Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) - Beach Baby (Live at MusicNOW 2010)

[@brendantaylor3570]

I bought the Blood Bank EP in the winter of 2010 for her. It was the first album I bought for her along with a red winter hat with the ball on top. We listened to this lying in my college bed, soft sheets and low lights and so many full moons. She ended our relationship this past January. 9 years. In some ways, our love was as fleeting and haunted as this song. I cry every time I listen for who we used to be and how this will always live inside of me. You don’t think your story is as important until it becomes your memory.

Brendan Taylor hang in there mate, you’ll find happiness again. Maybe with a new love, maybe with acceptance but you will, things will be better soon.

[@brendantaylor3570]

Mitchell Kim I appreciate your positive energy. I hope you are doing well. Thanks so much. Take care.

[@poooopman69]

Are you doing better now @Brendan Taylor?

[@brendantaylor3570]

TabMaster Thoughtful of you to ask. Yes, I am. But I think things become part of you is what I learned. Healing can always be a process. I hope you’re well and thanks.

@@brendantaylor3570 glad you are doing alright, healing can really take time

If I let myself listening to this song, like really- actually listen to it, I start to believe the most beautiful type of love is the kind laced with sadness.

[@seowth]

it is.

[@seowth]

well said

[@brendantaylor3570]

It fills your heart and haunts you. I was lucky enough to have loved like that, but it leaves you with the hope of something that can never be replaced.

[@ANoteToSelf]

I don't think an audience that big has been that quiet for a man since Jeff Buckley sang "hallelujah".

[@davidanderson6216]

This would have been absolute magic to see live, what a performance

[@olurotimiwilliams]

I could cry. This is beautiful.

[@VUlier]

I find myself coming back to this song each year for a decade now. And i can never put into words what it makes me feel. It is, however, something divinely beautiful but tragically sad. From the rough beginnings of life's pains and struggles to learning the skills to live with them, this song can make you relive your every broken moment and at the same time, feel a certain love towards those emotions. A will to go on without letting go.

2010 seems so long ago now

[@itdoesntmeanathing]

Such a wonderful melody.

[@benjibubbs]

this is literally one of my favorite songs ever seeing it live is blowing my mind

[@MrTaximusic]

when your out tell your lucky one

[@SweDante]

MrTaximusic You're.

[@jamesgatz6553]

+SweDante Your. You're means "you are" as in "You're fat". Your implies possession, as in "Your lucky one."

[@SweDante]

James Gatz I was referring to the first one, "when your out". Don't be silly.

[@jamesgatz6553]

SweDante Damn, got me. Didn't even think of that.

[@SweDante]

James Gatz Why thank you, good sir. Good day to you.

[@simonemaria856]

Certeza que eu estava vivendo errado sem conhecer esse cara. Meu Deus...que coisa linda.😭❤️

[@petersm69]

Everyone in that audience is entranced. As they should be!

[@kartoffelschweinehund9007]

We are all in awe.

[@lizasimmons1266]

I could listen to this song all day...

[@andrewcruz1931]

So beautiful!!

[@mskcouric]

Ridiculously good.

[@audr3yaudr3y]

so lovely

[@elizabethbeanland6527]

beautiul

[@sunbeam1664]

Is there really a better song that is only 8 lines?

[@seowth]

Can i answer!?!??!?! I'd say close to no. But there are some powerful ones. I don't know how many lines it really is but off the top of my head, Coconut Records - Slowly (the alternate version I believe) is pretty fuckin incredible too. But this is one of the all time greats.

[@jeepersmcgee3466]

Paul Schofield Woods has only four, and they're repeated through the whole song 😊

[@willymunksby7518]

Is there a better song in general?

[@davidweru3134]

Yup.
