Bon Iver cover- Ellie Goulding.

[ticklemyfancybaby]

oh my god.

[Fajita550]

Everyone, stop gettin mad at people for voicin their opinions. If you think about it, its like someone saying they like a certain music, and you saying to them "your wrong, im right. And thats that." Its not that i even like this version, but im not saying i dont. Im just saying, please just lay off people for not liking the exact same music that you do.

amen

[kwfurlong149]

i dont like this one. i feel the bon iver one is better because it's a fuller sound. this one just doesnt do it for me.

[allgoodthings3nd]

This is perfect, and I don't think either one is better than the other.

[WhoWritesTheseSongs]

flawless queen

[20forgetmenot]

While I respect all interpretations of songs, being it a very personal thing, I still think the original is the best.

[TheSoundDiamond]

this is great



[solangi224]

i don't get why people get so mad that people say they don't like this. I mean, that's what comments are for right? Sharing your opinion? Theres a like, AND a dislike button for a reason.

[airynis]

As a huge Bon Iver fan, and a fan of people taking their own artistic license with songs I think this is beautiful. Thank you Ms. Goulding for your contribution.

[OliviaRAWRR27]

wonderful.

[scoped22]

GAH!!! im sorry i totally disliked this. i'm aware she's not bon iver, and i'm not against covers in general. its just like.. my opinion man

[BlueFire573]

this is actually amazing!



[hannahmeatsixox]

This is gorgeous :}

[Shnapsforthefool]

Just beautiful, so so beautiful

[samiehouska]

this is amazing

[allyrae4444]

this is a cover, not a song on her CD. she is most likely doing this song out of love for bon iver. both songs are lovely in my opinion.

[SelenaLover097]

For everybody who has a problem with this cover, Ellie Goulding NEVER said 'Yes, I think I can sing exactly like Justin Vernon'. She covered this song because it made her cry, and she wanted to stop herself from crying. You Bon Iver fans have looked into there music deeply, can't you do the same to Ellie?

[hotcoffee15]

@SelenaLover097 Don't get me wrong, I like Ellie's music, but she did this song absolutely NO justice. And I know that a cover doesn't have to be sung exactly like the original, this just sounds like it's too much fancy effects and not enough soul/emotion/voice.

[jojojet90]

the first note of this song brought tears to my eyes. I love this song It is my fav Bon Iver song and she does this song soo much justice.

[prettymiarose]

was gonna leave a comment but really its all rubbish lol whos gonna really read or care?

[annitiabonghit]

@prettymiarose I would care I mainly just read comments

[electric0eel]

This is great but bon iver is deff better!

[michigan1219]

@electric0eel is rather see her with City and Colour but either way it would be awesome to see her with either one

[jakem4444]

They need to do a duet

[u13blazers]

@freaaa1 oh boo hoo, get a life that keeps you happy enough not to hate the world. Ellie is classic talent :)

[songline145]

its like a song you'd hear of romeo and juliet or something...

[TheVolcom107]

the fact is it's a horrible cover

[br0kenmachine97]

this song is amazing.

[whopperRC]

i hate really long comments... i never read them, even the top comment.. i didnt read it :)

[eddiemarriott]

I love Ellie Goulding in general, but her early stuff is fantastic folk music, she's such a good song writer and she uses folk styled music a lot in songs like 'Wish I Stayed' fantastic; I think she should record a small acoustic album like Bombay Bicycle Club or Bon Iver.

[freaaa1]

this neophyte probably thought the song was about red riding hood getting eaten by wolves. i guarantee she had NO IDEA what this song was about, and has never even felt the depths of the emotion it conveys. so then of course it only makes sense to mechanically manipulate and enhance the vocals. the only redeeming value this song has is to introduce others to real music, like that of bon iver.

[Sup3rMegaNerd]

Also i must ask, if you could sing like Ellie could and The wolves was your favorite song, wouldn't you cover it too?

If you felt like you had to cover it wouldn't you? Or would you tell yourself "No way i'm singing that song it's too good to be covered"

No you wouldn't, you would definitely cover it if you could sing so quit the bullshit peeps.

[Sup3rMegaNerd]

I remember when i heard this, i downloaded it from youtube and replayed it a thousand times.

I never knew who bon iver was until i heard this, so thank you for introducing me to another amazing artist Ellie.

Since i heard ellies version first i prefer hers but bon iver is amazing too, obvs since he made this song.

Also to everyone who is complaining that it sucks or that you shouldnt touch a perfect song that is so stupid, it's just music stop taking it so seriously.

[thishereguitar13]

I love this song....I didnt know she covered this. Wow.Its almost as beautiful as the original <3

[MrsssChuck21]

@jabbawokina thank you:) it's lovely isn't it! Xx

[MrsssChuck21]

bring up another link, type rainymood in and click the first one. and play together:)

[JabbaWokina]

@MrsssChuck21 that is fucking brillian! well done!

[JabbaWokina]

@MrsssChuck21 that is fucking brilliant! well done!

[dayv123]

@MrsssChuck21 Very nice.

[Simonfranzen]

@MrsssChuck21 Kick-fckin-ass tip right there. Thnx!



[AmberWood0524]

@MrsssChuck21 awesome :)



[MrsssChuck21]

@AmberWood0524 thanks, just realised i had 106 likes...thanks guys:)

[TheSecretflies]

i'll always love the original better, but this is a beautiful cover and i'm a big fan of ellie.:)

[ColorsOfTheRainbowM]

ah! amazing

[guitarguy182182182]

this is a really great cover...but after watching her cover another favourite of mine, 'Don't Panic' by Coldplay, i think that although her covers are technically good/original/pretty they take all of the imperfections out of the songs, which was what i loved about the originals...shame

[Gulleplutten987]

it SUCKS!!!!!

[Tiege5]

no



[plev9001]

This is a great cover... I wish she could do the entire album. her voice is amazing.. it would give a new perspective to "For Emma, Forever Ago".

[Loveisallyouneed73]

If you like Ellie and Bon Iver, check out a cover of "Skinny Love" by Birdy- she's fourteen. Yay for good music!!

[SelenaLover097]

i love the original and i love this:) bon iver has such a raw emotional voice, and ellie has a beautiful floaty voice. both versions are as a good as each other.

[thejayrush]

@SelenaLover097 everythng you said is definatly true, but his name is justin vernon ;)

[SelenaLover097]

@thejayrush oops sorry! i've never really listened to him much just 'the wolves':)

[thejayrush]

@SelenaLover09 really? hes got some other projects as well, volcano choir, the gayngs, DeYarmond Edison,justin vernon, jd vernon, mount vernon, my freind, you are in for a treat

[ImmaStarx]

This version is beautiful, but the way she says you and through at the end of the sentences bugs the hell outta me!

[Gabriellaella23]

I will always love both versions. They're both just beautiful :)

[papercut1131]

Its good. I love her voice. But how dare she cover this song!! >:O 

[LiveForMusic777]

fucking what? sorry, because i know people like this cover and i completely respect that, but i don't. really really don't. the original of this song is so so so beautiful, bon iver has one of the most raw and emotional voices, and i think that for someone-anyone-else to try and recapture that emotion is just dangerous.

[soccergirl20107]

Can someone please tell me what this song is about?

[stylishsid]

@soccergirl20107 I feel like i read somewhere that when he wrote this album, he wrote the music and let the words flow, the meaning doesn't translate through the words so much as the singing. I think it means something different to each person.

[stylishsid]

@Sup3rMegaNerd :O they laughed?!

[michaeljameswilson]

This is Beautiful!

[SplinterCell37]

I don't care what people say, I love both versions. <3

[MsJonelia]

Das Lied ist guuuuuut! =)

[babybossybootz]

No Offence Ellie....But No One Can Do This Anywhere As Good As Bon Iver :/

[tummilytumtum]

@babybossybootz did you not read EskimoHoax's comment?

[babybossybootz]

@tummilytumtum yes i did...i was simply just giving my opinion...no artist should attempt to cover a song without the intention of doing it better .

[TheAH213]

SUCH A SAD SONG :'(

[xgoodnightsunrise]

Reminds me of CocoRosie.

[BethKemp]

i love her!!

[superblisa]

i've not heard the original, but judging by the comments it's waaaaaaay better.

i fucking love this cover though, her voice is beautiful.

[camillajanes]

I like both versions a lot.. but i think the original wins over my heart

we did a cover of this song similar to this version,

if you have the time, please check out my channel and feedback would be really appreciated :) thanks

[oh8seven]

Not feeling this...

[Lanallaby]

@oh8seven me neither

[ewelllle]

what the fuck is yall problem.. she is the cover queen. and so much better on her own songs. but that's everybody. her voice sounds like autotune, that's freakin impressive. i luv everything about her. everything.

[digitalblue00]

I think Ellie's cover is amazing. i love her.

[TheReservoirduck]

Not saying it's bad, it'd probably be really good if I hadn't heard Bon Iver's original.

However Bon Iver just makes this song so much more heartfelt and sentimental, than this.

[Bam2604]

fuck ellie goulding and her song-destroying covers.

[VistasChangeNB]

So many haters, it's a cover you trolls :-) now go and hate on my cause that's what you do best :p

[HoundsOfLove1]

i have to admit, i dont really get the hype around ellie goulding, but i dont think she "ruins" it. if i had a good voice i'd be belting out bon iver songs too.

[Kirstyy137]

the first time i heard this it made me cry, sadly the last time i hear this i wont be able to cry, because it will be at my funeral

[Butterjj2201]

She has ruined an amazingly perfect song.

why...WHHHHYYYYYYY?!

[hoonageness]

this is fucking shit, i hate everything about this, i want this to have never existed, fuck off

[MUSE773]

Beautiful....Thank You Ellie

[sallyali8]

im gona admit..i never heard the original so i abso fell in love with this from the min i found it. It was from finding this that led me to bon iver and have to say i love the 2 different versions.

[IsThisNameGone]

this is absolutely shite. beyond shite, in fact.

[ardBLUD1]

@IsThisNameGone you 

[ardBLUD1]

@IsThisNameGone you rly dont have a good taste of music do you

[IsThisNameGone]

@ardBLUD1 ...i'm not even going to justify this insanity with a proper answer.

[rareflorence]

i don't know why everyone's on about her 'destroying' it... bon iver will always own it, but that's because it's his song. this was a very good rendition and she put her own spin on it and it worked well.. good job ellie!

[melodel2]

Sorry but..this is not worth my time *mutes* I don't think she should have covered this. Justin Vernon's is great, but this is not good.

[kd871]

I think this cover and Bon Iver's original are both beautiful.

Great job. and thank you @elliegoulding20 for posting this!

[muffinluver2973mex]

Mmm I dont think that she ruined it but the Original is Better

[imsoyhappy]

CAN SHE PLEASE STOP KILLING SONGS!

[ssojjoss]

I respect Ellie Goulding as I now know she understands real music. Bon Iver cannot be beaten, but she has given it a good shot.

[sheilafairlamb]

I am a HUGE fan of Bon Iver, and I've never really understood the whole Ellie Goulding thing. However, this is beautiful. Bon Iver will never be beaten but this is a good try. At the end of the day a beautiful song should be covered. Let the masses hear it, discover Bon Iver and appreaiate his brilliance.

[MusicAntagonist]

I heard this song on "United States of Tara" and fell right in love with her voice.

[jacktennesee]

Its not a faulty cable, its the percussion at the end like in the original

[ElishaSwan]

Her voice is nice on its own, itd be better without a vocoder, its a good attempt but the original had a better sound and sounds more real. its still really good though, plus its getting the original more noticed

[ElishaSwan]

Her voice is nice on its own, itd be better without a vocoder, its a good attempt but the original had a better sound and sounds more real. its still really good though

[sam9sam9sam9sam123]

Doesn't beat Bon Iver, but still more than beautiful <3

[notoriously0]

throwdown of the hipsters let's go

[honkyxadonis]

@notoriously0 lol

[rcf789]

its snowing ever so lightly outside :)

[RachaelxRose]

*If you open two windows and start the original of this song by Bon Iver and then start Ellies cover (lower volume than Ivers) about 46 seconds into bon ivers song...... you will hear `*angels*` harmonizing through your speakers.......<3*

[Ziggylikesmusic]

@RachaelxRose bloody immense mix!

[RachaelxRose]

@Ziggylikesmusic Ah yes! thanks for commenting and reminding me about this

[SpillCity]

this song is beautiful, and this cover is beautiful.

[Gielio1993]

GOD ignorant people! stop saying it sucks as for not being as good as whatever, its a COVER not a try out for beating the original -.- get a brain and some sense, imo i find the original less nice because: i prefer female singers for some reason, and this one sounds sweeter in general (ohnoes now im dumb and bladibla) thanks

[clinnett9]

shit, another person has touched perfection with their mucky little hands.

[BladeAndSoul]

@clinnett9 Do you have the right to say that when you have no clue what so ever?

I assume you don't when you make a stupid comment like that, whenever someone says "OMG DONT TOUCH THIS SONG YOU SHOULD NEVER SING A SONG BY BON IVER" you clearly have no idea about music.

An amazing song should be sung by as many as possible artists because if you get to hear the song in different versions it's only awesome, and there is always the original if you don't like the covers so quit crying.

[jadeo92]

ok yeah its not as good as the original, but its no where near as bad as people are making it out to be, its a very good cover and people are being too judgemental 

[papatia]

this...er...sucks ass

[agentapathy]

she made it too abrupt and insensitive. i like her an awful lot, but she got a little careless with this cover.

[Ukwonderboy]

Just listen to that Autotune!...No offense to the girl...I think she has a great voice...but not for this at all!

[BladeAndSoul]

@Ukwonderboy That's an echo added to her voice not auto tune lol.

[AstrayQQ]

man that was horrible

[EskimoHoax]

In an interview she said that she cried every time she heard this song... she wanted to cover it to see if it would stop her crying... i don't care if she can't cut, i don't care if it isn't a touch on the original... the fact this song had such an impact on her and has led her to cover it is such a beautiful thing in itself.

[Gielio1993]

@EskimoHoax this sounds dumb but your comment should have more thumbs up than the above hehe

[EskimoHoax]

@Gielio1993 thank you, just trying to shut up all the twats that complain she shouldn't sing this!

[aymes22]

It's making me cry!

[amandasgoodfeathers]

@EskimoHoax > Thank You. - Amanda



[souslesfemmes]

ouch.

[SydneyMH2011]

bon iver is brilliant and so is this song, and i think she is possibly the only person who can redue it in such a beautiful way,. her voice is heaven sent and the first time i heard this i got chills from it. i was in complete awh, and not im obsessed. Best cover ive seen.

Much love<3

[LikeStrawberryBlood]

27 people are Bon Iver fans.

[Lawes27]

this would be really good, if it wasn't bon iver already!

[ODDITYSOX]

I think this cover is breathtaking...its raw and shes put all her emotion into it as she does with all her songs! its been faved for me!! :) thanks for uploading!

[sumkindawunnerful]

THIS IS SHITTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYY

[molmolmolface]

@sumkindawunnerful 2 RYT LOL

[TheEllieChicken]

its just brilliantly written. A cat could sing a masterpiece if bon iver wrote it. however i think ellie goudling suits it, eeeerie! love them both

[bedheadbread]

Guys she probably loves the song as much as you and Bon Iver! So she just took a swing at it.. We all love singing songs we love, so take it as a compliment on his music and stop listenin if you dont like it.

[PBSITIMMY]

no way...shh stop singing, bon ivor admittedly gets a lil boring when u obsess over him but he does what he loves and does it well. You do not!

[HibouDeMatin]

The endings in her phrasing are too abrupt. It's really distracting. Pretty voice, nothing else really. Real musicians would've been sensitive to the musical phrasing. It's beginner stuff. Really Ellie?

[EskimoHoax]

Literally just cried listening to this. Takes alot for me to be moved by something like this. Magical stuff. Never ceases to amaze me the perfection of Ellie's voice.

[kelsothebum1]

@EskimoHoax If you haven't, you should listen to the original. This version is awesome, but nothing can beat the original.

[EskimoHoax]

@kelsothebum1 I heard Bon Iver's....loved it too, but both got me in different ways to be honest... :)

[imnicola]

This is interesting... Ellie Goulding is my favourite female artist and Bon Iver is my favourite male artist. I was extremely excited when I saw this had been covered by her...

And as much I wanted to love it it didn't quite cut it. Ellie is still outstanding, but Bon Iver is what makes his music magical.

[purplepanther35]

I think this cover would be great if she didn't do that sudden stop at the end of every phrase. she needs to hold out the end a littlle more, but respectable. I would recommend checking out the Hulk Mash Ellie Goulding vs Jackson five

[twileyao]

not my favourite Biver song though she sung it greatly

[RhiT18]

i like it

[danyjr]

That's how you destroy a good song, get an indie whore singing it.

[lostit2bostik]

Some things should just be left alone :/

[BladeAndSoul]

1:19 - 3:14 <333333333

[AriadneOfficialMusic]

If I have to be honest, I like the cover more than the original.

You have to remind that she recorded this song in her basement...

[edwardgbell]

@AriadneOfficialMusic And Bon Iver recorded in a Shed. Are you saying Shed trumps Basement? I'll have to get out my old Domestic Area Top Trump cards.

[AriadneOfficialMusic]

@edwardgbell

I have no idea about what you are talking :)

[Cashelboy12]

@AriadneOfficialMusic u sir are an idiot

[AriadneOfficialMusic]

@Cashelboy12

Nope, I'm just a fan

[TheUndisclosedDesire]

this sucks

[Creamy360]

raped.

[xiiloveYho]

ii LoVe ThiiSs CoVer!

[pissepis]

I fucking love Ellie Goulding, but this doesn't cut it in anyway. Bon iver shouldn't be touched

[robzombie676]

@pissepis

oh piss off..

gosh..

i love justin vernon

i love ellie..

both are one of the biggest talents of our time..

if she wants to make cover.. let her be! your negative opinion is useless!

peace

[XDTaraa]

No.

[EstMeaVita2011]

Never

[YouSuckAndYouKnowIt]

this is horrible!

[L0VESTRUCK]

doesnt have the emotion - not a bad cover though, shes got the right sort of voice to cover it, original way better though!

[CygnusOlor90]

I never really disliked ellie goulding and I still don't... She's a great talent BUT... There's some artists it's near impossible to cover and do them justice... For me this just doesn't cut it...

[luckoflindsay]

I adore this. The more I listen to her I just melt! Her voice is soothing and great to listen to.

[indusvalleytrooper]

I saw Ellie on the London Underground yesterday! Looking beautiful as expected!

[fasterkillmaddy]

I'm a huge Bon Iver fan and I absolutely love this. Yes it's different but that's exactly what a cover is supposed to be. It's her interpretation of the song and I think that she made a superb cover. She's able to sing the same song but convey a totally different meaning. Brilliant.

[elliemakesmusic]

i adore this cover. <3

[musicaaa26]

I lovee itt.... I made a cover of Blood Bank song, Okay, far from the original :p

[1ataloss1]

i dont know why so many people hate this...i love both versions. theyve just got different feels to them. id listen to bon ivers version if i felt sad and pensive. id listen to ellies version if i was feeling uninspired and needed a pick-me-up.

[EstMeaVita2011]

Absolutely not

[potatojoanne]

its got a churchy preachy kinda feel to it :)

[TheModuin]

Way to hectic,and even though she is a good singer, she is completely unable to capture the emotion,plus the climax is wack. Ruined the song.

[Hannibalde2de]

It's ok, but if you listen to the original version of Bon Iver, this is awfull. The climax is totally taken away!

[Paulieamelie]

its so beautiful.♥

[bubbleowa]

i love this ! <3
