one time i smoked weed, and someone told me i was supposed to walk around do stuff because that was the fun part of smoking, when really all i wanted to do was listen to music, think, and just let my whole spirit free through music. It's another level, i dont smoke for the fun of it, its more than that, people who dont undertand are scared to know the truth.
I've watched this video at least....thirty times and I never noticed the joint until I just read comments about it. I guess I was too entranced by the music. On another note, I bet Justin smokes some good ass weed.
wow totally lost respect for this band now that I know they use drugs. Drugs always make music get worse. And theyre doing something illegal. Such a disappointment.
@verdenodela1 Funny you say drugs make music get worse. I think it's the other way around: I think you make drugs worse than they are.
The appreciation you had for this music didn't suddenly erase from history when you discovered they condone drugs. You still *had* respect for them. The music didn't change, the band didn't change, the past didn't change.
Your opinion did.
Drugs *may* ruin your live. But they may also enrich it.
@verdenodela1 uh, verdonodela, i bet half of the most influential bands in the past 50 years have done drugs at one point or another, and its their choice if they want to do it, and its not like its heroin or anything,
@verdenodela1 First, you don't necessarily know that isnt a cigarette. Seond, its not a cigarette.... but still. Third, marijuana is being legalized in most states for medical use as well as being legalized for recreational use. Nobody has ever died smoking weed. Compare alcohol and weed, like actually try both. Notice that when your high, all you want to do is sit listen to music and eat. Drugs make music better.
That place where they just try to hit everything in reach with everything they can, that's just chaos music man! I was playong tetris listening to the Bon Iver soundtrack, when suddenly that part comes up. I lost entire game cause of the destructive composition of the music. Man! that is i'll how you can do that. Chaos and harmony in one song.
Someone can have good voice, someone can have awesome voice, like Birdy or anyone on this world, but Bon Iver has voice and emotions and feelings and everything what I am looking for in music. He is genious.
I did a cover of this song today and it would really be awesome by you guys if you check it out if you have read this comment!

@BonIverSUCKS Dude, really it pains me to see negatives comments on a Bon Iver. But if you dislike the sound and the band then please keep to what you know best.
OMG I’m glad I found this man!!! I was listening to ellie goulding cover of this song and the youtubers said the original was by bon iver so I had to look it up. His voice had such an exceptionally beautiful and raw impact on me I got dizzy.
If anyone has any tickets for the show in Toronto this summer they would be willing to sell i would be willing to pay a good price for some. I was to late to buy tickets and as far as i know, there sold out. I will be standing outside the sound academy trying to get tickets all night. I owe my life to this man... haha
Hmm, ya, easy on the drumkit towards the end methinks, sounded a bit messy, I know that's what it sounds like on the album, but really doesn't work here. On the album, the way it's produced is amazing, makes it sound like fireworks. Here, just a bit haphazard. But still, got to love Bon Iver.
@ANeonTiger Yeah i think the same, still pretty "speciall" part of the song, dont you think? :) I think it's cool with something new. Hard to match something to make it sound like the songs from the album.
@dreamtheaterfan25 It's head voice...falsetto is when you thinen out your voice. You can't have much power when you sing in falsetto; he does have alot of power!
For those Trailer Park Boys fans-that is one of Ricky's 6 paper joints hahaha
