  • Thumbs up if Skins brought you here

  • R.I.P Doune Moseley. You will always be loved.

  • Hey Kanye West brought me here

  • Don't split hairs over what brought you here to hear; Here you are, and that's what's important.

  • One day...

  • thumbs up if you came here

  • Thx House, for another lovely song!

  • I just don't get it how such beautiful music can get so much hate. Is it jealousy?

  • Es la mejor cancion que he oido en la historia!

  • thumbs up if house DIDN'T bring you here

  • @3CheersForMHSMellos Good Show!

  • Comment removed

  • @3CheersForMHSMellos And well done, people!

  • House brought you here? HAHA. I've known this band for years!!! Good taste in music brought me here. :)

  • @JovErNix OMG, you are so cool, you liked them before they were cool, you are the coolest guy ever!

  • Skins, not House!

  • boring boring boring played the album once never played it since

  • @Procycliste Is that why you're here commenting on how you've never listened to it ever again?

  • @ShadowCrashed81 yes you got it, volume off 

  • @BonIverSUCKS

    Find a proper hobby, coz you creating a whole account just for hate messages. It's just sad dude. I pity you. There, feel better? You're Welcome. :)

  • I wish I'd never learned the actual lyrics to this. The song was better when it could have meant something.

  • @BonIverSUCKS You're silly to have made a whole account and go trolling around just to bash bon iver. It's funny really.

  • @BonIverSUCKS no 1 has a cd player now a days its ipods mate haha

  • flume...Pendragon anyone?

  • Dude "BonIverSUCKS" if you think Iver sucks why have i seen you on so many of his videos with comments? is your life really so pathedic that you listen to music you don't like just in order to post comments and talk shit? really??? ...that's just sad....

  • @BonIverSUCKS u win "the person with absolutely no life" award of the year. i've not seen someone stoop so low on youtube! wow.

  • @BonIverSUCKS Cool story bro.

  • love his voice..

  • @BonIverSUCKS I'll make you into a beer coaster

  • es preciosa :)

  • my favourite no...

  • me encanta tu música y tu voz... ;)

  • House season 7 ep 22 brought me here. House always introduces great songs and artists that are understated.

  • i saw peter gabriel sing this live at the 02 in london and he did it total justice, i never compare as such as the song itself is just brilliant, i like both versions but of course the credit goes to bon iver for making me like the song in the first place.

  • Potrafi wzruszyć. Niewiele jest takich utworów posiadających tak wiele emocji.

  • House!!!

  • kurwa. Its namazing song. 

  • Thumb up if you already knew this song before listening it on last night's episode, and u just flipped out when you heard it starts

  • House<3

  • House xD

  • House ftw

  • thumbs up if House brought you here

  • i am my mothers only one. it's enough

  • I too wear my garment so it shows . (sighs) ...

  • "I wear my garment so it shows"

    I love this line. I like that he didn't say "I wear my heart on my sleeve"

    "Only love is all maroon"

    Maroon is symbolic of courage, bravery, heroism, and strength the very color of love, that's action more than words.

    "Gluey feathers on a flume"

    This is interesting. I was thinking either Cupid (love is wounded and falls from the sky) flume is an artificially cut channel (it reminded my of the heart and its chambers)

  • <---- did a little cover of this song, please have a quick listen :)

  • I've been missing out on the bon iver

  • I've been listening to Bon Iver for over 2 years. I have two comments - He is beautiful is the most unique raw and emotional way, but no performer. What he accomplished left alone with his emotions in a cabin in the woods is incredible, but unfortunately will never be recognized for this because his voice is not that advanced. Still can't help but love him.

  • @MsCreynier /watch?v=62i9Sodwp5o

  • i love this song! <3

  • Good cover of this song:

    /watch?v=gpKXr8o4WbE

  • i have just found this band, and i love it.

  • fuck the unlikes.this song is awesome and his voice unique

  • I taught I knew what music was, until I heard Bon Iver...

  • @Kegean Doesn't matter?! o.ô.

  • bliss....

  • Bon Iver is one of the best singers i know. I love his music. <3

  • @Lifelineful its a band

  • @kegean

    Justin Vernon wrote and recorded the music himself ;).

  • @degree7 All the songs on this album are GREAT ! but of course , that's my opinion :)

  • vernon genius!

  • I heard this song while I was boarding an airplane from Air France and loved it!

  • wow...

  • dont get me wrong, i love this song, but doesnt the slide tingling on the strings of his guitar kinda irritate you. Whenever im listening to this song now all i can think of is fingernails on a chalkboard. If he took out the annoying tingling slide, the song would be amazing

  • @Jfritzful wow now im thinking that thanks

  • Peter Gabriel's version isn't quite as amusing like this one

  • The foundation track was recorded at home. You can hear him click the mouse at 3:33. ;)

  • Gabriel's version is more powerful. I love it.

  • @jary1844 you should hear vernon play it live :)

  • mmm goosebumps, I played this album while cruisin around holland. Summer sun beatin down down on my arm, windows open, drivin past the polders, smokin a dutchie.

    happy days

  • @SirDrustanus

    What are you doing with the windows down? Box it in.

  • @snowskatesurf88

    hahaha, i got some weird looks from peeps in this internet shops as I cracked up.

  • Im also my mom's only one.... at daughter :)

  • "only love is all maroon"

  • @tLoveDaSurfdawg08 lapping lakes and leary loons :)

  • @rawrkiki99 god what good alliteration. also lapping is an underused word, great imagery

  • This guy is everything I've been looking for in music.

  • just waw! I love this song =)

  • The thing that the song is in minor, and the harmonies are bang on!

  • I prefer the studio version over the live. This is proof good music still exists...you just have to know where to look. "Sky is womb and she's the moon." That's pure poetry.

  • Comment removed

  • this song is purely flawless.

  • emotive song <3

    

  • The 10 People That Disliked It Can Go Die

  • So much passion on this man to sing. What a great song and band!!!

  • every single song he has written has broken my heart a million times over and put it back together

  • This reminds me of a very special person, and whenever I listen to it I go to a beautiful place in my mind! =]

  • first time i heard this, well the 1st time i gave it a good listen, i was parting ways with my mom , sister and dog and going home to a terrible life. the evening sky was just beautiful and i was on a ferry to vancouver. cried like never before.

  • @DerekDeluxe this song was the thing that made me cry after a series of very terrible things, i think that's it's job.

  • GREAT SONG!

  • what a wonderfull song. i cant stop playing it over and over. love it.

  • my love song

  • fab song fab voice loves him lots x

  • wow... this guy is amazing. I'm so glad I found this

  • peaceful and delicate....."sky is womb and she is moon" - so ever lovely

  • am i the only one to think that this rly looks like anthony and the johnsons?

  • @spasmstuff

    I agree

  • Never heard of this guy or this song til I heard Gabriel's cover an hour ago. Now I am hooked. Bon Iver fans...you should be thrilled. Gabriel just brought your artist a boatload of new admirers.

  • peter gabriel fans should be chuffed, peter picked a great tune!

  • Comment removed

  • sydbarr, this is the original version. Peter Gabriel's version is wonderful, but that's the cover my friend. I like this one better.

  • @bmfc1000 (and sydbarr, and others): I think Peter Gabriel mentioned that this song (Bon Iver's version, written by Justin Vernon) was brought to his attention by his (Gabriel's) daughter, and he fell in love with it. I think it's a beautiful tribute to a beautiful song.

    Interesting how different the two versions are, but the magic of the song is the same.

  • @sydbarr:  Noob

  • Peter Gabriel's cover of this is awesome.

  • isnt he just WOW... bon iver is the shit..

  • i love bon iver :) so much. one of my favorite bands. they're so fucking good :]

  • Oddly enough, I prefer this to the live version. For me, it's the vocal on this version that makes the song.

  • @RaleighRoyal i totally quote

  • Don't like this compared to the live version. Just doesn't compare.

  • i agree the live acoustic version cant be beat.

  • this is so chill i fuckin love it

  • my reaction after the first 20 seconds? favorite, 5 stars, this comment, next favorite song for weeks.

  • after 20 seconds he didn't even begin singing

  • @lordtains doesn't matter :D

  • @darth1994 EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!! HELL TO THE YEAH!

  • great song... love it

  • lol...

  • this song helps me sleep :)

  • same here

  • is this a Demo ?

  • yummy gorgeous music

  • got to love him.. jeez!

  • Beautiful

  • I smell a hater.

  • undoubtedly one of the finest songs ever

  • Something about the beginning of this song and the progression really hits a nerve ending with me. It tugs at this raw feeling of nostalgia without any explication.

  • tru dat nigga

  • completely agree. non sensical lyrics (at least to me) that somehow come together to wrench at your soul..

  • another master piece by Bon Iver!..love it

  • I love this song :) and alos Wolves by Bon Iver.

    Been listening to them both nonstop.

  • sssssooooooooooo pretty....this song makes me so calm \nd feel so peaceful its incredable

  • This song makes me feel sad. I heard it on skins and somewhere else.

  • what are you bashing, Skins or Bon Iver?

  • Skins

  • what instrument is that in the background with the like eerie vibrations?

  • I think it's an acoustic guitar played with a violin bow. Simply amazing.

  • that is freaking awesome why have i not heard that? like jimmy page with the electric but you'd think someone would come around in all these and do it with an acoustic. especially if it sounds that good.

  • It's an E-bow, some sort of magnet you can put on your guitar to make the strings vibrate without even toughing them. :)

  • oooh yeah i know about those but i guess for some reason i didn't really clue in:P

  • hot coffee late in the afternoon at home and relax

  • nice song

  • great song ... love it

  • this song made me cry :| i absoloutely love it

  • feel connected in some stange way to the vocals...

  • This song actually gives me goose bumps.

    he is soo amazing :)

    i have to see him live.

    Thankyou so much for posting.

  • I just breathed a sigh of relief and happiness

  • i saw bon iver at green man, was magical, so fantastic!!

  • Thank God there is a Bon Iver video on here that hasn't been soiled by that dickhead Blackhammer.

    Beautiful song, love the photo.

  • so touching

  • Bon Iver is French, it means good winter.

  • Actually the frech for good winter is bon hiver, but he called himself bon iver because hiver reminded him too much of a liver problem he had at the time... thats what wikipedia says anyway, though it cant quite be trusted :P

  • I love how all the comments on this video are liked. I guess amazing music just has that effect on people.

  • amazing
