Ross Gay - Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude with Bon Iver

"Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude" by Ross Gay with Bon Iver, out now on Jagjaguwar.
STREAM / BUY: rossgay.ffm.to...
The story of Jagjaguwar is not about individuals or specific founders/history; it is about the worlds they build, often sharing and collaborating, creating art and community. Jagjaguwar was founded on that ethos, a set of principles that fosters artists' worldbuilding, and supports our many wizards as they create, interact, and grow.
Over the course of the year, JAG25 will feature unique works and collaborations from a sprawling list of artists -- many from outside the known family of Jagjaguwar artist partners, and many from other mediums. Join us as we reveal even more features of Jagjaguwar’s world, as we celebrate a quarter century of Jagjaguwar, and give thanks for the new one in the air.

It should be illegal for KZbin to put ads in the middle of this.

[@natalieanneforman]

omg yes

[@danieljwinn]

What happened to the gratitude? 😂

[@JUJU13392]

I wept and I wept and I wept. If this isn't most goddamn beautiful thing I've heard.

[@thejesuschrist]

Glorious!

I love that Christ is a Bon Iver fan

Thanks for holding back the Rapture so I could have time to listen to this.

[@reclaimartistcollective6771]

I will never forget as I sat with the brilliant poet, Mrs. Marian Dornell, around age 75 at the time, on the campus of Dickinson College one brisk November, listening to Ross read this poem, trying not to giggle as Miss Marian whispered, "Thank you for being so fine..." LOL {~Maria James-Thiaw}

[@lilindigestion]

My god. I am so happy this exists.

[@TravisRiver]

Thank you, Ross Gay, Bon Iver, and every person whose labor and love and sweat went in to producing this video.

[@usernamegoeshere999]

The part about waking up singing Thank You after his father came to him in a dream. I'm weeping

[@isabellatufano8049]

my friends and i got stoned and watched this and i do not remember blinking for the entire video, got us all on the same wavelength

[@aprilknopp]

Stop making me cry, Ross! No don’t! I love your big, raw heart and this old world. You just made it new for me, this world, and now I know what to do. So THANK YOU for that. Much love.

[@michaelz-c4178]

Fuck, even the comments on this video make cry. Thank you

[@RGale60]

Made me cry. 🥲💯

[@D-blaze]

Every damn time. 🙌

[@akoyaahime]

While listening to this, my leg, which is always moving because of anxiety, stopped for a few minutes. I can't remember the last time that happened. Thank you.

[@bullbeestrog5349]

This encapsulates the bipolarity of events we suffer through and celebrate. The murder of a friend can be celebrated by noticing how new life is born every day. There is ALWAYS something to be grateful for, even in the darkest of times. Thank you Ross, Justin, and the whole BI crew for this. Brought me to tears almost instantly.

[@ericdeines5130]

get ready for some goddamn poetry

[@SannaKartau]

Deeply deeply deeply deeply deeply deeply moved. I put my hands together to say... thank you. I put my hands on my heart to say... thank you.

[@matt-be8lc]

This is incredible..to think it just showed up on my discover weekly...

[@flagwhite8471]

This is simply beautiful. Sitting at my desk at work crying. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I will remember to be more grateful and appreciate even the little things.

[@jamaicachu]

this may be the most beautiful and inspiring piece of art I’ve ever experienced. thank you

[@JacobRMotion]

I cant listen to this without bawling anymore. The experiences in my life that deserve a thank you are numerous. I can only hope that I carry some gratitude forward for everything and everyone after hearing this.

[@cookwithjazz3303]

I heard this for the first time today and was transported to the seventh spoken word heaven, just briefly. So much bliss, I want to wake up every morning like this. Thank you, every day.

[@seanhand3008]

"Thank you what does not scare her in me, but makes her reach my way". Wow, truly wow.

[@jenwewers1766]

This has become my morning invocation - welcoming all of life and giving thanks for how exquisite it is.

[@leofreaking]

This is just freakin' gorgeous! I just can't stop listening to it. And just because when I first heard it, his voice reminded me of Pete Holmes, I would love for Pete to somehow cover this 😅

[@saahwn1871]

this really transported me to another planet

[@kyledimick8408]

This poem has inspired me to show more gratitude in my life. I love this so much.

[@kitfrost9297]

Yea to Ross Gay...he is back; having thrived in his World of mindful appreciation of all those little things and, describing them with an articulate picture...he is staid, he lives on in our minds and redirects our attention to what is important; just in time, everlasting, we should hope ...

[@florenceensilence]

Exactly what I needed right now, just to feel the joy of life in all of its complexities put into words&music. Thank you.

[@MattieCooper10000]

Thank you for making me cry. I can't stop for very long. Thank you.

Amazing piece and performance, was sent here not knowing what to expect but I'm glad I got to hear it out, appreciate everyone's work on this!

[@stillsane3327]

Incredible

[@stephaniejefferson6566]

ODDLY ENOUGH, I Did not dig this as much as I certainly was bracing myself for when I saw one of my very favorite pieces by one of my very favorite poets ... I think it was the visuals, too much, maybe ... OR the way the words slammed on the screen a few at a time every couple of seconds ... (that’s it, the loud aggressive font) detracting from the mesmerizing lilt and purr of Ross’s delivery. Every-time I’ve heard Ross recite this piece ... or I read it (with his voice and cadence in my head), I well up and cry, I think maybe more each time, even now, these many years on, knowing the ground “we” are going to cover ... well, there, I’ve added my critique... I so dearly love this piece, ... is jarring (to me) to have MORE stimuli added to it. THAT, I think, is all I am really saying.

31/08/2022: ashmead's kernel, lemon balm, scarlet runner, fever few, false indigo, knit bone, sweet grass. Fiona and I went at it again yesterday, and it end with kneeling and sorry and gratitude. My body aches so completely as I write this, but I, too, am grateful. zinnia.

[@michaelz-c4178]

31/05/2023: I'm in Stratford writing this, my first trip for the magazine I started. the same one that ended with this poem in Issue 10. Thank you, Ross, for your time. That issue was nominated for best arts magazine in the country, there's a gala this Friday that I'll attending. I won't make a face when they don't call our name. Anyways, this month has been horrible, truly. But them's the breaks.

[@headstashmusic3897]

Just a comment to the video maker.: Ross Gays pronunciation is so clear these flashing bold words are totally unnecessary, and actually kind of kill the vibe of the video.
