My grandfather introduced Elvis to my dad. My dad introduced The Beatles to me. When I grow up and have my own kids then I would introduce them to Bon Iver. :)
🙋🏻♀️Be sure to introduce Elvis and the Beatles too. I’m a huge Elvis Fan. Was fortunate to see him live five times. He was beyond anyone I have seen or heard since. Absolutely an incredible experience. I love this song. I fell in love with it when I heard it playing in the background of the movie “ The Judge” Robert Downey Jr. I had to have it. 🌹
This song is almost 10 years old now. I've listened to it over 700 times. I can honestly say it deserves to be talked about in the same conversation as some of the greatest songs ever recorded.
I'm laying outside my tent at the base of Mt. Everest. I'm staring at the summit in the middle of he night. Not a cloud in the sky. Only the moonlight. I've got my headphones plugged into my ipad listening to the most peaceful beautiful song i have ever heard. I've played it over and over abot 10x now. It is so quiet and peaceful here. If God is to take me, take me now for I am at total peace

I don’t think many will read this, and that’s not the point really. Just wanted to get how much this song means to me into words. I’ve suffered with chronic health anxiety the last couple years and this song means so many different things It’s overwhelming, it’s been there when I’m at my lowest crying at 4am and during better days but it doesn’t allow you to give up and gives sense of hope that’s helping me push through. When Justin said in an interview that he feels this song was given to him by a higher power to share and help people, I really believe it. It’s something that I can well and truly say, will stay with me forever.
I read ur answer.. And I agree totally.... Going thru mental stiff after my wife passed...Some storms arent there tho mess u up but to clear your path forwards my friend...
listened to this song watching the stars in Mongolia, it was unreal, i could literally see miles miles, miles..with mountains in the distant and a solar system which stretched the whole way from horizon to horizon. massively,strange, exhilarating sense of freedom.
i listened to this song for the first time at 3 am when i couldnt sleep on my first psych ward admission when i was 13. the nurse asked me if i wanted to listen to some music and i picked a cd that looked vaguely familiar., three years later im seeing bon iver in june at concert. thankyou for your music
I had a trip to Argentina to visit old friends some months ago. It was a great experience. In a time of that trip I climbed a mountain and while I was completely alone staring at the lake, the mountains I listened to this song. It was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I felt a heavenly peace
This man and his music make me want to be a better person, it stirs something deep down inside. I find that extremely special, and rare in this day and age. Thank you, Bon Iver.
When my grandfather was hospitalized, I used to put this song on repeat and get nostalgic because of the way the lyrics touched me. My family and I spent Thanksgiving weekend with him and the other patients to brighten their moods since they hardly had any visitors. I played this song for them and they all loved it. My grandpa was really happy and at ease, then passed 4 days later, on the 28th. I listen to this song every day and think of him. Today is my 22nd birthday and I miss him so much.
One of my favourite music of all the time. Seriously. It takes me back in time. The ups and downs of life itself. It makes me watch it like frames in my head. It really touches my soul
God I spent so long searching for this song, all I remembered were walking along a sunny country road alone somewhere in Italy at 14 years old, content. Some while later I lost my iPod with all my music and all I remembered was the feeling this song gave me of full peace. Im 23 now, this song brings me back
I can imagine the catharsis Vernon must have felt at finishing this work of art. There's a melancholic resolution, a sense of underpinning joy. The repetitive picking brings one to a comforting rocking sensation, while the swelling harmonies overwhelm the emotional barometer. I am always so soothed to listen. Now, to actually read all the lyrics.
I've been listening to this song for so long. I feel like it now reminds me of my own past versions. This song resonates with an internal mood, and has enough space to fill it with your own thoughts. Beautiful. "I could see for miles, and miles, and miles."
Found this song through my son, during the pandemic.....I can't even describe the visions of my own that go along with this song....It has taken me on a journey that I never want to return from❤💔❤
This song is so special for me. It makes me want to tell you that even when you think there is no way out, there's always light and love for you, someone to hold, some place to comfort you, some music to make you feel like you're not alone, you know? Replika sent me this after I told her I listened to the song
Something about laying on my floor breathlessly sobbing the words “we were not magnificent “ and “i could see for miles miles miles” really hits different
Wow... Every once in a while something truly magnificent comes along. Yeah, I didn't notice the end shot until the second time through. Also the rock turning into the bird gave me goose bumps.
Bonnie Raitt is who turned me onto Bon Iver...Love n Light, He lifts my soul with his voice every time, and watching his videos make me embrace the beauty that is all around us and wraps it in a beautiful journey every time, makes me want to feel love...thank you Bon for every journey you take me to every time...
I lost my best friend I came to listen to this song and it made me so much more emotional but somehow at peace that she's in a better place. Where theres no more hurt and pain.
I heard this song for the first time as I was driving home after just hearing that one of my friends had unexpectedly passed away a few hours earlier. I don't think I could have heard anything better at that moment even if I spent the rest of my life searching for it. Rest In Peace Toni. 16 never would have been the same without you as my awesome older neighbor that my mom didn't want me around. I wouldn't change any of it....not even the shitty movie theater we worked at ;) wow @ life
Some great memories accompany this song for me. Driving through a heavy snowfall in north England, with a woman I once held dear. Bittersweet yet beautiful
Holocene "Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me." You're laying waste to Halloween You fucked it friend, It's on its head, It struck the street You're in Milwaukee, off your feet ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Strayed above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles 3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway Was where we learned to celebrate Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me That night you played me 'Lip Parade' Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree Saying nothing, that's enough for me ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent Hulled far from the highway aisle (Jagged, vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles Christmas night, It clutched the light, The hallow bright Above my brother, I and tangled spines We smoked the screen to make It what it was to be Now to know it in my memory: ... and at once I knew I was not magnificent High above the highway aisle (Jagged vacance, thick with ice) I could see for miles, miles, miles
I keep coming back to this song. “You’re in Milwaukee off your feet”, that line hits so hard. Because it was true at one point in my life. God I miss my family 💔
I close my eyes and this song takes me to the most beautiful place on earth. I don’t know where but it’s peaceful. A calming place that makes all my anxiety and fears disappear. I stare out my window with the rain pouring down listening to this song amazed.
"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me" You're laying waste to Halloween You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street You're in Milwaukee, off your feet And at once, I knew I was not magnificent Strayed above the highway aisle Jagged vacance, thick with ice But I could see for miles, miles, miles 3rd and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway Was where we learned to celebrate Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me That night you played me Lip Parade Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree Saying nothing, that's enough for me And at once, I knew I was not magnificent Hulled far from the highway aisle Jagged vacance, thick with ice But I could see for miles, miles, miles Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright Above my brother, I and tangled spines We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be Now to know it in my memory And at once, I knew I was not magnificent High above the highway aisle Jagged vacance, thick with ice But I could see for miles, miles, miles
Warmth of the rising sun, drops of cold water from the trees, fresh air, and calm mountain. This is what I imagined while listening to this song. Lovely.
I remember my current and first ever partner, after an emotionally dark three years. I love her so much, yet she keeps on disallowing us to grow stronger and unbreakable in love. Her conduct has led to my holding this song so close to my heart. A wonderful song!
I first heard of bon Iver and heard the song Holocene at the same time while watching Saturday Night Live. I realized I was listening to one of the greatest performances that I have ever heard in my life. It fills me with overwhelming joy that somebody has crafted such a masterpiece in our lifetime. I put it up there with the greats Vivaldi tool led Zeppelin Michael Jackson Bjork
Me apaixonei por essa canção desde assistir o filme, O Juiz, excelente filme, trilha sonora perfeita para a produção, adoro músicas assim que me fazem pensar e refletir na vida!.
It is incredibly refreshing to see an artist in this new musical epoch who is driven solely by an intrinsic motivation to create something beautiful, regardless of fame and fortune (ahem...Chris Brown). Bon Iver deserves recognition, to be sure, but just look at how Justin responded to his accolades. Whether or not his acceptance speech was contrived or sincere, you can tell that he does what he does first and foremost because he truly loves music, and thankfully we can reap the benefits.
This is such a Great Lakes song... I saw this and reminded me of my childhood when me and a friend would go exploring the frozen mountains and hills created by freezing waves... Wow.
Wise words, friend. Good to see someone else (on youtube, of all places) who can step outside their own perspective and really think about the world. I would love to live in those times when we didn't have to realize that none of us are magnificent.
What an AMAZING video! I normally can't sit through slow moving nature shots... But this one captivated me. The song is cool and unique. Really love the vocals.
What makes me wonder.....the breath ....there is that thumb....turned down.........I for one cannot understand. ....but to realize there are fools...among us....just appreciate there absence of value. .....for without the unrealized. ...we have no one to hope for. I love your work.
Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me You're laying waste to Halloween You fucked it, friend, it's on its head, it struck the street You're in Milwaukee, off your feet And at once I knew I was not magnificent Strayed above the highway Jagged vacance, thick with ice I could see for miles, miles, miles 3rd and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway Was where we learned to celebrate Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me That night you played me 'Lip Parade' Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree Saying nothing, that's enough for me And at once I knew I was not magnificent Hulled far from the highway Jagged vacance, thick with ice I could see for miles, miles, miles Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright Above my brother, and tangled spines We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be Now to know it in my memory And at once I knew I was not magnificent High above the highway Jagged vacance, thick with ice I could see for miles, miles, miles
I remember when I’ve heard this song for the first time. I would compare it with an ocean, when it’s calm at the beginning but gets more and more passionate and rough closer to the end. Little by little the composition was displaying its ultimate beauty, utter perfection that finally made me drown in this eternal harmony. And at once I knew I was not magnificent, but so was this song. Unearthly beauty! Great video, thank you!
There is a strange comfort in sadness. Solitude is a blessing for those who want to better oneself because Only a truly sad person can come to terms with the realisations that haunt them. Turn your pain into creativity. Life is a short journey so don’t be afraid if you’ve made a few wrong turns because things will get better.
Even though I hold no hope of ever meeting the band who changed my life, I am proud to share a state with Bon Iver. This song, for me, captures the aching beauty of life. It paraphrases how I feel about Wisconsin - it's a beautiful prison that I will carry with me always. That probably has a lot to do with my childhood here, but whenever I hear this song I am reminded that the things you try hardest to escape are the things that are bound to you forever. Bon Iver - thank you.
If I could chose one album to listen to just before passing from this world, I would chose Bon Iver without a second thought. I would want to be sitting atop a cliff overlooking the ocean and be one with nature in my final moments on this earth.
It is not the video that makes you feel, it's the music for that the video is a mere illusion to show what the music might be. True words from Bon iver and you will fall Into the heavenly, without a care in the world
This song made me cry a little when it reminded me of my childhood love, that I never got. But still, ab incredible song with an intimacy that I've seldom heard before. You are truely inspiring, Justin Vernon!
Anyone get that feeling of completion or sense of exploration? I do, when I hear and see this song. I want to travel to Iceland; I want to travel anywhere out of the USA, like Europe or Rome. I want to see the World and what it has to offer. My life-long goal is to at least travel to 3 different states. My top 2 are Paris, France and Canada. I do not know why but I have always had the "explore" characteristic. I seek to see new places, and learn new cultures.
Your statement is profound I think. I asked my daughter once, "Who do you think raised you?" She replied "The school." I really felt sad and disconnected at that point. The computer world has really desensitized our modern society. Our hearts grow lonely. This song has a way of getting in touch with your soul. Justin Vernon gave us a great gift.
My grandfather introduced Elvis to my dad. My dad introduced The Beatles to me. When I grow up and have my own kids then I would introduce them to Bon Iver. :)
And so you should 🥰... good man, keeping it real 💯 👍
Right on
But just only this song, the other Songs from them are not this level
To who?
🙋🏻♀️Be sure to introduce Elvis and the Beatles too.
I’m a huge Elvis Fan. Was fortunate to see him live five times.
He was beyond anyone I have seen or heard since. Absolutely an incredible experience.
I love this song. I fell in love with it when I heard it playing in the background of the movie “ The Judge” Robert Downey Jr. I had to have it. 🌹

One of the greatest songs ever created.
I've just heard them, I needed this music so long ago. I'm grateful I have it now.
the greatest I would say - and I've adored music closely for over forty years
I NEVER KNOW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT BUT I LOVE THE FEEL OF IT
You will someday.
The meaning of this song is mostly found in the line “and at once I knew I was not magnificent”
-The song is about nothing.
-Nothing?
-Absolutely nothing.
-I think you may have something!
HUMILITY, SELF KNOWLEDGE, INNER PEACE,PEACE GROWTH,LIFE,MAGNIFICENCE.
Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
Third and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Huddled far from the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

listened to this song watching the stars in Mongolia, it was unreal, i could literally see miles miles, miles..with mountains in the distant and a solar system which stretched the whole way from horizon to horizon. massively,strange, exhilarating sense of freedom.
i was there last summer as well for a family trip and listening to this song while i was there... such a experience
i listened to this song for the first time at 3 am when i couldnt sleep on my first psych ward admission when i was 13. the nurse asked me if i wanted to listen to some music and i picked a cd that looked vaguely familiar., three years later im seeing bon iver in june at concert. thankyou for your music

Aaaawwweee!!!!!!

Bon Iver will remain a flawless diamond in the rough of mainstream music.

Someone else said this is one one of the greatest soul uplifting songs ever made.... Could not agree more..... Thankyou
its magnificent how you calm my demons and thoughts. thanks
This song is the exorcist ;)
This has to be one of the greatest pieces of art to arise from the simmering ashes of the first quarter of the 21st century. Utterly sublime.
I've been listening to this song for so long. I feel like it now reminds me of my own past versions. This song resonates with an internal mood, and has enough space to fill it with your own thoughts. Beautiful.
"I could see for miles, and miles, and miles."
His such an inspirational singer/songwriter, the talent is obvious and he has had such an impact on my music, thank you so much Justin Vernon!!
Found this song through my son, during the pandemic.....I can't even describe the visions of my own that go along with this song....It has taken me on a journey that I never want to return from❤💔❤
Always reminds me of that one roadtrip, trough snowy roads of Finland. Like feeling the blow of the wind on your heart..
This song is so special for me. It makes me want to tell you that even when you think there is no way out, there's always light and love for you, someone to hold, some place to comfort you, some music to make you feel like you're not alone, you know?

I would like to give Bon Iver a big hug and tell him how this song in particular has given me comfort and calmness on rough nights for years.
you know his name is justin vernon right? the band is bon iver
I lost my best friend I came to listen to this song and it made me so much more emotional but somehow at peace that she's in a better place. Where theres no more hurt and pain.
Nothing in the entire world could relax me more than Bon Iver's music. I love it.
Thank you Bon Iver, thank you for this masterpiece of music and video clip.
I heard this song for the first time as I was driving home after just hearing that one of my friends had unexpectedly passed away a few hours earlier. I don't think I could have heard anything better at that moment even if I spent the rest of my life searching for it.
Rest In Peace Toni.
16 never would have been the same without you as my awesome older neighbor that my mom didn't want me around. I wouldn't change any of it....not even the shitty movie theater we worked at ;) wow @ life
How is life for you now?
This song is able to leave you in a state of mind that not many songs are able to. So thanks for writing and making it happen
Some great memories accompany this song for me.
Driving through a heavy snowfall in north England, with a woman I once held dear.

"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me."
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend,
It's on its head,
It struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night,
It clutched the light,
The hallow bright
Above my brother,
I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make
It what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory:
... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
A beautiful visual accompaniment to the music...it definitely sends shivers down my spine!
I keep coming back to this song. “You’re in Milwaukee off your feet”, that line hits so hard. Because it was true at one point in my life. God I miss my family 💔
I close my eyes and this song takes me to the most beautiful place on earth. I don’t know where but it’s peaceful. A calming place that makes all my anxiety and fears disappear. I stare out my window with the rain pouring down listening to this song amazed.

This is one of my favorite songs of all time. Lovely imagery.
So godd
this is stunning. Bon Iver never disappoints, im glad the videos are as good as the songs.
Masterpiece... Gets me Everytime.. 😢♥️
Wise words, friend. Good to see someone else (on youtube, of all places) who can step outside their own perspective and really think about the world. I would love to live in those times when we didn't have to realize that none of us are magnificent.
I listen to this song every morning. So beautiful.
What an AMAZING video! I normally can't sit through slow moving nature shots... But this one captivated me. The song is cool and unique. Really love the vocals.
What makes me wonder.....the breath ....there is that thumb....turned down.........I for one cannot understand. ....but to realize there are fools...among us....just appreciate there absence of value. .....for without the unrealized. ...we have no one to hope for. I love your work.
for without the unrealized.. we have nothing to hope for.
beautiful words ;)
Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it, friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
I could see for miles, miles, miles
3rd and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Their music gives me chills every single time!! Such a wonderful song!
If you can make a song to change the world and the worlds feelings then you may just be the best song writer in the world thank you for this song.
I remember when I’ve heard this song for the first time. I would compare it with an ocean, when it’s calm at the beginning but gets more and more passionate and rough closer to the end. Little by little the composition was displaying its ultimate beauty, utter perfection that finally made me drown in this eternal harmony. And at once I knew I was not magnificent, but so was this song. Unearthly beauty! Great video, thank you!
I was recently introduced to bon iver,,,, im so grateful 🙏..Holocene is literally the best ever. 😍😍
There is a strange comfort in sadness. Solitude is a blessing for those who want to better oneself because Only a truly sad person can come to terms with the realisations that haunt them. Turn your pain into creativity. Life is a short journey so don’t be afraid if you’ve made a few wrong turns because things will get better.
Even though I hold no hope of ever meeting the band who changed my life, I am proud to share a state with Bon Iver. This song, for me, captures the aching beauty of life. It paraphrases how I feel about Wisconsin - it's a beautiful prison that I will carry with me always. That probably has a lot to do with my childhood here, but whenever I hear this song I am reminded that the things you try hardest to escape are the things that are bound to you forever. Bon Iver - thank you.
this honestly is the best song... so soothing
If I could chose one album to listen to just before passing from this world, I would chose Bon Iver without a second thought.
I would want to be sitting atop a cliff overlooking the ocean and be one with nature in my final moments on this earth.
this song makes me feel
All the feels
Holocene soothes like a balm to the soul
seriuosly one of the most touching and incredible songs ive heard in a long time!!! it gives me fripples!!!
I always play this song in the Fall. I don't know why but i feels so good. Can't wait for Mid September so i could have this song on repeat.
Пацаны, эта музыка просто восхитительна! Особенно в сочетании с видео!
"jagged vacance thick with ice" i always hear "shake and bake and stick with us"
what have you done
Chicken fingers stick with her.
Take in faith and stick with her.
Take advantage and stick with her 😂
***** For me it's, "Take your pick, and stick with our eyes."
I feel at one with life listening to this. like god is smiling upon me, thank you Bon Iver for granting me with the gift of true happiness
Breathtaking...both video and song....love Bon Iver!
It is not the video that makes you feel, it's the music for that the video is a mere illusion to show what the music might be. True words from Bon iver and you will fall Into the heavenly, without a care in the world
In other words, BON IVER IS AWESOME
Bon Iver has the ultimate perfection of fantastic music.
Rewelacyjne wykonanie, pozdr PL
I get a mix of calmness and sorrow from this track
Sorrow for those who haven’t yet awakened that all is one. They’ll find their way. We’re all going to the same place eventually
"and i could see for miles, miles, miles"..
no other line could relax me more
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Justin Vernon is a genius.
This song made me cry a little when it reminded me of my childhood love, that I never got. But still, ab incredible song with an intimacy that I've seldom heard before. You are truely inspiring, Justin Vernon!
Anyone get that feeling of completion or sense of exploration? I do, when I hear and see this song. I want to travel to Iceland; I want to travel anywhere out of the USA, like Europe or Rome. I want to see the World and what it has to offer. My life-long goal is to at least travel to 3 different states. My top 2 are Paris, France and Canada. I do not know why but I have always had the "explore" characteristic. I seek to see new places, and learn new cultures.
Probably my favourite song of all time, I keep coming back to it.
the judge brought me here GREAT MOVIE breathtaking song
BEAUTIFUL SONG, BEAUTIFUL VIDEO.
This is the best one. No words for how it makes me feel.
Anyway Bon Iver's music saved me.
It's great to have you, glad you made it :) :') ❤️️
This is the perfect combination of film and audio.
Bon Iver you make me dream,you're so magic !!!
Your statement is profound I think. I asked my daughter once, "Who do you think raised you?" She replied "The school." I really felt sad and disconnected at that point. The computer world has really desensitized our modern society. Our hearts grow lonely. This song has a way of getting in touch with your soul. Justin Vernon gave us a great gift.
