After my wedding, my wife and I chose to have everyone leave the venue while we stayed and danced alone to this song as a newly married couple in an empty venue. We both had tears running down our faces.. probably the best moment of my entire life

[torystoddard]

My best friend just died from an OD, when that line hits "I'm standing in the street now, and I carry his guitar" makes me weep. I kept his black telecaster for him up until his death. He was afraid he would pawn it. It's his family's now. All I have are our memories and this song. I love you nick, rest in power brother.

I think this is one of the best songs I have ever heard in my entire life legitimately

[levileyba]

This song is akin to the psalms of King David. I’m not religious but I’ve felt this for six years. This song portrays a longing to know God on this earth below heaven. The entire album bears Justin’s history of spiritual pondering. It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah.

Been playing this in my coffee shop ever since it dropped. The people love it.

Yesterday I was at me osteopathic and this song just played when he was out of the room. Just me, God and this music. I genuinely cried all my soul. I’m not even have a boyfriend or in a heartbreak situation. This song is absolutely beautiful from itself. A gift from heaven

Bon Iver's music is like a cure for the broken souls

[christopherbaker]

This album is somber and kind of warm, yet also raw and cold. It's like waking up from a good nights sleep on top of a mountain, to an early sunrise hitting your face. And as you get up out of your warm sleeping bag, the cold air hits you. Chilling, yet welcoming, you don't cringe or shiver because the warmth you still have within the sleeping bag is keeping you warm inside. You just feel. Alive. And know everything is gonna end up alright

I have a strong hunch Justin sung at a church in the past, or studied modern evangelical church music. This reminds me of the worship songs I used to hear at church. Almost all worship songs have "simple" vocal lines that are meant to feel epic and meaningful. This gives me the same feeling, along with carefully thought out instrumentation. It's quite the spectacle honestly. Bon iver is something else, man. I love these guys.

I think this is the closest Vernon's ever got to converting his literal soul to audio.

[anishapillai]

Each Bon iver songs reminds me of something different.

This one is for you, A. You're never going to see it, but the truth this song reminds me of you and what we could have been. I am falling in love with you. I don't know what to do about it. I know you told me it'll pass. My heart grows in circles. God, i love you.

I just found this song today and I came straight to youtube to find like minded people who appriciated such music. I seem to the only one I know. So coming to youtube Is like a listening session with close friends that know the depth of my soul. You are all wonderful menifestations of God.

Have you noticed the closer we are to the end of the album, the music and the videos become less hectic and more calm, like by the end he has come to term with himself and his situation and is more peaceful because of it, this whole album was a story of his struggles and how he came back stronger than ever.

The live version of this is otherworldly

[anthonyviloria]

My favorite track off the album! Love the album front to back. A close second is Million. 👌👌👌

[brycezachary]

A poet, a philosopher, a pure musical genius. His ability to capture such beauty is unmatched.

[lhagvae]

Listening from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Sometimes you need to stop and have some Bon Iver in your life.

[dman]

God’s honest truth, this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard. The emotion captured here is absolutely sublime - it overwhelms me with so many different feelings all at once. I’ve been listening to Bon Iver since his debut album, and his artistry and genius never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for creating this masterpiece.

Am I the only who wants to tattoo all those drawings?

PD: Bon Iver is gold. This album is... I don't have words to explain it.
