I’m not trying to get hounded in the comments for not appreciating the new music, because I do. I saw Justin last year do the entire 22 A Million album and it was brilliant. But this...THIS is the Bon Iver I fell in love with. The purest, rawest, most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. This album changed my life and it still moved me every single time. For Emma FOREVER
@walt chambelain AMEN. I saw him play live in LA a month ago. It was my 3rd time seeing him; his music is incredible, but I'm still in love with the For Emma album. Its so powerful, and the memories you make with an album like that can't really be replicated.
Just come back to watch and listen to this epic tune.....but equally epic is the "if I started a band..... comment....thanks again for making me smile.
Holly molly, the director of this video is awesome. Is not till the end, when he uncovers that their playing inside a little kids room, as grown up little boys.. Completely brining the song in full circle. Great freaking job.
Dang and somehow I always associate the Flume as the shedding off naivete and innocence after having your heartbroken for the first time, like you will never see things the same way again. Like this vid is art for real!
***** a brilliant man and a band, his falsetto is maybe the most perfect sound our brains ever heard because it just fills up all the cracks that made our thoughts break and this version where the quality is great is just the perfect thing... same here, cannot get over how good it is
Chase Merritt not the best ever in terms of quality, that's for sure - but the emotion he puts in his voice, the music surrounding the voice completes it in perfection, for me at least. it's a subjective theme. I made that comment in a time when emotions came through hard and I've always loved Justin/Bon Iver :)
Justin Vernon accompanied by two amazing voices. just a fantastic version of an outstanding song. Makes me think about hanging out with people you love. Doesn't matter what you're doing, doesn't matter where, as long as you're together.
sitting in a room, with bon iver playing acoustic in front of you in a room filled with people that love his music just as much as you do, sunset in paris, closest thing to heaven in my opinion.
I love the ambience/dissonance in this version, and how it is turned into something so incredibly beautiful! I love how justin uses icarus' fall to symbolze birth. So genius.
Never forget the first time I heard Bon iver. It was this song, I was on acid in the woods and listened to all of for Emma, forever ago. Life changing.
I love how dynamic Bon Iver are. Put them in any kind of environment and they'll use whatever they have at their disposal add cool little ambient effects which make every live performance unique.
I am my mother's only one It's enough I wear my garment so it shows Now you know Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon I am my mother on the wall, with us all I move in water, shore to shore; Nothing's more Only love is all maroon Lapping lakes like leary loons Leaving rope burns Reddish rouge Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon
They close their eyes because their brains are rerouting processing power from the visual to the auditory cortex. They really are pouring out everything they've got in these take away shows.
No one has commented on the intimate cinematography. C'est bon! I saw them perform this live at a small venue, but your photography gives a new meaning to it. Thank you!
this song feels like rain. it feels like sheer loneliness. pure emptiness. this song feels like nothing. this song is what it was meant to be. fucking rip your heart out sad.
My mother died about a year ago and I'm her only child. We weren't very close and I know it sounds ridiculous but this song helped me get a lot of it out back then. It is the most beautiful song, Justin sure has something...
hahaha one part of me completely agrees with you. but man... J Vern's music, to me at least, expresses an absolute transcendent love, forgiveness, and comfort for all people. Including that girl.
Sometimes when I'm feelin' a wee bit lonely, I just count stars that remind me of Iver eyes & then I always realize that I'd be countin' many a year (not enough fingers to help my simple mind keep track). So keep on trekkin', I do, right down into the hollowtree where I can hear "Flume" in peace & dream of my home of shamrock & stone, where waters never cease & the green of the hills outsmart the (now greying) green I once had in a mind fresh with youth; where naught but love is all maroon.

For Emma FOREVER
yes, yes, yes. I'm right there with you my friend
AGREE
@walt chambelain AMEN. I saw him play live in LA a month ago. It was my 3rd time seeing him; his music is incredible, but I'm still in love with the For Emma album. Its so powerful, and the memories you make with an album like that can't really be replicated.
Agreed
What's your opinion on his latest album sire?
3:26 - 4:00 if i started a band with my mates
Pretty much, lmao
Ibrahim Kamit Very good 😂
LMFAO I didn't get it at first, 'cause I was only still at the beginning of the video, but man...I laughed really hard.
Just come back to watch and listen to this epic tune.....but equally epic is the "if I started a band..... comment....thanks again for making me smile.
best comment ever!
I love the jamming session where they just hit things for half a minute!
so true, but well, it is part of the song haaha
I just want to capture it.
Store it in a glass box.
And never let it go.
I can't stop falling in love with it.
This is what music is all about.
Every single time I listen to this song, it's like my first time hearing it all over again.
Man, the early days of La Blogotheque. What a simpler time it was.
This comment cut to the core of my heart
I knew when I saw this vid that this was gonna punch me right in the gut. Simpler times indeed. Hadn’t watched this in years.
Omg. It's never gonna be the same 🥺
What, did something change? I haven't been around.
What makes it more complicated
The harmonies are so incredible... This is the greatest find on youtube ever...
Holly molly, the director of this video is awesome.
Is not till the end, when he uncovers that their playing inside a little kids room, as grown up little boys..
Completely brining the song in full circle.
Great freaking job.

Some pretty big hints before the end. Tough not to see it
I come back here to watch this video ALL the time. this song never fails to hit me right in the feels
for me it's, For Emma, Forever Ago!
Me too
@@israelcastelan4012 for me is all of bon iver
4:16 to 4:21 is the best thing I've ever heard in my life
groovintothebeatjr i
right?
Can't get over how good this is.
***** a brilliant man and a band, his falsetto is maybe the most perfect sound our brains ever heard because it just fills up all the cracks that made our thoughts break and this version where the quality is great is just the perfect thing... same here, cannot get over how good it is
+luka jukic i doubt it
+luka jukic He has a really heavy falsetto and he can put a lot of emotion into it, but I don't know if it's the best EVER
Chase Merritt
not the best ever in terms of quality, that's for sure - but the emotion he puts in his voice, the music surrounding the voice completes it in perfection, for me at least. it's a subjective theme. I made that comment in a time when emotions came through hard and I've always loved Justin/Bon Iver :)

I can actually feel my heart in my chest.
sitting in a room, with bon iver playing acoustic in front of you in a room filled with people that love his music just as much as you do, sunset in paris, closest thing to heaven in my opinion.
You can always return to this beautiful song and enjoy it like it's your first.
Every time I listen to him I fell in live with his music, again and again
This whole show will forever be incredible.
I am convinced that Justin is king midas. everything he does is absolutely breathtakingly golden.
I love the ambience/dissonance in this version, and how it is turned into something so incredibly beautiful! I love how justin uses icarus' fall to symbolze birth. So genius.
This is about Icarus?

I am my mother's only one
It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
I am my mother on the wall, with us all
I move in water, shore to shore;
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leary loons
Leaving rope burns
Reddish rouge
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon

isso me causa tantas sensações, mesmo depois de tempo. uma das minhas favoritas pra sempre.
Thank you for writing such a beautiful song Justin. Reminds me of my mother who just recently passed away.
Bon Iver is such a marvelous band. Their lyricss are so ambiugous and so precise at the same time. Weird.
for emma, forever ago will always have a special place in my heart. thank you for making this album. i couldn’t thank you any more.
No one has commented on the intimate cinematography. C'est bon! I saw them perform this live at a small venue, but your photography gives a new meaning to it. Thank you!
Thanks for inspiring the greatest band ever. Worship.
Still brings me to tears.
A song that genuinely captures what it is to love. Beautiful.
Goosebumps the whole time. So beautiful.
Just so perfect for a rainy day
Finally...Talent! They are a breath of fresh air! Beautiful!
if i ever get the chance to see bon iver, i will cry tears of happiness.
this song feels like rain. it feels like sheer loneliness. pure emptiness. this song feels like nothing. this song is what it was meant to be. fucking rip your heart out sad.
I still come back to this
Epic track...
Me too❤️
My heart cries every time I hear this.
They sound amazing together in this recording. This is beautiful.
this song makes my heart ache, in a good way
I'd like to know why Bon Iver is that good. They are just amazing. AMAZING.
this is a song that knows the password to enter my soul!
This song knows the password to my WiFi!
This song knows the password to my bank account...
feels like freedom.
It's incredible how they start the song again at 4:00. The whole song is incredible.
every time i look at live vids of bon iver (which is often)
i get more amazed and freaked out by how good it is.
Bon Iver is up there for me, next to Marley. Both their music extraordinarily and so meaningfully affects me.
Shut up
wow this rendition is fabulously done
this song is so unbelievably beautiful.
this is so good
Simply phenomenal. And just when you think that a song couldn't get any better, you see that one of the guys is playing a Ukulele. Wow.
My mother died about a year ago and I'm her only child. We weren't very close and I know it sounds ridiculous but this song helped me get a lot of it out back then. It is the most beautiful song, Justin sure has something...
Absolutely beautiful. I can't believe this exists.
this is art, what remains is good in humanity.
so moving. simply breathtaking
I forgot its been twelve years. Oh how the time flies.
Who cant go back to the original now that they have heard this masterpiece
Me
hahaha one part of me completely agrees with you. but man... J Vern's music, to me at least, expresses an absolute transcendent love, forgiveness, and comfort for all people. Including that girl.
absolute brilliance Bon Iver youve done it again
Thanks for showing up on my front page again 🧡

That video was absolutely beautiful, and the song is unreal
i wanna or "need" to have a Bon Iver Show in my Bedroom every single day of my life. And i can dying quietly with the smile :)
One word: Beautiful
4:16 - 4:20 . all worth it.
This is adorable. lalalalalooove.
I wished everyone could see my brother sing this and play it all on his own .... I was wowed!
make a video
Sometimes when I'm feelin' a wee bit lonely, I just count stars that remind me of Iver eyes & then I always realize that I'd be countin' many a year (not enough fingers to help my simple mind keep track). So keep on trekkin', I do, right down into the hollowtree where I can hear "Flume" in peace & dream of my home of shamrock & stone, where waters never cease & the green of the hills outsmart the (now greying) green I once had in a mind fresh with youth; where naught but love is all maroon.
