India Love (one of the "kidnappers" along with her husband Jason Deibler) is my niece. She died on November 19th, 2023 at the age of 31. She was like a daughter to me. I miss her more than words can say. I am forever broken. We all are. She loved Bon Iver's music so much. She introduced me to them many years ago, For Emma, Forever Ago. We listened to that album many times when she lived with me in Seattle in her teenage years. Skinny Love is her song. I can't listen to Justin's voice anymore without breaking down completely. I remember her telling me about this "kidnapping" experiencing she was involved with at the Michelberger festival, she was so excited about what a special experience it was, and she was thrilled to be a part of it since she loved Bon Iver so much. Thank you Justin. I miss you India ❤🌻❤
@@christianleichenauer3880 Yeah. He lives and breathes it. Haven't listened to this in a while and it always hits just right. Grateful for the music of this man and his collaborators.
For all those who said she didn't know who he was, she clearly said his full name right after he only introduced himself as Justin. She knew who he was. She seemed nervous with all the cameras.
Many fans of Bon Iver don't even know his last name... He's actually known as Bon Iver and not Justin Vernon. So she know about him obiously and very well. She was probably expecting he would say "Hi, i'm bon iver".
I love how her mind had to try to accept what was happening after she says his name and looks to one side and says “ok I believe it”..... Justin version of his song here is beautiful and captivating for me personally. I am autistic and 40 years old. Music helps me process and understand emotions and this song is wonderful and I thank you for doing this.
It keeps you guessing. As they're taking the blindfold off, you don't know if you're going to be reading a ransom note or be serenaded by the likes of Bon Iver. It's almost Durden-esque.
I would argue that kind of disorientation is exactly why this would be more intimate than without. Sis probably had no idea where the hell she was, but damn glad to be there
Love this in theory, but the way they filmed it shattered the illusion of intimacy. Her body language makes it clear that she's trying to be calm but she's put on guard or disoriented by the observation of a camera/cameraperson, instead fully present in the moment with just him. This, but filmed with hidden cameras (that she's told about later) could be really special, though.
I’m sure it’s hard to kidnap someone only to find themselves in a creepy, dank alleyway with a bowl on their head, without the promise of cameras being present.
disagree , well it depends on the person and how much you actually love yourself , if you are camera shy to bad you lost the moment ,but you should forget everything around you and just let go , maybe even dance , close the eyes , spread the arms ..well question is do you really love Justin Vernon music that much so it can make you let go in any moment, i know for myself i would be flying at any given moment in time
That isn't an appropriate question at all. Being an extrovert or comfortable in an unusual situation isn't a measure of your love for an artist. Have you never seen people freeze when they meet their idols? I'd argue that perhaps THAT is a more valid indication of how much an artist means to them.
This is Hipster 2.0. When regular hipster things aren’t hipster enough, you kidnap someone and put a bowl over there head, hit the bowl with a stick, serenade them, and *Boom* Hipster 2.0 is born. The next level
I said a hip hop Hippie to the hippie The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it out Bubba to the bang bang boogie, boobie to the boogie To the rhythm of the boogie the beat
What an incredible version of this song and what an amazing idea for a series. If it was me in her position I probably would've passed out at first after seeing Justin sitting so close.
Nafiqah87 True fans don’t pass out in front of artists they love, they appreciate them and understand they’re only human too. She said his last name, so I assume she’s a fan.
One to one with bon iver? My biggest dream since his music saved my life in the worst year of my life. Seemed like the only beautiful thing to hold on. Now, recovered, I can still say that that dream to meet him and have a one to one concert with him is still a beautiful thing to hold on. Thank you, for giving me the sound of love in your songs
You are so right. I love his chest voice. My favourites of him are his songs before Bon Iver and then his live versions of Bon Iver songs where he uses his chest voice.
I cannot stop watching this.. The way he sings this song. This is what singing from your Soul looks and sounds like ♡. And she was blessed to witness it. So Amazing, meeting Justin is my Dream.. xx
this is an amazing version of my favorite song on the album. I appreciated the creativity/direction of the album but honestly I would have been okay if all the songs were played like this
Philosophize your figure What I have and haven't held You called and I came, stayed tall through it all Fall and fixture just the same thing Say nothing of my fable, no What on earth is left to come Who's agonized and gnawed through it all I'm underneath your tongue I'm standing in your street now, no And I carry his guitar And I can't recall it lightly at all But I know I'm going in Too much for me to pick up, no Not sure what forgiveness is We've galvanized the squall of it all I can leave behind the harbor I will run (all around it) Have to crawl (still can't stop it) Along the fires One more time just pass me by I'ma make it half the night Hall light wishes To walk aside your favor I'm an Astuary King I'll keep in a cave, your comfort and all Unburdened and becoming I will run (all around it) (Sailing off and on, you're on your honor) Have to crawl (Carry off and up your seize) still can't I will run (carry up love along unfettered time) Now Mona, now Mona Haven't I locked up my failure (sailing off and ore your odd, your honor) From the core to the sky Wouldn't I be last to see? (Carry off and up your seize) From the door 'til we die Deny with love my labor (carry up with love a long) Was it all I could find (we live outside) Keep waking up high
Saw Justin live in Copenhagen two days ago, and it was beyond magical. If you have the opportunity to see him live; do it. Somehow, he was even better live :)
I would like to think there are actually people who'd just rather enjoy the moment than try to record everything.. some things are best left to the silences of history...some moments are for you alone
All I want to do when I watch this is break down in tears and hug Justin. Massive kudos to the kidnapee in her composure throughout the filming, irrespective of her take on the situation. All the best to both involved and thank-you for the wonderful video.
I love this setting. The weathered and faded walls look fantastic and the handheld camera sneaking closer through the hallway then rotating around them is fantastic. As for the song, it’s Justin Vernon, it’s great.
cohletrain British actually, but what the hell does it matter? I'm here to listen to Justin, not to be consulted on my English. I'll let you know if I need you though.
I love this so much. It encapsulates the essence of music as a deeply connective art. An art among many others. It’s virtuous and can make both the server and those served feel empowered. Love.
One time I sat with a friend face to face in his dorm room for a half hour in silence, we learned so much about eachother in those moments, so very vulnerable to be with someone in complete silence.
Beautiful choice of location... The acoustics almost made this feel like a gospel experience, and this song was beautiful. I had never heard of this artist till now but I hope you play the United States because I feel like your show would be amazing
Lead me in like like this in surprise for a proposal and be prepared for a yes This is perfect I’m in love with this Always leave the fantasy the curiosity the surprise the originality Purity crisp authenticity Thank you.
if someone were to genuinely sit me down blind folded and Justin pops out sitting in front of me I would probably cry real tears before I even had to hear what he was about to say.
Introduced this band to a girl, she introduced me to this song...I can’t say how I really feel about her because it’s not ok in the professional sense. This is like standing on a cliff. If I speak, I fall but the pain ends. If I don’t, I stay on steady ground but the pain continues.
Goosebumps and tears just watching this video, I would've given so much to sit on that chair. The lady in this video didn't seem to enjoy it as much as a fan would have.

So sorry for your loss Heidi
May she rest in paradise.
I love that he plays for one person the exact same way he would play for 1 million. So intense so full of emotion. What a gift.
He’s a true musician, he does it cause he loves it
Actually is playing for 3,7 Million in RUclips ;)
or 22 a million

@@christianleichenauer3880 Yeah. He lives and breathes it. Haven't listened to this in a while and it always hits just right. Grateful for the music of this man and his collaborators.
I literally can't get over Justin Vernon. He's probably one of the greatest artists we've got.
Check out Travis Meeks “Tree Colors” - there is “another”. Lol 🤘
Yes... And Ben Harper.
Peace
@@tadowjonez hahah this literally made me laugh out loud, by myself.
Colter wall is another man on he's own level
Fact
I first saw this video 6 years ago and it's still ranked one of the top most beautiful live performances I've seen on RUclips. His voice. Wow.
Probably the best kidnapping experience ever.
not sure there is a lot of competition..
You'd be surprised
Wish my previous experience is as fun as this :(
@@jacobsnodgrass13 This is hidden...
For all those who said she didn't know who he was, she clearly said his full name right after he only introduced himself as Justin. She knew who he was. She seemed nervous with all the cameras.
John Fitzpatrick i think she is enjoying the preformance aswell. Its something about her eyes. So intresting. Love this preformance.

Yup she knows him alright, just seen her in the choir of them performing this song! Don't get why theyd just lie
where can I see her singing with him?
I would have cried like the grown man I am.
avyeled defo would have cried
Me too
I already did
Phillip Miller yeah, I teared up a little watching this.
I would have cried and screamed then passed out in that first 3 seconds of opening my eyes lol
"Very cool, Justin Vernon, ok..."
I need that kind of composure in life.

I'm sure the Tibetan Bowl and blind fold really helped to make this an organic situation haha
hahahahahaha
Matthew Moss yes, the blindfold was certified non-GMO
It’s resets the reptilian brain. Lol idiot - you gone learn today hahahahahahaha

Or maybe she just needed to relax?
Justin Vernon does a great cover of a Justin Vernon song.
Nugenrules I didn’t get it....
ha great call. Great to see a completely different version
Nugenrules - he sure does. You seen this cover yet? ruclips.net/video/01YD6v5TYqs/видео.html
Fucking brilliant!
Funny enough, that is one of my favourite renditions of a Bon Iver song.
Walker Mich - I haven't. Good find
Watching this on Christmas night. It’s absolutely amazing as I watch the performance again!
Me too
This is Hipster 2.0. When regular hipster things aren’t hipster enough, you kidnap someone and put a bowl over there head, hit the bowl with a stick, serenade them, and *Boom* Hipster 2.0 is born. The next level
Hilarious comment. Lol!
I said a hip hop
Hippie to the hippie
The hip, hip a hop, and you don't stop, a rock it out
Bubba to the bang bang boogie, boobie to the boogie
To the rhythm of the boogie the beat
HAHAHAHA xD !! !
hahahaha :D
So you're saying this is the way to "Hipsterize" someone?
Dude she just got serenaded by Justin Vernon that's insane.
Mbc it’s not really “INSANE” is it?
@@MrGenedancingmachine it is

ZM Rushlow I wasn’t even talking to you, chill tf out.
Which song is it please
imagine having a bowl over your head like this
Siebe de Vries I was thinking the same thing and lost it at your comment😂
lol yeah... 0:03 "welcommeee.. I'm going to put a tibetan bowl on your head"
That'd be so wild.
Hahahhahah
😅😂😂

Aw I’m glad! He pretty much saved me too... helped me find meaning in a unsure life. Big inspiration from him.
the listener must be touched to the soul directly. a suspended moment with the angels.
Thank you Bon Iver
Vernon’s regular voice is incredible. I love his work, but he is at his best when he sings like this.
Absolutely agree! I am sure they edited a little, but a great job.
@@Avatar1601 I don't think so, there are quite a few out of key notes and Justin is usually pretty consistent live
Couldn't agree more
@@Avatar1601 the audio is clearly unedited as told by the consistent room reverb/echo
You are so right. I love his chest voice. My favourites of him are his songs before Bon Iver and then his live versions of Bon Iver songs where he uses his chest voice.

Id love to hear the acoustic versions of all the songs from this album
I wish there were an acoustic version of all his songs
I love Spotify but RUclips is the gift that keeps on giving....I've found some incredible music on here, this is one of the best
3:50 e o vernon começa a fazer a magia que ele sabe. que apresentação simples e cheia de arrepios, bicho. te amo demais!
What makes this so beautiful, is that you just know when he's performing this, to him, no one else was in that room
pretty sure he knows theres camera and theres the girl. u can see it in his shoulders and the shirt he picked
@@GabrielNNunez alright dude, way to call out my cringe comment. Just let me be ffs 😂
this is an amazing version of my favorite song on the album. I appreciated the creativity/direction of the album but honestly I would have been okay if all the songs were played like this
One of the few humans alive with the ability to stop time!
It's rather a psychological study of her than an intimate performance
Big nose but otherwise sound
León Kisters ah yes quite quite “proceeds to rub chin while sipping wine”
I get emotional watching Justin on RUclips. If i was sitting across from him I would be weeping like a baby.
My favourite song for the last couple of years.
same
Isn't this just about a year old? Lol. Regardless...mine too.
Literally came outs year ago... Heh.
thats cool. but it came out last year
I would have been crying so hard. The intimacy and beauty and especially power that this has.
Philosophize your figure
What I have and haven't held
You called and I came, stayed tall through it all
Fall and fixture just the same thing
Say nothing of my fable, no
What on earth is left to come
Who's agonized and gnawed through it all
I'm underneath your tongue
I'm standing in your street now, no
And I carry his guitar
And I can't recall it lightly at all
But I know I'm going in
Too much for me to pick up, no
Not sure what forgiveness is
We've galvanized the squall of it all
I can leave behind the harbor
I will run (all around it)
Have to crawl (still can't stop it)
Along the fires
One more time just pass me by
I'ma make it half the night
Hall light wishes
To walk aside your favor
I'm an Astuary King
I'll keep in a cave, your comfort and all
Unburdened and becoming
I will run (all around it)
(Sailing off and on, you're on your honor)
Have to crawl
(Carry off and up your seize) still can't
I will run (carry up love along unfettered time)
Now Mona, now Mona
Haven't I locked up my failure (sailing off and ore your odd, your honor)
From the core to the sky
Wouldn't I be last to see? (Carry off and up your seize)
From the door 'til we die
Deny with love my labor (carry up with love a long)
Was it all I could find (we live outside)
Keep waking up high
I love his raw and authentic voice in an acoustic setting like this
Saw Justin live in Copenhagen two days ago, and it was beyond magical. If you have the opportunity to see him live; do it. Somehow, he was even better live :)
I can't imagine the feeling of sitting in this room with those acoustics listening to someone so intense in his music. Love it
Imagine if she took her phone out and started recording it
Lmfao
Hahahaha
ahaha!
I would like to think there are actually people who'd just rather enjoy the moment than try to record everything.. some things are best left to the silences of history...some moments are for you alone
I mean it is being recorded so like umm...
Nice! Very interesting concept. Good and simple presentation of the song.
All I want to do when I watch this is break down in tears and hug Justin. Massive kudos to the kidnapee in her composure throughout the filming, irrespective of her take on the situation. All the best to both involved and thank-you for the wonderful video.
When he started singing high notes after 4:00 my heart shattered
hope to see some new take away show with bon iver 🙏🏻
same! still re-watch the original ones and he still instills the same passion in his music.
Wait, there's more? Can you link me to them?
Sameee we need more
There’s a new one!
this is so beautiful, jesus christ
If I had a chance to listen to Justin one on one I would literally almost die from excitement and happiness!!
I was also kidnapped, they never posted my video because I farted a belter half way through the song. Great experience though.
Adam smithintin Shouldn’t have laughed but did
i would pay to see that
You *w h a t*
Ah man this caught me off guard lol
RELEASE THE TAPES
I fall more in love every time he sings.
I love the idea and the place that was chosen.
I love this setting. The weathered and faded walls look fantastic and the handheld camera sneaking closer through the hallway then rotating around them is fantastic. As for the song, it’s Justin Vernon, it’s great.
I would of broke down and cried as soon as I seen him.
"would of"
Hey dude, glad you are correcting my grammar. But you don't need to. Just leave me how I am. :)
'Murica!
cohletrain British actually, but what the hell does it matter? I'm here to listen to Justin, not to be consulted on my English. I'll let you know if I need you though.
That genuinely surprised me! Most brits I've met are thankful for an opportunity to become better!
Boiling out tears just sitting here at home, wouldn't dare to imagine my reaction of sitting in front of this talented human
That was such an emotional performance from him. I would've cried if I was in her place.
I shed a few tears just watching this. so beautiful.
Everytime watching this video makes me goosebumps.
Justin Vernon, what a voice.
Im gonna passed out by that angelic voice and angelic person itself
Amazing concept :) Everything about Michelberger festival is absolutely brilliant!
Having a love song sung to you must make your heart beat as no other time.
I love this so much. It encapsulates the essence of music as a deeply connective art. An art among many others. It’s virtuous and can make both the server and those served feel empowered. Love.
One time I sat with a friend face to face in his dorm room for a half hour in silence, we learned so much about eachother in those moments, so very vulnerable to be with someone in complete silence.
Holy shit! Very cool that the artists engaged in this idea and what an amazing experience for the lucky ones who got to listen them.
Her reaction and her beauty makes this song so much better..
What I love the most of this clip, is that she is as focused as he is..
will never (truly never) be more envious of someone than i am of her
Such a great song. Great concept
I can’t stop weeping. Embracing and celebrating. Embracing and celebrating...sniff sniff
does tibetan bowl ritual serve as audio palate cleanse?
"That's what my mom named me anyway" may just be the most hippie thing I've ever heard and I'm not even complaining about it.
I cried after briefly meeting him and shaking his hand. I'd lose my shit if this ever happened to me
I never know what he is singing about. It evokes emotion and Justin feels that shit. He sings it with conviction and therefore I feel it.
I seriously would've fainted if he sat in front of me, let alone sing to me.
Why would he be worthless and why is the man part in caps?
Toco Lee Your obviously sad soul makes me pity you.
Delia 🌼🌷😊🌻Do agree ✨💋blissful pure *chills* 🌛 ❤ 🐘🌟🐧😇
Delia omg ditto
Same.
Every time I hear this song it takes me back to when I was in his arms. Thank you Justin Vernon for this.
Did anyone else notice he switched the 2nd sentences of the first and second verse? They work very very well switched
Beautiful choice of location... The acoustics almost made this feel like a gospel experience, and this song was beautiful. I had never heard of this artist till now but I hope you play the United States because I feel like your show would be amazing
This version is tantamount to a religious experience for me... fantastic.
Other ones for me
Sueño Hecho Realidad 🌹💕!
So Love!

Welcome to the definitive version of this song
A man and his guitar=PURE MAGIC
This is the very best video on the internet. 100% hands down.
I would like to be kidnapped like this
I wouldn't lol, looks way too awkward
Wow what an experience that would be..sending shivers down my quivers...every pluck and note sang a beautiful moment shared ❤
This is the best version of this song and no one can convince me otherwise
this is proof that God has favorites and this woman is one of them
I like how they specifically acknowledge the kidnappers in the credits
i love damien rice and justin so much. such a wonderful experience
I would have cried.
Hi Becca
Lead me in like like this in surprise for a proposal and be prepared for a yes
This is perfect
I’m in love with this
Always leave the fantasy the curiosity the surprise the originality
Purity crisp authenticity
Thank you.
“Is this a febreeze commercial”
It is now
Because it's so fresh?
This is the best comment I have seen on the internet.
if someone were to genuinely sit me down blind folded and Justin pops out sitting in front of me I would probably cry real tears before I even had to hear what he was about to say.
kidou
I fall in love with Justin every time, just in time.
Introduced this band to a girl, she introduced me to this song...I can’t say how I really feel about her because it’s not ok in the professional sense.
This is like standing on a cliff. If I speak, I fall but the pain ends. If I don’t, I stay on steady ground but the pain continues.
Say something. What you silence is ultimately what forbids any sense of peace. Say. Something.
I like to think that my fan girl days are behind me but this would legit destroy me.
wow.... this man... the only music i've consistently listened to for the past 8 years
Can't believe it's been forever since I've heard Justin's voice. So soothing and peaceful.
Goosebumps and tears just watching this video, I would've given so much to sit on that chair. The lady in this video didn't seem to enjoy it as much as a fan would have.
One
Stop seeing only what's in front of you. See behind the curtain.
One of the bests musicians in the world
Bob Marley
just wish we could have more of this
my favroite song on the album now has a video. yesssss 🙏🕊️🙏
When he did that falsetto I could literally die in peace
He has so much power behind his voice, love it
someone pls make a tab! This song definitely deserves one
this is the video that made me a bon iver fan
