Bon Iver - Beth/Rest (piano)

[Firebiird]

I love that 'Tom Waits' sound in the beginning. What an incredible talent.

[moamaori]

The World's got a new music icon with Justin Vernon... he's astonishing!

[ITACwainwright]

Beautiful Version, Think the album version Tops this though, Or actually the version he plays with Carey at Air Studios which is on here. Either way top top musicians.

[06grobin]

So, so beautiful. 'Pry it open with your love' *melts*

[64ccd]

This may be just the most honestly emotional recording of a voice on youtube.

[STIRofSOULS]

this makes me want to learn piano so bad

[telf10]

@STIRofSOULS this is so easy on piano!

[dachameloleon]

@telf10 is it really? if you know how to play it, you should post a tutorial video!! lol...

[telf10]

@dachameloleon haha na man. there's already a good one on youtube! have a good look for it though, took me a while and i can't find it now :/ but yeah, left hand, A D D F# D for most of it. then right hand, keep your finger on the a and just mess around with other notes. and your set! too easy haha

[Aleph1022]

AMAZING...really like the album version, but this one beats it in my opinion (wish people put this much emotion in all facets of music, instead of this phony made up teen emotional pop and egotistical rap all across the radio)

[Sharpoon1]

This version causes me a problem, I can't decide if I prefer it to the original

[WhyDoesSheLoveHim]

I am trying not to bawl all of a sudden and I don't know why.

[kjw1993]

he should play piano more often, this and 'I cant make you love me' are definitely two of his best performances

[thatoneeyedkid]

wow this is so heartbreakingly beautiful. oh my god. wow.

[iamoneilly]

Bon Iver completes me. What would I have done without them?

[TheJonesy0605]

If Justin Vernon asked me to marry him, I would say yes without the slightest hesitation.

Telling my girlfriend would be the difficult bit.

[kc42291]

Just kidding. This is absolutely beautiful.

[kc42291]

Is this Justin Vernon or Tom Waits?

[joeycogan]

this is one of those songs that you have to hear again, and every time you do it hurts just a little bit more in the best possible way

[mirath94]

whaat? i'm sorry is that justin vernon singing the begining??

[TheSeanFW]

@mirath94 Yeah, he has a deep voice. Check out his band from college Deyarmond Edison, you will hear his deeper voice.

[NewYorkcitychicc]

Man, I'm in love.

[jonathanhggns]

Put some hornsby in the scene

[MrDouglasQuaid]

People need to show Phil Collins some more respect, absolute pimp

[MrTerribleClaw]

200 time better than the album version.

[adamgore1]

I will never get tired of this NEVER

[CIancyy]

HE MUST HAVE LIKE A 9 BILLION OCTAVE RANGE WHAT THE HELL

[HammerDrew]

Unreal.

[chrismasonyerblooz]

Love it. It's the best song Phil Collins never wrote. I'd actually like to hear Phil cover this.

[Fortissimoto]

This is devastating

[realndnreal]

"i ain't livin' in the dark no more" is my favorite line.

[leopardface1]

@realndnreal funny how 7 words can bring so much emotion.

[PMADqueen92]

This is scary beautiful.

[jamsie2100]

i prefer the album version actually

[jaaclynnnn]

5 seconds into it i lose it

[ennabird]

"pry it open with you love" kills me every time.

[Sameluv]

That is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.

[onthewalkoffame]

This song really shows off what an amazing vocal range he has.

(Oh yeah, and I sobbed as well. Like a baby)

[CreatureFear0]

2:57

[leopardface1]

@CreatureFear0 ?

[123Peat1]

this may be my favourite song of bon iver's

[hupbla87]

good to know I'll be crying all night until I fall asleep and then probably wake up to cry just a bit more in the morning now

[dillarooke]

where is the "repeat-for-the-rest-of-my-lif­e" button?

[dillarooke]

oh my god that is REAL Music. What a genious. Bon Iver could you please rescue the music industry? With so much love......

[moniqueislegit]

1:23 Makes me break down. No joke.

[moniqueislegit]

Dowload link??!!

PLEASE, DEAR GOD, PLEASE!

[Liiammm3]

@moniqueislegit Google youtube to mp3 converter.. :)

[thepruss1an]

for the love of god and all that is holy, can someone who isn't tone deaf like me please make a tutorial for this??

[CreatureFear0]

0 dislikes. need I say more.

[SicknesssDwellls]

The missed note at 4:41 just makes this song for me.

[LeNouveauVillage]

This is so beautiful. It's just so beautiful.

[ash898]

ugh this is just beyond beautiful.

[MrGreatsuccess]

why does Bon Iver try to sound like Phil Collins on the album, when he can something as beautiful as this?

[TheOutsyder]

tears. tears. and more tears.

[gooph5]

i wish the whole album sounded just like this....

[Liiammm3]

@gooph5 So do I... Search this in youtube:

Justin Vernon (of Bon Iver) @ New Yorker Festival, 10/17/09

Enjoy mate.

[Gaberrz]

:( i love him!

[thetrapezeswinger1]

this is what beth/rest would sound like if it were on for Emma hahah. i was searching some bon iver videos trying to learn how to play them and i stumbled across this cover i thought it was pretty cool. cause it didn't sound like he just learned to play the song and put it on youtube haha. it sounds like his own. check it out. i felt like being nice and trying to get his views up. youtube . com /watch?v=Y9cDnvv8RHk

[hamlet3145]

@thetrapezeswinger1 This isn't a cover. It's him live on NPR.

[thetrapezeswinger1]

@hamlet3145 Haha i know. i was saying the link i gave in my comment was a cover i actually enjoyed out of the thousands of covers on Youtube.

[TheRedShiftOfficial]

the accidental at 4:42 makes the song for me :)

[aurorakem]

It's sad how there aren't many views here.. oh well their loss, our gain.

[radicalsquadron]

i think i like this version better than the album version....

[lalalaalydia]

Thank you SO much for uploading this. Beautiful.

[LaVidaStartsHere]

hits harder than chuck norris beats

[Wall042]

@conman9090 Same here.. This version is simply beautiful.

[katem3]

must. not. cry.

[LaurenAquilinaMusic]

[conman9090]

First song I've ever cried during. :')

[SuperFlightBird]
