  • Happpy place

    music thats like a fresh breeze

  • Grrr. Now I have to scroll down to find the top rated comment :(

  • bon iver, happy winter

  • wish i would have discovered bon iver years ago

  • @msraychill5 better yet you did now !

  • what is this with YouTube? I go looking for amazing music...can't find. Looking at something else entirely and end up finding this great guy. The trick must be to simply get lost on YouTube and you'll find yourself.

  • who doesn't love a good banjo...sigh

  • fuck bon iver, his music is just too damn depressing. love it. lol! even his happy songs are depressing to me. thats some damn beautiful music

  • @bludg30n3d their music**

  • 20 people just did not know who Peter Gabriel and Bon Iver are.. such a shame -_-

  • no description available... <3

  • Sheer class, a masterfully layered piece of music.

  • This is good. Peter Gabriel is way better, but this is good.

  • not really sure how i got here but im staying

  • This song makes me feel like i'm in Heaven.♥

  • 10 years ago when all I knew was rock, country, and pop =

    "Ew. A banjo?! You mean like for country music??? GROSS."

    Now, after discovering indie =

    "Omg. Banjo. <3"

  • @Rawr8987 same here!! haha im in love with indie!!

  • YouTube obviously didn't know they made a huge mistake. There is a dislike button. Fix it.

  • from the moment i herd one of there songs in twlight it was cool

  • @feefee198423 wat

  • I listen to Bon Iver when I need to smile :)

  • Never known of an artist that has literally no songs that i don't like. This being no exception. If anyone is looking for something new i suggest 'Jacko Hooper' he has a track called 'You Are The Forest' that i found through another Bon Iver video a few minutes ago and it's really something special. Peace

  • peter gabriel + bon iver = perfection

  • @renrove I was just hearing this song for the first and it reminded me of Peter Gabriel and I caught your comment. I would say you were spot on friend. I would like to hear him with the lead singer of Yes.

  • Long Live Bon Iver. -3 You make my day everyday(: I love to see all those nice comments about this good music, it reminds me that some people still have a great taste in music.

  • @eliteblast then i suggest you look up the etymology of it as insult so you don't make that mistake again.

  • @eliteblast I'm a bit too old to know what that means (old enough to be a grandmother ) but if it's anything like the thoughts of douchebags, it looks like you've cornered the market.

  • @BowedOak1 I find it hard to believe a grandmother knows what a douchebag is outside of the bathroom.

  • If I consider this voice as a voice, I hate it. If I understand it's an instrument, I love it.

  • @BowedOak1 deep man you should make a book about hipster thoughts

  • there are so many great folk artists that r not discovered! I am so happy that people are starting to know this kind of music! hope it wudnt get attention just becoz its diff!

  • Sitting here, away from home..I am all down, alone and homesick..Listening to this amazing song, helps me to forget about bloody problems even for few mins, which I am struggling to deal with....Seeing all of those nice comments and thinking that there are still nice people out there..

    I haven't gave up yet, Thank you Bon Iver

  • When I close my eyes I get transported to a field where I'm free of all earthy troubles. Opening my minds eye I am embraced by the glorifying sun heat. Beams of light breath into my soul this song of joyful beauty!

  • What is this from? this is fucking great but it's not on For Emma or the self-titled album

  • I feel safe now. Thanks Bon.

  • My friend turned me onto this. really good music, so chill.

  • I love how many views these videos/songs are getting now that he was recognized by the ignorant public. Nonetheless, WELCOME TO THE PARTY FUCKERS!!

  • @DBAD14 Sometimes it takes even a played out "ritual" like the Grammy's to expose some of us "lesser beings" to Amazing music. If it wasn't for last year's Grammy's, I never would have known about Mumford & Sons. Not all of us are ignorant. Some of us (like me) are just slower at knowing about artists that deserve to be discovered & appreciated is all...

  • @OriginalNixster I don't think they meant it like that. I think they meant the typical-radio-listener-average­-American teenager. Like someone who usually listens to crap music, like Katy Perry or something.

    That's how I took it, but I could be wrong.

  • @OriginalNixster exactly, I just happened to be up late&see Mumford&Sons music video little lion man and instantly loved them,.music,espeacially masterpiece music will always find us, sooner or later and it doesnt make us ignorant for not knowing where to look.Music is a freedom and as such it cannot be restricted to any one culture, community or country-we are all connected in little ways and huge ways...we shouldnt doubt that or doubt that music and an artist like Bon Iver is beyond the image.

  • I would go gay for Justin Vernon if I could. This man is as close to a deity as a man can be.

  • 15 people are mute...

  • @Baltic102 deaf

  • marry me Bon Iver?

  • Listening to his songs makes me feel like I'm being brought to another world... Like a place where I feel safe.

    I'm so glad a friend of mine told me about Bon Iver. His songs are stunning.

  • Can't believe i hadn't heard this track of his before! Absolutely stunning. This and 'You Are The Forest' by Jacko Hooper. Two tracks that everyone should know folks, loving youtube and the new music it brings today.

  • love love love Bon Iver! absolutely amazing!

  • I'm yet to find a Bon Iver song that I don't like

  • Congrats on your well deserved Grammy Justin

  • @jbohan1 you are so right.

  • I have just discovered bon iver. I am a happier person because of it.

  • @ELBSeattle AGREED!!!

  • this makes me think of a baby being born... hm, normal

  • Ahh...getting lost in the world of YouTube suggestions....

    

  • @RandiLadawn1 RIGHT?!:)

  • I absolutely love this collaborative effort. Sparks creativity. Imagination. Tender glimpse of happiness...

  • Well done cover, but I'm love with Peter's voice...

  • Where was at year 2010 not to know this beautiful beautiful song?

    All over blind and into things that doesnt matter I guess...

  • god damn it its so perfect! everyt bon iver song is so sensitive unique and and so wonderful... i found his creations and im so glad im so pleased... he just sings what he feels he amazing his singing is so pasioned and emotional. i almost every song cry....

  • Goosebumps. Every. Single. Time.

  • So far so good.. Oh wait it's over.

  • Love......IT!

  • I've been listening to this for about two hours now. This song is beautiful, strong and powerful. I dedicate it to my grandfather -- get this: I just checked, and he passed away exactly two months ago, back in November. I'm still having a difficult time trying to accept the fact that he's passed on, but I know he's in a great place. Listening to this, it sums up everything. He's everywhere but I miss his voice and I just want him to come on and talk to me.

  • rainmood dot com RIGHT NOW :)

  • @AllThatCuteness101 Oh, please dude or dudess, this song is way too energetic to be combined with rainy mood! Check out Holocene + rainy mood.

  • so fucking perfect

  • damn...

    

  • who knew trying to find common ground with a girl i like would lead me to loving this song

  • bon iver is a genius :) <3 Pozdrav iz Srbijice:)

  • It should say no description possible! It's too awesome! :P

  • Lo

  • this is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard

  • ποσ μου αρεσει ο Bon Iver,τι υπεροχος καλλιτεχνης.....

  • genious.

  • Never has a banjo ever sounded so celestial

  • oh wow...

  • Ah please talk to me

    Won't you please talk to me

    We can unlock this misery

    Come on, come talk to me

  • From Bon himself. He is SO funny! I rate him higher even than Two and Half Men in the laughter stakes. The beard, the silly voice, the nonsense lyrics... I love EVERYTHING about his act. It's comedy gold!

  • @wazzamaddawiduden when you say nonsense lyrics, i really hope you aren't talking about this song...

  • @wazzamaddawiduden <- bellend

  • Honestly, can't remember how I got here, but I'm glad I did. Loved this song since the Secret World tour that Peter Gabriel did with Paula Cole.

    "Don't you ever change your mind? Now your future's so defined. And you act, so deaf, so blind." Truer words have never been spoken; ain't love grand.

  • I'm Loved!

  • I'm a little bit amazed how few people actually know this is a cover of a Peter Gabriel song. A very good cover though, very true to the original

  • I must be insane, then. Whew, thanks for clearing that up!

  • @wazzamaddawiduden Wow, you're very funny! Where have you learned this kind of humour?

  • @Beltran208 probably the mental hospital that hes killing himself in right about now! hah!

  • @queenbeebee222 LOVE Q AND JIAN! CBC is the best.

  • Fits like a glove. Beautiful. Hoping it helps...

  • this is extremely beautiful !!!!

  • Simply Amazing

  • A mix between Peter Gabriel and Bon Iver.. it restores a little bit my faith in humanity

  • @sweetlaulauXx not all is lost then

  • @sweetlaulauXx Peter Gabriel also covered Flume, look it up. A little more faith for us.

  • I love this song so much

  • this is originally a Peter Gabriel song i think

  • Simply...magic.....

  • Cant wait to this summer :D Roskilde ftw!

    -Norwegian-

  • Amazing song for Christmas time

  • Oh the lyrics!

  • such a beautiful song

  • when the wind gently touches my chin, I hear this song :)

  • Coldplay, Sigur Ros, Bon Iver, how can I describe these kinds of music? simply magical

  • This is the first time i hear Bon Yver and i cant stop... Thanks for this glorious gift...

  • I love the intro.

  • I find this both plaintive and hypnotic, and love the gaelic drumming, lovely, thank you

  • Comment removed

  • The description sums up this song perfectly.

    

  • @jbohan1 it just sums up bon iver perfectly ;)

    X.

  • @Hogslip Dude, we don't do that whole 'hating everyone' thing on Bon iver videos. Take your anger elsewhere.

  • @Hogslip Chill Brah. Don't need your sarcasm here.

  • me gusta mas esta version q la original de Peter Gabriel

  • Very few bands make me feel as happy as Bon Iver. They're a gateway into the real feeling of music. An emotion that can't be described in any way possible.

  • i have a new musical hero :)

  • @123jsbach And a good one to have.

  • Does he, or pardon me the band, mostly do covers? Or do they have originals?

  • @rain74925 They have 2 albums (For emma Forever ago, Bon Iver) out as well as one EP (Blood Bank)

  • why does he always sound like he's singing from inside a well?

  • Good take on Peter Gabriels song :)

  • Oh my god, what glorious music. How it sinks into my soul and fills me with contentment.

  • This is way too beautiful.

  • I will not ignore Bon Iver.... this song kicks ass

  • this mans voice is as yummy as chocolate, i just cannot get enough thankyou for sharing with us your talent xx

  • FANTASTICO!!

  • just love his voice beautiful

  • lovely just lovely

  • anyone that makes the e-bow sound like this is just amazing...a sort of Paul simon meets big country but still a great great song.

  • I actually like his solo albums much more. This is still great.

  • Stop referring to Bon Iver as one guy. Bon Iver is a band, the singer/songwriter's name is Justin Vernon.

  • @digiammar For me, Justin Vernon is the heart and soul of Bon Iver.

  • You can't NOT like Bon Iver, it's simply impossible.

  • <3

  • Just had a musicgasm

  • i can't explain what this song does to me w/o sounding crazy...I literally get shivers everywhere and I want to implode with happiness.

  • I love the description for this song

  • Hammering the like button as fast as i can

  • For those who were askin', this is the b-side of his latest single, Holocene. Fantastic cover!

  • incredible! fuck'n awesome!

  • Ah. 

  • HOMYGOD i just exploded

    

  • its his loss if he doesnt like bon iver. all the more for us. jeeez.

  • I like this one, but to all You brown noses I submit, that I like the original version even more. Put it in Your pipe and smoke it - You'll see why.

  • the haters will just end up giving him more publicity.. these people are just making him better and better. I love bon iver and anyone who "hates" him is just feeding his fame.

  • i want to kill he who does not like something this man creates

  • Interesting cover, and well done (although maybe too minimalistic for me) But for those who don't know the original, try Peter Gabriel's live version from the 1994 tour.

  • <3

    

  • Anyone that dislikes Bon Iver is.......insane

  • @anj1819 i usually hate when people say insane when it doesn't fit the sentence, but you sir......are correct

  • thish is aweshome

  • this is a peter gabriel cover for those asking....(just in case y'didn't know!) Love it.

  • There is just no bad bon iver anything.

  • If you dont like Bon then go away. The rest of the people here will more then likely save someone from a burning building or smile at a neighbor.

  • this sounds like a save africa song!!!

  • @BonIverSUCKS come on! what are you talking about? aerosmith are one of my favourite bands of all time, i also like bon iver, but i wouldn't go slagging bands off just because i have a different music taste!

  • What record is this on, if any?

  • @bigmuffmama ............ okay. leave

  • it's so nice man ,takes you to another world ,but it's nothing new, it's Bon Iver.

  • That was amazing.

  • He sort of resembles Elliott Smith. In that pic anyway.

  • @BonIverSUCKS Aerosmith? Get out of your trailer and off the meth. Come join the naturals eating shrooms and enjoying bon iver

  • looks like he's making a fart noise in that picture

  • Si ya con esta cancion no se derrite es porque esta muerto en vida y mejor me busco otro novio. Al parecer, en este momento estoy sedmi-disponible. Quiero a alguien que "le llegue" la musica.
