bon iver skinny love live on jools holland.

[certainromance24]

I love Jools Holland's introductions

[nogdenw]

This song moves back and forth from anger and despair like none other I have ever heard. My favorite part is when it fleetingly moves back to love ("Who's gonna love you....") before finally falling back into despair. God damnit i love this song.

[xblanky]

Amazing...

[georgegabriel9]

The one person who disliked this is clearly Emma. Bitch.

[Millsy86]

There will be no other performance that will ever top this on Jools. Emotionally, lyrically, musically. It has everything.

[LollipopsandCrisps81]

1 person has no soul.

This performance is outstanding.

[MrAmishal]

goosebumps

[ncroeder]

@MrAmishal to keep it british like this show, you gotta say goose pimpels

[JackHandysideMusicUK]

he must have closed the show that night, because you'd be making a fool of yourself to perfom after that.

[spwf2]

i have to see him in concert!

[TheFloMonster376]

why hasnt he been knighted yet?

[rath1e]

@TheFloMonster376 Cause he's American for a start.

[11mattwsc]

I've lost track of how many times I've watched this video in the last three days.

[msm89dk]

This performance is amazing! But also notice how everybody in the audience is completely silent.. just listening. Makes it very special

[BoratHIGHFIVE11]

Wow less falsetto more emotion,speechless

[evilmunki54]

the delay in applause is because they were still registering that insane performance.

[hughesdalethomas]

fuck me. one of the great performances in music history.

[nma305]

"Nobody puts Bon Iver in a corner"

[cmatthews926]

He might as well have played with his heart on his lap.

[MrAugustdude]

lol does anyone know where u can get the actual tabs to this song :)

[wingsman26]

I would hate to be the one to follow that performance!

[7777indie]

fucking amazing



[doreme2100]

its so funny whenever he pauses in the song the audience is so rivieted. You can tell they were blown away and not expecting him to be so damn good.

[Maquiladora95]

Even Matt Bellamy would be proud of that falsetto.

[insculldrew]

At 4:26, all I can envision is him sitting in that desolate cabin, recording this song and just breaking the dead silence of the woods with that wolf cry.  Simply amazing.

[scotttaylor192]

fuck birdy

[acwint]

I think the live performance by Bon Iver and Birdy's cover are pretty close as far as intensity goes. If I had to pick I'd say justin Vernon wins out.

[FruscianteRHCPFan]

Magical. 

[HelloSolo]

I only disliked this performance because it made me cry. I didnt want to cry.

[JeannineElizabethlov]

that was very epic and raw!

[blues970123]

so personal!

[IRLKids79]

The news of the new album coming out in June somehow actually made me orgasm more than this video. Just. :D

[01AlanBennett]

I feel really sorry for whoever had to follow that

[JeannineElizabethlov]

@01AlanBennett TRUE THAT!You can even see JACK WHITE getting into it on the sidelines!

[LooseFalcon]

0:42

[clokverkorange]

He should have dropped "Re: Stacks" on them. 

[ChezDecko]

really really good.

[DonniePayback]

1 person has no soul.

[trix2705]

60's sears I think..

[Ozaze3]

Ok, does anyone know what kind of guitar Justin is playing in this video? Cause I'm looking to get one so I can start playing this song right.

[ethanwevans]

Please buy this album, rather than downloading it. Sure it's successful, but relative to how good it is, it has a lot to go.

[jamesbeauman]

Here that silence in between the final note and the crowd clapping?

That was the entire crowd crapping their pants.

[bblive]

just one of those songs you'll take to the grave wishing that you wrote but knowing if you did it would never have been as amazing as it is.

[killarybhoy]

@jszczepaniak I remember that bomb being dropped coz I waz a victim . So raw it hurts man

[davis053]

what i would do to experience the feeling that this video gave me the very first time i watched it. unreal

[trix2705]

loool that goon with the glasses at the start has no idea that jesus is in the room

[sophron7]

Oh... this made me cry. I still don't understand the emotions or what to call them, but I feel them that's for sure.

[catseatingclouds]

i don't know who emma is, but she sure broke bon iver's fucking heart.

[GaynProud2Be]

@catseatingclouds I geuss u are not such a bad person after all..... I think ......HEHE

[OceanAndSilence]

@catseatingclouds ...it's actually singer for the band "nola" and her name isn't emma, but go figure.

[am3847]

holy shit

[halberd123]

Fuck. Me.......

[myawesomequest]

truly the most soul anyone can show.

[bezmolvie]

overrated

[headandflash1]

@bezmolvie Go on then. You make an album like For Emma, For Ever ago.

[bezmolvie]

@headandflash1 lol what are you 13?

[archifiable]

@bezmolvie Unfortunately, you come off as a 13 yr old in your comments and you don't even realize it. Maybe keep your insults to yourself next time. That was a great performance.

[bezmolvie]

@archifiable well i am sorry if that hurt you so badly. but i see no insult in the word "overrated". it does not mean his music is bad, it just means that i think that there are artists who are way better than him, yet they are not as much "talked about", because "gray's anatomy" did not use their song. plus i simply stated my opinion, and i see no reason for you to try to prove to me i am wrong. again, i am sorry if that offended you.

[DenisLD]

@archifiable D'you reckon "overrated" is an insult? I don't think he meant to bash the performance in any way...

[archifiable]

@DenisLD @bezmolvie I guess asking someone if they are a 13 yr old is a compliment these days. You never insulted me or even offended me by expressing your opinion. You belittled your own intelligence with an immature comment.

[archifiable]

@DenisLD Sorry DenisLD. That wasn't for you. I was just merely expressing my opinion. And the insult comment was referring to his second comment.

[Falconcabin]

Man I hope the people that were there that night realise how lucky they were to see that perfomance

If I could only listen to one album for the rest of my life then with out a shadow of doubt it would be For emma, for ever ago its just too perfect!!

[ilovemutemath]

was this his TV debut?

[hoonageness]

i spy jack white

[speedybill47]

@hoonageness I was looking for someone else who noticed Jack :)

[OceanAndSilence]

3:20

anyone know what that says?

[Chrisinti]

@OceanAndSilence Sullen load is full, so slow on the spit.

[OceanAndSilence]

@Chrisinti no no! i know the lyrics, i'm not that stupid. look at his chest, when the camera moves upwards, he has a tattoo... unless it's hair or some shit.

[ourbearskins]

@OceanAndSilence definitely a tattoo

[OceanAndSilence]

@ourbearskins yer i know.. but what does it say?

[jackhatescows]

that was seriously the most emotional performance i have ever seen in my life.

Just pure amazing that was!

[jonnyblack69]

This is insane!

[jszczepaniak]

I love this version with the introduction by Jools, because it's so fun to see how they all have no clue about the bomb that Justin was about to drop on them. you don't get over a performance like this. it's one of those performances they teach about in music classes and people tell their grandkids about.

[Rockafellaton]

very nicely put, it was fun, he really did drop a bomb, that was the best bon iver performance ive ever seen...

[HaavardPaavard]

Agreed! It's a "Where were you when Bon Iver performed Skinny Love at Jools Holland"-kind of performance!

[meercatuk]

@jszczepaniak Much as I love the Bon Iver album, I can't help but feel your comment is just a little disingenuous. Jools might come across as he does, but he's a genuine muso and has played on pieces just as poignant in their own way. His talent is bringing non-mainstream artists (such as Bon Iver) to the mainstream audience - audience members such as Roland Revron are there to show that you don't have to be elitest to enoy (or be introduced to) great music.

[jszczepaniak]

@meercatuk I love Jools Holland! He's not only talented at bringing new, good music, but he's an excellent musician in his own right. Trust me, I mean no offense toward him or his guests. It's just that they're going along with their witty, light banter, and then Justin drops this heavy performance. I watch Later... alot, and many of the performances (even the good ones) are pretty light and pleasant.

[meercatuk]

@jszczepaniak OK - you're cool. I'm no great fan of Jools' style myself but I appreciate what he does and the work he puts in

[andersonmanu]

this performance is something special

[jfidajoiiejrjj]

So raw. So beautiful.

[richuea]

fucking awesome, cheers for uploading

[keflar5]

cheers for this great clip

[creamedge]

Its a shame I want to buy his cd but I can't find it anywhere.

[madrhys123]

Google For emma forever ago - bon iver, you get loads of results (:

Great album ive gotta add
