Bon Iver's second album has been getting me through this rough patch in my life. His words and lyrics encourage so much emotion. This will always be my favorite song. This song will always mean this much to me. I am sure this song and live performance has changed many people's lives. A true lyrical genius. Will always remember this as the song.
I love the difference between the typical European audience in comparison to Americans. I've been watching countless videos where we Americans are just screaming our heads off before and during the performance, trying to find any moment of silence to scream, just ruining the whole vibe of the song. This audience respectfully sat through one of the best live performances ever.
2:45 should come with a gawdamn warning label: "Prepare to have your mind blown."
By the way, how the fuck does this have only 53k views, but Justin Bieber's "Baby" song has 713million? Travesty.

For some reason, the way he sang "This order's tall" at 1:30 just made me cry

Just this "Fuck the music industry, I've got a story to tell, so let me tell it" music. Amazing, just genius. Thank you Bon Iver

Musician. Not entertainer. Musician. Pure and raw talent. The kind without pop background, autotuned voice, glitter 'n shit...
