This is my absolute favorite song of all time. Re: Stacks has helped me get through the hardest times of my life & the fact that you posted this on a day where I truly needed it just shows how powerful music is. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ♥️
I literally cried as I was listening to her cover. Just like you, I listen to this song whenever I'm feeling down and it has helped me through the darkest days. I wish you all the best, Mikaela. *hugs!* Thank you, Alice ♡
I don't know why people hold Justin in such high regard that it would be considered a "crime" to cover him. Most people can't really do him justice, certainly, but holding an artist to that regard is putting him on an unnecessary pedestal. There are plenty of artists out there just as good and better than Bon Iver. This cover is proof he can be covered, and so is Birdy's version of Skinny Love.
@@themessenger8334 birdy's skinny love is great and all, but the feelings that come out from justin's are out of this world--maybe that's because of whatever he was thinking in that cabin in the woods.
Re: Stacks has always had a special grasp over me. It would seem like a sin to cover Bon Iver, but we all know how beautifully you covered some of his other masterpieces... and it seems like you stay true to that same notion, Alice! Thank you.
That little corner of a sunny window and green trees reflected in the mirror hit me right in my soul here in cold, dark January. Beautiful version of a beautiful song.
Normally I listen to Bon Iver songs for the soundscape it creates, but when you drill down and pay attention to the lyrics, it really makes you wonder what Justin Vernon's songwriting process is like, because, my God, that is one dense song.
There's a great video on RUclips that does an analysis of this song i highly recommend it! I forgot the name of the channel tho, there's also one by the nerdwriter where he analyses Holocene, it's very interesting!
He wrote "For Emma, Forever Ago" by humming melodies over the chords and then coming up with the words afterwards. Totally agree with you on the fact that his melodies and soundscapes are absolutely enchanting.
Actually no of the lyrics really make sense. The first time that there were songs which made sense is on the new album i,i. Justin always wrote his lyrics thinking about which syllables would fit the instrumental. It's such a unique way to make music but this is one of the reasons he is able to create those wonderful soundscapes.
This cover is just giving me such an unexplainable emotion, her voice, the vibrations, the guitar, it's all just so beautiful I don't know how to describe what I'm feeling.
Alice... I am so taken back by how pure, raw and authentic you are. I am just relaxing by the fireplace and suddenly your video crosses my path. I have absolutely adored Bon Iver for many years. Please, never change who you are. You have such an ethereal, otherwordly, powerful yet balanced innocence in the way you performed this. I wish there were more words to convey the way you just effected my soul. Thank you. Truly thank you. This made me cry in the most genuine and happy way. 💖🌠🌟
Re: Stacks is my absolute favorite song ever. It transports me to a whole new world every time I'm listening to it. Thank you for covering it and for making this little diamond known by more people. You did awesome, I'm covered in chills. Love your work
Two of my favorites music artists , you and Bon Iver. Thank you for making all my days much more enjoyable, i really hope one day can you understand how important your videos is for a lot of people, including me. Maybe you already know it, what ever. Much love from Brasil.
I made mistakes that made me loose ppl I loved and I never forgave myself to the point to believe I no more deserve that kind of love. And this song cleans my soul from the sins I carry. I cry every time and somehow find a bit of the forgiveness I so much need. Thank you so much
You don't try to add any vocal riffs or jumps that aren't needed, and that honestly made this. If someone tried to glitter this song with flowery vocals and impressive little accents and what not, you would ruin the entire mood. You did this brilliantly. Thank you for respecting the beauty and tone of this song.
The way you let the guitar accompany your voice and not the other way around- to the point that even in the video, we barely see the guitar, we see mostly you- is absolutely brilliant. It's such a great interpretation. This is a beautiful song, and you brought it absolute justice. Thanks for this, Alice. Cheers, and keep pouring your soul into your music.
I just sit and watch in awe of your talent. I feel this kind of envy ( but not in a negative way,) this desire to be even half as talented as you are. You're angelical
Such a beautiful cover. I listen to this song nightly when I put my daughters to sleep. We have for years. This is so so beautiful. And brings tears to my eyes. Someday they’ll hear this song and think of all of those sleepy cuddle nights....
Weirdly, I go through phases where I can't seem to stand listening to music. Your covers feel so safe. It feels like the only thing I can listen to right now. Thank you, x
god girl. so many goosebumps. when i listen to songs like this i always wonder if somebody else loves these songs as much as i do, and now here you are. you are an angel. stunning in all ways. beautiful. beautiful. beautiful.
dude being a die hard fan of justin i was worried i wouldn’t enjoy a cover of my favorite song but you brought tears to my eyes in the first 45 seconds. holy shit you did this song justice and so much more
You inhabit this song with the exact emotion and mood and soul it conveys. When this album first came out I couldn’t hear any of it without having tears in my eyes.... thanks for reminding me.
This song has an impact on so many people in such a beautiful way and it is one of the hardest songs to cover due to the emotion that Justin pours into his music, great cover and great choice, you will have gained my sub 😊
not 1 billions likes are enough for what you did here. This is magical, got goosebumps and a calm smile while listening to you. You are a f. angel, I swear you are. I want it on Spotify gosh
You are such an incredible singer! It is so hard to have that amount of control when singing so softly. Your voice has wonderful texture, depth, and is unique. You are truly gifted.
Why is it called brand account now ? I thought someone stole your videos for a second lol...always the most magical beautiful covers of my favourite songs ❤🎶 💫 pure magic
so beautiful :’( ... you give me goose bumps & teary eyes every time. i’ve loved this song for so long & i needed to hear this right now. i love your covers so much, thank you. xx
I think it's just a placeholder for the "name" of the "brand". Very unprofessional of Google, or may I say "Brand Name" Google. It could also be that Alex left her username field empty and Google filled in the same way Apps name your unnamed document "untitled xx" Notice that her profile pic is gone and replaced with the generic B.
You look like a blonde Audrey Hepburn and you’ve got the voice of an angel, like what? Goals
I was thinking Kate Bosworth, too.
Natalie Portman
totally Natalie Portman
Your goal is to look like Audrey Hepburn and sing like this girl? Random

This is my absolute favorite song of all time. Re: Stacks has helped me get through the hardest times of my life & the fact that you posted this on a day where I truly needed it just shows how powerful music is. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ♥️
Mikaela Mae All the best for you❤️
I couldn’t agree more, one of the most amazing songs in existence
I literally cried as I was listening to her cover. Just like you, I listen to this song whenever I'm feeling down and it has helped me through the darkest days. I wish you all the best, Mikaela. *hugs!*
Thank you, Alice ♡
Chin up
Same here :') lots of love
most of the time I feel like covering Bon Iver is a crime but you have the perfect voice to do it justice. this is beautiful.
The Voice and the feeling, she feels this song that's make the difference.

@@penis2020_ Thanks Molly! Was referring to Justin Vernon!
Was gonna add my own comment to the vid but you perfectly summed up how I feel about it haha
Mishel Khan ah my b, little bit of a pet peeve of mine lol
@@penis2020_ bon iver is a religion
Listened to this sitting near a lost creek in a forest with no sound around. One of the most peaceful moment of my life, thanks
That little corner of a sunny window and green trees reflected in the mirror hit me right in my soul here in cold, dark January. Beautiful version of a beautiful song.
One of my favourite songs ever. I'm super glad you still make bon iver covers after all these years. All the love, from belgium.
The way you sang the line "he's dangling my keys, he even fakes a toss" brought instant tears to my eyes 😭

my fave bon iver song 🥺
Alice is the prettiest, most natural face i have ever seen in this platform. And her voice, well, we all know how majestic and powerful her voice is.

Going through a really tough time right now. This gives me a glimmer of hope that there's something as beautiful as this in this world.
There's always a certain feels to her songs, a melancholia.. bitter sweet ❤️
It’s now coming too a point where I’m listening to this more than Bon Ivers version! Merry Christmas xx
I’ve never heard a cover of this I liked. Goosebumps.
Nicholas Santovasi same. Just wow
This is pure insanity. Your voice fits this song perfectly. I am utterly in love with this cover
You're the most beautiful person I've ever seen
Me too
Amen
How does it feel to be God’s favorite child, Alice?
Alice singing bon iver is my favourite thing in the world

Best Bon Iver song no contest.
You’re always covering my favorite songs and making me fall more in love with it.
This is one of my favourite songs and this cover is just as soothing as the origional. I have no words
My favorite song of the album for sure, probably favorite song of Bon Iver.
when im lonely and scared about the future i listen to this. it gives me some kind of comfort
please do the whole album. you inspire me so much. my guitar is in hand, singing/playing along with you!
so calming. thank you.

Every time Im sad, I come here. Thx to cheers me up
Incredible!Amazing!Heavenly!
didn’t know i was gonna cry this early in the day but here we are
I gotta say, not many people can live up to being on par with a Bon Iver song. With matching that emotion. But this was exceptional. And beautiful.
You have got some serious skill and control over your voice. I could listen to this all day long!
so so so iconic song and Alice... Am I dreaming?
I love the way you take your time. Very comforting!
dude being a die hard fan of justin i was worried i wouldn’t enjoy a cover of my favorite song but you brought tears to my eyes in the first 45 seconds. holy shit you did this song justice and so much more
I just want to be under a blanket during a rainstorm and listen to this forever.
this is so pure.
Beautiful!!! So beautiful!!! Song cover, voice, and person!!! All just BEAUTIFUL!!!
I don’t understand how you aren’t a superstar yet. Absolutely incredible.
You inhabit this song with the exact emotion and mood and soul it conveys. When this album first came out I couldn’t hear any of it without having tears in my eyes.... thanks for reminding me.

The look at the end is how I feel. Always
Beautiful. Great job!
