    I am 14 years old in 7 days. My step father introduced this video to me when I was in 1st grade."he was still my mom's boyfriend at the time"
    A few years later they got married and he became my legal stepfather.
    Every year maybe once or twice, we will be in the car and this song gets brought up.
    We put the song on full volume and we sing along with it.
    .Last Christmas I got a guitar and thos was the first song I ever WANTED to learn. I plan to one day be able to play it with him. It truly makes me happy when I hear this song. And it really changed my life.
    And I will never forget the day my dad showed me it.

    I recently moved from Florida to Colorado. It’s a big strange shift during this very turbulent year. I’ve been a Bon iver fan for a long time but I somehow have never found this video. I’m so glad I did, because now when I look out at the mountains and I hear this, I feel home. For the first time in a long time.
    Wow everyone! Thanks for all the likes, comment and the like from the creator. I have revisited this comment often at different times of my life over the last couple years and debated giving different updates. Since commenting I’ve restarted college, moved to Florida, moved back to Colorado and am turning 24 today, living with my girlfriend and dog about to finish school. It’s wonderful. Thank you for all the love and if you are watching this in a bad place it will get better! ❤️

      Dale Maycock dogs make any video perfect. Have you seen The Growlers Take Away Show? They had Jones (their dog) in it, and it was so very adorable.

    What a fascinating development; from candid performances like this in Paris 16 years ago, to Justin sharing his turmoiled thoughts and emotions on S P E Y S I D E. This man single handedly makes me proud to call Wisconsin home, but I also just appreciate so much what he's contributed to the world.

    This video is so beautiful, the music, their voices, the energy...I always cry every time when I see it, i'm crying right now.
    The first time I listened this song was 7 months ago, November, in Asturias. It was a rainy day and I was with my girlfriend and our dog inside of our house. She was studying and I was with the headphones listening this incredible song. I remember perfectly every detail of that moment, as if it were happening right now, so I'm going to write as if I were living it right now.
    I only do one thing, observe Elena's beauty. The beauty of the moment. The beauty of life. I feel peace, gratitude and love. And I also feel melancholy, because I know that this moment will not last forever.
    I only want to stop fucking time. Just her and me, and our dog, in the middle of the mountain. The rain, the fireplace, the music...
    Since that moment, I have that memory in my head almost every day. I listen this beautiful song and I teleport to that moment. And I feel her beauty. I feel alive and at peace.
    A part of me will always live in that moment.
    Thank you for making me feel alive. Thanks for the music. Thanks for the love.

    One of the best music videos ever made.

    Emma, as i guess, is a state of mind. Once you're in it, it will never let you go. You'll have to learn to deal with it and get to know the beautiful sides of melancholy so one day, you'll learn to enjoy it and spread your love again in a more empathatic and sensitive way than ever before.

    I've just rewatched this video after not having seen it in about 8 years and I teared up a lil at my desk. Every little bit of this video: the echoes of the wall, the part where everyone turns when they start singing, the camera capturing the crowd crammed at the door, the part where Justin couldn't open the door, the guy bopping up and down the hill, 'were they American?'. So much beauty in 8 minutes.
