Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago - A Take Away Show

[3577]

fucking hate that awkward dweeb kid who just stands there.

[icecreammmmman1991]

@3577 Mike, the one with the gorgeous and pure voice?

Don't really see the point of you posting a negative comment to such an amazing band but his voice is incredible so maybe listen to them a little more before you post...

[timbov123]

@3577 He doesn't just stand there. They are singing a 3 part harmony. He is 1/3 of that. What are you 1/3 of? Nothing is my guess.

[MikeLuvsGaming]

I have trouble sleeping now for half a year. I feel tired and comfortable again. Jesus, this man is a gift..

[m01up]

one of the best moments of music i've ever heard

insane

[FoxyFQ300]

the bearded guy,Mike, his 'student' is going to be BIG, He has an amazing voice

[92royalty]

[bassonfire79]

[shelblovestosing]

This band is so fucking beautiful. Thank you, Bon Iver, for changing my life. I'm forever grateful.

[kassiegabriela]

Can't stop watching this!

[MrYipmon]

Chillin out on a guided tour,

Hear some music starting up,

It's kinda nice,

See Bon Iver and buds comin over,

Get the fuck out of there...

[FasterToTheEnd]

I love how he's singing Drunkmare by Ticonderoga at the start!

[Chispybby]

Seee...Im not weird!!! He wears his shirts inside-out too!!!! Hahahaha...Yea bbyyyyy XD

[BenignArmada]

Love, just love thats all there is

[savejazz]

id like to see good old war play in random paris streets too. lol!

[xsamestesx]

few videos have left me this speechless

[benhaldane1]

Only the bloody French would run away from this.

[grillade1]

@benhaldane1 actually they were american. They said it at the end of the video

[livelaughlove91692]

wow that really sucks for the ones who walk in at 3:38 just ask their leaving!

[MrJufrow]

....and the crowd at 5:30 just walk away.

[sinn3r999]

does anyone know where you can find the version of this where justin makes all the backing music with his voice? because its possibly my favourite version of any song, EVER.

[griefonenyc]

A Walk Away Show

[cjmorgs4]

gotcha shep! i swear I'll find that entrance-way someday.

[MScotting]

I'm pretty sure this is the 1000th time i've put this video on, still adore it

[mollysit]

his voice makes me weep, In the best way.

[AiwaLee]

With all your lies, you're still very lovable...

[loalflfe1]

how dare you walk away from BON IVER you bastards!?!

[mondosuper]

cochlea porn

[ciaranyohanbrennan]

I like how they make that woman run home at 5:41



[thecurledstaches]

...And then those people walked home and happened to get on Youtube. They happened to listen to music.Bon Ivers wolves performance at Glastonbury happend to be pop up in recommended videos. They happened to click on it.......

[binhawk]

It saddens me only 1,140,001 people have seen this...

[MrJcenter7]

He can sing

[samfalco8]

i'd run away too if the greatest musician alive was walking towards me singing beautiful music..? :S

[MrAbstractkid]

Genuinely my favourite Youtube video. No more to be said.

[TheHeardman]

Justin's Jumper is inside out

[burgesja]

i fucking love this

[ItsLoise]

I want his guitar! Anybody know what kind it is?

[matthb63]

@ItsLoise The guitar looks like a Martin 0-21, though it's hard (for me) to tell Martin's small-bodies apart.

[21crescendo]

This...has rejuvenated me. I've been a depressed mess since I fucked up in college, ...aggressive smoker, violent drinker, pillow hugging, shabby bearded 21 year old who has found some goodness in the world after all... Couldn't feel anything anymore, this made me feel warm and lightheaded..thanks Bon Iver

[Nrmoore25]

@21crescendo Funny how music does that huh? If you like Bon Iver you also might like my band, First & Main, check us out on FaceBook!

[Thegamecheats]

@21crescendo retarded stupid fuck

[Gandalfismad]

[BigKaTrob]

[MoldeddBread]

[somethingg8]

The dog is so lovely!

[booney1487]

nothing like a little bon iver spunk in your ear, this is prooof even dogs can detect great music.

[GoIbat]

for anyone who's wondering, the song they were casually singing in the beginning is called "Drunkmare" by Ticonderoga

[Michigancherries]

:)

[radiopeace]

I love how they walked after those ignorant people... awesome!

[octopuscollective]

so could you safely describe bon iver as a vocal harmony driven acoustic act?

[Alicethepixie676]

STUPID PEOPLE, Y U WALK AWAY?!

[Arky00]

@Alicethepixie676 Dirty fuckin' North American tourists, that's why.

[Alicethepixie676]

@Arky00 It's those Americans that make me ashamed to be one.. I'm sorry for my country's stupidity.

[jacksonsalley7]

@Alicethepixie676 true us americans usually have a shitty taste of music.. haha shitty taste

[LuckyBreak89]

...how could they just walk away from Bon Iver!? Bon Iver or not, how can they not appreciate the beauty of this song!? -___-'' *dead*

[wow5heyy]

Look at that Satchel, what a beast!

[viictoriaarose]

their harmonies are unbelievable

[davidlovesmaggie]

very cool and real...no fear here......

[WingnutDishwasher]

LOOK HOW HAPPY THAT DOG IS

[demonic177]

Haha I love how they begin the vid singing drunkmare.

[restyworo]

i get mad suddenly watching those fucktards walking away. trade lives with me pretty please.

[MRygreb]

[BullzFr0mNeptun3]

0:59 Vinny.

[sandalrider]

[ttiffanyjavierr]

[TheSunCountry]

Hello everyone, we play music and want your ear holes to hear it!

[Dancegirl0802]

STUPID STUPID HUMANS...Y U WALK AWAY?!?

[a432511]

I hope all the idiots walking away see themselves on youtube and think... shit, that was Bon Iver.

[PetePlaysBass]

That keyboard... THAT KEYBOARD.

[beckers1120]

i just don't understand why they walk away

[aidan321pw]

this tickles my insides

[KyleMaurisak]

Hey come check out my live video on my channel from the 1946 Sessions!

[steviethellama]

Why won't any of my friends sing with me?

[GoalieSanka]

the inside out sweater makes this even more darling and it's already pretty damn darling

[DrJesseFrench]

I'm pretty sure his shirt is inside out and there is a tag at 1:30....

[nroloff1992]

49 people also run away from free music

[JoshMhayes]

The song they are singing whilst walking down the stairs is Drunkmare by Ticonderoga

[v0odoochild001]

I don't know why they were walking away. Didn't they see the camera guy filming them? It's obvious seeing that would mean they're not just bums playing music asking for money.

[theskul96]

whats the song they are singing when they are walking down the stairs at the very start?

[cheaben3]

I think its funny how hard people try just to get others to like their comment...haha

[dougeezfresh]

Watching this video makes me nauseous because I would give so much to hear Bon Iver in such an intimate and beautiful setting and here are all these people walking away from them . . .

[sisilio1]

ppl on the street must have heard snoop singing.. Run nigga run nigga run M&^%^ run..

[Mangi132]

[worldwide1612]

[SnapperTheFolkRapper]

That looks like the place from the Kooks take away show of "Ooh La"

[crazycoconut33]

Everytime I watch this Justin Vernon's voice becomes more and more beautiful <3

[ChasingSkirtsAccount]

WTF that fat lady running away as fast as her 500 pounds allows her to



[kysna777]

"For all your lies; you're still very lovable." What a lyric . . .

[lemmedasker]

This is my first experience with Bon Iver, and the genre is by no means my taste. But the song is incredibly beautiful. Bought it instantly

[MartyMcF1y24]

OH MY GAWD.

[spinningfan]

@Rainmakerlola Yep, I'm convinced those people walking away are zombies, completely void of feelings.

[Godsend2290]

@Rainmakerlola

They fear what they do not know.

[Jairuzify]

I've listened to this about 26 times today and counting. No joke.

[jeanpaulfc]
