Twenty Two ❤️❤️❤️

Unbelievably excited for this tour! I’ve seen Bon Iver live three times, and for my fourth show I sprung for FRONT ROW!! Can’t wait!!!

[@Cloclo1125]

wow hi jesus

[@HeyTiki]

omg I didn't know you listen to Bon Iver 😍 They are Jesus Christ approved

[@thejesuschrist]

@@HeyTiki Ever since Re:Stacks won my heart in 2007, Justin Vernon is most definitely my favorite song writer of all time.

[@EugeneMirrman]

No UK, shit no Europe, dates makes me so incredibly sad.. I would give up all of my other live experiences for one night with this man on the stage..

[@mikevez6639]

Would of put you down as a NINE INCH NAILS kind of guy Jesus but I guess I'm wrong.

[@whoopshey826]

...and all of this from a breakup that made one guy go off to the woods and make an album that meant something. so here's to Emma, forever ago.

[@MarinellaFioretto]

Bon Iver played the soundtrack of the best and worst moments of my life. I will always be immensely grateful for that.

[@Tom-dt9gs]

I'm glad the word Autumn is getting some attention. Autumn sounds way better than fall!

[@mathildeb2710]

I wish every season had an alternative name....

[@siegfriedpintar]

Autumn is a French/Latin word, and is used in England/The U.K. often. Fall on the other hand, is a Germanic word, that is used more often in America. Incase anyone wants to know.

[@mathildeb2710]

[@kanxo1]

👏👏

[@Haelcaun]

Pretty much all of Bon Iver’s music has felt like autumn to me. Like Autumn Incarnate. Anyone else feel that way?

[@PranavKarki]

forever emma, forever ago - winter bon iver, bon iver - spring 22, a million - summer next ... autumn kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZK7pKNmnttrbqM

[@Haelcaun]

Andrew B ya exactly, no matter when I listen I feel like the leaves are falling and I need a hot chocolate haha

[@apullcan]

@@PranavKarki I still have a hard time seeing 22, a million as a summer record, but I suppose Justin knows better than me.

[@anechoicsoul]

Totally

[@ku6665]

I cannot express how grateful I am with Justin Vernon, and of course, with Bon Iver. The music they transmit is so human and transcendant, which makes me feel wounded, but at the same time healed. I've listening to him since "For Emma, Forever Ago" (Hands down, top 5 favourite album of all time) and man...their music is so much needed right now. Hyped for the new album, hyped for the incoming tour. Is good to be alive. Cheers!

[@AKAwafan]

That's a very good way to describe their music! I can't wait for this album either.

[@Artem.Chugunov]

Bon Iver is love 🧡

[@ceciliapontes3397]

I Know Bon Iver for just 3 years. It's not a decade, but the songs I listen to almost every day gave me the peace I was looking for in music. I am forever grateful for Justin Vernon and all of people responsable for giving this gift to the world. Bon Iver is my favorite band ever and I think will always be. Thank you guys.

[@Petra-P]

welcome to the loving family :) ive been a fan since all the way back to 2007 so its been 12 years! i was a young teenager and as i grew i grew up with this music and the music grew up with me. no time is short or long enough for this beauty and as i grew out of many many MANY musicians and albums, its safe to say i am never growing out of bon iver, its just not possible. you can clearly also feel the beautiful energy and for that it doesnt matter if youre a fan for a decade or a day. :) i hope we both have many beautiful and peaceful years ahead with this beautiful music.

[@carolinedelsole3671]

what are your other favorite albums? I wanna hear that top 5!

[@beckanderson1789]

How amazing is it to be alive in the same time and space as Bon Iver. That alone is good enough to keep me going. Thank you so much Justin (and everyone who makes Bon Iver work). I can’t imagine life without your music and I’m sure many watching this video agree. What an amazing thing

[@jestertryna8956]

100%

[@Gabrielnsl]

what i feel for this band is ABSOLUTELY different of what i feel about any other band. in every single video of this new album, i wanted to cry of joy. love u guys, peace and happiness for you all, long live to bon iver

[@flavio762]

I can't put in words how much this band means to me. So excited for the new album.

[@bendunne101]

Can't watch this video without turning it off and listening to a Bon Iver playlist.

[@bLackmarketRadio]

Right? I expected new Bon Iver music, instead, I get interviews with a bunch of people I couldn't care less about.

[@97javic]

Clay Old wow, that’s... unbelievably shitty

[@97javic]

Clay Old “gimme, gimme” right? Jesus

[@bLackmarketRadio]

@@97javic That's, just, like, your *opinion,* man. Oh, you care about total strangers? You must love my neighbor. I love Bon Iver, but I don't give two shits about 3rd parties using everything Justin's built as their own jumping off platform to try to give exposure to their brands. Not. Fucking. Interested.

[@bLackmarketRadio]

@@97javic Another inane comment. Cool. Real cool.

[@ericksodmg]

So cool they added clips of some of my favorite live recordings for Michicant and Heavenly Father!

[@AlanKempf]

He seems to be the kind type of guy you can sit with him and have a great talk about life for hours.. idk, i just love him.

[@7liamgallagher]

Bon Iver takes you to some divine dimensions where you can experience a melancholic beautiful sort of feelings that I am trying to describe but it is impossible, so you just need listen to it and experience. I just love it

[@noahbarahona7755]

cm spain this is such a great comment. There are truly no words to describe it

[@rightjoycon8452]

Bon Iver making me cry watching a promo for their new tour... They're too good! I've never seen Justin perform live but I would absolutely love to come out for this tour. Although, I'm afraid I might be in tears for most of the show haha

[@mathildeb2710]

i cried when i saw him and certain i will this time too

[@furrrfect]

I wasn't expecting the tears seeing him live but sure enough it came and it was cathartic

[@QueerAndUnplugged]

Just fresh off seeing Bon Iver in San Francisco on Sept. 12th 4th Row Center. It felt like I had gone to Church and I was there worshipping among my peeps. Unbelievable experience. SO much love in the arena. So much love and graciousness coming from Justin V. and the band.

[@bLackmarketRadio]

Got the notification, was stoked for new Bon Iver music, instead I got interviews with a bunch of people I couldn't give a shit less about.

[@frankito2657]

Best thing of my life, will forever be seeing Bon Iver perform at TD garden last year. Changed my life forever. I cry every time i listen to him, it’s something I can’t help, but also something i would never want to change. Since day one, Bon has had my heart and I’ll go to the grave remembering the time i spent enjoying bon iver.

[@mathildeb2710]

Bon Iver and Justin Vernon have very literally changed my life, giving me something that could so authentically reflect feelings I was never able to put into words or else - like an interactive therapeutic art form that could almost be its own class of musical psychedelics. I am going to one of these huge shows at an arena in October for this tour and am so beyond excited, and am curious to see how they are going to reconcile the huge audience with their intimate sound.

[@LuceStarlight5]

Thank you Bon Iver for being with me in good and bad times: when I listen to your songs it seems like I confess to a very close friend and that makes me feel so relieved and safe everytime. Such a journey together and its still not the end 🍁🍂🌲

[@MarcusAurelius7777]

I cannot wait for the new record! I was at vividLive in Sydney back in 2016 and it's by far and away the best musical performance I have ever been to. I am praying for them to bring this show to Sydney so I can experience the magic of Bon Iver again. 🥰

[@SamJohn2012]

[@scottmccabe4893]

Greatest band on the planet

[@gbcaffee]

I grew up on a farm on a gravel road in South Dakota. Mood wasn't set by the people around you, as it has become now living in Minneapolis, but instead, it was set by mother nature. Amongst all of that, I always felt an affinity towards Autumn. The days shorten slowly at first, and then night starts to cascade upon you more quickly as the autumn matures into the beginning of winter, bringing the immense, omnipotent soaring Milky Way in full display . The feeling of having completed the most labor intensive part of the year is both satisfying and relieving, and you are able to enjoy the fruits of your labor at last. The crisp chill that brings the sweetness to the apples touches your red and raw sunburned arms and cools them and fills your lungs with the natural beauty around you while you sleep at night with the windows open. On this 50th anniversary of Apollo, I am thankful for the stabilizing force of the our celestial companion, keeping the earth's tilt at 23.5, and bringing the beauty of the changing seasons with it.

[@bridget9844]
