Every so often I come back to this album. Whipgrass just touches me in a way that makes me feel like I’m a kid again. Justin has a certain magic to his music that nobody can replicate. Wish I could talk to him about this work!
I am stable, I am breakable I am boarded up and begging you I am hoping, I am coping It is storming out here I am broken, I am stolen I am chained up and begging you I am bolder, I am older I am just a brother, babe I am spinning, I am hitting I am loved but not gone I am open, it is pouring in Gonna make you love him more than you even can The kid says mia, I say my-a They freed us, no matter what I say I am older, I am bolder I am just a sister, babe I am older, I am bolder I am just a mother, babe I am older, I am bolder I am just a father, babe This is just the best! Gives me a good feeling :)
This album is just… so comforting. It feels personal, relaxed. It feels like taking a guitar while camping, the sunset going down, accompanied by close friends, cigarette and a smile. I love this.
This is crazy! Music never lies. I was confusing his voice with Bruce Springsteen and, all of a sudden, he started singing Bruce's song?! Oh my God! This shit hit me so hard that happy tears started falling from my eyes... Damn! This cat is full of many beautiful inspirations and influences. His album 'home is' is so BLUES, with talks about Robert Johnson, Louis Armstrong, etc; HIP HOP, with the Jurassic5 and others... A real musician! I'm deeply in love with him... Please, use good headphones or speakers to enjoy it all amazingly!
Hands down my favorite work of yours Mr. Vernon. Thank you for blessing us all with these gems. Your music has truly gotten me thru many phases of life. Rock on !
This album singlehandedly inspired me to make music, to help me realize that I can make music too. Thank you for sharing your art with the world Justin Vernon. We will never die
Have you started? I'm keen to hear what you have so far... I'm also working on my own album, inspired by Bon Iver, Gregory Alan Isakov, Kurt Vile etc. But Bon Iver was the main source of motivation a few years back. Now I'm finally putting it into action I guess.
@@macaroon147 I began making music about five years ago and have put out a couple albums over that time. You can find most of my music on my youtube channel. I think you might be able to find a comment I posted here many years ago too. The amateur quality of Vernon's old solo albums inspired me to put out my stuff despite how bad it might sound, after all, we all start out sounding not so good. My oldest stuff is hidden away on my old soundcloud. I'm happy for you, I hope you're having fun and enjoying your time making music. Enjoying making music is a very important part of making music too! :D
wow this album leveled me today. Feeling the stresses of schoolwork and meeting deadlines. But this just set me straight. Gave me such an honest outlook on the present and immediate future
Beautiful and haunting. I've always been a fan of Justin Vernon's work (particularly Bon Iver). It always special when someone can create a piece of art or music that touches the deepest part of others and carries them elsewhere in some way or another, almost trancendentally.
You never cease to amaze my emotions always on point with your spectacular vibes continue what you do your music is healing and helping peace brother -josh
amazing comment, 3 years later...was justin there at your wedding ;)? all the best , i hope the love shared 3 years ago is still real today.... and lotr RULES!
This album seems to grow in obscurity: it starts with normal folk songs but goes to post-rock after a burst of experimentation in the center. This album seems to embody Justin Vernon's musical journal as far.
If I’m not mistaken it was around 2011/2012 that I remember finding the songs on this album scattered ambiguously all over TH-cam. This was around the time Justin was starting to go a bit mainstream, having just been nominated for an Emmy for Bon Iver (album). Back then, each time I “stumbled” onto one of the songs on this album I thought I struck gold. Indeed, We Will Never Die is perhaps one of the most impactful songs of my adult life. I immigrated to the US 10 years ago and through all the highs and lows, this song has been a constant companion, acting as a source of purpose and fulfillment. Thank you so much for aggregating all the songs of this album in one place.
Justin Dalke not just raw :-) I have been a fan of his beautiful heartfelt music for a while now... He is an inspiration to the music industry his songs feel like hes playing on my heart strings....he is unique and his work is stunning
+charlotte bradley Totally agree, he is my hero. You might like one of mine- hope you don't mind :)soundcloud.com/billyjeffreyjnr/billy-jeffrey-jnr-eternal-blue
I have a signed hard copy of this and we went to see vernon play these songs at the house of rock in ec (2005 i think). he's an even better dude than he is a musician (hard to imagine, but true)
You put that on GODDAMN SPOTIFY NOW!!!
spotify robs from the artists
@@aaronando1218 nothing new under the sun
Listening to this in COVID19. First listened to it in 2015. Nostalgia. Justin is a blessing to mankind!!!!
How does this man have so much music to his name... he is an unbelievable artist really
Couldn't agree less
2023… still here, melancholic since the first day, but my beers are my friends tonight
Stay strong king x
This may be my favorite work of his... It is unpolished and bare in a way that is so transparently passionate and honest.
+Dallas Brown totally. "ring out" and "we will never die" just moves me.
I think you may love "We Can look up" 😉
It's made with one of his oldest band : Mount Vernon. And it's golden
@@benjamindevaux5891have you heard ‘morning’ by Mount Vernon? It’s incredible, and especially considering he was in high school when he wrote it

Exactly the same to me!
Hearing this for the first time. So many emotions, such great talent. Justin is Midas.
Ring it out, most underrated Justin Vernon song ever?! I can't get over that melody
Agree 1000% Such a clever way of turning that phrase over and over and finding new meaning each time.
agreed
Redemption 1 is an insane experience, wow
I am stable, I am breakable
I am boarded up and begging you
I am hoping, I am coping
It is storming out here
I am broken, I am stolen
I am chained up and begging you
I am bolder, I am older
I am just a brother, babe
I am spinning, I am hitting
I am loved but not gone
I am open, it is pouring in
Gonna make you love him more than you even can
The kid says mia, I say my-a
They freed us, no matter what I say
I am older, I am bolder
I am just a sister, babe
I am older, I am bolder
I am just a mother, babe
I am older, I am bolder
I am just a father, babe
This is just the best! Gives me a good feeling :)
This is the most raw and emotional album I've ever heard
Listening to this at work is so weird
I'm about to fcking cry listening to "Sides" at my desk
"Redemption 1 (An Army Man and His Self-Discovery)" is the most incredible thing I've ever heard
"Nothing Better Than a Journey to You" is the one
Listening to this is probably the best decision I've ever made

Anytime one hears unheard music from Justin you know it’s going to be a good day! Very raw and pure.

I still think this is the best of Justin's solo albums. Would kill to have a legit CD copy of it.
Derp download the audio and burn it to a cd, problem solved.
youtube is terrible quality
Didn't you guys read the 'legit' in CD copy?
Thanks Justin, and to the person that found this gem
Nothing better than a journey to you will be our wedding song. I wish Justin could be there to perform it live :)
amazing comment, 3 years later...was justin there at your wedding ;)? all the best , i hope the love shared 3 years ago is still real today.... and lotr RULES!

JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!
his voice is indescribable
This album seems to grow in obscurity: it starts with normal folk songs but goes to post-rock after a burst of experimentation in the center. This album seems to embody Justin Vernon's musical journal as far.
Thank you. My favorites so far are the instrumental tracks..
He's voice is so strong and goes perfectly with the genre
Justin Vernon singing "I'm on fire" from the boss!! OMG!!!!! :)
Brings me back
I almost cried when i re-found this album.
Best TH-cam video to date 10/2020
this makes me feel ok
The trombone in the last track is amazing.
Justin Vernon is amazing!
Less is more Hellen
beautiful
Wow! Had no idea this existed.
Justin Vernon is a gift from god
Te amo justin vernon, your music was a serious revelation for me when I f
ound it for the first time
the compression on those drums in How Many sound perfect with the double tracked acoustics.
so good raw like this....
We will never die

Love Saves the Day
I never get to far from this.

i love ur music
The last song is so beautifull........
I think he coundnt make is mind up springsteen or bragg sorry music for bedsits
this is perfect
At 53:50. Oh my goodness, this is so perfect.
It sounds almost as lonely as something off of For Emma.
It sounds like eddie vedder songs for the movie into the wild
I've never known before he sang "I'm on fire" also ,, love this man
GREAT.....!!!!!!!!!
This is a great album!
I have a signed hard copy of this and we went to see vernon play these songs at the house of rock in ec (2005 i think). he's an even better dude than he is a musician (hard to imagine, but true)
@@fergz9 Man thats awesome! I would love to have seen him live then, and had a chat with him. Did you meet him and talk at the gig?
Es lo mejor Justin vernoon bon iver 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 the best it's great
Return to you might be my favorite
Sometimes I wish he’d just release all of his stuff before Bon Iver on vinyl and iTunes
Esto es increíble
Lovely
Brilliant
Oh haha Matthijs zie nu dat jij dit bent. Je bent een held mucho gracias :D
Haha joe
lekker gewerkt, pik
Amo tanto este calvo
A friendly reminder that this album is still sick. I wish I had a hard copy 😭
Solitude a teacher for life..
damn he's soooo damn gooooooooood
Sides and Ring Out turned me inside out
Master.
true genius.
class
I'm trying to gather all the music justin vernon has done on one playlist. How do i own this 😩😩
🔥
"Sweet, Sweet Magdalene"
Above the code is unreal
Bon Iver + Ben Howard
Nikko Red, YESSSS!!!! Two of the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️
dont forget about damien rice ;)
Most real comment there ever was
They are good too, but Bon Iver + Ben Howard tho
None of these guys compare to Bon
i think this is his best album.
39:00 'The Orient and the Gatsby's...' sounds like a blueprint for 33 GOD, with the left/right vocal snippets and airy drum sounds
Tributary sounds like 666 as well. It’s incredible how he reused all these aspects of old songs for bon iver
Whyyyyyyyy can't o're the hills be longer?
That's a great track.
