Bon Iver - Holocene (Instrumental)

Holocene by Bon Iver with lead and background vocals cut out.

Golly!! This instrumental is the song of all our weddings! Got engaged December 3rd and we went to see Bon Iver that night. When I say best show I've ever been to, it truly was! Anyways, now I'm in planning mode and seeing everyone else say this is what they walked down to - it's actually pretty amazing. I'm hoping to walk down the aisle to it in October if I can get a copy!

[JamieCleaton]

This is beyond beautiful. Gave me chills.

Here is me ranting about the song. I wrote it to my friends but I feel like I needed to post it here. For anyone who feels down.

One thing this song reminds me of is Minecraft, it makes me wanna live there, its so calming and peaceful. I wanna have a small little farm, with sheep and cows, and a small house with a chimney, and a kitten sleeping In front of it, it makes me wanna watch the sunset as if its the last thing I will ever see. It makes me wanna hug you guys, my family, and everyone i know and love. It makes me feel like I'm missing out on so much in this expansive world. You know when people say "Live your life to its fullest"? I feel like I haven't done that, I feel like I just sit in a corner alone and continue an old pattern in life that I have been doing everyday. I want to go explore, I want to go into nature and look at all the wonderful things. It makes me feel like I still have so much to do that I still haven't done, It make same feel guilty for no reason, it makes me feel like I'm the worst person on the planet, but I'm changing, every time the song restarts I feel like I got just the smallest bit better. It makes me feel like I'm starting to be grateful for the things I have, like you guys. I wanna meet you all, I wanna just hug you guys and be able to talk in person to you, I love you guys so much even though I barely even know you. Its just a thing you know. And it makes me think about the end of life, about the time when we remember all the things we did, and all the people we ever shared a small bond with. But the really sad thing is, as a Minecraft player, I read a comment once, that said, "One day you will place you last block, and you wont even know it" and it just makes me feel so sad, but so happy that I have ever experienced what I have. I just started crying oh god. All I'm trying to say is that I love you guys so much, I don't know how much more I can write from this song, but its literally just pouring out. I love you, I love what I consider a friendship.

Lyrics to the song:

Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
Third and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Huddled far from the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

Razbuten brought me here. I'm thankful it helped me find this gem. Thank you.

[dobazajr]

It's nice to listen to this song while there is a cold spell. Just a lamp, a vanilla scented candle and a cup of tea. Just listen and meditate.

[PatriciaGomes-nyoh]

This is way too excellent! Thank you very much :))

[wackousersden]

I'm a man but this song makes me walk down the aisle for no reason

[melbyaaliyah]

"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles
3rd and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me Lip Parade
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory
And at once, I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
But I could see for miles, miles, miles

[ababagalamaga]

"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me."
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend,
It's on it's head,
It struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet

... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me

... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

Christmas night,
It clutched the light,
The hallow bright
Above my brother,
I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make
It what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory:

... and at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)

This is amazing! I'm a cinema student and currently working on a short film.. Is it possible for me to use this melody in one of my scenes? (for copyrights and everything)

[nailah]

Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me 'Lip Parade'
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it my memory
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
(Shake it, fake it, stick with us)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

[justinnelson]

Can you please do an instrumental with Towers by Bon Iver? That would be a great one.

You're laying waste to halloween
You fucked it friend, it's on it's head, it struck the street
You're in milwaukee, off your feet

And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

3Rd and lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me ʻlip paradeʼ
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me

And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory:

And at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
