it has taken 12 years for this masterpiece to reach my ears and i am grateful it did. this will be my new reference point for what it takes to put your heart into covering art. this is so good i can’t even believe it’s real
Crazy that I’ve just seen that that last time I commented on this was 11 years ago!!! If you see this, I just want to thank you for this, this song means so much to me, and this particular version was really special to me. It’s been so long that you probably won’t see this anymore, but for what it’s worth, this is very special. Thank you
@@indieandsuch i saw daniel and the lion live in wisconsin. one of the best performances i’ve ever seen. breaks my heart to hear that’s jimmy’s occupation now.
I really love how organic this feels. The singer's voice is consistently on pitch, but at the same time is almost heartbreakingly fragile. The marimba man's playing was haunting and beautiful, and the segue intro of the saxophone was perfect. It fit right in with the tone of the song and didn't overpower anything. Really beautiful guys, great job.
I remember coming across this video a really long, long time ago. It just all of a sudden popped into my head this morning. It's just as good as I remembered. It's one of the best covers of a song I've ever heard. Perfect!
Its so amazing how they accept the saxophone stranger, and how well he contributes to the song. Goes to show the sense of community that music can bring about.
This song strikes a chord in me like few others I've heard. As though it's reminding me of the magnificence of humanity. You absolutely captured that in this rendition. Beautifully done.
I've been listening to this song for about a year. I just got out of a 4 year relationship, and this is the only thing getting me through this. Thankyou
Don’t care if it’s thirsty, I’m commenting again. So raw and full of emotion, music these days is so far removed from being an emotional, immersive story telling experience, cover or not doesn’t matter. This is a work of art, true emotion, true performance, it’s impossible not to become immersed in. Takes each and everyone one of us into our own thoughts and experiences, so much so that even though I’ve listened to this over and over (with, as my last comment says, a decade gape) it still stops me. I listened to this twice before even writing this. Wonderful
This is by and far the best cover of any song I've heard in a long time. I've been playing it non stop since I discovered a couple of months ago. If you guys are ever in Richmond, VA all of my friends and I will be there with made love and support. Keep it up Brother! P.S. that part where the Sax hits while your singing "Miles and Miles and Miles" gives me the chills every time. Sounds like something LeRoi Moore would play in a Dave song. Love you guys.
My son is now 12 my youngest daughter was 13 when he came and blessed me and I heard this beautiful voice for the first time. Fast forward 8-1-2023 my best Friend and I parted ways the mother of my children my ride or die, my confidant the one that knows me best.. Most would say it was mainly my fault and I'm no angel but, I would never point a finger and I will take it to the grave. We were only 13 years old when we met now 47 if I would have to do it again I would, love is love... 3 daughters 31, 27, 25 and my king 12 years young,,, 1990.............
Somewhere on a Main Street in ButtAss, America, at 3am when you could lay down in the street if you want, the perfect cover was recorded. The band kids were there.
Late night, after a show somewhere, next to the van, some guy has a sax...hey let's make a video. You never know when, where or how you'll tap into a cosmic Jetstream of art, creativity & inspiration but when it happens you get this.
I'm sending this link to everyone I can, this NEEDS to hit 100k views. Absolutely amazing cover. I love that the sax lives upstairs, saw what was going on and joined in... Music at it's best.
"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me." You're laying waste to Halloween You fucked it friend, It's on it's head, It struck the street You're in Milwaukee, off your feet ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Strayed above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles 3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway Was where we learned to celebrate Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me That night you played me 'Lip Parade' Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree Saying nothing, that's enough for me ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Hulled far from the highway aisle (Jagged, vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles Christmas night, It clutched the light, The hallow bright Above my brother, I and tangled spines We smoked the screen to make It what it was to be Now to know it in my memory: ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent High above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles
this is how I believe the song was meant to be played, outside, alone, very minimalistic, and the sax came in just at the right point in your song. With the rhythm of the railroad in the background, you stumbled over the pure essence of the music, with everything in the Universe coming together as one to make a beautiful noise. Great job fellas. Sign up the sax, btw.
There's something about the train in the background that adds a whole other layer to this and makes it amazing. I wasn't sure in the beginning but by the end I was sold. Thank you.
Still watching this video almost daily. DATL. These are the only others who get this song the way Justin Vernon meant it to be when he wrote it in a snowy Wisconsin log cabin.
First time in a while i started crying to a song. especially how this whole video is made.. these lights , the voice, his face. Think i just fell a little bit in love. i want to watch this forever to soothe all negative things in everdays routine. may i marry this video?
almost 11 years later and i still think of this version anytime i hear the original. still just as beautiful as the first time i heard it
Same here, still a go-to.
Tell me about it
Still an amazing piece of art. These men are true artists
Same. What an incredible moment captured.
There are those nights....
It hits hard as hell..
This cover hits harder than the original.
"ross from upstairs" is an unintentionally dope band name
Or a Duplass brothers film.
it has taken 12 years for this masterpiece to reach my ears and i am grateful it did. this will be my new reference point for what it takes to put your heart into covering art. this is so good i can’t even believe it’s real
Ive listened to this song like once a day for the past two years
righteous.
since I've found this song, me too brother..me too
Same
I always find myself coming back ...
Still listening man
Crazy that I’ve just seen that that last time I commented on this was 11 years ago!!!

It’s been so long that you probably won’t see this anymore, but for what it’s worth, this is very special. Thank you
this song gives me some kind of mix between happy and terribly sad
Ro Verma yep I agree but that's the cadence of life. probably have listened to this a couple hundred times and still sounds magnificent
"Describe Bon Iver in one sentence"
Quite possibly the best cover of any song I've heard. This guy has the lost amazing voice. And when the sax comes in... Oh my gosh....
exactly what i was going to say, amazing cover.
I here he's a door to door salesman now. Sad. Loved seeing him live, listening to Daniel and the Lion (their original band name).
@@indieandsuch i saw daniel and the lion live in wisconsin. one of the best performances i’ve ever seen. breaks my heart to hear that’s jimmy’s occupation now.
2021 checking in, your comment is still the top one and spot on bro

timeless. best cover I've ever heard.
ive been listening to this cover for like a year now

The best cover on the internet

Same thing today for me. Crazy good cover.
I still think about this all the time
Its so amazing how they accept the saxophone stranger, and how well he contributes to the song. Goes to show the sense of community that music can bring about.
The percussion in this is so mesmerizing. Could listen to both this and the original on repeat for the rest of my days really

I'm not sure where this man is. But my heart is in his teeth. Incredible cover. And I love you.
He's in Eau Claire, WI

I’ve been coming back to this video since before the name change and it’s still one of the most beautiful things my ears have ever heard

+Jerome Aiken RIP LeRoi
One of the best song covers ever...
this will forever be my favourite cover of holocene, i've been coming back for years to get lost in it
I search for "Holocene" and this is the FOURTH video listed. Now that says something right there. Congrats guys!
Covering any Bon Iver song is a big challenge never mind this one. That said, great job.
P.s I thought this was shot in England lol.
Just so you guys know… I watched this 12 years ago, and I still check back in and watch this all the time.
Beautiful. My favorite cover of this song.
I still listen to this a lot. It's an incredible cover
Oh. My. God.
Bravo. Raw, uncut, seriously perfect.
I remember first hearing this many years ago. Such a great song and great version by him. And here it finds me again tonight. Love to all ❤
I come back to listen to this cover, every week, at least. You're stunning, guys : >
so happy i found this cover again. i listen to it almost everyday. it's like my lullaby as a teenager.

My favorite Bon Iver song. You guys did an amazing job. So good that even though I am from Minnesota, I can look past the Packers hat :)
This is so beautiful it gives me feels
The car noise somehow adds to the atmosphere right when it needs to, then the music comes in and hushes it out.
This song bring a smile to my heart
Absolutely Incredible talent, and thanks Mr Sax man for stopping by
best. cover. ever.
RIGHT!
milo bloom is a close second
will check it out :)
thank you for your amazing creativity. I'm in tears, in awe, and have SO much respect for your musicianship and expression.
AMAZING job
I always get back to this one.
Don't ask me why.
First thing I listen to when I come home .. So relaxing .. Best song to listen to after a long day at work . For anything actually .
"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me."
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend,
It's on it's head,
It struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night,
It clutched the light,
The hallow bright
Above my brother,
I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make
It what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory:
... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

I remember watching this a long time ago. Still gives me chills to this day. You all made magic that night. No doubt about it.
There's something about the train in the background that adds a whole other layer to this and makes it amazing. I wasn't sure in the beginning but by the end I was sold. Thank you.
5 years later, I still come back to this when I can't sleep.
My friend died at Pukkelpop during a massive storm. This song was playing on the memorial day.. You guys did a fantastic job
Approaching 100k views! When I first found this it had about 20k. Still the best cover on RUclips, hands down.
11 years later. Best cover on the internet.
I've seen this video many times now. So many that I can't even remember if I have commented on it before. This is incredible.
Josh Williams 😘😘😘😘
This is beautiful! The video, the instruments, your voice... Perfect!
I love the simplicity of it. It makes it sound absolutely amazing!
I have chills through my bones. I could listen to this all day-original and amazing.
Damn, these guys out there making abandoned town pandemic style vids like, 8 years before COVID. Visionaries.
Holy crap, I was not expecting this. Very nicely done!
Simple music like this is so so so beautiful.
Glad this is still up and I managed to find it again :) I've been comnig back to this since it was posted
this is solid. unique take, love the instrumental perfection and his falsetto is on point. great cover. good camera work too, good set
Man i dig Bon Iver's version of this song but holy moly this is just so raw and awesome! Kudos!
Almost 10 years! You're awesome!
still awesome
Completely fell to the floor with this cover. Absolutely the best. EVER that I have seen.
That train sound in the background at 3.32 sets the mood so good
This is the best cover of anything on RUclips! For real AMAZING!
... it's been two years.... and this is still amazing. I live a block away from where this was filmed. Respect.
My five year old makes me play this song every day on the way home from school 👍🏼
Thank you for singing me my favorite song so beautifully.
Over the past year, I have listened to this version more than the Bon Iver original. Freakin fantastic
Still watching this video almost daily. DATL. These are the only others who get this song the way Justin Vernon meant it to be when he wrote it in a snowy Wisconsin log cabin.
Every time I want to listen to this song, this is the only version I want to listen to
Loved this. Raw and powerful!
First time in a while i started crying to a song. especially how this whole video is made.. these lights , the voice, his face. Think i just fell a little bit in love. i want to watch this forever to soothe all negative things in everdays routine. may i marry this video?
