Bon Iver- Calgary

[singSINGsingbrielleR]

his songs are so pure and relaxing and the lyrics have such strong meanning.. one of my favorite artist:)

[jackoe123]

When the lyrics say " There's a fire going, there's really nothing to the south" Does he mean the united states are nothing? I think so, fuck America!

[777jnp777]

@jackoe123 What are you a Canadian 12 year old? He was referring to North Carolina.

[jackoe123]

@777jnp777 that still means the states are nothing, jokes, poop you all smell like dirty shit and ruined the world.

[seriousguynogames3]

Best song of 2011.

[song2poem2piano2life]

This is a hipster song.. but I knew about it before all of the hipsters even did. I must be a super hipster...

[singSINGsingbrielleR]

trully amazing artist!:)

[grantybert]

@ownagepwnagemaster no dude im sorry for putting that comment i must have been drunk or somthing. that was a douche of a comment for me to put. my bad

[maxcady5]

@grantybert i liked your comment until you apoligized for it . weak dude .

[merriespun]

oh my gosh the lyrics of the song is fricken amazing!!!!!!

[SoMusic15]

hey everyone! i did a cover of this song and it's up on my youtube page. i almost guarantee you'll enjoy it, i spent a good amount of time mastering the track so...hopefully the hard work will pay off.

if you've got a minute, feel free to drop by and give it a hear. much love, and thanks to bon iver for the fantastic music!!

[grantybert]

i smoked pot with bon iver

[ownagepwnagemaster]

@grantybert were u and him blazing that shit up every day?

[stewlegg]

@grantybert well thats pretty god damn sick

[VentraleStar]

@grantybert You should've made love not drugs with him.

[ChrisHoglund]

Fuck people who hate music just because its "Mainstream".

A LOT OF GOOD MUSIC IS MAINSTREAM FOR A REASON. BECAUSE ITS FUCKING GOOD! The GOD DAMN BEATLES WERE MAINSTREAM AT ONE POINT!

[mirath94]

@ChrisHoglund yeah but the diff is disliking songs specifically made to sell (tik tok) and songs which are awesome and so they sell like the beatles

[markgundy]

@MsJehosaphat this album isn't sad, actually it's very hopeful. i think your cynicism is actually pretty depressing my man :/

[ThunderandRain24]

if your gonna shit talk bon iver, fuck off to some other page so people who actually appreciate him dont have to read your shit. if you dont like if, fuck off. and why are you wasting your time commenting if you think hes 'sad', 'objectively crap' and 'lame'?

[pinkielad]

i can never get over the pureness in their voice

[eatPUDDINGcowboy]

@MsJehosaphat get that stick out of your ass. Justin is a fucking riot and this is coming from someone who grew up in the same city as him. He's super bomb and just because you have nothing better to do then put down music that you shouldn't be listening to on youtube, doesn't mean that the dude can't write music.

[thirawryt]

Bon Iver. You are the man.

[Mateu89]

It's okey, Bon Iver is a nice singer :)

[SkaterSerbia]

@Mateu89 Bon Iver is not a singer, it's a band.

Justin Vernon is a singer of Bon Iver.

[Mateu89]

@SkaterSerbia Bon Iver is not a band?

[LookItsColette]

@Mateu89 Bon Iver is a band. A one man band, but a band nonetheless.

[SkaterSerbia]

@Mateu89 Yes it is a band.

"Bon Iver is a band founded in 2007 by American indie folk singer-songwriter Justin Vernon."

Enough said.

[markgundy]

@Mateu89 IT WAS -was- alright, just a solo project by vernon, and a couple friends lent hands- but, for the most part for emma was a completely isolated album created by Justin Vernon. Blood bank EP ventured out a bit more and let some people become a part..Now, with Bon Iver, Bon Iver justin has brought in a great backing band filled with some of the most talented musicians..it is completely and utterly now, a band. Justin said he couldn't have produced this without him and it's true.

[thebenjamins77]

This song is so sad.... once i finally understood the underlying message it brought the song to a totally different level. Wow.

[superfive15]

2:28 <3

[kagrs]

I heard this track on the radio and was immediately interested. However, I misheard the radio host and thought the debut album was called "Fame or Forever go".

- Imagine my surprise, after searching the internet thin, when I figured the album was actually called "For Emma, Forever Ago"

[anotherhana]

@kagrs his firs album was called for emma, forever ago, this is a song from the new album

[kagrs]

@anotherhana Yeah I figured, but the name of the debut album was all I could make out of what she said about him so it was my only lead. Still, just glad to find his music.

[alydez2]

Love any song he writes, beautiful sound and lyrics:)

Now this is music:)

[solidheir]

@Sharpoon Why even mention Adele?? Lol serisouly man artists of a different quality, depth and necessity on this earth. Bon Iver's music is so necessary, Adele's is. . . nice at best.

[micemei]

@Sharpoon thats funny where is Bon Iver's handful of Grammy's, lol jk he has none. No need to disrespect Adele. I'm a huge fan of both.

[carlose0318]

egh...i like the acoustic stuff way more than this...although this may grow on me. bon iver does that...

[tsdun2]

Bon Iver - Derived from Bon Hiver -

Which means Good Winter in French, a term coined by Justin Vernon after spending the winter in the woods in Wisconsin writing and recording his first album For Emma, Forever Ago.

By the way, check that album out anyone who hasn't already. it'll surely blow your mind.

[saitu83]

@tsdun2 It's funny, people don't seem to understand that Bon Iver isn't a person. A lot of people think it's the singer, but yeah, that's not his name...

[solidheir]

@tsdun2 hahah nice, it amazes me how much people struggle to use wikipedia or even google for that matter when trying find something out. 

[AntoineDubois12]

aural sex

[hotstudd2087]

bon iver??? wth is that?

[rrroberrrt777]

@hotstudd2087 it means harsh winter or something like that... its french. : )

[rrroberrrt777]

@hotstudd2087 "good winter" its french

[lifeviatim]

..and my balls dropped

[Isaidveto]

It's good to have you back, justin. You've sure been missed.

[nannachristiansen]

This song just made my day. I love this band. I love Justin Vernon.

[PocketShirt23]

how dare there be even one dislike?!

[youarecake]

simply amazing. he just keeps on making every moment great.

[monaDenmark]

Love it

[willywoo95]

IT ISN'T SELF TITLED! IT'S ACTUALLY CALLED BON IVER, BON IVER.

[AddRiftMusic]

im excited for his new album now! really glad he has completely switched it up. the worst thing he could have done was to try and better 'for emma' with more heart wrenching acoustic jams. that album was gold and always will be.

[ferglovesguitar]

"It's definitely the part where you pick up your joint and re-light it." - Justin Vernon refering to his favourite track of the album 'Beth/Rest'. Can't wait to spark a fatty and listen to this album on repeat, I love you Bon Iver.

[JudyParkerMusic]

Coo



[bethangharad93]

Wow... I can't wait for the album to come out! This is simply beautiful.

[ddevine123]

<3 ...can i say anything else :)

[rowannathan]

June 17th BABY! come one! hurry up will you. argh

[hejjegermegasej]

I'm crying

[Gribbleyguts]

This guy makes you escape the everyday sorrows...

[chloereith]

beautiful.

[dakotalk418]

SO DAMN GOOD. i cant wait

[stephendoherty2009]

I have repeatedly the replay button of the song

[jordanlovesmusic84]

from 324 to the end is amazing, so excited to hear his other new songs :D

[amneish]

the most anticipated album of the century

[SWCBlackbird]

Everything I hoped it would be, absolutely beautiful, just like everything he makes.

[pokemaster1471]

Okay, I just had to stop myself from squealing with delight after hearing this :'3

[therachelkenney]

it's raining outside but the sun is shining bright. perfect weather for this perfect song

[paigechaplin]

the most beautiful thing in the entire world.

[dakr2]

Wow... Talking about boring music....

[theplanet1985]

@dakr2 bon iver is clearly not for you. I'm sure Nickleback will come out with something new for you to enjoy.

[athabascka]

@dakr2: Its not boring, its relaxing and beautiful.

[MrJoshywoshy1]

Love it, new album is going to be amazing!! 

[94owen]

cant quite get enough...

[erikshield]

Finally a new Bon Iver album coming! Release on June 21!

[tetralysal300]

i can also imagine brandon flowers doing something similiar

[tetralysal300]

chords at 00:44 are so uplifting

[br0wnstar]

@Sharpoon lol I knew that it would be easier to say "Fleet Foxes" and "Arcade Fire" or something similar but Adele has been making beautiful music for a while now and there's no reason to not appreciate both types of music. As long as it's driven by talent and beauty, why try to divide?

[Albatross2008]

@br0wnstar lets not forget conor oberst

[combinekidd]

@br0wnstar because Adele is too mainstream :L

[acrossthepondwebsite]

@combinekidd Don't assume that just because something is mainstream, it must be bad.

[combinekidd]

@acrossthepondwebsite Don't worry, I was only joking :) Just trying to be a hipster and failing. Though i'll admit I've never really liked Adele's music, it lacks something.

[EvansvilleLT]

@acrossthepondwebsite agreed. in my opinion bon iver is mainstream.

[Mc10doh]

@br0wnstar I really think Adele is pretty typical, it's more annoying to me than anything. Her voice is spectacular but I just don't think it's all that great.

[br0wnstar]

@Mc10doh Typical compared to whom? Duffy? Amy Winehouse? Joss Stone? There's a significant difference in her songwriting ability.

[Reiersson]

@br0wnstar I do agrre, she's got an amazing voice to say the least, but as much as it hurt to say, just like Mc10doh said, her music compared to Bon Iver really doesn't match up. Personally I'm not very fond of mainstream music, might be a reason why.

[FLAAVVAANN]

This song is great. Bon Iver is such an inspiration.

[CreatureFearing]

the wait is nearly over. 

[TNEBFearless]

Just amazing. Could listen to him for days on end.

[apapi100]

can't wait for a bon iver + odd future + childish gamino + adele mix

[jdubhill]

Thanks

[clareisphit]

perfect

[rob25084831]

Have waited so long for this, perfect.x

[boxingGARDEN]

Just closed my eyes. Opened my Ears. Masterbated......Bon Iver <3

[CreatureFearing]

@boxingGARDEN wow, killed it. 

[kunoislisteningto]

Beautiful. SImple. Bon Iver at his best

[smellabell84]

Beautiful.

[glitchdoc777]

great!!!!

[PatronJr]

Amazing! 

[subforsubbbb]

amazing<3 

[br0wnstar]

With pure talent like Adele, Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes getting so much recognition, I'm excited for what's in store for the music landscape.

[Fiaganja]

@br0wnstar fuck fleet foxes and adele. this is getting you higher

[ZedgetRedd]

@br0wnstar Yeah, perhaps there is some hope for music.

[11beea]

so beautiful

[keychaindelight]
