My dad passed away last March after a long battle with cancer. I have found refuge in various places and one of them is music, this song feels like a hug in sound form. Thank you Justin, thank you for sharing your art with the world.
Oh. OH. Oh. On the bus from Boston to ny right now listening to this and watching this with blurs or red orange green streaking by the windows and life. Is. Oh. 🤲🏼
I see a lot of people putting these songs into the "For Emma"-Era, but this one puts me right back into 22, A Million. It has the texture of especially the last 3 songs on that album and it almost feel like a missing piece from that time.
yes!! I'm getting 00000 million and 8 (circle) vibes for sure. But its more straightforward, direct and raw than 22AM (which I absolutely love for its layers and obscurity, but this is refreshing).
I cannot begin to explain the impact this project has had (and continues to have) on my life. Thank you, Justin, from the bottom of my heart. From For Emma, Forever Ago to now. "Let it wash away, with you I will remain"
That beat drop. That saxo there exactly. And the scene. My world stop for a moment, and i feel collapsing... But it feel so sacred, and ruminating. Its so beautiful, i can't no longer express. I love you i love you so much....
"oh just take my hand, and place it on your blame and let it wash away with you i will remain" don't know why these words hit me on a deeper level right now. 3:17am on a saturday in november 2024. just a guy who is yearning to feel some sort of feeling. thank you bon iver for making such beautiful music that resonates with any and each emotion and experience.
I was riding on a bus, through the hungarian country side, listening to music with my favourite headphones on. Then I realised that Sable, has been released already. After a relisten of the Pixies' "Doolittle" I put this on and loved every minute of it. Then this song came in as I wa riding past a wide sunflower field laying underneath dark green hills that stood in the silhouette of an early sunset. I was overwhelmed with love and melancholy, I've been struggling with these emotions ever since I moved to the capital, Budapest. I've been feeling like I've lost myself throughout these years. But I felt the presence of long lost emotions as memories while staring out the window, my eyes got a bit teary. I've been overwhelmed with who I am-was-will be, but now I had my Essence break through these masks, fears and projections. I felt exactly who I was and I didn't wanna be anything else, when those saxophones came in I lost it, it was as pure as falling in love on the first date, as heartfelt as hugging someone in need of love, as free as their tears on my shoulder And as warm as hugging them again. I felt like I understood everything that needed to be understood about myself. Then the lyrics came back back and I just closed my eyes, I became one with whatever was gonna come next, I felt acceptance and comfort through Justin's poetry. Then the music ended and I felt as if something great in me has just started. I've been meditating on things really deeply lately and this whole experience was a solid push down the road of being content with what you're dealt. The instrumentation all throughout this EP is really subtle, all except for the cathartic saxophone explosion part. I love how this thing sounds, I love the visual side of these songs too, it's really put together aesthetically and is a great direction for them to take, I really dig this mixing too, sounds immaculate. So this lil EP accompanied my emotions and mental struggle quite neatly, I've always loved Justin's voice and lyrics, the constantly developing Bon Iver discography. For Emma... and 22 a million are both some of my favourite albums ever. Their music can do things to my soul ön a level that elevates listening to music onto another level, spiritally. I cannot wait for a new album, but thank y'all for the music 🫶 And anybody who reads this, ease up on yourself, try to connect first and feel the love you can provide. I hope you have a great life! 🫶 Peace Ádám
It was the same for me, but riding on the train through the german countryside. Looking out of the window into forests colored by the fall as the saxophone solo started really felt like this was how I was supposed to listen to this song for the first time.
@@paula5831 Yes exactly, it sounds and feels so open and wide, perfectly matching nature in autumn. I just kinda wish they released more, I'm a fiend for their music tho so yeah 😅 Truly incredible stuff, glad you had this experience, it's totally worth it. Have a good one ✌️
This song is special to me already! When I listen to it I just close my eyes and drift away with memories of my childhood just going through my head. My grandma passed in 2017 and this song just makes me smile while thinking about her...thank you JV and Bon iver for making this masterpiece ❤️
And you know what will stay? Everything we’ve made When I was in the thick of a breakup, feeling like I'd wasted years of my life or like moving on would somehow void everything we had, this was the revelation that helped me move on: knowing that all the good times we had weren't going to vanish. We still had times of love, and all of that will stay. All the times, moments, joy, and good we made. It's all still there.
Don’t know how he does it, but Justin Vernon can write the simplest music and it just blows me away … the chorus kicking in at 1:00 is absolute magic 👏👏
Bon Iver's music is so unique. A big warm hug, a cup of hot chocolate, a moment of peace and reflexion, dream of the past and the future. Thanks a lot. Please, never stop doing music
Thank you Justin, thank you Bon Iver. This song is really helping me go through a very tough time. It's like a medicine, keeping me going. God bless you guys thank you for your art the impact you have on people is bottomless you will never know the extent to which your music helps others feel
Yeah, emotions run heavy with this song and parts like this. God, life seemed easier sometime ago. At least we have this music and a community to keep pushing through together.
3 perfect songs. 3 songs that warm my heart and make me feel feelings. It feels so good to feel again. Like meeting an old friend again that sparks that passion you forgot about. Thank you, Justin. For your heart, your voice, and the effort you put into this ep.
I really looked into Bon Iver for the first time one year ago. Before then, the name was always familiar but the music wasnt. I started with For Emma, Forever Ago. It was at a really transformative time in my life, and that album will always remind me of Autumn and Winter, 2023 and the connections I made. Then I explored later albums like 22, a Million and it was the soundtrack for my life for a few months. I couldn't get enough and I learned that the man behind Bon Iver is named Justin Vernon. And I fell in love with Hazelton, Towers, and projects like Big Red Machine, The Shouting Matches, and Volcano Choir. Vernon has proven to be so versatile, probably a genius, and my favorite artist. Like some ever evolving chimeric musical entity. But this album... it's just pure honesty. Straight from Vernon, back where it all started, gifted to his fans through Bon Iver. I feel lucky to have known his art by the time he was ready to share this.
omg i had the exact same thought. I just think of how this song might spend comfort to my loved ones. „And you know what is great, nothing stays the same.“ Not even the immense pain you feel, when a loved one dies, I hope.
I have listened to this song all day, every time I hear a new line, a new story, it’s so layered and complex What a song, I pray to hear it live one day soon 🙏🏽
idk some of this is cool but it’s just folk. there’s no coldness like for emma has no chaos or confusion like 22 a million and no warmth like i,i or self titled
@@miiinotaurcoldness, confusion, chaos. We’ve been an audience throughout Justin’s career. He’s expressing himself to us in this art. It feels weird to me to think I should have a say in how he does that, no?
this song is telling us, we are making legacy w everything w change and do w our lifetime, and that the new path we've forged thru these changes will forever remain. and therefore, forever made.
His voice is something else out of the usual...simply amazing and unique! We know is Justin voice! Great artist! Thank you, obrigado! And that sax!!!🖤🖤🖤
Among poachers and thieves, we departed with a deep desire to cleanse ourselves in freedom. And so, fleeing without truly running away, we drank the nectar and rejoiced in the love of friends and the saltiness of the sea. All this love around me filled my heart, storing up strength for this journey into the future. This is what this song makes me feel like.
Saxophone on a Bon Iver song is like a gift from god.
I go into a trance followed by a “holy shit” even a decade later
@@LouloulouisemusicLiterally, I feel the exact same as I did listening to 45 for the first time.
@@deltamusic37 my family finally got sick of being introduced to Michicant. Almost 20 years of “have you heard this version?”
So happy Justin and Michael Lewis entered each others lives.
@@deltamusic37me toooo.
I instantly teared up when it started
Bon Iver dropping new music is like getting a hug you didn’t know you needed
knew i did
😂😂😂😅😅😅🎉🎉
REAL
Andnthe chills wave through my body. I can breathe again.
Amen!
Unexpectedly started crying when that saxophone kicked in. Bon Iver just scratches a certain itch. It's like a beautiful melancholy.
I hadn't heard the sax before responding to this here your comment but I knew...
The same thing happened to me!
i was on the bus in public when i first listened to this track and i had to hold back tears
Yeh this one made my Wife cry when i played it her. Just beautiful music
Same
Dedicated fans right here.
Anyone else here all dry eyed and brave?
Keepin it restaurant
!!!
Goosebumps
@@joelrile yes. We here are the same
Boy. It’s like you never knew you were wound up so tight, then you listen to Bon Iver and you exhale so deep that your whole life resets.
"I can handle,
Way more than I can handle.
So I'll keep reaching for the handle,
to flood my heart"
An inspiring human creed.
This is my fav sable song. The sax really brings me back to 22 a million which is my all time favorite but also goes in a new direction which I love
His Charlie xcx remix song is very reminiscent of 22 a million as well with all the different samplings but melodic tune
IMO this is much more like For Emma & his self titled album it’s paired back a bit.
Yes to all this
Exactly my thought. I love that theme.
we should rename autumn to bon iver season
For real
You know Bon Iver is French for "good winter" right?
Good winter autumn!
😂
It's not called autumn anymore.
Let's call it just "vernom".
There is nothing like driving on a crisp fall morning listening to new Bon Iver!!! Goosebumps and tears all morning.
Feels like we're taken back to that "22, a million" theme, the best for me.
22 a milion is god tier album
It's so hard to explain
And the facts are strange
But you know what will stay?
Everything we've made
😭
Beautiful. I feel like he hasn't had direct lyrics like this since the blood bank EP/For Emma
Beautiful.
to coexist with bon iver, frank ocean, and mk.gee is simply blissful
add Hozier to that and you've got me down
❤❤❤!!!
and jean dawson
I can handle
Way more than I can handle
So I keep reaching for the handle
To flood my heart
And the Spaniard
In song that I have pandered to
Is always handing me the anvil
Saying, "That's for you"
But then you came to me
From Olympic heavy duty
We both needed so much soothing
Played you Rickie Lee
Oh, how everything can change
In such a small time frame
You can be remade
You can live again
What was pain now's gain
A new path gets laid
And you know what is great
Nothing stays the same
Felt you through me
In every clue you threw me
Pointing at me asking, "Who, me?"
What a start
And you had taken
All away my aching
Well, how could I ever thank you?
I'd been received
But I'm a sable
And honey, us the fable
You said that you were unable
That it's not reprieved
Oh, but maybe things can change
What can wax can wane
Things can get replayed
And if it's all the same
Oh, just take my hand
And place it on your blame
And let it wash away
With you I will remain
[Instrumental Break]
You came over
Short after it was over
You, as precious as a clover
In a meadow's sun
You had no answers
So we laid back to backs and
Clasped treasure with our hands and
Held all fate
But now it's the season
And I know I will be seein' ya
On the TV for some reason
God, my heart
Why do things gotta change?
We were on our way
To be best to face
All that comes in gray
It's so hard to explain
And the facts are strange
But you know what will stay?
Everything we've made
“You can be remade, you can live again” ❤ I NEEDED to hear this !!!!!!!! I have to believe it now 🥺
🤗 hugs to you friend, you are beautiful, keep reminding yourself ❤️
Now more than ever ❤
@@lauren_WIthank you so much ❤ right back at you 🤗 !!!
YESSS!!! 💙
Listening to Bon Iver is like walking through a forest when the leaves have fully turned and the cold breeze just instantly hits you.
i'm14andthisisdeep
The saxophone part was just what I needed on my drive to work this morning.
My dad passed away last March after a long battle with cancer. I have found refuge in various places and one of them is music, this song feels like a hug in sound form. Thank you Justin, thank you for sharing your art with the world.
Lost my mama to her 20 year long fight with cancer in February... right there with you, and I'm so sorry for us all
Oh. OH. Oh.
On the bus from Boston to ny right now listening to this and watching this with blurs or red orange green streaking by the windows and life. Is. Oh. 🤲🏼
Moments that makes life worth living.
This was me driving to work this morning, the changing leaves were absolutely fucking me up paired with this song. Life is beautiful
I listened to this on the same journey at the same time! 😮
Immediate chills…I get 8(circle) vibes from this one.
I got 22 (Over Soon) vibes .... same key and everything
@@tgcrecords6866 Ooo yeah, that’s definitely a more apt comparison!
the lyrics to this song may already be the most meaningful to me…ever.
That’s how I’m feeling this morning. I agree. I don’t think that’ll change either.
Same
Same 😢
this might be a top 5 bon iver song. maybe even higher.
This might be one of the most beautiful songs I've heard lyrically.
Bro finally back to his cabin. Love to see it !
We’ve all been waiting 4 years for this ❤
It's great but cant feel the emoticons of 22 or ii maybe i will Change my mind
@@ruimaia2995in feeling to me it sounds like For Emma , and I for one am all for it . Hits me in the guts and I love it
Love it when maturity makes simple uncomplicated love
I think the song is about the opposite of that
The sax. A sax solo on a bon iver song always brings me to tears .
45 still hits me when that exhale comes at the end of the riff .
I see a lot of people putting these songs into the "For Emma"-Era, but this one puts me right back into 22, A Million. It has the texture of especially the last 3 songs on that album and it almost feel like a missing piece from that time.
yes!! I'm getting 00000 million and 8 (circle) vibes for sure. But its more straightforward, direct and raw than 22AM (which I absolutely love for its layers and obscurity, but this is refreshing).
Definitely 22, a million vibes
Justin speaking the bittersweet recollection of the beginning, middle, and end of a relationship has me peddling in autumnal nostalgia.
I cannot begin to explain the impact this project has had (and continues to have) on my life. Thank you, Justin, from the bottom of my heart. From For Emma, Forever Ago to now. "Let it wash away, with you I will remain"

And so an old wound opens up to be a reminder of how far I’ve come. Beautiful and haunting song.
Anything new he drops feels so personal and warm.
My fav artist. Not a day goes by when I don't listen to at least one song from this man.
Never made music for accolades. Awards season, the thing that can change people.
It never changed You, Justin. Love you and the band so much.
Just give this man some time alone in his cabin and you know he’s gonna make beautiful music!
In the heat of battle he don't miss, in the heat of controversy he don't miss
This song is special to me already! When I listen to it I just close my eyes and drift away with memories of my childhood just going through my head. My grandma passed in 2017 and this song just makes me smile while thinking about her...thank you JV and Bon iver for making this masterpiece ❤️
That saxophone was spiritual breakthrough
And you know what will stay?

Unbelievably beautiful I am sobbing my God
Waking up to new Bon Iver music? Today is going to be a BEAUTIFUL DAY
That Tom Waits sax is absolutely brilliant.
just when i thought i got over my first heartbreak, after running into him again, this song comes along and rips me open all over again
Got me man-weeping at 1:24pm on a Friday
same here at work today while operating a forklift lmao
"and you know what will stay? everything we made." thats it. thats the line my heart was craving for and i was not aware of it
*Bon Iver just opened his mouth, someone go hand him a Grammy right now*
Don’t know how he does it, but Justin Vernon can write the simplest music and it just blows me away … the chorus kicking in at 1:00 is absolute magic 👏👏
This EP made my year. Thank you so much.
Bon Iver's music is so unique. A big warm hug, a cup of hot chocolate, a moment of peace and reflexion, dream of the past and the future. Thanks a lot. Please, never stop doing music
HIs voice is so amazing. No one else can do his songs justice. He feels every song and makes you feel it as well.
This song speaks to my knew found relationship with God and how important this relationship is 🙏🏽💖
Just in time for leaves to fall and the air to chill, Bon Iver sings us new songs from the cabin on the hill.
I got chills when the saxophone came in..
Thank you Justin, thank you Bon Iver. This song is really helping me go through a very tough time. It's like a medicine, keeping me going. God bless you guys thank you for your art the impact you have on people is bottomless you will never know the extent to which your music helps others feel
Simply incredible. An emotional roller coaster of a song that I just want to ride again and again.
Once in a lifetime artist
"Everything that we've made" This one hurts.
Yeah, emotions run heavy with this song and parts like this. God, life seemed easier sometime ago. At least we have this music and a community to keep pushing through together.
wow...why am I crying?😭
Exactly… mind. blown.
I waited years and kept all my tears for this release! Bon Iver knows how to put me in that mood.
Just beautiful I feel a need to give you a hug Justin
3 perfect songs. 3 songs that warm my heart and make me feel feelings. It feels so good to feel again. Like meeting an old friend again that sparks that passion you forgot about. Thank you, Justin. For your heart, your voice, and the effort you put into this ep.

Bon iver is a gift from god❤
This song tops Speyside for me. Very good EP. Hopefully, it's a taster of what's to come on a new album in the future ❤
im afraid to go to a bon iver's concert cuz i know i'll meet my soul mate there
Do it when you're ready 😉
THE REAL LEGEND AND GOAT OF HEALING MUSIC (in any genre he chooses)
I have listened to this song all day, every time I hear a new line, a new story, it’s so layered and complex
What a song, I pray to hear it live one day soon 🙏🏽
Bless you. Your work is deeply moving. And words will never express my gratitude for you in this world. But I will try and fail with these few here.
Thank you, Bon Iver ❤️
I’m so glad Bon Iver seem to be going back to their more simple roots. This is beautiful!

They did it again... Bon iver only!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
OMG....He did it again!!❤❤❤
Just astonishing....
It's the first thing I heard when I woke up and I'm so happy.
Cried at this gem this morning
i have never read more poetically written lyrics in my life til this song. i never knew how much of an impact this would have on me
This song is fitter for all the movie producers out there who submit their film in the heart of awards season.
lyrics pierced through my soul. thank you JV.
I'm working on it to brother. ❤️🩹
All I really want is more and more Bon Iver
Bon Autumn Period ❤ welcome back for ever 🥰
We all know we needed this...
I checked my listen history, and I've already listened to S P E Y S I D E over 220 times... This EP will definitely be in the top of the year for me
Damn. These lyrics. This may be my favorite Bon Iver song. Much love Justin - thanks for the music.
I have involuntarily burst into tears 3 times in a row when the saxophones hit.
Love Bon Iver. Cannot wait to see them again in Madrid (Spain) ❤❤❤❤
"Oh how can everything can change...in a small time frame" really hit my heart.
this song is telling us, we are making legacy w everything w change and do w our lifetime, and that the new path we've forged thru these changes will forever remain. and therefore, forever made.
His voice is something else out of the usual...simply amazing and unique! We know is Justin voice! Great artist! Thank you, obrigado! And that sax!!!🖤🖤🖤
