Bon Iver - Blindsided (Myspace Transmissions)

[@NathanMandjes]

This aged like fine wine. Stunning.

[@matureyoungman]

I was wondering why the havarti I'm eating tastes so rich...

[@JordanJohnsonify]

Listening to this while raindrops fall on my bedroom window.. there are no words to describe the feeling

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

I can feel the words here. I walked around my childhood wood two years ago and the memes blindsided me. Can't say I wish to walk there again, just too many ghosts of the past, and of those that have left us too soon.

[@akaenteng2895]

Well this is me right now.

[@Mrandresdreyna]

It's just me or the line "my feet melt the snow" is the most beautiful line in the whole song?

[@epochphilosophy]

The solo that starts at 3:12 is really one of the most underrated pieces of guitar I've ever heard. Almost never do you hear a solo that is completely melodic, and useful for building any emotional tension. Such a beautiful piece of guitar work.

[@nicbongo]

They rely on it 100%. In their lives performances they involve the audience in the music making too. Truly cathartic to scream or sing your guts out whilst they provide the space and encourage your participation. This band is a great example of why I value emotive artists over technical ones. Just breath taking.

[@kangugikaranja3385]

This is when “the band” hit their groove. Much like Kevin of tame impala, Justin can mastermind a piece or performance. But these performances where he gets lost in the music and sound he’s built with others help is utterly beautiful.

[@kangugikaranja3385]

Ps fuck Emma 😂

[@francoberardi5696]

Magic

[@michelletraill2175]

It's a beautiful build in the song

[@ethanfrandsen3902]

That riff at 3:26 is one of the most tasteful lines of guitar solo I've ever hear. I'm speechless...

[@yusuf4895]

Still listening and sobbing it’s 2019 love n light to u all

[@user-ch6ox4gi4o]

Me too. Wish you love and peace in heart and mind🌹❤️

[@allisonngraves]

Mystic Empath this comment made me feel so safe whoever u are i love u so much

[@joml2466]

Still the same in 2020

[@nicolasrichards1163]

i come back here every once in a while you know, always with something different

[@definitely.not.Longmaze]

The album is so well produced, yet so raw at the same time. He had such pure vision when he wrote it.

[@3markers]

I cannot even state how much I appreciate Bon Iver. I just love love their music.

[@whaleproductions9648]

i still feel that way another 4 albums later

[@tmatusb]

His voice soothes me... it's so melancholic but in a way that kind of gives hope, too...

[@sharathcv]

yes, that gives hope...

[@amandag6058]

000 00 0000

[@FionnCr]

It isn't. Seek drugs

[@aidanfl]

@@FionnCr what

[@MrJohnr47]

I played this album for a few weeks nonstop in my car after my dad passed on. It really helped

[@michaeld.williamsiii9026]

Feeling very sad and emotional with tears on my pillow while, stumbling upon this “moving piece” of music and Justin’s phenomenal melodic voice... 😢💫😥

[@smitmi2007]

bon iver just made me fall wildly in love with life

[@reardon535]

Listening to this during quarantine makes me miss 2008 even more

[@kaktusfeige2]

"down to the lock down."....

[@poop_syndrome]

he predicted the future like he works for the simpsons or something

[@onthewalkoffame]

Bon Iver just make me fall wildly in love with life.

[@Got2ski75]

It is astounding that there are only 39,000 hits on this. If there were millions, the world would be a better place.

[@Kyle_Noonan]

I can't believe its been almost 4 years since I saw this performance, and it changed my life

[@akaenteng2895]

Oh how I wish I can experience this era of Bon Iver in 08.

[@latvians13]

Part of my soul, eternally.

[@gregorpolzin9873]

+Daina Imperiale definitely!

[@whitegranite2105]

weirdo

[@zacharymanno]

With so few elements, he takes us on a sonic journey that lasts 7 minutes but feels like seconds!! Pure genius.

[@paulabenegas7451]

exactly!!!

[@GtVapor]

heard this song 6 years ago after a 6 year relationship. Slept on an Airbnb and i couldnt keep myself to the bed so i slept on the couch. Following day i went to see Bon Iver and Jason Vernon took my breath and heart away.

[@Crashoverall]

amazing artist. hope I have the opportunity to see him live someday

[@grant314]

tears are welling up in my eyes as i listen to this on the subway

[@romy4777]

Its just a bummer that in 2008, I was too young (8) to realize what wonderful music really sounds like. I would give everything to hear him live at least for one time. He is a genius and has alreay helped me through some tough times.

[@EthanTheMighty]

he still playing lmao

[@UnholyEquinox]

boniver.org/tour lol

[@jeremiahdietrich1374]

16 is "young enough" to realize EVERYTHING

[@nicbongo]

@@EthanTheMighty doesn't mean their touring near him.

[@juliannadevorah346]

how can someone NOT like this song? so beautiful

[@khojanekhethisa9711]

They'll come round. Some songs aren't fully comprehended at first listen

[@dontworryaboutitman94]

life lesson number one... DO NOT hurt Bon Iver. because he will make a beautiful song about it and you (along with the rest of the world) will never forgive yourself for it, but at the same time feel completely comforted by the soothing sound of his babymaking voice... that is all

[@josaphatsudjono2112]

2019 and my hair is still rises every goddam time i'm listening Bon Iver

[@birukgossaye2187]

The intro is so different from the studio version (higher) but sounds awesome. in love with this

[@amirahlee]

I dream of watching him play live one day and singing with him.

[@johnministro87]

+amirahlee I looked at his website, he's touring east asia at the moment.

[@levyleh]

+amirahlee yep, he blew me away when I saw him at Bonnaroo '12... had no idea who he was until he came on -- amazing experience, as 3oe91 says

[@pmp91193]

+amirahlee you def should! I saw him 2 days ago and it was heavenly gooood

[@NormalConcepts]

+amirahlee Ur dreaming about doing other things with him...

[@sharathcv]

seriously...

[@khojanekhethisa9711]

I keep playing this version on repeat. Such a masterpiece even now, after all these years. Timeless talent

[@justaperson9155]

bon iver and matt corby are the two most unique and beautiful sounds of the 21st century

[@delroymanderson4973]

Well said

[@timwatley4793]

minus matt corby

[@maxbirch8770]

*keaton Henson and Ben Howard also

[@legionclips8910]

max birch who’s Matt corby? More like Ben Howard

[@JonasGuitarPlayer]

I absolutely love this version, so raw, beautiful and emotional. Justin's voice is one of a kind

[@thalassay]

I still can't believe something so beautiful like this can exist.

[@angelom.7892]

listening to this song for the frst time in four years. I can almost see the rain falling consistenly on the bus I used to take everyday at 6.50 a.m. and the weary people hopping on and off at the stops

[@elleignacio2590]

Leaving a mark of discovery on this day 010924

[@monogirl3]

magnificent, again. i want to listen to every version of every song he's created. everytime he plays his songs he puts a totally unique spin on them, so each time it's different but just as perfect. THAT takes talent.

[@liyanam]

there aren't many people who can make silence in a song beautiful. he manages to fill the emptiness in the song SOOO full of feeling....sigh! its amazing!

[@cameronlittlemusic]

Gold. The world needs this.

[@YonderVillas]

tis artists like this that are proof that musics just gettin better

[@halmarkman]

This is actually my favourite Bon Iver performance ever. The only thing coming close is that performance of Skinny Love on Jools. But, wowza. This is just brilliant. And the mate who stated that this was 'disarming' completely bulls-eyed this. This is brilliant.

[@MrJohnr47]

halmarkman check out skinner love on Colbert. Real good.

[@purplehaze2144]

that solo is just amazing

[@hermann-josefhaas7034]

Musik, die Geist und Seele berührt. Großartig 👍

[@mypantsareTIGHTER]

as i was waiting on the video to load, i looked through the comments and noticed how everyone sounded like they were so in awe. i thought they might be overrating it because i couldnt remember the last single-take i'd seen that was really touching. mannn, was i wrong. bon iver is the best thing that's happened to me this summer

[@BrittyRaen]

this is one of those songs that you just want to continue forever.... i hate when it ends :( ... bon iver is amazing and im so glad i started listening to them, finally some real music!

[@ShesSoAwkward]

This is simply beautiful

[@NevadaWolfoXx]

Nothing's better than these

[@ckaGypsy]

This is an absolute masterpiece. Nobody can deny it.

[@rosemarshall1219]

That precious song where the silences are as most important as the voice.

[@philiphimmelstein9510]

3:18 for the start of the beautiful and brilliant guitar solo =)

[@Pacafeliz]

Gosh and that's some FAT strings on that guitar!!!

[@lililong4117]

my gosh, i am so inlove with him 😍

[@grantsabbath]

this is breathtakingly gorgeous. i love that he stepped out with that well placed solo. beauty.

[@graciegarcia1049]

i'm amazed at how beautiful this is

[@apeocherio]

I love his solo, very original.

[@OlorinMs]

I think that Bon Iver is my favorite band!!! How much I love their songs. Hope to see them in live! Love from France.

[@shaunbone]

love it...love the guitar work..love the arrangement....love the lyrics...i love the fact that i go dizzy with the wall of sound that it builds...breaks down...and then builds again....

[@MsDef222]

he's like an angel.

[@glenn.6202]

This is a good music for the soul.

[@edmoore6351]

impeccable vocals.

[@ludvik199t]

this is so ...... can't even find the words for it. Mezmerizingly beautifully good

[@SkodaCoversFitnessReviews]

This song is the definition of the word Awesome

[@TradSarah]

how beautiful is that song ... never regreted knowing this band! i love every single song, they have smth special.. and its too bad GOOD music is always hidden, and known by few of us

[@danielpbryson]

Best song, and a brilliant arrangement of it.

[@Iucy]

I'm speechless. wow

[@ivaneyMEA]

Meu Deus q coisa linda essa vibe 😭

[@joanacatbagan]

Back down, down to the downtown Down to the lock down, boards, nails lie around I crouch like a crow Contrasting the snow For the agony, I'd rather know Cause blinded I am blindsided Peek in, into the peer in I'm not really like this, I'm probably plightless I cup the window I'm crippled and slow For the agony I'd rather know Cause blinded I am blindsided Would you really rush out for me now? Taught line, down to the shoreline The end of a blood line, the moon is a cold light There's a pull to the flow My feet melt the snow For the irony, I'd rather know Cause blinded I was blindsided

[@melaniemarshall6942]

Thank you Joana! Xo

[@_.oneness._2224]

Thank a lot for having put here the words of this magical song. :)

[@beezkneez1966]

Yup, thanks had a hard time understanding what the lyrics were!

Definitely music you hear with your heart and soul, too. Doesnt matter what mood im in it manages to turn it around
