I am not even frustrated anymore, that these beautiful sounds do not get heard in the mainstream, it is too beautiful to be distorted, keep it in the indie. and share the beauty
man I tell ya that fuckin alternate tuning shit is a whole game changer in and of it's self, but when you throw them crazy vocal harmonies around like that...that's fucking pure gold. magic baby. I feel it.
I was there! Best moment of the entire weekend. I think it's amazing that so many people can be so connected with a piece of music at the same time. Was magical.
think its meant to be like a release of emotions, just go mental. that doesn't make it anti-music, just an emotion expressed through the rhythm. this is fucking amazing
I can't believe this was 12 years ago. I was 12 at the time. It would be 3 years until I discovered bon iver, and still listening to this day. These recordings are on par with the Sydney Opera House. Both amazing in their own ways but I have to say these are so raw and personal.
J.V.'s voice produces in me such a guttoral, visceral, f'ing whoa shit response that I haven't felt in so long that no compliment I could come up with can even do JUSTICE to to it (his voice)! BTW Kate, I listened to your cover like a week ago & I think it's safe to say that the beauty and simplicity of your voice has more than a couple of us feeling that we'll never get over YOU girl... your voice is like a seraphim's! Nice chops girl, nice chops.
first time I had ever heard the song or the band, and it was so fucking beautiful. through the magic of collective consciousness I knew every word. I was blown away.
I think the rawness of the opening on the studio version is lost here, and personally that's what makes this song so great, his voice is laid bare, and the music is as well. Not that this is a bad version, I would just prefer to see it completely bare, with just an acoustic.
I finally get to see them at Bonnaroo in less than 2 weeks. If you're there, come find me. I'll be the guy rolling around the ground crying my eyes out.
im 14 every one at my school listens to 'pop' this music is good all good music is about willingness to listen for meaning and not just the superficial.
One of the beauties of something like this is I do not need validation from you, because I was there, and because if you have not shared the experience, I can only pity you for not believing me. I have no reason to lie to complete strangers on the internet. I don't understand it, nor did I previously believe in that sort of thing, being a skeptic myself. I have no animosity towards you for not believing me, though. It's a foolish thing to read and instantly believe without seeing for yourself.
Oh man! I'm in this video too! I'm one of the twins that the camera decided to zoom into. Damn! If I had known I was being filmed I would have put on some make up.
@mrbillymorris12 I like the fact that this kind of music is not so famous as lady gaga and rihanna. It's like you have the illusion that is only for you, that is something that belongs to you. And it's simply beautiful that only few people can feel the same empathy listening to this music. It' s a privilege this, that doesn't belong to everyone. I don't know if I'm clear, I'm not English...and I'm sorry for my mistakes. :P
@mrbillymorris12 I know, sometimes its hard to find anyone who listens to decent music. And imo most of the commerc songs are really bad - but the public got used to them and espacially your ears are trained to that specific sound. so its kinda hard to consider different sounding songs any good. Its the conditionning of the masses that demands bad music - not the people itself.
If you listen to the recording of this song you hear near the end the drums play rhythmically out of tune. Kind of like a popping sound that's everywhere like popcorn. That's what they're trying to recreate here only it's more obvious because its louder love than it is on the track. It's intentional
I can understand it seems one-sided of the cameraperson but really, Justin was the original Bon Iver. For Emma was all him, in fact, being solitary was the main theme of the album. After some solo performing he got Mike and Sean for a sort of on-the-road band, they ended up sticking.
The music is fantastic quality, the audience is great, but why is the camera only zooming in on julian? it feels really claustrophobic and myopic after a while.
5:13 Whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaahhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Is worth not just the whole album but years of listening... ...maybe worth the suffering that causes such deep cries outward?
He's not supposed to, I don't think. It's more of a frenzied flow of emotions. I'm pretty sure some of it's improv. It's definitely meant to be that way.
Did the drums at the end annoy anyone else? I understand it was meant to be an explosion of emotion but the drummer kinda drowned out everyone else. I don't know, maybe I'll learn to like it.
I really think this is a soft fucking song, it's great. One thing I don't understand though, why does the drummer fuck up everything at the end by not keeping a single beat right? Is it some form of anti-music or does he just suck?

So true so true!
i will never get over this man.

oh boy do I have some news for you...

It was the perfect music for the ending credits in the movie "The Place Beyond the Pines". If you haven't seen it you're missing out big time.
Im here cause i just finish the movie, beautiful movie 🙂
Say less
I agree

This has to be my favorite performance of this song yet, hands down, beautiful.
the guy doing the backing vocals has a nice voice as well. they sound great together
i hope this never loses it's beauty
YES. I WILL MARRY THIS SOUND.
I.. I can't. This song gets me pretty much every single time
You are ahead of the game, my friend.
J.V.'s voice produces in me such a guttoral, visceral, f'ing whoa shit response that I haven't felt in so long that no compliment I could come up with can even do JUSTICE to to it (his voice)!

I always need a hug right after I listen to this song. heh. Delightfully melancholic, that's what it is.
i still get the chills.....
i was there!! best show ever!!!
first time I had ever heard the song or the band, and it was so fucking beautiful. through the magic of collective consciousness I knew every word. I was blown away.
this is the song that puts me to sleeep, every night.
Still one of the best from Bon Iver
Must of been a magical gig.
Stunning performance, [BI] a phenomenal talent.............
I love that wavering quality to the guitar
Pure genius.
im going to see bon iver live next month :) this is my favorite song
I think the rawness of the opening on the studio version is lost here, and personally that's what makes this song so great, his voice is laid bare, and the music is as well. Not that this is a bad version, I would just prefer to see it completely bare, with just an acoustic.
sounds so perfect.
Its beautiful. That's pure goodness.
I finally get to see them at Bonnaroo in less than 2 weeks. If you're there, come find me. I'll be the guy rolling around the ground crying my eyes out.
I love this.
I was talking to a friend while playing this video. After a few seconds of this song I couldn't say a word anymore.
Luca Starita you said it PERFECT 2 years ago!!
amazing footage
im 14 every one at my school listens to 'pop' this music is good all good music is about willingness to listen for meaning and not just the superficial.
incredible!
love this
amazing!
i love it
@doublecuppinfiend it's sean carey, his drummer :) sean has a solo album out now under the name s. carey called "all we grow"

This is pure fucking beauty
the camera work reminds me of how theyd camera work from live vids from the 60s
March 23rd, 2008 at the Independent.
if no one has ripped this yet... someone should get on that
God they were tight man
2:55 What might have been lost
@elmobrother Dude... seriously! Best comment ever

@Dannefan84 its intentional im fairly sure they love fecking about with off beat rthymns :D
Oh my god, I'm in this! Weird!!
@elmobrother OMG I thought the exact same thing!!!!
@mrbillymorris12 Not being popular doesn't make him underrated. He got a ten on pitchfork, I don't think that would be considered underrated.
When did this show take place?
i've unfortunately been stuck in emma before and I cannot erase it i promise you.
I can understand it seems one-sided of the cameraperson but really, Justin was the original Bon Iver. For Emma was all him, in fact, being solitary was the main theme of the album. After some solo performing he got Mike and Sean for a sort of on-the-road band, they ended up sticking.
@SunsetRubdownz seriously is.
@elmobrother especially that guy
hahaha i'm in this video 8-)
The music is fantastic quality, the audience is great, but why is the camera only zooming in on julian? it feels really claustrophobic and myopic after a while.
I was just trying to share a positive experience with fellow fans. No need to be a tool.
@tynie626 dope ass album.
Britain :)
Only 2 people apart from me I know are my dad and a guy i introduced them to :)
Yeah cool. Nice unicorn by the way.
Haha, same!
@spikeleels soooo fukin true!!!!!
5:13 Whhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaahhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Is worth not just the whole album but years of listening...
...maybe worth the suffering that causes such deep cries outward?
@elmobrother hahAHHA yes! exactly what i was thinking. he's playing guitar too.
@jofman1988 no they havent
Bon Iver is a BAND, I guess you mean Justin Vernon
He's not supposed to, I don't think. It's more of a frenzied flow of emotions. I'm pretty sure some of it's improv. It's definitely meant to be that way.
2:41
I'd like to see Andy Dwyer (Parks and Recreation character) sing this song
everyone in the crowd is Micheal Cerra...
Emma.
what might have been lost
have you even watched the video all the way through?
he's the main dude of bon iver. his name is julian vernon
@elmobrother hahahaha
Sean Carey drums was funny in this version
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! That crash cymbal crish crish ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
haha exactly.
I Wish I knew what @mrbillymorris12 had said :(
the girls by the two of you are cute...
does jofman really believe they're over?!?!
they can't be... PLEASE, someone tell me the truth.
mea culpa. i am mistaken.
Did the drums at the end annoy anyone else? I understand it was meant to be an explosion of emotion but the drummer kinda drowned out everyone else. I don't know, maybe I'll learn to like it.
WHAT MIGHT OF BEEN LOST???
*have been
prove it
Ha ha!!!!!! DON”T BOOOOTHER ME!!!!!!!
Nonsense. This song is amazing, but that's just impossible.
I really think this is a soft fucking song, it's great. One thing I don't understand though, why does the drummer fuck up everything at the end by not keeping a single beat right? Is it some form of anti-music or does he just suck?
its not as good as DJ TIESTO
