Bon Iver - Flume (Myspace Transmissions)

[@brendantaylor3570]

What he did with "For Emma," the songs, texture, atmosphere is what many artists try and fail to do, it's why you try to create period. He created a feeling and a world so vivid and layered that it feels like you're entering a forbidden place, it's so familiar and yet private that it washes over you. For Emma for me is candles burning out, watery paintbrushes, half moons, rolling highway sounds...direct stillness. For Emma is an in between place, it's college and loving someone, and the pain of knowing that I can't replace the warmth of memories. It's old stereos, cigarette smoke around twilight, shadows on snowbanks, staying in bed with someone for days without missing anything. Knowing I can't hold onto anything. This world he created envelops the listener. I feel caught inside this world when I listen, this "place" he created. He captured profound emotion through sound and production and turned his inner landscape into a world. Not trying to sound grandiose here, but I feel like this is why we bother to keep listening, and will keep bothering to listen to this album as long as there are ears and music.

[@brendantaylor3570]

Oxiers Thanks for the input.

[@melinartmx]

This album... it doesn't matter if I'm happy or sad, For emma always fits.

[@tsepangmalephane5427]

Bruv... Right👀I thought I was the only one.. Or like in some kind of low-key in denial kind of depression 😂🙌🏾🤷🏾‍♂️... This album and this song makes me feel good regardless 🙌🏾

[@anonymouslyunknown4811]

Real

[@Nevertrustabaldbarber]

to those of you who are curious. that thing he is touching to the string is called an ebow. (electronic bow) it causes electro-magnetic vibrations through the string. similar to the way a traditional bow causes vibrations to resonate the string

[@samibachir4889]

THANK YOU -- I was literally on the hunt for this specific rendition of Flume wondering "hey what's that thing that made the guitar go oooOOOOOOO"

[@LouisSampinsMusic]

I never thought i would witness perfection until i discovered bon iver

[@odachristoffersen6060]

I love this song. I love this album. I LOVE THIS BAND!! After so many years I am not tired at all of listening to For Emma, Forever Ago. That's a sign you've found the perfect album. I will listen to this until I die.

[@K9Mike]

+Oda Christoffersen ~ I could not have said it better...7 years later

[@Achayanrapper]

3:09 - "Okay guys, just do random stuff, have fun, knock yourself out."

[@scarym0nster]

This version is so utterly beautiful, I am so glad I found it.

[@thewritething]

[@BrittyRaen]

[@kayleighhamilton8459]

My fave man in the whole world..If you don't consider this talent I don't know what is.Language to the soul ♥

[@markbaker3988]

Justin Vernon never ceases to amaze me. One of the most talented musicians on the planet without a doubt

[@succulentyams]

I can't listen to this song enough, and this version is so warm & pure. Great post

[@TheWeirdd]

this is the sound of everything good in life..

[@deadkey]

Man, that is real music. four humans, everyone with a different instument, creating something beautiful.

[@dirkwdevos]

Hauntingly beautiful music that gets under your skin! Brilliant!

[@Danger12233]

Shivers!! That was absolutely beautiful!

[@KenArchibeque]

favorite rendition of the song ❤

[@edenonsale]

I made the mistake of watching this video while high. It's just too good to be true. It's bliss... Heaven.

[@brandencriner]

Myspace introduced me to Bon Iver. Good stuff.

[@roryobrien3947]

that tone he gets out of that gretsch. holy fuck

[@akaenteng2895]

I will forever love the break where they play almost anything. And then they go back to synch up like a great release. Such a great song and performance

[@AlexHumphreysMusic]

That instrumental breakdown, too perfect.

[@misslucilleraglus]

this is so so so amazing.. i cant even imagine how people can make thes enoises

[@Iucy]

this song leaves me totally stunned. just wonderful

[@MrGuineapiggamer]

The note at end xx 😱😱😱😱 makes me wanna cry

[@rossmorris]

incredible, amazing and just.... incredible!

[@timwatley4793]

4:24 the song killed him.

[@dalmerful]

kkkkkkk R.I.P justin vernom

[@cameronlittlemusic]

These guys are on another level. Great music.

[@FabberJaxxer]

A thing of beauty, this is.

[@MarcusPdodger]

This band knows how to play real, from the heart, music!

[@xstrdn]

I'm torn. I don't know which one's better, the original or this one. I fell in love with both.

[@kenneld]

a true soul singer.

[@SpringSweet1213]

This band has changed my life.

[@benalberti]

something about his music... just... its indescribable... pure genious

[@RevengeOfTheMojoWire]

Wow, tasteful use of an E-Bow is something of a first for popular music! Superb.

[@thegoodnewskids]

This song warms me, such beauty.

[@dpatrickwalsh]

The quiet ease with which Bon Iver recreate the simple beauty of their studio album makes it seem like any one could grab some friends, guitars, and a few racks of old recording gear and make a great record. If only it really were as easy as that.

[@alexcrayfish]

Man, I wish I was back in 2008. Love and Lust and life.

[@harryspeace6316]

This song is so magic to me

[@thejokesonyou16]

the dynamics of this song is crazy! I haven't heard anything like this before!

[@SoMusic15]

i think these myspace transmissions are actually better than the album version, to be frank. stunning performance!

[@HHD87]

wow. It's amazing the passion he puts in it. Come To Argentina!!! (It's always nice to dream :P)

[@AttojFreak]

Watched this video while tripping on shrooms for my first time. Absolutely life changing. Beautiful Song!

[@xapulescado]

Beautiful!

[@spotieotie]

Beautiful.

[@michaelschwartz9971]

This suspends me in space and blows my senses gently

[@ViaChicago3441]

stunning

[@thyten]

That's an Ebow. They're really cool, it uses a battery powered magnet to vibrate the string. Definitely recommend trying one out some time. They sound amazing w/ a little reverb and delay!

[@jgonsalk]

Me too. One of the greatest things ever to happen.

[@livexgold]

@ColbyFoote so glad other people feel this way. Any time people bring up artists like Lady Gaga, and kesha, I literally say, "Oh god... don't get me started." Straight up makes me mad.

[@443556jack]

that was the most amazing thing I've ever seen :'O

[@gnic120]

@Isaidveto it will be, i saw him the other night. a must see show for sure, you will not regret it at all. such an amazing voice

[@lsg5us]

@Guitardene It's called ebow...really adds to this song beautifully. Apparently works by an electromagnetic circuit that senses the vibration of the string, and then creates a magnetic field that propogates the string vibration at the same frequency, producing a smooth, eerie feedback.

[@rayray69882008]

you tube really needs to put in a love button.

[@MBungle]

ngl that brought a tear to my eyes

[@happytrigger4233]

God bless the woman who broke his heart...

[@Prophecy23JC]

Wow... Just .. wow.

[@GerardoPetrikowski]

Ah! Beautiful!

[@jmonstuh]

I listen to this song atleast 3 times a day, if not more.

[@stefanandersson1614]

I love this!!!

[@chiffthegreat]

@ColbyFoote that has to be the most truthful statement. Bon Iver is pure talent.

[@krisicism1392]

I am my mother's only one It's enough I wear my garment so it shows Now you know Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon I am my mother on the wall With us all I move in water, shore to shore Nothing's more Only love is all maroon Lapping lakes like leery loons Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse Only love is all maroon Gluey feathers on a flume Sky is womb and she's the moon

[@Zeek001]

its called an e-bow if i am not mistaken, i was close to buying one at a time but i don't think i would have ever really had a use for it especially with the music my band played. i think it works by producing a magnetic field which causes the string to vibrate without anything touching it. they are pretty wickedly cool if used correctly in the right setting like in this perfomance

[@tanekaio]

1:10 - 1:18. wow.

[@kceylee]

viscerally sobbing.

[@TimmieVD]

the song is floating!

[@GeroFerch1]

awesome , i love so much that song , his from argentina , you have to come here , justin vernon

[@nitrorichmond230]

Love it

[@bottigaleriagmail]

When are you coming to Argentine?!!! When??!! We really want to see you here!

[@joaorgpires]

goosebumps.

[@AlexSurfECS]

Justin has an amazing voice

[@rsulrich13]

Holy shit. Incredible.

[@Exoteric01]

@slitheringinterstate I think you and me were cut from the same cloth thi song blows my mind

[@RICOSHAB]

...laura is absolutely amazing. i love you ;)

[@charliejackson9803]

best version of this song

[@RogerKaputnik]

Astonishing...

[@Arbo3000]

great performance! does anybody know these guitars especially the singers one. I wanna have them!

[@smurfswine7463]

This guy could sing "Into the the west" and nobody would know the difference :) he's got a wonderful voice

[@metalmaniac767]

@youngaikidoka and when he found out he decided to still leave it out because Hiver reminded him too much of liver which is where his illness was at the time; or so I read.

[@humanze]

@slitheringinterstate I couldn't agree more with your comment. If you're not already a fan, you would really like Great Lake Swimmers.

[@pompomsousleau]

Perfect

[@thejokesonyou16]

@stvnhws It was not nonsense. It was a perfectly rehearsed explaination of Winter.

[@flachtsix]

this version makes me FEEL so much more

[@sims2sims2345]

I love how ambient they make it. So beautiful

[@jamwithme1000]

@xbax23 its called an E-bow, they are pretty cool

[@nickrandles1102]

I love how his band has always looked like Tim and Eric extras.

[@asdfgbirds]

Im in heaven.

[@soromoc]

@kingdomkey5362 it's an e-bow (electric bow)

[@sumpplrjststupid]

@jesseinpain i think thats sean carey. look at the a cappella version of for emma if you havent you'll like it

[@blakegreendev]

uhhhhhh mazing!

[@rasmidatta]

[@ajdelanger]

[@yavuz6661]

Thank you quietwiser

[@HellsMascot]

Haha, there's actually an E-bow in this song.

[@eliz0x]

Amazing amazing amazing. So fucking amazing.

[@cmerenuge]

@bLackmarketRadio I think you could definitely hit that falsetto then hehe

[@eduardocavassini]

It's impossible to don't like it!

[@hany259]

oh my god..this is fucking beautiful

[@Arbo3000]

@johnielsen08 Thank you! i will watch out for reverend guitars

[@akaenteng2895]

I can't get over this track. Ooof For Emma hurts like for real.
