I can’t believe this didn’t make it onto the new album

[@benpyper5089]

I agree, I’ve been waiting 6 years hoping he will record this one. Somebody tell him!

[@thenew22]

Is anyone else appreciating how awesome that bass wobble sounds? Idk how they get that effect but it sounds great

[@cchristinefan]

I have 89 tatted on my back. I was there that night at the inaugural eaux claires fest, and this moment saved my life.

[@Mak933]

I don't know you, but I was also there that night with my ex-wife. Very proud of you. That was a night to remember for all of our time.

[@StudioScarecrow]

I’m getting an 89 tattoo as well. It says a lot about this song that despite being never released and only played twice, it’s touched so many people so deeply

[@CertifiedPsychiatrist]

I think this has to be one of Bon Iver's best songs + i absolutely adore that the Staves joined them on this one. Bon Iver + The Staves = near perfection

[@eddiflores7277]

I will remember this night for as long as I live.

[@MrBogus213]

I am incredibly jealous and happy for you.

[@-tdjramsey-5407]

On January 13th Justin tweeted that there was a “high chance” of this song officially releasing.

[@MrBogus213]

This is incredible. I wish The Staves would join like Jen Wasner has. Their harmonies really round out the live sound. Just lovely.

[@awwwwwshit]

This recording is about to turn 5 years old HOW do we not have an actual recording of this yet?!?!

[@chile_en_nogada2090]

Justin said the song isnt good enough

[@JDizzle785]

@@chile_en_nogada2090 dick move considering the fans love it and like 2 years ago he said it was getting a release soon. His music his call but like damn bro

[@StudioScarecrow]

@@chile_en_nogada2090tbh I think that’s an excuse, he was enthusiastic about putting it out until the ugly breakup with the woman from the Staves who it’s written about

[@mallisat]

True, you don't make a song "not good enough" close out the festival you created

[@PierLofrano]

This guy name Justin is what music was waiting since the days of earth conception. He is the personification of genuine talent, passion, happiness, deepness, friendship. I'm happy to be born in his days!

[@mutsa_]

You and me both friend!

[@jules0016]

Damn right. I discovered him 3 years ago and he became my favorite artist of all time a few weeks later.

[@YPVISA]

absolutely fantastic - never ever heard this song, beautiful!

[@alexgunhus624]

Greatest Musician on the Planet bar none! I'd like to echo what someone said in a prior post, I will remember this night forever. Ty Mr Vernon for your immense power and with it your humility! I will be returning to the river this upcoming year and I can only pray that Bon Iver will grace us with their presence again!

[@reallyheavypen]

Glad I got to see this with my own eyes and ears. The greatest thing I have ever seen live.

[@MrBogus213]

The chills I get from the video tells me that I probably would have been weeping openly during this performance.

[@pianopete341]

Get this song on an album already, please

[@chloelee8147]

The fist pump at the end❤️

[@sharonjohnson6273]

I went to UWEC and saw Justin's first band, Mt. Vernon, and knew he could do some great things... I miss EC so much and hearing his music makes me feel a bit less home sick. Great audio too! I truly hope that they record this song and maybe get another album out. Love this band!

[@WARFLUXX]

SO amazing. You can hear certain elements from this track that was applied to the tracks that did make the album

[@josaphatsudjono2112]

justin always making something new. pure talent

[@johnnielsen6796]

Still sad this one didn't make it on the record.

[@paypiggrandson233]

Just wait for this next one, it'll be there.

[@johanng2076]

Please God let this be on the new album

[@lordxepa8190]

[@halt.halt.halt.]

Calebe Xepa on Twitter Justin confirmed it was coming though. Some time in the near or not so near future. Probably as a single.

Seriously, what an awesome performance. Wish I was there to witness for myself. Thanks for filming!

It leaked, by the way. There’s a recording they attempted for I,I floating around out there and it’s magnificent

[@galengodbey6511]

fantastic. i kicked myself for not filming this too.

[@michaelchidgey7352]

but when will the release come ):

[@PickleRick849]

PLAY IN DALLAS NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nicholaspasse9992]

The other new song from the Eaux Claires 2015 Bon Iver show now has a name - "666". Did this song make it to the album? I thought this was the better song of the two. Adding the Staves to almost anything he does has been great. Thanks.

[@StudioScarecrow]

It didn't make it on the album but it's going to be released as a stand-alone single at some point in the future. It's called 89.

[@Mak933]

@@StudioScarecrow It did make it to the album, "22, A Million." "89" did not.

[@kegelcramp]

I swear I'm hearing a double base from the drummers, and one of them is killing a symbol. Love it!

[@jacquesfantastique]

What’s it a symbol of?

[@tomassanchez535]

It's quite strange, he is able to express feelings that were never ment to have this kind of expression

[@1984therocker]

Justin said he's working on releasing it but isn't sure what version. But it is coming at some point in 2020.

[@matthewanthony5445]

is it?

[@1984therocker]

@@matthewanthony5445 His projection earlier this year was hopefully to release it in 2020. But we've had like 10+ new songs that heavily feature him this year, not to mention 2 new Bon songs, so I'm not complaining.

[@1984therocker]

UPDATE: He says it's not good enough and he's taking a big break. Not sure what that means exactly. It's on his personal Twitter.

[@matthewanthony5445]

@@1984therocker Thanks for the reply man! That's for the best I think, if it's not ready then I'm happy to wait. Do you know of any other projects he's been on? It's hard to keep up with all his collabs!

[@1984therocker]

@@matthewanthony5445 So many to name. New Japanese House, Jim E Stack, T-swift, CARM...So so many

[@harleybigger5031]

When is he going to release this as a studio recording? Ahh im getting frustrated!! Come on Justin!!! We need more!!

[@landsend3417]

Harley Bigger idk but keep me posted if you hear anything.

[@1984therocker]

He confirmed in January 2018 that it was coming... Soon...

[@halt.halt.halt.]

It’s said to be released in the upcoming year 🔥

[@danielpinheiro7261]

Ik right. Justin where you at tho. He did tweet it would come out in the “next calendar year tho”

[@arielmacho2533]

What is the name of this song?

[@schw0818]

Ariel Macho I don't think it has a title yet. None that I am aware of at least.

[@StudioScarecrow]

We now know it to be called 89

[@StudioScarecrow]

Vojta K. Justin confirmed it on twitter. There's a lot of speculation that it will be released as a stand-alone single or b-side soon

[@ZachStegall]

sweet!

[@VSHawkins]

Curious about this speculation. Any way I can see some literature on this?

[@LongTim-]
