I want to more without an ad in the middle of it
Can you remove the midroll ad? It interrupts the best bit!
I'd love to see them back on the channel again!
i wish i could hang out with the few people who still come back to these old bon iver videos
Ay! Glad I'm not alone / recently commented. IbRandomly just type in 'Bon Iver live' and zone out listening to them.
where you at? :)

“Emma is not a person; Emma is a place that you get stuck in; Emma is a pain that you cannot erase.” ― Justin Vernon
Daily Dose of WTF "Emma" for me is a woman that I used to love and she caused pain to me
Daily Dose of WTF that just made the song so much better on a whole different level

its the place she put you in.
The place she inhabits in your mind.
Goddamn that makes me sad...
15 years later, still can't enough of For Emma Forever Ago
Hehe, same 😅 I am 30 yo now, when the album came out I was a kid! It all has passed so fast
Goat album

Bon Iver is such a treasure
Same, friend. And how can it have already been that long??

@@justadude510 how good is it 🙌🙌🙌
The first time I saw this clip was on the old Current TV channel on one of their music spotlight shows.
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.
Sounds GREAT ! Learn it ;-) ...an put the Video on TH-cam
I hope this is true, you got all the 35+ aunties in the youtube comments from here to infinity crying
I hope you get to play it in front of him one day.. that's an awesome story!
What a beautiful story! I remember the first time I heard bon iver too, super special moment and the dude that introduced me to my favorite musician has no idea lol
Thanks Cruz, I wish you all the best!
The acapella part gives me chills every time when the camera turns around to all those people standing there watching, too perfect.
Idem 🥰
The plot twist
why are these people fleeing ? i would undress myself and cry
"running home, running home, running home.." 5:41 Pink poncho perfect timing.
should cry then get undressed
@@Keatingeatworld everything makes sense in this
@ Evan Cross - Exactly the comment I was coming to write. Thanks for doing God's work.
Yessss - there is an order of operations
Bon Iver's sound cannot be replicated.
preaaachhhh!
Hell no it can't be but RY X might be close :) lol

Megan I agree
This channel was history. Bring back the old internet.
my girlfriend passed away this year. the part where the strangers keep walking away resonates with me. i feel like i have everything claire needed to stay alive. i feel like im playing the most beautiful song in the world; one that breathes life into her, but she just keeps walking away.
Jesus christ that's sad. Really sorry man.
Time heals everything brother. Stay strong!
Awe dude. Much love and positive energy. I disagree with Alexander though - things can be healed from when you put in the work...
How are you?
Ya how u doing man
A few dozen people walk away from them singing, but here on youtube it has been listened to over 2 million times by thousands of people. Strange how that works.
+John Evans Poor circumstantial timing?
How fear works on human beings you'll mean?;) You could look it up if you're interested. Generally were talking about human instinct behavior on fear there. Humans are in such a transition of change these days though, in many ways.
+John Evans it works like this. you see a lot of people walking away from chocolate stores because that's either not what they want or they were busy. but the facebook page for chocolate has millions of likes.
Must be americans
Cause life likes to play sick jokes on us .
This is so pure - the guy at the start, the failing to open the door, the dog running into shot, the crowd standing in awe. Music at its finest.
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! ❤️
That’s amazing. Thank you for that Ian :)
It’s wild how I still find myself coming back to this video, I feel like it resonates with me more and more the older I get.
“Go find another lover “ hits every time
Man if id seen Bon Iver coming up to me and my friends playing id be like a 13 year old girl at a One Direction concert I'd start screaming and crying all hysterically lol and then pass out lol
Gabriel White hilarious gab...lol
Gabriel White You're fck right!
Gabriel White I'm with you, man haha
Gabriel White you're god damn right
Well said sir
These old blogotheque videos hit so hard. I grew up on these. Actually insane that this was 15 years ago
This and Grizzly Bear… also, Black Cab Sessions 😢
I LOVE Sean Carey's "solo" on this. Only two lines and it sounds so good
I love my boy bon but S.Carey gives him a run for his money I'm only discovering S.'s genius now... a little late but his albums are so damn good.
@@isaacking5071 great combo..S. Carey is a huge part of Bon's success
Still coming back to this video more than 10 years later and still gets tears in my eyes
*8 years later, still binge watching*
SAME
honestly
same heree :)
Cant wait for the new album, so far soo good
same here
didn't know it was possible to be addicted to music then realised i listen to bon iver all day everyday its the only thing that lets me switch off
16 years and I'm still listening. Incredible!
The bit where the tourists run away cracks me up every time. I keep noticing new things. The black chef taking a break. The people outside in the restaurant who are obviously listening to the music- which the camera captures in the last few moments of the song.
"So how was your day?"
"Kinda of normal, then coming home i stumbled upon Bon Iver, he's just downstairs playing with his bandmates."
blechtrommel90 haha his name is Justin Vernon ;) the band is bon iver. Regardless-it’s incredible!
Crazy fever dream
Man these were better times for me.. I was a teen, bewildered by music.. nerdy kid from The Netherlands following Pitchforks and music blogs.. finding all these sounds I had never heard before. Everyday felt like a new adventure.
One of the best Take Away shows, i think..
The intro, the dog, the accapella, the smell of Paris, the filming, the singing, the melodica..and the people running home..
For when I am lost, this song always finds me home. Thanks Bon Iver.
this whole album, especially this song, has helped me to understand what real love is.
i've already met my emma, and she's already gone,
but fortunately she has introduced me this album for the first time,
so it's like if she had gave me the keys, for then lock her door.
for emma, forever ago.
so much love from italy to all the people that are struggling with love.
i know that one day we'll be able to open that door.
and it will be fine. we'll be fine.
Can’t believe this was 12 years ago. Bon Iver was a huge part of my late teens and early twenties. This will never go out of style for me.
I listen to this about once a month when I’m in my feels. Always perfect.
This is one of my favorite videos on the whole internet.
10 hours of "For Emma" but it's just Justin Vernon slowly chasing Parisians around the city.
hahah this is the funniest comment. thankyou.
this video is years old, I keep coming back to watch this incredible talent.
plus I've only just realised that he's wearing the sweater inside out :p
the fact his jumper is inside out is, frankly, adorable
The talent is not recognize that all people when it comes to them. Sorry for the artists iam and persons try to share with us, BLIND.
Who's still coming back for this timeless symphony Late in 2019? and who really really wishes they were there when this was being done?
Im gonna raise my hand to both. Especially the second question.
One of THE BEST MUSIC albums ever to come out in our lifetime.
Aye
Brought back here by swapping music with a new person in my life ❤️
i will forever come back to this video..and if its taken down i will get very depressed lol
So abruptly
Saw death on a sunny snow
For every life
Forgo the parable
Seek the light
My knees are cold
Running home, running home
Running home, running home
Go find another lover
To bring a, to string along
With all your lies
You're still very lovable
I toured the light so many foreign roads
For Emma, forever ago
So apropos*
I haven't watched this in over 10 years and it still hits me emotionally now, just as it did all those years ago. My life is so different and has changed so much, yet it still hits me hard. It brings back crystal clear memories and the same emotions I felt then. Wonderful stuff.
I always thought Bon iver used effects to make their voice sound like this,I didn't realize it was a couple of singers with perfect harmonization. It's amazing, reminds me of Alice in chains with how great they sound together
Man I had forgotten that very last shot with these silhouettos in semi-darkness... They bring out the melancholy so well, not to mention the time that has passed since this was released...
I remember my older brother showing me this song when I was so young and didn’t know the meaning or anything about the song. I’m now 19 about to be 20 and this song means so much to me it hurts a lot .
Keep your head up kid unless you're jamming out. God has a plan for you
Its been a decade for me.. i keep coming back and i still cry
I’m visiting Paris for the first time and I was randomly walking around today… when I was overcome with a profound sense of Deja vu. I realized I had stumbled upon this exact spot where they performed outside (with all the tourists running away haha). It’s funny how memories work. As the crazy fan I am, finding this little gem was the best part of my day.
Over 10 years. I have shown this exact video to SO many people. WOW.
How can people just keep walking with this beautiful music in their ears.
Tears. 15 years later and still tears. Reminds me of that time in my life trying to figure everything out and going through heartbreak and uncertainty. This album got me through so much shit.
Lmao same.
I am currently in that position and coming back to it for this very reason
I was 15 when I first saw this, now I'm 30 and I'm back for more, I guess life brings us to where we need to be.
Once every few months I go back to this video like it's an old friend. Thank you for the warm coffee and good conversation, buddy. You are the best.
when you get the confirmation it does not need much for real music that touches your soul. all this mainstream will erase the soul of music. let's be thankful for these moments.
15 years later and still moves my soul
I've been watching this video for a few years now and it's still amazing.
Same here reminds me of several pivitol moments in my life
Anyone else think the friendly dog just makes this video perfect?
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.
when it jumps on that lady in the black jacket, i lost it
no
yes, very delicious
yes
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.
A happy revisit from 15 years ago. Happy to sing along and feel my age. Happy 31 to me and to these wonderful ppl. 🎉
I love the rawness of these older Take Away Shows.
"Go find another lover, to bring and string along". Chills. Everytime!
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.
lfg
Bon Iver, you are a taste of heaven here on earth
its been years, but i can never get enough of this
This is seriously giving me life.
This. Just this reminds me of what music can do to you. Thank you Bon Iver.
I feel so lucky to have seen Bon Iver in 2012 after 2 brain surgeries, because I had 8 more after that and my concert days are over. I still love to watch this from time to time.
Hope all is well
Why can't I ever be in the right place at the right time like this?!
+Emily P haha! and them people walking away from them :)
+Hery Ratsimihah yes!! The first time I watched this, and still now that I watch it, it makes me mad that the people were walking away. I would stood there in awe! I absolutely love Bon Iver!!
+Chel Belle maybe that's just life; maybe these things happen all the time around us but we just don't see them :D
It is a sign that you were called to be the "Right Place." You were called to bring joy to the broken, peace to the lost, and thought to the benighted.
Wish for it hard enough and it will happen to you. It happened to me.
I'm not kidding now. Hearing this song live would probably cure my depression and those people are just walking away!? WTF????
Nearly 3 years later and this is still one of my favorite things on the internet.
Dude I'd be like crying so hard if I saw them, not running away! My god ;-; I'M SO IN LOVE
Imagine standing in a marpmand bon iver starting plaing softly in the background just to find ou ther a libe acoustic band and its actually bon iver. What an amazing live privilege!!😮
They don't even need instruments. Just perfect.
The voice is an instrument. They've mastered the human instrument.
YagmanX I know you commented this 5 years ago, but I subbed to your channel recently for game dev stuff and thought it was funny to randomly stumble on your comment here while I was rewatching this great vid. Good taste in music 👌🏻 also, it’s always great to see fellow devs share their projects, keep up the good work!
I used to listen this full album on 2017 everyday... One of the all time greats, it is a sensation, a feeling, a relationship you can't get back to, a special time to be alive and exist in time which will forever live on through this beautiful beautiful touching melodies
it's so good to know that Justin feels as passionately about his music as the rest of us do,
he loves what he does and this video shows it
When I heard this first in the early 2009, I liked it, of course.
But I never thought it would become such a classic that I will be searching for many years later.
One of the best music videos ever made.
12 years later, and still the best thing I've ever heard. One of the benefits of being alive. 'Emma is not a person; Emma is a place that you get stuck in; Emma is a pain that you cannot erase.' - Justin Vernon
If i could speak to Justin Vernon, I'd tell him, For Emma Forever Ago, is one of my favorite albums ever. 60s to modern day.
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.
11 years and this remains the best video on the internet
14 years and this remains the best video on the internet
Imagine walking in on this performance on your way home. Never to be experienced again.
11 years and it still hurts...to see the people getting away from them. Even if they don't knew him the music speak for themselfs. thanks Blogothéque for this youtube Gem .
favorite video on the internet hands down
Imagine if this was how you heard this song for the first time in your life. Just grabbing a coffee by yourself on a dreary morning in Paris. life changing moment
This song and this version came out at such a pivotal moment in my life. It takes me back to my youth, of discovering oneself, and wondering what the future would bring. Ah, thanks TH-cam for reconnecting me, us!
Why is this so poetically beautiful?
After this being my favorite song for over three years, just now discovering this video, it has genuinely brought me to tears. I find everything about this song, his voice, the melody, the meaning, so emotionally beautiful. Thank you Bon Iver.
Never fails to bring me happy tears.
I am no longer able to count how many times I watch this video. Too good.
and it is that arcing melody that turns the key in my head that lets the tears come forth
More than 10 years have passed since I found this...and Bon Iver is still active...that's so amazing.
Been having a hard time lately and this is always like a warm hug that lets me know that things were once awesome and it will be again.
What happened????
Life happens. And it’s okay. It just nice to have reminders of the happy times.
I've been watching this video for years and just worked out that Justin is wearing his sweater inside out. Now I can't unsee it.
the dog was enjoying this more than anyone
January 2024, going back to 2012 when I fall in love with this girl, just listening to this. Still love her deeply ❤
My favorite part is the fact that Justin's sweater is inside out the whole time. One of my favorite videos ever
A tear falls each time and everytime I think of the times I have failed to articulate just how ducking beautiful you are to me. How this rendition makes me think of the cold winters in you’re room and the blistering summers in our field. We’re we fell in love and we’re I began to believe again.
The guy being interviewed at the beginning was the frenchest most French frenchman In the history of France.
Anyone who disliked this doesn't appreciate the rawness of these talented folk.....
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.
It is 2019 and I keep coming here to hear the amazing performance of Bon Iver... I still can't understand why this people did not appreciate art being made
Every time that pink lady runs it home when they sing run it home, too good, this video got me thru so much in highschool
i found myself walking up a very steep hill after a day of very steep hills. and there i was walking up the same steps there in motemarte. Those trees are still there, that vibe is still there, that place is alive. 14 years and still going
At 5:38 they actually made a woman run home!!! These guys are AMAZING!
What was wrong with her?!! And why were all the others walking away?!
Owen Philipson I think I read somewhere on here that that's just how it is in Paris. So many "starved musicians" walking up to you hoping to get some cash, so you learn to walk away from performers.
@Yamsmos I see you at almost every Bon Iver Video. I like that.
dablock Hey man, love the band and all they do.
Yamsmos so do I :)
This was a vibe, and an era
everything about this video.
The dog, the girl eating her food.
the lovely old man and incredible acoustics.
gives me a good feeling that spring is on it's way.
