the sound on this EP is perfect Bon Iver to me. more complex and layered than the stripped down folk on For Emma, but less orchestral and more intimate than the subsequent albums. I know it's unlikely Justin will go back to this sound, but I want a whole album like this EP - quiet, stark, ghostly and melancholic.
you’ll never realize how much something means to you till you lose it, and then you sit there all alone reminiscing in your bed at 3 in the morning when all the memories come pouring back to you and you sit there in sorrow and paim
I heard this song in a bar in Charleston, SC like 8 years ago not knowing what it was or who it was by. I was mesmerized and couldn't stop thinking about the song. For 8 years, I had the melody stuck in my head, but could only remember the lyric "the snow started falling" Today, I finally heard the song again, on the show 'Chuck' of all places. I thought I'd never hear it ever again in my life. I cant describe the feeling I'm having right now with words.
I love when stuff like this happens. Pure happiness when you find a song after so much time searching and the full song is just as good as you’d hoped ✨
this reminds me of the time i tried cheesecake when i was like 7 and absolutely adored it, but i didn't know what cheesecake was or how to describe it and i spent years and years thinking about that cake until i turned like 9 and finally ate the cake again by chance and the feeling: pure bliss, man. i asked people what it was this time and they said cheesecake and since then, man, i've loved cheesecake.
Crazy to think. I fell in love when this ep came out and listened to it with her for a while. We stayed together for 5 years after and this song is intrinsically connected to that part of my heart. Shes getting married to someone else now;but it's crazy how this song brings me right back to our apartment. All the memories we made, laughs and love, rough times before the end, and adventures good and bad.. 10 years. And with this song it feels like yesterday or today. Wild
My favorite song ever. I discovered it while I was staying in Washington. I fell in love with it, and now every time I hear Blood Bank, I will always think of driving the 101 and seeing the ocean for the first time.
I just messaged my ex to tell her I still think of her when I hear this song even though it’s been almost a decade and how weird the human mind is. I got the first apology from her I’ve ever gotten. It was a beautiful moment. I’m at peace.
In the 2 years of dating and 14 years of marriage, my ex wife never one time apologized for anything. Not the cheating or anything else. So when I read what you put here it hit me right in the heart. I'm happy for you. May we all find peace one day.
This song just embodies winter to me. And I love how it makes me feel there might be a better life out there waiting for me, full of joy and love and Christmas morning creaks and warmth in the coldest of times
@@WoodyBantergood question :) nothing does it as well as this song but: slow show by the national, hideaway by karen o, beach baby by bon iver, sunsetz by cigarettes after sex and postcards from Italy by Beirut
I don't wanna lose this person because of simple moments that we shared together..when we went to the park, when we shared an ice cream, when we walked down the city.... everytime i think it won't work, simple moments like those make me wanna hold in it n stay
Same bro, it’s the little moments that make me want her back. Life moves on I guess. Gotta focus on my goals in life and not fall into a slump I can’t get out of. She told me she loved me talked about our future, going to Amsterdam together, what our kids names would be, our lives together when we’re older and 3 days later ‘your not my person’ ‘i don’t want to see you anymore’
It's tradition to que this up on the Jukebox in every bar I go to. It's the look on a random person's face when they hear this song that makes my soul melt.
My mother played Bon Iver to put me and my sister to sleep when we were younger. Just heard this song again and instantly was transported back to those moments. This is my moms favorite song of his and I think of her everytime I listen to it. Much love to bon iver and the peace his music continues to bring me as I grow older ♡
I’m sure as hell gonna play bon iver when the world is ending❤️ don’t bother saving me folks, you’ll find me dancing and crying and remembering the good times while the world’s falling apart.
My dad worked in another estate for years and everytime I listen to this song, I remember being on a bus with my mother going to vist him, it's been 11 years, he is now retired and living with us again (for 7 years now) but he is sick and I miss back then when he was strong and capable of doing things by himself... Love this song! Thanks "CHUCK"
This song makes me think of November. I can smell the leaves and the crisp autumn wind in an unfamiliar place. It makes me feel at home in my own head.
Am I the only one who is absolutely wreaked by “Christmas morning creaks”? It takes me back to the home I grew up in, moved out when I was four. His later lyrics, “hall light wishes” seem to always combine with this to create an absolute storm of nostalgia.
Bon iver has such a nostalgic romantic sound that you want on a jukebox when u first look over and realize you just met your soul mate and this is the perfect background music to a struggling girl who just realized she was in the best place in the world bon iver never seems to fail he is timeless and soundtrack to timeless romance
The staff on the Showtime series 'Let The Right One In' were really brilliant when finding and using this song on Ep 3... it's how I discovered it. Makes one realize how great some in the industry are. The show is overwhelmingly exceptional.
Me and a buddy used to ride in the woods and start a fire with a lighter. We used whatever we could find. The stars were bright, it was quite, we had beer and we would play this song. This was years ago! We were escaping. We have families now. This hits me
I heard this song for the first time yesterday. I was staffing a men's initiation retreat and as we were all cleaning up and getting ready to send those 23 men back out into the world, this song started playing on someone's bluetooth speaker and I was instantly captivated. I struggle to find music to touch my soul but I think the truth is that this kind of music finds you at the moment you need it. This song helped me cry with joy and hope for this world.
It does, my friend passed away yesterday and suddenly all the good memories comin up and the things hurt me a lot is I don't know if he suffer in pain his sickness he didn't even tell, rest in peace my dearest friend Nicholas Praditya
This song is like a breakup I haven’t had yet. I’ve been listening to it for years. Except I’m going through a breakup after 11 years and I’m listening to it again. If others can survive this than surely I can do the same.
I listened to Bon Iver because of him. Thank you so much M. I didn't regret it. You're a life saver. I hope ur always okay. even tho u don't know me that much, i adore you.
Trust in the feelings and meaning it gives to you. Sometimes artists create in a cathartic manner and do not even know what the song means to themselves.
pretty sure this was one of those songs that is all about perception, he has a story of course that he sees but he wrote it so it pertained to most people and whatever story they may have
Remember listening to this then shortly later our first born came along.. now just a couple days ago # 5 just joined us… tears of joy.. fits the moment
The way this song infiltrates in me every time I listen to it is truly indescribable! Should we open here a section where we share songs with the same effect?
Well, I met you at the blood bank We were looking at the bags Wondering if any of the colors Matched any of the names we knew on the tags You said "see lookit, that's yours Stacked on top with your brother's See how they resemble one another Even in their plastic little covers" And I said I know it well That secret that you knew But don't know how to tell It fucks with your honor And it teases your head But you know that it's good, girl 'Cause its running you with red Then the snow started falling We were stuck out in your car You were rubbing both of my hands Chewing on a candy bar You said "ain't this just like the present To be showing up like this" As a moon waned to crescent We started to kiss And I said I know it well That secret that we know That we don't know how to tell I'm in love with your honor I'm in love with your cheeks What's that noise up the stairs babe? Is that Christmas morning creaks? And I said I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well
Who doesn’t know the lyrics though.. that’s the true question. Thank you anyways though for taking the time out of your life to comment all the Lyrics.
@@Filmwithpurpose I'm non-native English speaker who always appreciates when someone does this. Especially for Vernon's lyrics, because he often makes up new words.
As I was listening to this a day ago, I called the girl I used to love. I was hoping she would bash me for calling her again after 6 years, but she sounded very collected and agreed to meet me over the weekend. I am afraid I will mess up again. I still love her.
I'm talking to this girl right now and she's such a little glimpse of serenity and sensitivity in the otherwise mechanical world of mine. I don't know how to deal with the feelings I have for her and she is half way across the world. But she makes me want to understand myself. I am thinking of taking a flight to see her, cause life is too short not to. I don't know where this will end up but I know that I want to see what she is like. I want to give it a shot.
Just drinking wine with my boyfriend Ale, it’s cold outside! Our memories would be always together by this song! Thanks Bon to make connections from your music through us!
Jfc, I cant believe its been 10 years. I heard this when I was 18, and knew it was going to be a classic. Here I am at 28, and looks like I was right. This song aged extremely well.
I just started to listen to Bon Iver. I really like his music. I hope it helps me find myself. I hate being lost and feeling like shit again. I was doing very well when x was alive and dropping music but now that he’s gone, Shit isnt the same anymore. I went through hell after x death. Relationship and problems at home. I hope this really helps me a lot
Humans in some capacity or another actually all want the same things even though the way we all get those are drastically different. We all want to be loved and know that we arent alone on this spinning ball of firey space dust
Bon Iver makes me want to spend every second with my future love I haven't met, but also makes me want to spend my life in a cabin in the woods alone
Its almost the same for me! Being full of contradictions makes us more human...
Teases your head
yesss!! exactly
so relatable
Yeah, live in the forest alone with soulmate and listening to indie music everyday.
nothing hurts my heart more than music by bon iver
julia rob hurts Then you should listen to Sufjan Stevens. Will rip your heart apart. Look up 4th of July by him.
Ever tried eating only fast food, doing nothing and smoking vigorously 3+ packs of cigarettes a day? That will literally stop your heart.
IRISHTOMMY ahhh, cry again

Nicky Lindley Me as well, I love i,i and 22, a million but this is my favourite Bon iver
I know exactly how you feel
You created the most perfect analysis for this song; nothing else is acceptable now
Try Justin Vernon’s old solo albums! Hazletons is amazing, especially the track For A Lover of Long Ago :))
@@SingYourHeartOut783 Agreed. Also the albums under the names Mount Vernon and DeYarmond Edison.

P.s I am so happy for you!
I could cry just reading this story. I'm so happy you found it.
this reminds me of the time i tried cheesecake when i was like 7 and absolutely adored it, but i didn't know what cheesecake was or how to describe it and i spent years and years thinking about that cake until i turned like 9 and finally ate the cake again by chance and the feeling: pure bliss, man. i asked people what it was this time and they said cheesecake and since then, man, i've loved cheesecake.
Charleston !! That’s were I live :)
damn it's been TEN YEARS
Crazy to think. I fell in love when this ep came out and listened to it with her for a while. We stayed together for 5 years after and this song is intrinsically connected to that part of my heart.

Philip Bridges you definitely need to be a writer
Philip bridges I have no idea how u fell like, but I feel like saying I'm sorry

My favorite song ever. I discovered it while I was staying in Washington. I fell in love with it, and now every time I hear Blood Bank, I will always think of driving the 101 and seeing the ocean for the first time.
Nothing puts you alone in a cabin in the woods during a Wisconsin winter than this song.
I just messaged my ex to tell her I still think of her when I hear this song even though it’s been almost a decade and how weird the human mind is. I got the first apology from her I’ve ever gotten. It was a beautiful moment. I’m at peace.

I FEEL U!!!!!
Nothing new there is there lad
i Bee Amazin you make this comment, yet you went with 'easy shots'..?

This song just embodies winter to me.

I wish I had a friend that loves BON Iver just like me
Me too ❤️
Same
Same 😔
Wawawawa Wawaw my best friend actually showed me Bon Iver
My uncle is friends with him
Ten years since I first heard this song, still makes me feel the exact same way...
My mother played Bon Iver to put me and my sister to sleep when we were younger. Just heard this song again and instantly was transported back to those moments. This is my moms favorite song of his and I think of her everytime I listen to it. Much love to bon iver and the peace his music continues to bring me as I grow older ♡

It is scary to admit but may be what's happening.....
He does play when the world is ending .... DON'T LOOK UP movie, awesome!!
Tingles in my cheeks and arms - this song feels like looking out the train window on a rainy, foggy morning
pure poetry. this ep is a go to - such incredible use of colour, it just washes over you. Still get chills from this tune
Thank you Bon Iver. This is healing incarnate.
This was my favorite song for like 5 years. Such a beautiful tune. Thanks so much guys!

The songs of Bon Iver goes right to my spine and makes me want to fall down!
Let the right one in
Me and a buddy used to ride in the woods and start a fire with a lighter. We used whatever we could find. The stars were bright, it was quite, we had beer and we would play this song. This was years ago! We were escaping. We have families now. This hits me
I can always tell a Bon Iver song. I could have never heard a particular song, but as soon as I hear the first notes, I just know.
I wanna hear Bon Iver make more music like this
i love this song. it just gives me such a strong feeling of tenderness and nostalgia and i can't help but feel content whenever i listen to it
This song feels like a snowy night ❤️
This is this one song, I always loved since it came out and will always love! It just makes you feel everything!
Gracias Bon Iver por existir, y por acompañarme en todos estos momentos difíciles.

Reminden me to Michael Scott's impossible love story
rain, this, you and me on the rooftop laying side by side
his voice just makes everything right.
I wish I knew the real meaning of this song
That's what makes me go back to listen to this song over and over again
I just want to crack this code
Trust in the feelings and meaning it gives to you. Sometimes artists create in a cathartic manner and do not even know what the song means to themselves.
the most beautiful pieces of art are those whose meaning solely relies on the viewer’s experience

Figuratively, I met my wife at the “blood bank.” She married me, and we are now 17 years married!!!
My favourite artist of all time. How i wish see this band for once in my life
Not me in my kitchen listening to this and crying while eating tacos at 2am
I’m back once again but no tears this time, and no tacos sadly
Always coming back
This song elicits such a deep feeling, it's indescribable but so full of nostalgia and love. 💜
Well, I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said "see lookit, that's yours
Stacked on top with your brother's
See how they resemble one another
Even in their plastic little covers"
And I said I know it well
That secret that you knew
But don't know how to tell
It fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that it's good, girl
'Cause its running you with red
Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both of my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
You said "ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this"
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
That we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor
I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?
And I said I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well
And I know it well

Saw this being played live and was blown away
Immense nostalgia rn, haven’t heard this tune for years, brings back some shit I ain’t felt in a while

Reminds me of Avett Brothers. Yes, here from Let the Right One In. The movie is excellent too.
Such a great song and EP as well, one of my favorite songs of all time also
This song is much more than music
This song has a moment of silence that gives me the shivers ....
Love it love it love it SO much! One of my all time favorites❤️
someone recommended this song under exile and I Love it, can someone recommend more Bon iver songs
Listen to all For Emma, Forever Ago songs, you're gonna love them.
Jfc, I cant believe its been 10 years. I heard this when I was 18, and knew it was going to be a classic. Here I am at 28, and looks like I was right. This song aged extremely well.
I first cam across it through a twilight fanfiction.Back on those days they used to put a playlist after the chapter.So many great song suggestions!!
Love this song! It's so relaxing.

I hope this really helps me a lot
I just rly wanna cry...10 years!!!! Love this song sooo much ;-;
Humans in some capacity or another actually all want the same things even though the way we all get those are drastically different. We all want to be loved and know that we arent alone on this spinning ball of firey space dust
Eu amoo essa banda e todas as músicas ❤
This song makes me think of my first love and the Washington oceans and forests. Dew covered and in love. I miss him
this song just hits that sweet spot idk how to say it
Hey bon iver thank you for this song
MY SOUL 😭🖤 so so beautiful
this song makes me want to hike on the BC coast on a cool august day with my dog and some weed. god, I love it.
