Bon Iver's Justin Vernon Interview on Jimmy Fallon

[@devilpizza123]

I love how deep his talking voice is but he always sings in such high falsetto.

[@ILoveMagic15]

Deeper voices often have better falsettos than singers with a higher natural voice.

[@len9192]

He did sing in bass in Exile ft. Taylor, and his voice was very exquisite!

[@sohamroy7668]

You’re so weird for noticing this 😂😂😂

[@perfectoid8376]

Exactly, it kind of bugged me.

[@mvlikmusic9091]

This man never ceases to amaze me... he was at the height of his mainstream career here with so much spotlight attention and was getting on covers of magazines, getting booked on jimmy fallon and even touring all over... and he walked away from all of it because he knew the corrupt nature of the music industry and with no hesitation he let it all go, because being a genuine artist was more important then fame and fortune. I love you Justin, you inspire me everyday. :-)

[@capoeirastronaut]

2018 he did the Michelberger festival. 2019 Blogotheque. Dude is performing at his peak.

[@CarrotCompany]

Allow me to clear up a couple of things. He is marginally talented and I can't hum nor remember a single song. Where are the BeeGees when you need them?

i've been pronouncing bon iver wrong this whole time?

[@VAStarGazer211]

+Dan English same bro. same.

[@yioyioyioyioify]

+Dan English Bon Iver is an intentional misspelling of "bon hiver", which is french for "nice winter"

[@Longley93]

+PURE162 lol...no

[@EmilyRose1]

Same lmfao

[@Mitch-Cumstein]

in a pitchfork interview he said he doesnt give a shit how you pronounce it, and there isnt really a right way to do it since its not an actual word but the misspelling of a french word. So, it is technically not wrong.

[@ibinyth5866]

I feel as though we need to thank Emma... Without her we wouldn't have such beautiful music that I feel we all can relate to

[@EmilyRose1]

Emma is not a real woman lol

[@hannahbailey8434]

Emma is the middle name of a real person.

[@scottstefan7970]

F*ck Emma in the FACE. He was brilliant before then. Guaranteed.

[@CraigPark]

@@EmilyRose1 She was in a band called "Mount Vernon" with Justin when they were in high school. She was a real person and she was intimate with him until about a year before he made the debut album.

[@josuemontes8389]

Nah fuck her

[@voteforseekaboo]

Makes me so happy to know I've been pronouncing his name right all this time.. I knew I wasn't crazy. Take that Jacob from high school 6 years ago!

[@lalitdulal6006]

🤣🤣

[@jda4874]

"Bon hiver" means "good winter" in French. It is often said at the first snowfall of the year and was used in an episode of the tv show Northern Exposure. From what I understand, this is where Justin got the name from and why the band played Northern Exposure's theme song as he walked out to the interview.

[@doyoureallylikeme]

hate how Jimmy is talking more than Justin

[@bobdogg23]

thank you for saying that! i thought the same thing

[@BinniamEskender]

+Noor E. it's obvious how Jimmy is nervous in the presence of Justin, which says a lot about the impact of Bon Iver... respect

[@nordmark16]

Sounds like a lot of Jimmy Fallon interviews

[@virgilthompson9247]

I’m way late but I thought “shut the fuck up Fallon”. Dammit. No wonder I never watch any late night shows any more. Where is Craig Ferguson?!?

[@lilycarr638]

even him talking sounds beautiful

[@BabyNana3970]

Exile brought me here. His voice is mesmerizing

[@peterlukats937]

Saw Bon Iver in Portugal last night. Fucking astonishing. Justin is a straight up musical genius.

what's so ironic is that Matt Boomer is on set and is sitting beside Justin. when i consider that the first time i heard Bon Iver was on the show Chuck where Matt Boomer played Bryce Larkin.

[@catwestley3611]

well I've been saying his name wrong

[@Tom_W_Jones]

How do you mispronounce Justin?

[@elspethtirel]

They were probably mispronouncing "Bon Iver".

[@Tom_W_Jones]

Emma Fisher haha you reckon

[@catwestley3611]

Yeah I meant Bon Iver hahah

[@MonieMuse]

Cat Westley seriously Lol the correct pronunciation sounds like one word

[@loganl7088]

I don’t like how jimmy is joking about his depression because i did that myself and I never knew how bad it was until now so Im going to stop taking it lightly

[@MicahManaitai]

I appreciate the Northern Exposure theme as he walks on hahaha

[@willdraper1141]

he is such a deep guy I can tell its hard for him with this unipersonal shallow stuff

[@valeriavld1662]

I’ve been saying his name wrong. I said like “bon aiver” 😂

[@soumiabenrekia5796]

Omg thank you KZbin for recommending this

[@hannahdoesbookreviews4087]

he seems like a big fan

[@manybugs]

The house band is playing the the title track from the 90s CBS tv show, Northern Exposure. There was an episode from that show called Bon Iver. (good winter)

[@briannahickey2941]

I love how he can’t stop smiling

[@Karma7711]

"Bon iver" means "happy winter", which would actually be a good name for a cabin!

[@stephenpryce4287]

Fallon annoyed the shit out of me in this interview. Anybody else feel the same?

[@billie_vanilli]

Actually this felt surprisingly sincere, not annoying at all

[@blackcallalily6540]

He didn't let Justin get a word in edgewise.. BUT.. I do love me some Jimmy Fallon

[@Lateralus03]

I think Jimmy knew Justin wasn't much of a talker so he figured he'd offer him the courtesy of carrying the interview. It turned out well, I think.

[@marcusholmbring514]

Fallon annoys the shit out of me ALL of the time so yeah, I feel the same.

[@potatoesalads2678]

This was actually less annoying then usual

[@LooLarBonkers]

I love this man to the moon and back

[@nothingreally6680]

This guy needs to release a new album soon so I can see him back on Fallon. Also, snl would be nice. I'd like to see him confront Justin Timberlake on his impression.

[@ebk0]

Jimmy Fallon's a nice guy and all, but he inserts way too much of himself into the interview. Actually, it might be a mistake to call it an interview because he hardly lets Justin get a word in edgewise. And Jimmy does this constantly, with every guest on his show.

[@10chubb]

Justin was soooooo humbled

[@unearthinganna]

He's so cute I CAN'T 😩❤

[@Wildchile]

Bon Iver is my heart.

great interview, thanks!!

[@LadyLummox333]

These are my two favorite men in the world, Justin's mind is so wonderful, and jimmy makes me laugh more then anyone else, loved seeing them together.

[@cybellemotherwell8312]

I think Emma is more like a concept than a girl Emma is a emotion Emma is heartbreak Emma represents pain

[@CraigPark]

He references both in the same interview when he got asked that question. Emma was a real girl that Justin was intimate with wayyy back in the day, however he concludes that same quote by saying Emma is a pain in your life you can't forget and that's what the album is about.

[@joepbailey]

love your picture!.. Skinny Fists is one of my favourite albums of all time.

[@Shakookoomon]

whats the song that the band plays at the end? its sounds familiar..

[@cvachon7]

Jimmy Fallon can spoil anything.

[@tylerrandolph4436]

No, I'm so disturbed that it's not pronounced the way I thought it was. Bone Eevehr wtf?

[@jspqmcn]

comes from french "bon hiver" which means "happy winter", he just removed the H. So the pronounciation is kinda alike the french one

[@tylerrandolph4436]

jspqmcn That's crazy. I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time. I've even gotten some of my friends into Bon Iver, and I've pronounced it wrong to them. I had no clue.

[@IanBpa]

What makes me angry is that I've been saying bon in a French accent then I found out he pronounces bon as "BONE".

[@jspqmcn]

IanBpa haha yea "bon" is pronounced "bone" because its in front of "hiver"... French and it's damn liaisons :D

[@IanBpa]

Ah, that makes sense actually.

[@karengastelum2146]

i love him

[@mottahead6464]

Bon Iver (Bon Hiver)? (Nice winter) Not in Canada.

[@WonderTuff]

verysillypenguin Its not ivory. He just shortened hiver to iver because hiver reminded him of liver disease or something.

[@evilcraft99]

Mottahead actually Bon hiver means have a good winter

[@mottahead6464]

evilcraft99 Anyways, not in Canada. Just way too fucking long.

[@alexwatson2783]

This is exactly how NOT to interview someone!!! Justin Vernon is an exceptional artist and instead of treating the audience to an education, Jimmy Fallon interrupts, misleads and generally makes the whole interaction about himself! I was disappointed watching this! Just to be clear.... Justin Vernon is a god and suffered Jimmy Fallon with dignity!!!!!

[@stephenphilip5294]

I always thought it was pronounced bon iver not bon iver

[@Lanearndt]

where in the fuck is the live performance from when JV sat in the ROots on the old Fallon?! It's a couple of the best performances of all time and it's been scrubbed from the internet!! If anyone has it on a hard drive I'll pay you for it!!

[@sarahberkner]

I found some unlisted Fallon videos (the Lip Sync videos) in a playlist, so it might be on a playlist somewhere.

[@percettecarl]

Wish all late night hosts talked with their musical guests and not just give them time to play a song. We know their music, it’s nice to get to know the artist as well.

[@wezzlyn]

Anyone notice that the Billboard magasine cover has "Fallon" on it also?

[@pablodebella7695]

One of the few times I saw jimmy being real in an interview, since he plays and likes music he was very natural here. Most other times he tries too hard to be cool and fails, with lots of forced laughs.

[@JaxonTroubleTV]

Wow. God's first Late Night interview. Loved it.

[@fallball13]

[@Carrot421911]

It sounds like a version of the theme song of the "Northern Exposure" TV series. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4irkp59pK5jqJI

[@RobeeBarrera]

Carrot421911 would make sense. I read that's all he watched while he stayed in the cabin.

[@granteubanks]

The name Bon Iver comes from Northern Exposure.

this is the 3rd time i’ve heard someone with a falsetto who’s singing voice ascends to the heavens, but their speaking voice drops to the floor edit: coming back to say that it’s to be expected, but it still sounds really weird

[@Kearnach]

[@afullms]

I actually thought the interview was pretty good...

[@P9rkour90]

Me too

[@tomaf]

I thought he was from iceland or some nordic country. I first heard holocene on a video of some guy forging an axe head in some cold, snowy place, then i saw the video with that boy in the cabin out in the middle of nowhere, and bon iver looks like a nordic name, so my bubble was burst when i founrd out he's just a 'murcan musician.

[@nedisahonkey]

tomaf Hes probably got some scandinavian in him based on where hes from. But why does it matter where an artist is from as long as the music is good? Other than to make it 'exotic'

[@sarahberkner]

Jimmy was kind of trolling him here, "You've come far from that frozen cabin" He is a little too talkative to be a good interviewer but if I were Justin I'd appreciate Jimmy's obvious appreciation for my music without me having to come up with things to say.
