Bon Iver - Holocene (Deluxe)

[TheKelticKowboy]

It's rather sad actually..Full of melancholy

[Clanmemberkalvin]

What an AMAZING video! I normally can't sit through slow moving nature shots... But this one captivated me.  The song is cool and unique. Really love the vocals.

[reophydey101]

brb, on vacation

[nealpwns]

not even kidding...i HATED this song when i first heard it. but it gets better and better. and now i love it.

[KINGEJ10]

Video Was Better Than The Song,I Dont know The lyrics but it Sounds Good Lol

[Luvhanii]

this is one unparalleled song... i truly saovour it from the beginning to the end... this is what i call premium music.

[PaxtonYid92]

Why does this song reduce me, a grown man, to tears?

[danielbradfordce]

this song is my favorite on the Bon Iver album. it is pure bliss, pure beauty, pure talent

[ShyanRank]

My love for Minnesota was just enhanced and I have become increasingly nostalgic throughout this five minutes of bliss.

[zReDYeLLoWGReeNz]

@ShyanRank Hey you from MN?

[50an6xy06r6n]

I could seriously watch this for hours on end...

[MrRobynLover]

This song is haunting me, like I never knew music could be so raw and beautiful, pure all at once.

[mgatulisan]

This song makes me feel like i made it to heaven

[lxgrkn]

what the hell were those images at 5:27

[UnicornMonsterfly]

Speechless... if there was anything that I needed to stumble upon this evening, it was definatly this. Thanks to everyone who created, as RAGEandDUST so perfectly said, this "mystical experience."

[Rsmolguitar1441]

im high without being high. woah

[CrazyxPineapple]

One of the most beautiful pieces of film Ive ever seen, along with an equally stunning song

[Redsoxfannotemo09]

Best song to listen to when you are high.

[whenthesunlightdies]

BEAUTIFUL video.

[jaredletolover4ever1]

720p, full screen, volume turned up all the way...simply amazing.

[alexandra6d]

this song makes me want to swim through a field of hay bales, jump off a castle while rain is falling in slow motion and then land in a soft forest where centaurs are having a marshmallow fight (all in good fun), the centaurs will then inaugurate me as queen of the forest and i will sing many many bon iver songs on top of my canopy of marshmallow hay bales

[ptifurtek]

Człowieku masz boski głos. With love from Poland

[ZeroOnePaz]

GREAT visuals to this wonderful song! Thx!

[wwjd0723]

bootiful video/song



[jwmichler]

WOW-When my daugter was home from Hollywood for XMas and in the mix of the great music, I had hear this song and tried to describe it too her and her brother for hours. They didn't know what I was talking about! But after last nights Grammy's! He's the best - humble - and from Wisconsin. Inspiration to Great Artists vs. some of the crap we saw in the Grammy's last night - e.g. Katy Perry trying to outdo Lady Gaga / and for the Lady - Put that Golld Post Cane up your Ass!!!!!!

[seanchenn]

Chris brown beats women

[nbolus92]

It is incredibly refreshing to see an artist in this new musical epoch who is driven solely by an intrinsic motivation to create something beautiful, regardless of fame and fortune (ahem...Chris Brown). Bon Iver deserves recognition, to be sure, but just look at how Justin responded to his accolades. Whether or not his acceptance speech was contrived or sincere, you can tell that he does what he does first and foremost because he truly loves music, and thankfully we can reap the benefits.

[Cemicool]

This is everything that was ever good about music. I'm glad you've got some mainstream recognition at last Bon Iver, because it is completely deserved even though you will always have the devoted niche that's been in love with this musical artistry since the days of Woods and Skinny Love. : )

[koooldude7]

These films are amazing. It's like looking at the world from a different perspective

[veriusROCK]

this is just awesome

[ajmasagca]

My grandfather introduced Elvis to my dad. My dad introduced The Beatles to me. When I grow up and have my own kids then I would introduce them to Bon Iver. :)

[claud828]

I'm so happy he got a Grammy, they did a good job of actually rewarding amazingly talented musicians this year!

[dpskater1]

I used to live a few miles south of Gooseberry Falls. It's so beautiful there.

[gtotheunit91]

Congrats!!! Best New Artist AND Best Alternative Album!!!!! This song should've gotten record and song of the year!!!!

[ethiolove45]

Yayy Best New Artist!

[smmensen]

Congrats for Best New Artist!

[vinny3801]

shoulda won song of the year :(

[TheTbizzledizzle]

Always get goosebumps when I listen to Bon Iver

[diana27563]

Could anyone help me out? I'm doing a homework about Bon Iver and I need to know what Holocene means. xDD I'm from other country, so I don't know English that well! Please help people! ^^

[JohnbineHarvester]

@diana27563 It is the time scale based on rock formation upon which we currently live... Each diffenert surface was given a different name and represents a different time... aslo has links with human living and goes into human history and social evolution... hope that helps

[diana27563]

@JohnbineHarvester Thank you. It helped me a lot! ^^

[leatherneckcod]

cant seem to play this enough or loud enough.........I know I am not magnificent but this song is

[DanielLenzMusic]

Wow... Every once in a while something truly magnificent comes along.

Yeah, I didn't notice the end shot until the second time through. Also the rock turning into the bird gave me goose bumps.

[rrgert4]

this reminds me of Last minutes with Oden

[RaRaRudy20]

Anyone get that feeling of completion or sense of exploration? I do, when I hear and see this song. I want to travel to Iceland; I want to travel anywhere out of the USA, like Europe or Rome. I want to see the World and what it has to offer. My life-long goal is to at least travel to 3 different states. My top 2 are Paris, France and Canada. I do not know why but I have always had the "explore" characteristic. I seek to see new places, and learn new cultures.

[princepoet21]

most music today can hardly move you but this not only moves but trancends

[ToshiroHoshi]

Play this while listening to rainymood(dot)com. It's very relaxing.

[esoj2706]

@ToshiroHoshi Better yet: listen to it while it's raining.

[ToshiroHoshi]

@esoj2706 Yes, that would be very cool; especially if you have a great stereo system.

[idetrick]

Wow...brings chills and tears!! Not since Floyd have I gotten this emotional I over a band....

[SingAndSurf92]

@SingAndSurf92 just found one on chrome web store, my life is complete, i can now die in peace...

[SingAndSurf92]

is there an automatic replay button on youtube?? if there isn't the neeeeed to make one right now

[pax10n9]

@SingAndSurf92 if you put it on it's own playlist you can put it on repeat

[cradl3offilth969]

This song helped keep me away from heroin for 5:32 i have to stay sober and i love this guys voice.

[Sanger500]

I'm driving up to Lake Superior after Bon Iver gets his Grammy for this.

[MYN4M3IS4M3]

Please, calm your tits and enjoy the wonderful music.

[dvalenzuela217]

This song is amazing. Bon Iver for ever -3

[th3giv3r]

I take it back. I don't hate YouTube. I hate its users.

[RoyalRoyale]

@th3giv3r So you hate yourself?

[th3giv3r]

@RoyalRoyale Touche.

[th3giv3r]

P.S. I'm immediately downvoting any mere mention of Twilight (positive or negative or whatever).

[th3giv3r]

Thanks, assholes, for ruining the heart-breakingly beautiful atmospherics of this gorgeous and personal song by discussing popular trash culture. Goddammit, I really hate YouTube sometimes.

[TheAlTono]

Beautiful song deserves beautiful video.

[Joeecclesia7]

awesome...

[RAGEandDUST]

This is not a song, it's a mystical experience.

[soegrendk]

This song made me cry a little when it reminded me of my childhood love, that I never got. But still, ab incredible song with an intimacy that I've seldom heard before. You are truely inspiring, Justin Vernon!

[cheesypleasey123]

Me at 4:30 in the morning with headphones on:

"AND AT ONCE I KNEW I WAS NOT MAGNIFICENT

HIGH ABOVE THE HIGHWAY AISLE

JAGGED VACANCE THICK WITH ICE

I COULD SEE FOR MILES MILES MILEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!"

[GoodTimeJesus]

Awesome!

[Watchyou2008]

@noulteriormotive: thanks my friend Joe to feature this great video, Beautiful ! love it!

[MrDouglasQuaid]

These deluxe vids really complete this release for me. really majestic.

[blackpoollights4]

The very last shot in this video was one of my favorite spots as a kid. (I lived in Minnesota, not far from Gooseberry Falls.) I still can't believe it's in this video....

[LouisWilliamMarlowe]

when the top comment refers to bon iver as a him. ouch. 

[screwyootube1]

@LouisWilliamMarlowe They (the uninitiated) said the same thing about Pink Floyd when they hit #1 on the singles chart with "Another Brick in the Wall (part 2)". They said, "Who is this guy, 'Floyd', and why doesn't he want our kids to get an education?"

[michzimmerman]

@LouisWilliamMarlowe I thought Bon Iver was generally considered a solo project name for Justin Vernon, with additional musicians contributing live and in the studio, much as Sparklehorse was essentially Mark Linkous, Lostwars is essentially Dereck Blackburn, and M83 is essentially Anthony Gonzalez.

Hence, the masculine singular him seems appropriate.

[kinovaron]

Amazing

[JesseRBakerMusic]

His such an inspirational singer/songwriter, the talent is obvious and he has had such an impact on my music, thank you so much Justin Vernon!!

[Yanirys93]

looks like a winter wonderland...beautiful

[loonyleper]

quite amazing what one video does... i always imagined this song as a warm, intimate piece, which it still is when i listen to it on my ipod, but with this video, something amazingly different occurs, this song becomes cold and isolate... and it still works... bravo, mr. vernon... bravo

[777jnp777]

Amazingly beautiful, and that means a lot coming from a guy usually loves classic rock.

[RoseHighDef]

i don't know why, but this almost made me cry.

[uhwaykin]

Anyone else reminded of Do Make Say Think?

[Domenatrice]

I think this is the one bon iver video where all the comments are possitive! How great.

[SethMeFreez]

I fucking love Bon Iver!

[newporta19]

this is prob what heavens like

[KathrynJaneyBabii]

a duluxe version of this song? thankyou god!!!! the images are stunning.

[fender2094]

@KathrynJaneyBabii ya, if you love Bon Iver, you NEED to buy the video accompaniments if you haven't already!

[KathrynJaneyBabii]

@fender2094 ahh yes i will- thanks for the suggestion!!

[sevans171]

hauntingly beautiful ... sigh .. good napping music on a rainy day ..

[mzo24]

the song and video are fucking mesmerizing. and beautiful.

[loonyleper]

wait for it... i'm holocenating ;D

[iheart223]

whoever disliked this has no soul

[adamgore1]

I dont understand people who dislike bon Iver I just dont

[songOmatic]

.... on Lake Huron!

[sheepdawg29]

@songOmatic It's Lake Superior

[songOmatic]

@sheepdawg29 yeah, I meant I grew up on lake Huron... ;p Check out my video I made of one of my own songs.... newest on my channel now.

[songOmatic]

This is such a Great Lakes song... I saw this and reminded me of my childhood when me and a friend would go exploring the frozen mountains and hills created by freezing waves... Wow.

[ParkerNornesMusic]

It might not have any techno synth. or have any bass drops. but its still one of the best. <3

[Ecksplisit]

bon iver will always be amazing regardless of all the mainstream hype he gets.

[TheRyanh17]

Pardon my french, but god damn this is beautiful.

[OverTheBuilding]

reminded me of how beautiful art can be

[umak3m3l0l]

I really do hope he wins record and song of the year for the Grammys.

[johnakma]

this is what music videos should be, complimentary. not a drastic change from the meaning of the song with a distracting storyline and overdone choreography.

[pearlqf]

OMG.....what a great one here.....

[L0L0rox]

I really loved all the beautiful shots minus the spinning of trees. I felt a bit dizzy and sick after that.

[Sh0eB0b]

This is great, but I still think the one on Vimeo is better...vimeo dot com/27307766

[GreatestOfAllTime5]

Original>>>deluxe version video but this is really dope.

[FANTASTICC10]

what kind of camera did you use for these videos?

[1emotionalsunshine]

Timeless...



[jonterranova25]

Most beautiful song written this year

[OneCarnivorous]

ive been there didnt look like that then though

[ZalongMatua]

I bet this is in Iceland again. Fucking beautiful.

[ZalongMatua]

@ZalongMatua Ups, didn't see where it was filmed, my bad.

[dyl706]

Breathtaking.

[umak3m3l0l]

I got chills as if I was there in the video.

[isabona11]

i was doing my uc application. i stopped working.

[Circa3Survive]

Magnifique .

FrenchKiss

[omardipset]

this song for me is like a tribute to 'dear prudance' by the beatles. perfect acoustic, light drums, a beautiful voice and a feeling of greatness

[WeGotOurLipstickOn]

The world is soo beautiful

[JURGMANDR]

repppin MN

[kyle5522]

all these videos make me want to move to Minnesota SO badly

[kaylamillion]

She is allowed to have an opinion.

[g31184]

the one with the kid is good but this one is better. eyegasm.

[3v3aya1a]

Beautiful.

[Turlann]

Honestly, really touching.

[kawlitaisda1]

@2:05 LOOKS AWESOME :O

[WilliamHowardTaftIII]

get out

[queenofrandom4ever]

This sounds like it should be on a twilight soundtrack

[livwho16]

@queenofrandom4ever ~ TAKE IT BACK.

[kennjad]

@queenofrandom4ever aww man... get outta here

[ZeNTRiicKz]

@queenofrandom4ever You are fucking stupid and should die for saying that

[MyDelerium]

@queenofrandom4ever that is an extremely blasphemous comment for those of us who are followers of the Bon Iver religion...SHAME ON YOU!

[DanHoneybun123]

@queenofrandom4ever you've brought shame upon yourself. A public apology will be suffice!

[1kylehill]

@queenofrandom4ever why is that such a bad thing to everyone, geez chill people lol, sure Twilight might be hated by many but some love it, some people might not like Bon Iver and some might love him, I happen to love the original Twilight movie and my reasons are exactly that.. my reasons.. I happen to love Bon Iver as well.. but who cares right? love what you love, hate what you hate but let everyone decide for themselves, we're individual's for God's sake... Love, me

[queenofrandom4ever]

@1kylehill Finally someone gets that I was trying to give a compliment! Thanks(:

[mikeymikemikey1]

@1kylehill Twilight is bad though. It's Just some emo teen girl's wet dream.

[RockschlumpfOo]

@mikeymikemikey1 The books are seriously good... if you just hear from the story it's hilarious and also the movies turn it that way.

[GeraldP1983]

These are all gorgeous!

[igotacos64]

I dont know whether i like this video or the 1 with the little boy better. I think this 1 tho

[yitzyhh]

A beautiful, up close, in & out of focus, slowed & sped, careful exploration of nature, finally permeated with civilization at the finale. Perfect for Holocene. Thank you, Bon Iver.

[myronmyronmyron]

I came.



[ZENZOKI1]

feel asleep wile listening, had one of the most mind blowing dreams.

[UltaBarb]

This is.. perfection.

[terbear177]

Bonnie Raitt is who turned me onto Bon Iver...Love n Light, He lifts my soul with his voice every time, and watching his videos make me embrace the beauty that is all around us and wraps it in a beautiful journey every time, makes me want to feel love...thank you Bon for every journey you take me to every time...

[sammylife12]

0 dislike, nice. very nice.

[3vilPoptart12]

Could this be even more beautiful than the original music video? Of course not. You can't compare two things that are perfect!

[pmaudib]

sublime ...

[TylerMcAbee24]

This is the perfect combination of film and audio. 

[amanda1145]

Chills come over me like waves. Stunning.

[1953northstar]

absolutely love it!!!

[HaleyMarieEnglish]

This is the best one. No words for how it makes me feel.

[Koailo]

:D

[henriktania]

so very nice

[ericbzdick]

i can die happy <3

[mschmidler]

Anyone else thinks this song is perfect for advent and christmas time?

[toastednachos]

@mschmidler No, Blood Bank is. Lyrically it is.

[tummilytumtum]

@toastednachos The cover too haha

[stellabluelulu]

@mschmidler I feel that way for a lot of the songs on this island.

[Ghostfinger45]

Gives me hope in the ocean of crappy music that"s out there . Freakin' beautiful...

[leann0330]

4:41 - Gorgeous

[musicisdivinity]

i feel like every time i blink, i miss something amazing!

[annagaz]

WHY AM I CRYING. this is.beautiful.

not only has he excelled as a musical genius,

[Danc]
