@pinKstarzx No! This song is about Heath Ledger, and so it will remain! Let's stick with that. He's worth far more than any pathetic romance film. He's the modern day's James Dean. He was in too few films, but he certainly left one hell of a mark on the world. He'll never be forgotten, and to say a song about him should be reduced to something so trivial is a real crime.
In the very beginning, you can hear the sound of sailboat masts. It's pretty subtle, but i thought it was cool when i noticed it. If you were wondering what that sound is, now you know.
I paused the song just to type this stupid crap. You're all pathetic. It's great you're standing up for what you like, but you're fighting against this faceless, emotionless person. Who gets his kicks out of pissing you guys off so he can call you hipsters and piss you off even more. You need to learn to pick your battles, and enjoy the music...
@BonIeverSUCKS That's sad that u made a channel just for that and do u plan to ever use it? No, so if u dont have anything nice to say don't say it at all.
Only discovered these guys a few nights ago and I've been in awe since. Some of the best music I've ever heard (to me). Must go out and buy their albums now!!!
first listened at it in the car trying to get some sleep at glastonbury car park on the tuesday. Had an amazing festival but was always thinking about listening at it again in peace....
I absolutely love this song and everything Justin Vernon. If you like this song, you should check out Fragile Bones(Feels Like Home) by Ali Murray, so dreamy and sad and beautiful. Murray and Vernon are my favourite songwriters right now.
R.I.P. Heath Ledger
