Bon Iver - Flume (Myspace Transmissions)

Bon Iver plays a rendition of Flume for Myspace's Transmissions studio.

[@brendantaylor3570]

What he did with "For Emma," the songs, texture, atmosphere is what many artists try and fail to do, it's why you try to create period. He created a feeling and a world so vivid and layered that it feels like you're entering a forbidden place, it's so familiar and yet private that it washes over you. For Emma for me is candles burning out, watery paintbrushes, half moons, rolling highway sounds...direct stillness. For Emma is an in between place, it's college and loving someone, and the pain of knowing that I can't replace the warmth of memories. It's old stereos, cigarette smoke around twilight, shadows on snowbanks, staying in bed with someone for days without missing anything. Knowing I can't hold onto anything. This world he created envelops the listener. I feel caught inside this world when I listen, this "place" he created. He captured profound emotion through sound and production and turned his inner landscape into a world. Not trying to sound grandiose here, but I feel like this is why we bother to keep listening, and will keep bothering to listen to this album as long as there are ears and music.

[@brendantaylor3570]

Oxiers Thanks for the input.

[@melinartmx]

This album... it doesn't matter if I'm happy or sad, For emma always fits.

[@tsepangmalephane5427]

Bruv... Right👀I thought I was the only one.. Or like in some kind of low-key in denial kind of depression 😂🙌🏾🤷🏾‍♂️... This album and this song makes me feel good regardless 🙌🏾

[@matthewbarb7676]

to those of you who are curious. that thing he is touching to the string is called an ebow. (electronic bow) it causes electro-magnetic vibrations through the string. similar to the way a traditional bow causes vibrations to resonate the string

[@samibachir4889]

THANK YOU -- I was literally on the hunt for this specific rendition of Flume wondering "hey what's that thing that made the guitar go oooOOOOOOO"

[@LouisSampinsMusic]

I never thought i would witness perfection until i discovered bon iver

[@odachristoffersen6060]

I love this song. I love this album. I LOVE THIS BAND!! After so many years I am not tired at all of listening to For Emma, Forever Ago. That's a sign you've found the perfect album. I will listen to this until I die.

[@K9Mike]

[@kayleighhamilton8459]

My fave man in the whole world..If you don't consider this talent I don't know what is.Language to the soul ♥

[@succulentyams]

I can't listen to this song enough, and this version is so warm & pure. Great post

[@markbaker3988]

Justin Vernon never ceases to amaze me. One of the most talented musicians on the planet without a doubt

[@AlexHumphreysMusic]

That instrumental breakdown, too perfect.

[@TheWildery]

I made the mistake of watching this video while high. It's just too good to be true. It's bliss... Heaven.

[@deadkey]

Man, that is real music. four humans, everyone with a different instument, creating something beautiful.

[@MrGuineapiggamer]

The note at end xx 😱😱😱😱 makes me wanna cry

[@brandencriner]

Myspace introduced me to Bon Iver. Good stuff.

[@dirkwdevos]

Hauntingly beautiful music that gets under your skin! Brilliant!

[@Danger12233]

Shivers!! That was absolutely beautiful!

[@akaenteng2895]

I will forever love the break where they play almost anything. And then they go back to synch up like a great release. Such a great song and performance

[@roryobrien3947]

that tone he gets out of that gretsch. holy fuck

[@alexcrayfish]

Man, I wish I was back in 2008. Love and Lust and life.

[@dpatrickwalsh]

The quiet ease with which Bon Iver recreate the simple beauty of their studio album makes it seem like any one could grab some friends, guitars, and a few racks of old recording gear and make a great record. If only it really were as easy as that.

[@misslucilleraglus]

this is so so so amazing.. i cant even imagine how people can make thes enoises

[@Iucy]

this song leaves me totally stunned. just wonderful

[@MarcusPdodger]

This band knows how to play real, from the heart, music!

[@kenneld]

a true soul singer.

[@benalberti]

something about his music... just... its indescribable... pure genious

[@FabberJaxxer]

A thing of beauty, this is.

[@michaelschwartz9971]

This suspends me in space and blows my senses gently

[@SpringSweet1213]

This band has changed my life.

[@AttojFreak]

Watched this video while tripping on shrooms for my first time. Absolutely life changing. Beautiful Song!

[@thegoodnewskids]

This song warms me, such beauty.

[@RevengeOfTheMojoWire]

Wow, tasteful use of an E-Bow is something of a first for popular music! Superb.

[@thejokesonyou16]

the dynamics of this song is crazy! I haven't heard anything like this before!

[@cameronlittlemusic]

These guys are on another level. Great music.

[@rossmorris]

incredible, amazing and just.... incredible!

[@xapulescado]

Beautiful!

[@harryspeace6316]

This song is so magic to me

[@stefanandersson1614]

I love this!!!

[@spotieotie]

Beautiful.

[@MBungle]

ngl that brought a tear to my eyes

[@HHD87]

wow. It's amazing the passion he puts in it. Come To Argentina!!! (It's always nice to dream :P)

[@443556jack]

that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen :'O

[@ViaChicago3441]

stunning

[@nitrorichmond230]

Love it

[@kceylee]

viscerally sobbing.

[@GerardoPetrikowski]

Ah! Beautiful!

[@rayray69882008]

you tube really needs to put in a love button.

[@jmonstuh]

I listen to this song atleast 3 times a day, if not more.

[@xstrdn]

I'm torn. I don't know which one's better, the original or this one. I fell in love with both.

[@joaorgpires]

goosebumps.

[@TimmieVD]

the song is floating!

[@pompomsousleau]

Perfect

[@jgonsalk]

Me too. One of the greatest things ever to happen.

[@Prophecy23JC]

Wow... Just .. wow.

[@flachtsix]

this version makes me FEEL so much more

[@charliejackson9803]

best version of this song

[@RICOSHAB]

...laura is absolutely amazing. i love you ;)

[@sims2sims2345]

I love how ambient they make it. So beautiful

[@RogerKaputnik]

Astonishing...

[@rsulrich13]

Holy shit. Incredible.

[@AlexSurfECS]

Justin has an amazing voice

[@asdfgbirds]

Im in heaven.

[@lsg5us]

@Guitardene It's called ebow...really adds to this song beautifully. Apparently works by an electromagnetic circuit that senses the vibration of the string, and then creates a magnetic field that propogates the string vibration at the same frequency, producing a smooth, eerie feedback.

[@happytrigger4233]

God bless the woman who broke his heart...

[@thyten]

That's an Ebow. They're really cool, it uses a battery powered magnet to vibrate the string. Definitely recommend trying one out some time. They sound amazing w/ a little reverb and delay!

[@gnic120]

@Isaidveto it will be, i saw him the other night. a must see show for sure, you will not regret it at all. such an amazing voice

[@chiffthegreat]

@ColbyFoote that has to be the most truthful statement. Bon Iver is pure talent.

[@livexgold]

@ColbyFoote so glad other people feel this way. Any time people bring up artists like Lady Gaga, and kesha, I literally say, "Oh god... don't get me started." Straight up makes me mad.

[@blakegreendev]

uhhhhhh mazing!

[@tanekaio]

1:10 - 1:18. wow.

[@akaenteng2895]

I can't get over this track. Ooof For Emma hurts like for real.

[@smurfswine7463]

This guy could sing "Into the the west" and nobody would know the difference :) he's got a wonderful voice

[@rasmidatta]

this is music

[@GeroFerch1]

awesome , i love so much that song , his from argentina , you have to come here , justin vernon

[@diegoxxxbc]

I always show this performance to all my fellow guitarists that think the e-bow is a gimmick.

[@Mynameisjoof]

First time I listened to this and heard S. Carey’s voice but didn’t see him on drums and thought he looked really different 12 years ago 😂 then they finally show him on the vibraphone

[@ajdelanger]

cool, thanks

[@Zeek001]

its called an e-bow if i am not mistaken, i was close to buying one at a time but i don't think i would have ever really had a use for it especially with the music my band played. i think it works by producing a magnetic field which causes the string to vibrate without anything touching it. they are pretty wickedly cool if used correctly in the right setting like in this perfomance

[@timwatley4793]

4:24 the song killed him.

[@dalmerful]

kkkkkkk R.I.P justin vernom

[@yavuz6661]

Thank you quietwiser

[@SoMusic15]

i think these myspace transmissions are actually better than the album version, to be frank. stunning performance!

[@hany259]

oh my god..this is fucking beautiful

[@maggiediaz1998]

but that moment when they come back is instant musical ecstasy.

[@eduardocavassini]

It's impossible to don't like it!

[@jonnyf]

I want it. Haha. Thanks for answering!!

[@strumstrumstrum]

he sure does!

[@lozspinachi]

im listening to this 5 times a day regularly just like your recommend fruit and veg in take! Its very important you know!

[@Lauren6666]

i think i'm in heaven

[@MikeyyDrumss]

This is so genius.

[@eliz0x]

Amazing amazing amazing. So fucking amazing.

[@nickrandles1102]

I love how his band has always looked like Tim and Eric extras.

[@Exoteric01]

@slitheringinterstate I think you and me were cut from the same cloth thi song blows my mind

[@AtlanticSpamHammer]

Myspace, holy shit

[@monsieur_charles]

good for your soul.

[@Arbo3000]

@johnielsen08 Thank you! i will watch out for reverend guitars

[@thejokesonyou16]

@stvnhws It was not nonsense. It was a perfectly rehearsed explaination of Winter.

[@metalmaniac767]

@youngaikidoka and when he found out he decided to still leave it out because Hiver reminded him too much of liver which is where his illness was at the time; or so I read.
