Bon Iver - I Can't Make You Love Me / Nick Of Time

- I realised a while ago that this specific version of "I can't make you love me" had been taken down from youtube so I'm putting it back up. Hope that TH-cam doesn't delete it... Enjoy!
My brother used to play this on my mums grand piano and it would fill the house. I always thought it was beautiful but I hadn’t appreciated it fully until the last few years. After he passed I learned a simplified version (that I don’t have to stretch for) and it’s taken me back to this video so many damn times.
Miss you bro x
I miss my brother too, music was something we shared a deep love for.
I miss my older brother too, thanks for sharing
Been in love with a guy for about 5 yrs… or crushing on him at the very least. Only saw him once a month cus we were going to the same charity meetings but looked forward to every single one. We seemed to have a connection - he was a lovely, kind human being. finally summoned up the courage to ask him out for a coffee (after surviving covid) and he said he doesn’t like hot drinks. Then I asked him out (OUT) and he said he “wasn’t expecting that and was hoping to just stay friends”… oof. I thought I had given a few hints like texting him ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ followed by a Jim & Pam meme and Xxxxxs but I guess he doesn’t watch the Office. I love you, you beautiful human being. I’m the Jim in this equation and he’s my Pam, except in this version Pam is not interested and Jim got no real closure. I hope someone sees this and that it makes them laugh/cry ahah. Yours sincerely, future cat lady xoxo
Sorry to read this. Love hits when least expected. At 19 I was alone, stopped worrying about it and then things changed
Love finds you when you least expect it and hits in the best way! This was your trial run for the real thing that's around the corner :)
That's a good story and you told it well. You have a fine sense of humor. Pam however seems to me incredibly awkward. I mean..."I don't like hot drinks?" That's like the lamest reply since..."No thank you Eve, but I don't feel like eating an apple just now, I've just brushed my teeth". Come ON, where would we all be if it had gone that way then? I hope these past five years, one wasted on Covid anyway, have taught you that life is SHORT. You should spend it loving and being loved. You have the guts for loving someone, you lucky woman with the fine sense of humor (dear me, that's already TWO gorgeous things about you: a fine sense of humor and the ability to love). Stop searching and have a wonderful man find you. He'll be lucky and I bet there'll be a lot of joy for the two of you. Don't mind the pain. The cat can wait til you're eighty-five.
Your Jim is out there.
@@dumena Adam should have done that. We'd all be living in paradise. Restraint is the parent of civility.
My daughter passed in December-the most sensitive person you could imagine, her love, the deepest I’ve ever experienced - this was her favorite song. The world lost a living Angel - should’ve known….
So sorry for your loss 💗💗
💔💔💔💔
@@Raybee100 thank you 💔
i'm so sorry
I am so sorry for your loss, I can't even begin to imagine the pain. I keep you in my prayers.
Confession: Ive listened to this on loop for three days straight at work. not ever joking. it helped me process some of the most difficult chapters in my life.
Careful- when I did the same I nearly left everything and everyone I loved.
Hope you're doing better now
Hope your doing well brother
Listen to Bonnie Rait's version. Also wonderful.
I hope you're in a better place, man
this version will never be topped
You need to listen to Bonnie Raitt's original and also Paul Carrack. This is good but not a patch on the two that I have mentioned. Enjoy
Wow, you're right!!! Pauls' is also incredible!!!
George Michael beats anyone
I love this version but I prefer George Michael's much more - as well as Teddy Swim's amazing cover, you should check it out
There are some really great versions out there - can we just agree that, without needing to decide which is best.
Three weeks later ... I’m absolutely slayed by George Michael’s version.
And now I’ve found one by Justin and Sean Carey which is pretty special.
I was in love with my guy bestfriend when i was in highschool but i never told him because i didn’t wanna ruin our friendship ! I regret it because now it’s been 7 years since he passed away and i miss him so much ! He was such a pure human being ,the most beautiful soul i have ever met… today i’m 27 years old and still can’t get over him , over our friendship
It kills me to say that i lost my soulmate and my bestfriend !
I will always keep our memories together in a special place in my heart… and i will always remember you, my dearest friend !
This song was my gateway drug to Bon Iver, and I'm so glad for it.
Snap
😂😂😂
Same here🙏
He left me three weeks ago, im 5 months pregnant. The grief during this time is undescribable. Ive listened to bon iver for 10 years and somehow never heard this song yet.. what a beautiful time to hear this song for the first time
Hope you know that you are loved… and know that the pain you feel is nothing compared to the love you will have for your child.
wishing you the best! :(
Time to shine
you deserve & are worthy of love. you are a strong human. keep going lovely, it will all be worth it in the end 🖤 :)
Check out Bon Iver's cover of Your Love, originally by The Outfield if you haven't heard it yet. Different vibe from this, but still great, especially if you can find the version that's been cleaned up a little.
Four days ago my partner of 6 years told me that she doesn't love me anymore... I never expected anything like that and it shattered my world. never felt anything like that... I've known and loved this song for so many years but only now I can really understand the words and pain Bon Iver is describing.
Eventually even the worst pain will slowly fade, but at the moment fully submerging into that pain is my way to go. It's better to feel pain than nothing at all.
Keep your chin up 🤗
that sucks
your love for yourself is what matters now. heal and rediscover yourself at your own pace.
It will pass eventually . Stay strong my dear friend ❤️❤️
And I am having to let someone go I love so much and was my first love and then met up again 3 years ago but it’s been a very rocky road and I have been so ill and had strokes now and have so much wrong with me and he can’t cope with it all and I know doesn’t love me enough so in need to let him go and that’s one of the hardest things I have had to do and I want him to go and be happy x
This song is truly a work of art.... Like it puts into words so perfectly what I often feel time and again when I have fallen in love. If you ever love someone who loves you back consider yourself blessed. Not everyone is as fortunate.
"... If you're in love, then you're the lucky one. 'Cause most of us are bitter over someone..." - Daughter (Youth)
Truth
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
Thanks
It's said that music finds you at the right moment.
I need this.
Gonna sing it to him today. And hope he makes me stay.
Thank you 💙
@@sandrasousa7734 did he?
@@laurenrees1920 he did 💚
Fantastic
An interesting fact about this version is it that it's still on TH-cam but since that EU law came in last year, it is unavailable in a lot of country's. If you use a VPN you can still find the video in TH-cam given you set your location to the right country (I don't know what country's it works in unfortunately)
I can't thank you enjoy for the reupload though since I personally don't have a VPN on my phone, where I listen to most of my music :)
vimeo.com/25446572
The other video with this exact song with video of the sea works in the UK
@@bmg2507 it's not the same without the video though :(
Daichi Brands thank u so much for this
@Chris Leggat So does the US
Brings me to tears every time but I absolutely love this version ❤ gutted when Spotify removed it! Hits hard like my throats closing up every time, his emotion is obscenely transparent you can hear how hurt he sounds 💔
i know ive only just discovered Bon Iver after tracing back the origins of Skinny Love....and it took that song to awhole new level for me... as skinny love was a staple when my nephew was so ill and now i know this extraordinary singer songwriter and thats an unexpected blessing .Isnt he so heartfelt and brave about sharing it. i understand your tears louise thats what music is about in the end ... moving someone completely with your truth😌😌😌
It truly does... what a wonderful experience!
Thank You Victor this was my song when my mum passed, it’s 11 in the am I’m crying beyond belief, but in a good way I’ve been searching for at least 6 months, so thanks again what a gift my friend you will never know x
I’m so sorry for your loss joe ❤️❤️ stay strong
@@leahsilverstein I’m fine but thanks x
In 2 week its been 18 years without my mum I miss her so so much
@@GingerbreadGirl1983 yeah I know it’s supposed to get easier with time and I think it has for me although I feel great sadness is balanced with great memories of joy in my life because she was a remarkable woman that still gives me strength x
I spent months distraught and broken looking for this version. You are a saviour
Why it is was taken down? I don't know the background story.
@@sakshiwadhwa8868 Probably by the record company.
❤
i still remember his moves over the piano though, the video was also touching, but this version is sick in every single way possible, thank you
Check this out...
th-cam.com/video/Q3VjaCy5gck/w-d-xo.html
I cant understand why it was taken down. Its truly one of the most beutifulles songs i have ever heard
Nothing can prepared you for a long conversation with someone, who doesn't really care, really doesn't know what empathy feels like or really loves you.
this is such a lyric
A few people have commented this but my many thanks for re-upping this. I really missed it!
That one song, that no matter what.... Will always remind you of what could have been if only you'd have tried.
But, I can't make you love me if you don't!
Truest of words.
Those first few piano keys hit me every time
Thank you for putting this up. Was heartbroken when they took the video down. I completely LOVE this version of the song. Love Justin’s voice x
Me too. I'd regularly find it during late nights. It was a reliable, whether I needed to cry, or just needed to listen to something beautiful, or both. When it disappeared I searched for hours trying to find it.
Yes me too as its mine and my girlfriends song or my song to her just before we actually went into our relationship. I can remember playing it on TH-cam and my eyes just started welling up with tears then her just holding me and us both sobbing and her saying "why do you always play sad music like this"
I express myself with music so I listen to songs of how I'm feeling.
Thank you for uploading this, means very much to me and have been missing it for years
Why they take it down
Jake Misselbrook it’s okay bro
This cover means everything to me. Thank you for uploading this.
no problem
From one hooper to another 😊
“Morning will come, and I’ll do what’s right; just give me til then to give up this fight - I will give up this fight.”
One of the most beautiful songs ever written 😭😭😭
One of the saddest songs I've ever heard!
I love this song, although it´s very sad
This is a beautiful Bonnie Raitt cover. First time hearing this. Piano is to die for
This hits so hard. It's the song of the worst heartbreak I ever had back in 2012 (but it lastet soo long). I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power but you don't...no you don't" and "I close my eyes, then I don't see the love you don't feel when you're holding me" - it was like these words were just written for my situation (he who just wanted to be friends with benefits and I was so in love).
this song saved my life. Thank you, dear Bon Iver
Its not his song. But he has a great version of it yeah
you saved yourself. have faith in yourself!
So immensely glad I could download the video when it was still here. As historian, I'm still thinking that one day, the first decades of internet will be considered as period of a huge loss of written sourcess. Everything is online in the cloud until...
I can't make you love me if you dont... Can we alle agree it hurts as hell when you think you found someone special and they were not
he doesn't like me anymore :(
@@sophieeel4478 Sorry to hear it. But take it from someone experienced. Move on. There'll be lots of guys who wants you
This is the best and only version I’m able to hear…. It’s prefect in every sense…. Thanks for the upload ❤
And just when you need it, it’s back 🙌🏻
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Our saviour thanks
I always really struggle to find this version. I don't know why it's absolutely beautiful
@@greghelm843 the video used to work but got removed for legal reasons , absolutely love this version the video is on Vimeo.
George Michael’s and Tank’s versions are pretty special too.
The one in "Live at air studios" is better
@@andytaylor248 Is that the one with Sean Carey? Very lovely too!
This song touches in a way nothing else can, beautiful ❤
ITS BACK!!! Forever in debt my man!! Thank you so much
Thank you for bringing this back, I love this version with Justin's vocals
Still here in 2021. This version is just, well... 💙
This song holds so much memories of you. I still miss you. Even after al this time
watching this video and thinking/questioning/contemplating out loud:
Do I feel worthy of receiving a partner?
Do I feel worthy of being seen, loved, respected, desired?
Do I love, see, respect and desire myself?
What is my belief system about men? About women?
How are men in my world? How do I perceive them? How about women?
What is my belief system about myself?
How do I carry myself in this world?
How do I perceive myself?
What have my parents taught me about relationships?
What stories have I adopted as my own, about relationships?
Thee best and most heartbreaking version of this song, so raw and you can feel every single word 💜🤍
After barely even hugging a female for the last 8 years.. This shit hits hard.. But it's more important to be happy in your own company, we don't truly need anyone else- just sometimes it would be nice 😊
i feel you. eventually "the one" will find you brother, just keep doing your business and one day you will come across her 🙏🏼
Gorgeous lyrics and something close to perfection when you have love and lost. Truly heartbreaking
This is truly a beautiful version...one of the deepest one's I've heard...but we need to give credit to Bonnie Raitt who did it originally
Bon Iver adds his own flavor which is awesome but 75% of it is someone else's work.
singer Bonnie Raitt
"I Can't Make You Love Me" is a song written by Mike Reid and Allen Shamblin and recorded by American singer Bonnie Raitt for her eleventh studio album Luck of the Draw (1991). Piano is a mixture of Bruce Hornsby and Bon Iver adding his flavor.
Beautiful rendition
Exquisite song, voice, tempo. Soulful and heartfelt right to core. Thank you for sharing such beauty ❤️
El mundo necesita más canciones como esta
Thank you so much for reuploading this! I've been coming back to the old video since I was a teenager, it's become personal somehow. Can you still see the video somewhere? The emotion in this performance is just beyond beautiful and it'd be so sad to never get to see it again :(
thanks so much ! I was looking for that specific version from Bon Iver, which is perfection to me. Bon Iver you rock !
My Partner and I are listening to this right now.. Dunno, its just really nice to have somebody to share this experience with.... 😪
This song still giving me LIVE after so many years listening
Everytime I hear this intro, I yearn to sit down at my dear old freinds, the ebonys and ivorys and have a little plinky plonk myself. Such a beautiful recording of a lovely sounding piano. I'm sure any fellow player can relate.
Been alone for 10 years. Finally met a girl that made me feel again. Seemed things were going alright. Stuff happened and i had to move. She said she just wanted to be friends. I love and hate her for making me feel again. Such is life, i hope everyone finds someone eventually
This version is a hundred million times better than the original song. So much more emotion.
always coming back to this song
Where have you been 😮 thankyou for putting this back up 😢 💫💜
thank youuuu!! can't believe the video was deleted :(
I keep coming here every single week. Thank you
Best version I've ever heard! ❤
Thank you for re-uploading this :)
Finally back on TH-cam 🙌
Thank you I been looking for this masterpiece for a long time 😭😭
this version can’t be stopped! thank you m8
I am so glad this is back!! It crushed mr when it was una unavailable in my country! I could only listen when I eas travelling !
❤ enjoying this rendition of this beautiful song
Thank god this is back
Thank you so much. This version has a lot of sentimental value to me. 💙
Amazing song,it s a rollercoaster for many people
so happy you added this back up. Best version, so beautiful
To those of you looking for the original video accompanying this track: It's on a website called Dailymotion and titled (surprise!) Bon Iver - I Can't Make You Love Me/Nick of Time.
You're welcome 😘
No words.... Only good vibes and much love ❤🎉❤🎉
And as always here i am again.. so sad they got rid of the video with the seascape used to love mindlessly sorting through my emotions to that video and this song.. over and over.. wanting to just be there thankyou for the music and soul 😭❤️
I feel like my real self has has been singing this song (one of my favorites) to my mind for a long time…love this version!
My father loved my mother so much that to make her feel more mentally better he moved out and lived with his mum when I was about 10 I would see him every day and we would still do stuff like a family he loved my mum he would tell her every day yet for some unknown reason she didn't love him I only heard her say I love you to him on the day he died suddenly one year ago I miss my father so much and hate my mother so much for this all the years of pain she put him through my father knew she didn't love him but he just didn't care she messed his head up so much I have a son on the way and she will have nothing to do with him but despite my father being gone my son will know who his grandad is as his middle name is going to be my father's first name RIP Father love you always 🕊️😥
I've never been in love and I've never experienced love from anyone (apart from my family/close friends). I have started to wonder if i ever will...but as pointed out by this beautiful song, i can't make you (anyone) love me...maybe it's just not meant to be. Xx
It’s the most wonderful and painful experience in life 😢
Simply beautiful. Enough said
Awesome thank you, I also love it so much and just saw here that you have been uploading it again. How precious music is! Irresistible and irreplaceable!
Lay down, press play, close your eyes and breathe it all out. Bliss. Thank you Bon Iver. 😊
Yes I couldn't find it anymore! Such a masterpiece
I would love to see the video for this again. If it was a financial thing I have no doubt a go fund me would raise enough. Its a beautiful song, sung in a beautiful way by Justin and filmed in a simple and beautiful way.
Absolutely wonderful! ❤
There are few things that soothe my heart and mind like this song. thanks for the reupload - I panicked when it disappeared
I need a 10 hour loop of this
i still look for this recorded video. i'll never forgive youtube for taking it down
The original song was my parents song. I had them listen to this rendition and now this is their song. And my song as well, to an extent.
Thank you for this post! I am a regular listener of this classic!
If ever there was a case for perfection, this is its defence. Bravo that man ❤️
Wow so beautiful
There is live Concert on TH-cam from the year 2016
I can recommend this as well
where is the real video with him actually playing? it was so beautiful.
You can find it on vimeo
Magnifique reprise…❤
I met someone months ago who I really was drawn to and only really wanted an opportunity to get to know her better and maybe find love. After many good talks and me offering myself to try try to find some way to be part of her life I'm realizing that it's just not going to happen for us. It's hard when someone so special becomes an object of our hearts desire but it is not returned.
Best version ever written. Done
Sad song for anyone who loves and doesn't receive love 💓
Incase you are one of these people. I love you. Even if I don’t know you. Your life is precious and I’m rooting for you
if you like bon iver i strongly recommend “lufu” by Homes, incredible album.
One of those situations where the cover is way better than the original. You can stay drunk to this for a year!
Thx you so much i was missing it so much
TH-cam randomly popped this song for me just at the right time in my life.
Thank you for putting this up.
Thank you so much for putting this up❤❤❤
This version belongs in the universe. I turn the lights off and have turn it up loud.
for uploading this again! I missed it so much! Means the world to me!
Forgot all about this one. Classic.
