Bon Iver- Beth/Rest (iTunes Session)

[@andreybakalenko2378]

Still listening to this track in 2025. Stil one of the best

[@cgbunks]

I love listening to all of the available studio and live versions of this masterpiece. This may be my ultimate favorite. Insane drum work and such a tight band - phenomenal...superb bass and guitar riffs out of nowhere. Perfect song for headphones - loud - helps me think there is still more good in our world.

[@andreybakalenko2378]

[@marcioartachofrugiuele]

[@ellenlinderhof]

I aint living in the dark no more it’s not a promiss I’m just gonna call it …. I feel that ❤️❤️ soo beautiful and Poetic the lyrics are Sometimes hard to realy understand but I feel this version deeply

[@silviezee28]

I truly second every word of your comment! It's magical!

[@janner78]

Agreed. This song found me and I found it at the right time in my life. It opened me up. I just got it as I was stood by the Peace memorial in Hiroshima after splitting from my wife. I think I went to find myself and instead I found Bon Iver 🙌🏻

[@phoebexxlouise]

My favourite song of all time

[@P9rkour90]

Fucking love this song. One of my all time favorites from Bon Iver and trust me I love all them.

[@luzoliveira9920]

Wow. it took time to grow on me but it’s definitely a masterpiece

[@Rixen]

best version I guess

[@justindtackett]

based on an interview i heard for this song, the feeling that people get when they listen to Beth/Rest is i think what he was embodying, though the lyrics are heavily poetic and hard to follow, we can sense this whole thing about moving on, moving foreword. The pain, the hope, the uncertainty, and the excitement of new possibility in the journey ahead. Also, he likes Bruce Hornsby from what I can tell.

[@Eva540]

Still absolutely gorgeous

[@ellenlinderhof2585]

Ooh my that part "i aint Living in the dark no more..... 🥰🥰🥰

[@victorsaila5879]

The first time listening to Bon Iver was after a really shitty day at school. I had thrown on some music when I got home and just cried for a while until I fell asleep in my bedroom. KZbin had kept playing tons of music while I was asleep and when I woke up, the entirety of Bon Iver was the video playing and Beth/Rest was on. There was rain outside, but the sun was still shining through a bit. It was one of those moments where you know you’re never going to forget it, and I haven’t. I don’t think I ever will, cus I knew when I heard this song that everything was gonna be okay.

[@brindlecake]

How am I only hearing this for the first time? This is incredible. I love the album version but this blows it out the water in every way.

[@harleybrunelle4519]

Best version I've heard way better than album

[@angelikaschwaff8021]

THE BEST version of this awesome song!!!

[@PositivelyMe]

I listen to this almost every day. ❤

[@davidweru3134]

This one is still forever.

[@hazmat5118]

4:20 onwards is simply stunning arrangement and improvisation, the way the tension is elevated and breaks in a wave that washes over in a beautiful flourish

[@drquantum6548]

One of the best songs i have heard!

[@webius502]

I cant stop listening to this, breaking it down and listening over and over, coming out of the bridge is just some amazing composing. Best of heard, i give it as much props as Freebird...not enough people have heard this.

[@TexasTsunami]

It's the most deeply layered version and it works deep down with that ramped up bass and drums.

[@STCVideoPhotography]

I have no fucking idea what this song is about but it's like I know what it means just by listening. That makes no sense.

You know, I've been trying to explain why I like Bon Iver so much to my wife and this is a very good explanation. With Justin's falsetto it can be hard to understand what he's saying sometimes, but I really don't care. The orchestration of his music just makes you feel things in the strangest way.

[@zach.hanford]

I also had her listen to the rare book room version of Beth/Rest and she exclaimed "if he has THAT singing voice, why does he ever sing falsetto?"

[@dakidnu-kidssongsnurserypo8909]

New and old listeners, welcome to the experience that you feel and define

[@ChecheD.sangma-kr4vf]

[@webius502]

Listen to this AT LEAST once a day. From 4:30 on, truly amazing. Amazing composition.

[@lucilliastreusvogel]

4:48 I've always found the album version of this part to be lackluster but this version's blew me away
