When I was in university, I worked for a company that catered live events around London. Basically, I stood at the back of the standing section selling pints at extortionate prices, but... you'll never guess who was playing on my first shift. According to my boss it was "some band called bon ivor or something like that". Safe to say, I didn't sell much beer and spent the entire time with my jaw on the floor. Top 10 life experiences.
The ending, plus the he looking at you. Seeing an artist looking directly at you while singing hits somehow, Specially someone whos as goated as bon iver or Ben howard or conor oberst from bright eyes. Like that must be Special, it felt weird watching it and bros just looking at you. Truly goated, made the song even better for no reason at all
the thing i love about seeing bon iver live is how the audience respects the quiet moments. we all just absorb the incredible talent of this band and it makes the performances so much more emotional when he pauses and you are surrounded by thousands of silent people.
Maybe it’s just me, but once I heard this song it never left me. Lyrically, there’s nothing quite like it. The imagery is so vague and interpretive, props to Vernon for penning and performing such a beautiful piece.
In college I listened to this song over 2,000 times. This isn't a brag. I don't know what it is. I just know it helped me get over some difficult stuff at the time. I guess I had a lot to get over.

I shamelessly sobbed the whole way through this, waited years to see this song live
I’ll be doing the same next week, can’t wait 😂
@@slowcherub Have the best time! It’ll change your life :)
@@alexconcerts thank you!! Looking forward to it 👌🏽
no shame here only tears
I never envied anyone so much n my entire life--
“Your love will be… safe… with me.” Best version of that line, and I’ve heard every live version available
Chicago 2019 Allstate Arena better. I’m just joking it’s completely subjective and always beautiful.
I like Olympia's better
Best line of all time
that's why ive got it tattooed :) for my boys in heaven
My favorite Bon Iver song.
I love this song, would loved to have been there in person. Hed been going home with me that night.
The Passion this man has is crazy.
I have listened to every version of this song that exists on TH-cam.

feels very other worldly yet relatable in the same way, kind of like a fairy tale.
I was there!!! Lots of it

Damn.

Icon ❤❤
@5:55 he looks right at the camera
AI might be coming, but it will never replace something like this. Pure, genuine pathos.
Screw AI. It's demonic.
THIS GUY THO
I would have blacked out
The Staves are missing
