanfrangirl333 That is so fucking amazing i cant stop listening to it



[Gabbyapple1]

wow

[lcarver909]

So beautiful.

[babyyydanceeecrazyyy]

leave it to kanye west to taint such a beautiful piece of work.

[vinicioFS]

@babyyydanceeecrazyyy just shut up

[babyyydanceeecrazyyy]

@vinicioFS my opinion is my opinion, yours is yours. i don't find kanye west or any of his work to be beautiful at all. however you don't see me sitting here being rude to you. i have my thoughts, you have different thoughts. i'm a human, you're a human. keep your mouth shut and get over it.

[vinicioFS]

@babyyydanceeecrazyyy if woods were that good it would be on one of the albuns. I really like bon iver, but i dont think this music is that good, its regular song in comparison to what bon iver has done. I think Its just genius work what kanye did, making a sample of this music, in a music with a different rhythm.

maybe youre just not a hip hop person, and cant recognize a beautiful hip hop song.

[CaraminTim]

@vinicioFS uhm... kanye west is not hip hop. it's not even anywhere near hip hop. MF Doom, J Dilla, The Roots, Madlip, those guys make hip hop. i know that you don't know shit about how making music works just by your completely pointless, nonsense comment. if you don't know how a good song is build, you have no right to act like you do. music is used to express true feelings, usually by lyrics that are written with heart, and instruments played with heart. not computers.

[jayisonfires]

@CaraminTim apart from being completely irrelevant, how is Kanye West not hip hop?

[vinicioFS]

@CaraminTim Did You listen to Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy??????? Because if you did you wouldn't be talking that kanye's music has no feelings in it. Just listen to Runaway and tell me it has no feelings envolved. It has way more feeling than Bon Iver's second album.

And other thing, You can sing about nothing and still make good music.

[vinicioFS]

@babyyydanceeecrazyyy if woods were that good it would be on one of the albuns. I really like bon iver, but i dont think this music is that good, its regular song in comparison to what bon iver has done. I think Its just genius work what kanye did, making a sample of this music, in a music with a different rhythm.

maybe youre just not a hip hop person, and cant recognize a beautiful hip hop song.

[AmazingPurpleCat]

@babyyydanceeecrazyyy I hate all you "holier than thou" types who bitch endlessly whenever someone samples your favourite artist's music.

Bon Iver must have not minded what Kanye did with the sample otherwise it wouldn't be on there.

[babyyydanceeecrazyyy]

@AmazingPurpleCat oh excuse me, who's being bitchy? i don't believe it's me. bon iver is not my favorite artist, however, i don't have much respect for artists who sample music from other artists. is that original? i don't think so. i don't care if you hate me or people like me, that's up to you, but it certainly doesn't do you any good to let me know that. it doesn't change my opinion, so what's the point? i simply stated an opinion, i didn't try to change anyone's mind about the song. grow up.

[ArcticThunderAirShow]

@babyyydanceeecrazyyy I don't mean to sound forceful or rude, but sampling, when done creatively, is very much a valid form of art. Ever heard "Person Pitch", by Panda Bear? The entire album is sampled, and you wouldn't even know it. What he does with samples is absolutely astounding. It's all a matter of how you use it, really.

[thegreatnicklevin]

@babyyydanceeecrazyyy you joking? 90% of the people who know this song and are able to appreciate it know it because it was on Kanye West's album. They loved what he did with the sample so they decided to check the original out. I can't believe you can appreciate the beauty of this song without appreciating the beauty of Lost in the World. That is unfathomable to me.

[adriatynes]

Magic

[takespp]

This is what they play in the afterlife :)

[Krazygurl309]

This is a work of art! Screw Kanye...

[HOEHOEHOLLY]

i hope you do figure out how to low down time, jacob, i hope you do

[indure08]

This song reminds me of Chris McCandless...(aka Alex Supertramp)

[olipcthomas]

I prefer the kanye west version.

[HOEHOEHOLLY]

@olipcthomas ....why?

[olipcthomas]

@HOEHOEHOLLY Not sure, I think it's just because I heard his version first. Anyway, I only really like the first minute or so of it whereas this is pretty sick the whole way through.

[HOEHOEHOLLY]

@olipcthomas yeah, theyre both good versions

[hellojeannieful]

@olipcthomas I am cyber-shaking my head at you right now.

[olipcthomas]

@hellojeannieful STOP then!! I popped this onto my iPod a couple of days ago and I have come to the conclusion that I MUCH prefer this one!

[Limabima17]

this makes all the pain and problems go away it makes mee think of nothing and you flow into peace

[cococub7]

I love this nigga

[xXUntilWeBleedXx]

Bon Iver soothes my soul.

[meyoutoobthem]

Gay

[MrRocky101]

@meyoutoobthem then y did u listen to it? y did u click play? y did u even click on the video?

[meyoutoobthem]

@MrRocky101

stop asking dumb questions.

[MrRocky101]

@meyoutoobthem stop saying dumb comments

[raouldijksman]

This song is soooo beautiful!

[FMECCTV]

The auto-tune sounds good because the voice is good to begin with..

[keziiuk]

This song is niiiice. Its takin me away, makin fink about anything. It also make me remember of the good 4 seasons of skins. Skins season 1 &2 the best, including 3&4. FOREVER

[Tckendrick1993]

Amazing thats it just amazing!

[TheAntiWincest]

Amazing. I am actually in tears right now.

[UNEHCAWN]

Still - Volcano Choir

go get it

[lottadiego]

beatiful song, it remembers me to the songs that the black people used to tsing in the churchers of USA, I don't know the gender but I just know that I like it.

[scholtz14]

Kanye did not steal anything.. Vernon agreed to let Kanye West use samples from his song "Woods"

[alessastripysox]

fuck.

[MadlyDecent]

Kanye stole it!!!! look up

lost in the world by Kanye West

[reppinthatseattleblu]

@MadlyDecent ugh... he didn't steal it. He payed Bon Iver to use the sample.
