Justin Vernon - When It Rains Down Here

[@jonahwhalen9396]

I'm still convinced that the 1.2 million views are just the same 100 or so people listening to it over and over

[@yavuz6661]

You're not mistaken.

[@iidevilsspawnii6506]

every hipster would love that idea

[@Fyalane]

Je crois que tu as vraiment raison !! 456 fois ou 457 fois, or maybe more !!!

[@lauramowbray1226]

Best comment. I’ve listened for two days straight.😂

[@music_life79]

True

[@nicoleeegordon]

I feel like everytime I find a new Justin Vernon song it's like the universe is telling me I'm on the right path and I'm doing the right thing while it's okay when things feels bad at times. His voice and compositions are so reassuring and soothing. What a gem!

[@natialiparteliani4794]

Yes! Very well put 😊

[@diespringerin602]

Oh, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you.

[@NathanSano]

Justin Vernon is one of the greatest artists weve ever had the privilege of listening to. we are so lucky to have been born alongside him.

[@RyanWeber84]

@@ellenchen9719 I am so proud to live a couple hours from where he grew up. Never expected such a transcendent talent to come out of Wisconsin like him

[@melsantini3818]

I💙him. Nurturing my soul 🤗

[@MrSkinnyWhale]

I remember when I was born I looked to my right and there he was - Justin Vernon. He slapped my ass to make me cry and then just left. Now in my adulthood Justin Vernon still slaps my ass emotionally through music.

[@martinparidon9056]

Yeah I got to see him live in Germany last year. Undescribable. Never thought this would ever happen.

[@tsepangmalephane5427]

Facts

[@NathanMandjes]

The moment you read on Reddit that Justin Vernon does’t remember this song. Hilarious. What a beautiful song.

[@lauramowbray1226]

there is a deeper spirit to this song. moving through acute grief, I listened to this song for two days as it was the only thing I could tolerate. Why? That’s the mystery.

[@kathrynwest9267]

I want to live forever in this song.

[@scatteredstars80AD]

Justin's voice is sun through the clouds here. Through the trees....through the windows and walls. Through my eyelids I squeeze so hard so I don't see the world. This place is frightening and I wonder every day what Im doing here. What service do I provide...what does any of this mean? I don't feel like I belong at all.

[@deviateedits]

You and me both, my friend. Along with many others. Almost everyone at some stage I’d say. Take solace in the fact that nearly everyone is as lost as you are. This way we’re made to live is not meant for what we are.

[@josepha.sojajr.2725]

I play this song when I'm especially missing someone.

[@ChrisBarrett643]

17years late to discover this song. Better later than never.

[@kealaniburgos9963]

I'm thinking the same over here. Still wish I would have found it sooner though!

[@alwalker1987]

try being 19 years late lol

[@dzac12]

how about 20 years lol

[@friendlyplayer92]

20 years here too... Damn wtf

[@unvish_music]

This has to be my most visited video on KZbin. As a singer songwriter, some of the ideas from this song are gold.

[@Brown57]

One of, if not the most beautiful songs I've ever heard

[@palashraghuwanshi4815]

It's so indie that it's not even on Spotify. Jokes aside why doesn't Justin puts this on Spotify, I want to make it part of my playlist.

[@64wing]

Everything this guy does is gold. His work is the best backdrop for introspection and long drives, which seem to go hand in hand

[@morpor195]

I love when he sings in his lower register

[@ArkianBeats]

yeah he tend to do falsetto

[@Danielle-do1tw]

Me too

[@melinamaple2287]

Fuuuuuuuck me up, this is one of the most beautiful bits of sound and beating heart that has ever blessed these ears.

[@JackFrancis]

The piano ending is absolutely mesmerising. There's something about it that has similarities to I can't make you love me.

[@cocaswa]

I agree! Probably because Justin Vernon is a big Bruce Hornsby fan and is influenced by him!

[@DiamondHackerz]

very similar to his cover of "I can't make you love me"

[@danielmills1489]

I totally hear it its that one fast part

[@ccm1192]

Yep, they're called ornaments. Bruce Hornsby was really good at using ornaments in his piano work.

[@annereilly8372]

Definitely has shades of 'Beth/Rest' at the end, and the Bruce Hornsby influence.

[@sajaljoshi2539]

Verse 1] The hills speaking softly to brag The rain is so quiet it's sad In liberty it rains so loud we can't hear It's so hard to see outside when it rains down here [Verse 2] The arches hold together St. Louis And the mighty Mississippi splits right through us Before my arches rebuild, they must have a song But I can't proceed until the rain is gone [Verse 3] Blue grey background on those moss green pines Heavy grown raindrops clinging to the electrical lines Floating in an atmosphere of truth and hidden lies Sometimes out here, I feel like my heroes can save my life [Verse 4] Through the window of this rickety rail car And I see the world scene by scene The silver mountains and blue streams I will only ever smell the train steam [Verse 5] We hear Louis Armstrong play his horn on the shortwave radio His sound breaks my heart with a stone in my throat Like a sword through a heart, leaking tears onto the ground So hard to see when it rains down here

[@sandygeer2732]

Beautiful

[@friendlyplayer92]

Woah, amazing lyrics

[@פלגכץ]

Sometimes out here, I feel like my heroes can save my life I have chills

[@Marmer]

[Verse 6] Alone, is where I been leading to be So I, just been sailing the seas The wind can blow me wherever it needs to take me The skipper taunts the sky Thunder and waves crashing into the side It will never break him, it will never save him

[@richardvarga9728]

sorry for my lateness, but this man's music MUST BE REMEMBERED. This(and everything from Vernon) is like a cure for everyone's soul, even if I'm not depressed or anything. It's just...fck it...I can't express it...you heard it. You already know

[@Jackson-et7jd]

Wisconsin folk music at its finest right here

[@marianaigoe]

I want to live for the rest of my life within this song 🎶 and fall in love with that ending playing in the background.

[@chrisvonwuerttemberg]

Den kannte ich noch gar nicht. Großartig

[@foxgloveriver]

Why is this not found on Spotify or Apple? It’s sooo damn good

[@Dabufin]

Ive tried to contact justin many times regarding this issue😂😂😂

[@mrmashhead5089]

[@altf3130]

@@gased7317 WOW, Thanks a lot for your help :)

[@maximusaurelius7306]

Wow beautiful song. I was 17 when this was released, young and completely daft. At that age I was listening to dance music and pop shite on the radio. 18 years later at 35 I find myself obsessed with Justin and Bon Iver etc.

[@John-xk6gg]

wow youre so deep and mature now.

[@weekaihr]

It’s ok to listen to pop and dance music every now and again if you like it. Same w this type of music

[@ferpiopiogm]

Justin Vernon...probably the most gifted folk songwriter in the 00s so far... If we were just 'that simple' to frame him in the 'Folk Genre' of course

[@jillesoom3305]

might i add ben howard to that list

[@sadboievan5202]

I love Vernon, but I think you might have to give that distinction to Gregory Alan Isakov.

[@FreerunTMac]

Evan MS goodness yes. You must see him live if you haven’t yet. He is quickly growing in popularity but not nearly fast enough to match his talent.

[@brianuranich1653]

Evan MS The only close comparison would be Gregory Alan Isakov

[@tomasazevedo1979]

Ben Howard is superb too

[@RizwanKhan-bk1eo]

[@mcarver000]

This is the best.

[@lukula2934]

I don't know but these lyrics don't feel like J V's....No big deal anyway...Maybe its an attempt to sound like someone else you know, kinda like a tribute?

lukula Bruh. This was before his popularity, and he writes like this in his other projects. You can’t base someone’s work off of your flawed vision of them brother.
