Bon Iver - Perth (Stripped)

The Wolves I & II
kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGrPo4mQmcafq80
Video for "The Wolves (Act I & II)" by Bon Iver from the Jagjaguwar release For Emma, Forever Ago Directed by Matt Amato for The Masses Filmed on location in Fall Creek, Wisconsin January 2008
This is by any description, a project that almost never happened. Rushing to get to Wisconsin for fresh snows and still frozen air, Director Matt Amato arrived in Eau Claire, hometown of Justin Vernon of Bon Iver, in late January.
In the midst of warming up after a long journey and excitedly telling Justin about all the projects he had on the horizon, Matt received a phone call. One of his best friends had suddenly and tragically passed away. All logic and reason were thrown out.
Nobody knew what to do. Matt didn't know whether to stay or go, or how he would even manage to get back to the airport in his state of shock. Justin just tried to stay calm. Between a flurry of phone calls and attempting to contact some of Matt's family to accompany him home, night fell. Almost by default, Matt remained in Eau Claire in the company of his newest acquaintance. Something about it was safe, and that was enough.
The next morning, Matt read the lyrics to "The Wolves" and felt as if those were the exact words he needed to hear from his departed friend. That pretty much sealed it. Matt would stay and work, even as the thought of making a video became the last thing on their minds. They built a bonfire and just let it burn all day and into the night, and Matt filmed.
The weight of the circumstances propelled the collaboration to a place these sort of projects don't often go. The cathartic spirit of Bon Iver's music had found its kindred spirit in imagery.
"what happened that day defined the next five years of my life", Vernon said in documentary 'I Am Heath Ledger'

never would have guessed that song was about him. love it even more. he died when I was about 2 but I wish he was still here.

I miss this man, I miss this time.

[@qianchenghao2229]

My favorite movie role is the joker from 《Batman:DarkKnight2》2008 version.Then i know the actor of Joker is Heath Ledger.After that i also found the man in the 《Brokeback Mountain 》is him.I started to be fascinated about this soul and expecting more performance from him.I felt really pity and upset when i known he's been gone. I started to love Bon Iver's song since 2017 and been listening their songs till now. Perth is locate at Australia where i went abroad study for two years. Today i found that,my favorite band “Bon Iver” have a song named after “Perth” the city in the country where i've been enjoy living,in memory of my favorite actor “Heath Ledger". Some how i felt some beautiful coincidence and love connected to this world.Rest in peace Heath Ledger.

While this is tremendously powerful on its own, it also brings to light how fucking bonkers the drums on this song are.

I was born, raised and am currently in Perth. This song wrecked me.. I am a huge movie fan and was a massive fan of Heaths since before he went big. I always wished I'd have the chance to meet him but instead got crushed with the news of his death. This video brings back so many feelings.

[@billhudfilosovichy.d1859]

we miss u heath 😢

[@adamblackman6660]

I didn’t think much of Heath Ledgers till, I saw him in Lords of Dogtown. I thought he was Val Kilmer for at least 20 minutes. In an interview he said that he was playing Skip as if he was Val Kilmer…. I was amazed.

[@matheusa.c.c.8370]

Dude. Justin Vernon is just a tower of a person. As was Heath Ledger. I never knew this was written about this. Thanks for sharing mate.

I would’ve been about 5 when he passed, but he is, and always will be, such a big part of our hearts here in perth. I only wish I could’ve been old enough to appreciate him while he was alive, he seemed so wonderful snd full of life.

[@rotcaka]

I was a freshman in High School when 10 Things I Hate About You came out -- probably had a lot more of an impact on my trajectory in life than I realized until maybe now. I went on to get a degree in theater and this guy was always in the back of my mind. It read through the screen, and all the "acting", that he was just a juggernaut and a truly beautiful creature bearing out his heart -- a model, so that we could all have the courage to try and take those risks and create beauty in a world that will always be tragic and short -- no matter if you die early or when you're 100yrs. Be That For Everyone Around You. So that we can all live as free as the birds in the trees. My mother was that -- all Grace and Beauty even, and especially in her final days when I was nine. People still smile when they talk about her! 😊 First and foremost search for Grace in life in all things. The rest will take care of itself. It's all we have is Love. ✌️

@@mikey.1205 it clearly states, he named the song Perth in honour of Heath because it’s where he grew up, but the song isn’t about the place, it’s about the person Heath Ledger

[@mikey.1205]

@@user-vr5wq2nz8j So in other words, Heath's connection to the city 'inspired him to title the song Perth'. Are you slowly coming around to the logic your argument is missing?
