I do like how La Blogothèque realized that Bon Iver was gold and maybe the best thing they'd ever capture so they filmed a metric fuuuuck ton. I'm grateful more than 10 years later.

[@tomgolding7481]

Kevin McQuaid It is very good. I'm not sure a verb is a metric unit of measurement though. It would be like saying "I have two walk tonnes" or "five jump tonnes"

Best comment

[@david-vk6gw]

​@@tomgolding7481this is great

[@RyanJamesDuffy]

Shit….I’m old

[@doinklas]

15 years later, thank you blogotheque for a timeless presentation of a timeless artist

[@tynie626]

the bit where the camera does circles round them is genius. as the mic gets closer to each of them you get an amplification of what each of them bring to the harmonies and overall sound... AMAZING!!!!

[@yavuz6661]

That moment, a song, belongs to timelessness. That is why we are here in 2020, it seems like I will be here again and again.

[@oskixwhatever]

3:44 - 4:20 This spinning movement was total genius Mr Vincent Moon.

[@katem3]

i literally live from Bon Iver

[@theekatieebabiee]

I watch this every day.....not ashamed

[@brendanwang106]

me too friend

[@SamA-nj7yr]

Brendan Wang she did say it three years ago and you said your comment 4 weeks ago and she’s not replied in those 4 weeks so I’d imagine she doesn’t watch it every day anymore.

[@ksdaf]

that camera swirl at the end is pretty surreal and amazing, it really creates this vibe of energy and momentum. on paper it'd sound gimmicky but it was pulled off so well

[@terptwerk]

I am so glad I was introduced to Bon Iver...I can listen to them for hours, days, months and still am left in awe

[@hendrywibisono18]

"Lump Sum" Sold my cold knot, a heavy stone Sold my red horse for a venture home To vanish on the bow Settling slow Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums Or so the story goes Color the era Film it as historical My mile could not pump the plumb In my arbor 'till my ardor trumped Every inner inertia Lump sum All at once rushing from the sump-pump Or so the story goes Balance we won't know We will see when it gets warm

[@junkheadrooster]

Hendry Wibisono man, such poetrty.

[@uknowwho889]

The music is amazing, but let's be honest, the photography is incredible as well! It really seals the deal for me, so fitting.

[@mattleazer5674]

This video always makes me think that these three are magical bards who have managed to create arcane power through their music. As the song continues they grow stronger and more strained as the spell gets harder and harder. The camera spins and the intensity builds. Idk all of these Paris Bon Iver videos are just, magical? They got me through a lot.

[@blackbird-ep9hz]

they really are magical

[@0neStepAtATime]

I love how the camera is like a part of the song. Speeding up and slowing down. It makes the song THAT much more powerful. Lovelyyyyy

[@sgetling]

Both delicate and intricate and raw and primal at the same time. Beautiful as always.

[@hwneezy]

I'm a percussionist. and it's so nice to see that in this video, the auxilary instruments (bell set/shakers) are actually being played by a person. Most bands these days have those instruments digitally made, instead of actually being played. It makes me happy that some people still haven't let go of what real music is.

[@halberd123]

When your a musician yourself, you wish you could write music as soulful and passionate as this. Epic

[@theekatieebabiee]

2 years later and here I am, still dying over this masterpiece

[@bagasdipo3816]

Same

[@Trecoolerok]

You're the lucky one then. So as I, that know about this music

[@squeakeththewheel]

S. Carey has grown into a major talent on his own. His recent albums are terrific.

[@JarvisFilms]

Good God. The power of music man. That is all.

[@jenELonator33]

listening to bon iver live is like being in a whole new world. i love it.

[@richyorosun9187]

I've never stopped listening to this album. but stripped back to the band delivering their music in such a way...why do they have to make it even better?! unfair.

[@chuckwino2868]

why do i cry

[@gabrielwhite1716]

Because it's pure . . . It comes from within the soul of those who sing it and therefore it is beauty in the form of melody and song and music. It is real so why wouldn't you cry.

[@P9rkour90]

Gabriel White very well put my friend

[@simonandguia7958]

This just takes me back to 2007-2008 times. Summed up in the feeling of this song and video

[@Daddysgoog]

i am 12 years old. i found bon iver last year i do belive. i instantly fell inlove. i dont listen to any mainstream music. because it really ISNT 'music.' THIS is music. thank you justin. much love from Canada.

[@acurlyboi2944]

Ur now 22 and that’s frightening

[@abcdface]

The power the shaker brings at 4:10 is amazing.

[@brickmpj]

these blogotheque cameramen and women are so damn good at what they do. they add something to almost everything they video.

[@therearen0rules]

i didn't think this song could get any more beautiful.

[@zmanwithfire]

I freaking love it. the harmonization is just fantastic. I'll be watching this video again... and probably a few times after that.

[@RomansD828]

how can you not love Bon Iver? I find it impossible

[@BoarhideGaming]

This video is so old, there's a MySpace link at the end....damn

[@oslal]

SHIET

[@FishingforFisher]

The dream of the 2000's is still alive!

[@silaslang]

You said this 4 years ago.

[@ricksteves1973]

it's only 12

[@xTIMMYxPx]

Someone doesn’t understand Time.. please tell me more about the disparities between Darpnet and Xanga /Livejournal/Geocities next please.....

[@VantreeMusic]

From every aspect this video is just amazing. The scenery is interesting and intimate, the vocals are absolutely amazing, the instrumentals are unique and easy to listen to, even the camera work is exciting and gripping. Bon Iver excels once again, they have become the biggest "must see" band of the year.

[@Kiddowesth]

Due to songs and performances like this, I still keep a bit of hope in humanity!

[@abcdface]

It's amazing how powerful the shaker sounds here. Brilliant.

[@cleanteamyar]

I love Bon Iver. Their music is real... So pure - there's none of this synthesized instruments crap... Nothing to hide behind. You here the music in it's pure form - all it's faults and perfections. THAT is what makes this band the best band I've ever heard. So beautiful

[@Laressliss]

Real piece of ART!

[@j5cents]

Know this is old but this is my recent obsession. Love how they eff up the first verse...

[@jmconnely]

this is sick as hell!!! The harmonies are so tight... I am actually in love with this guys. Thanks for making my day with some great musical talent

[@riseabovethought]

I'm glad you wrote this, same thing happened to me. It's been hard to even listen to old music I used to like after hearing this and really the whole Album. It's beautiful soul capturing music...what music should be. It's spiritual.

[@LisePiltoft]

I'm just in love with Take Away Shows with Bon Iver.

[@jonizzle112]

their voices blend so well

[@tallestfoxes]

This is my favorite video on the internet.

[@kbj8967]

A soothing and great beautiful tune that has found its way into our lives.

[@ChipChipBreak]

i really like this version. i'm pretty stunned by every version i've heard so far.

[@Antmanuke]

This is music, so incredibly good.

[@juliuscena]

great music, great film. I don't know what else to say! This blew me away!

[@pu3he]

Wow, just wow. Everything pieced together so well, the music, the camera. Bon Iver is mind blowing.

[@jfinzo]

this guy never fails to amaze me... heard that song 500 times prolly and it still blows me away... wow

[@Cola21212]

The man has discovered his most essential, limitless gift from God and is developing it in unimaginable ways. He is truly a man striving to reach his full potential in life.

[@dontthatsoundnice]

I love how they filmed it, along with the song itself. It's a perfect comliment to the group.

[@Hadr0N666]

I maybe can't understand a single word but im preety sure the lyrics are beautiful. you are amazinh Bon!

[@jellikit1939]

Justin can sing about anything and still make it wonderful. That part at the end about Indian fruit is just amazing! ;)

[@ConDogg383]

Every Bon Iver video I watch makes me want to go and make beautiful music.

[@MJAGSALOG]

This video takes me back 3 years ago....I can't believe I forgot about this video... I used to watch it like everyday for a month straight lol

[@malevenable]

so the story goes...this is simply incredible

[@kaanakgol]

10.5 years... All of these are just memories now...

[@W4LT3Rego]

it's that time to cry again.

[@ScatteredConfetti]

Wow, beautiful version! So much emotion in it..

[@delmarco]

Fantastic camera work to a fantastic rendition of a fantastic song... FANTASTIC!

[@TroyAndThenSome]

you know when youve not listened to an artist in forever and then you stumble across a video like this you never saw before... it makes me just arggh go all mellow and wanna cry Bon iver stole my heart

[@Elvialuciana]

BEAUTIFUL! It made me cry like a baby

[@stxlaxPP]

pretty ridiculous how good this is

[@markgundy]

this right here is what makes bon iver a BAND, and not a solo project- that may have been it's origins..but my has it grown

[@tastethepain28]

Gracie does have a point, in that the entirety of For Emma, Forever Ago was written and recorded by Vernon alone. Through this we can see his amazing talent. That said, the improvisation of the others, not to mention the harmony and energy they bring is irreplaceable.

[@TheDestamon]

from time to time I come back here to listen to this great artist =)

[@Jwayse]

This is so beautiful, I can't even put it into words.

[@riseabovethought]

All his music is a soul capturing spiritual experience.

[@seanr1013q]

wow...just wow, can't believe i've never seen this

[@futurefootballnation3316]

Sean Manley welcome. I’ve seen this a couple hundred times and still get goosebumps

[@RedDog737]

incredible rendition, priceless.

[@theonuk]

musical and visual perfection!

[@rafamelao]

It's been a while since i wanted to put my hand on my pocket to buy music. This band somehow made me wanna do it. Just for the brillianceness (if there's such a word). The beauty of their songs is in the small details and simplicity. I'm completely in awe by this...

[@aliy0702]

Here in 2019! This song ❤️

[@ozomat]

best ever video where paris and art looked

[@sierrabrice6500]

absolutely beautiful.

[@Binky84]

[@1809bones]

Love this band!!!

[@Rainmakerlola]

They just make amazing, heart touching music.

[@Runner4Lif3]

[@Rocky206]

Beautifully shot. Beautifully performed. Instant fan thanks to this video. Thanks guys.

[@Alexom212]

Much Love From Brazil 🙏

[@eggymaticremit]
