I remember the first time I heard this song. It's one of the most perfect and flawless pieces of music I've heard in my life. God Bless You so much Bon Iver. Your album is also my favorite of 2011.
This song is literally amazing, but for some reason took me a couple listens. Maybe I had to get over the 80s feel of it but wow, such a good closer to a literally perfect album.
I can honestly say this is the most beautiful song I have ever listened to. I cried the first two times I listened to it. I am not sure what it meant to Justin Vernon, but what it means to me is more than can be explained.
It's interesting, that they published whole album on YT for free, unlimited listening. And you know what? I'm not going to play it everytime on YT "for free", I'm gonna buy this masterpiece, cause I think, that it's fucking worth buying.
@geoffwoade I feel irony in your answer, and i don't know if you wanted this. But face it, nowadays a lot of people download albums, and i think buying it, especially when it's free on YouTube, is not a common thing.
@geoffwoade :) I understood your taunt, I know that buying CDs should be something common, but unfortunately it isn't. I didn't want to make a hero out of me, but to show people, that this album is not based on simple pop songs, but it's something better, much better.
I get chills through my whole body every time this songs starts when I'm listening to the album. When I've listened to Lisbon, OH it's like I've been on a journey and I am returning home when this song starts. I feel safe.
@RJduckyard Oh my god Yes, i agree totally. this song is like the best musical description of resolution and coming home. It makes me feel like I can appreciate anything and everything.
I've been infecting every single one of my friends' Facebook Walls with this playlist. If Bon Iver were AIDS, then consider me that snotty little fuck from the movie "Kids".
I was listening to this when I found an old picture of my grandfather holding my aunt, as a baby. She just died of cancer a couple months ago and it absolutely crushed my grandfather. Brought tears to my eyes.
3:16 this part of the song hits my heart like a ton of bricks. sends shocks through my soul that are strong and powerful but beautiful and elegant enough to still be soothing.bless the genius behind this body of work that is justin vernon.
All these "deluxe" videos are incredibly minimalist and complementary to the vibe of the music. But the opening shot of the flare for this one? Wow. Beautiful.
this song is like going to a really nice restaurant and getting served a bologna sandwich only to find out that it is the most amazing thing you have ever eaten.
I have been travelling across Europe for the past 12 hours, this is the perfect music to kick back and relax to and just think about everything and nothing.
I just saw them perform this live last night in Eau Claire.. It was an epic performance. The bass on this shook the auditorium like i've never felt or heard. So much talent.
The smoke is carried over from the previous video, for Lisbon, OH, which I heard is supposed to represent a house fire Vernon talks about as one of the most defining moments of his life... This deluxe edition for my favorite album of the year (and most others) is simply breathtaking.
it it makes me look back at the 80's with nostalgia...
