"I hold the note you wrote and know you've buried all your alimony butterflies" No fucking clue what that means but god damn is it beautiful. I get chills
The way he writes songs is he sings incoherent lyrics to whatever he's playing and then later goes back and makes them into words. So he does it by feeling first, logic after
@@bloodbanks he's plays melodies and chords on a guitar. Sings nonsense lyrics that "sound" good and in a "good" melodic tone. Literal gibberish. Then when the song is taking its shape he goes back and listens to the gibberish he's singing and swaps it for words that sound just like it. It's more on the creative side than actually sitting down to specifically write lyrics. He does this with a lot of his songs and that's why a crap ton of his lyrics don't make alot of sense. He spoke on it in an interview article ages ago when describing how he wrote Emma forever ago I can't find it right now but it's not hard to find just Google it.
The whole album, but especially '29 #Strafford APTS' and '00000 Million' give me this one of a kind feeling. Not dreary, not uplifting, but rather that I'm coming to terms with my depression. It's not the light at the end of the tunnel, but maybe the way to get there. Then again, that's probably how Justin felt when writing this album. A masterpiece.
Nicole Eggenberger this whole album is great. I like to think of their eponymous album as the morning, then this album is the dusk, and for Emma forever ago is the night. Thematically this album doesn't feel as light and celebratory as "Bon Iver" but not as dark and sad as "For Emma, Forever Ago." It's somewhere in between.
I agree. That's actually the spot that I listen to the most however I wish you didn't do the distortion on there so I could hear it clearly. I understand where he was going for but.....
I almost cried. There are few artists that give me this feeling of nostalgic longing for an experience, or experiences, that I haven't even encountered before. I can't help but imagine the idea of walking along a lonely Vermont road on a crisp autumn morning. I haven't even been to the USA!
I find it interesting that you say that. I love this song but I dislike that treatment to the audio there that sounds like your speakers are cracking/blown. Obviously the mixing in this album is super weird and unique but I just find that part to be a bad choice.
People who complain about this not being typical Bon Iver obviously haven't heard his work with James Blake, Kanye, Francis and the Lights, or Volcano Choir, which is everything he has done in the past five years. I don't understand how this "doesn't sound like him." Have you been avoiding his music this long?
I agree with you completely, but I think what these people mean is that most of those collaborations and projects were as Justin Vernon, and not as Bon Iver. Bon Iver is more typically slow guitars, high pitched voice and love songs. This album, however was different. I think that is what people mean when they say this isn't typical Bon Iver. It sure as hell is Justin Vernon and reminds me alot of his collabs with the artists you mentioned and Volcano Choir, but it isn't 'typical' Bon Iver, or atleast similar to the past two Bon Iver albums. Still absolutely amazing though.
This song, and the entire 22, Million album has many elements from previous Bon Iver albums, from the down tempo, guitar picking, his vocals in head voice and falsetto, the terrific saxophone section, et al. It's all beautiful, well written, well played, inspiringly fresh while still familiar.
What makes Justins music so special for me is that his music can make me cry, cheer me up or just completely relax me at the same time. He Truly is a one of a kind musician

This song makes me envision myself like I'm in my mid-life, sitting on a couch - that scenario when you're feeling a sense of accomplishment recollecting your hardships and victors while watching my really wrinkled parents play with their grandchildren, while my wife is smiling right at them, at a small brick house, with a sunlight-lit house with a grass field outside.
I wasn’t crazy about this album when I first listened to it but man has it grown on me the last year. Seeing it live is an amazing experience, very different. This is spiritual music, it nourishes the soul - Bon Iver helps me to connect with something infinite, strong and unfathomably beautiful within myself.
It's funny because I like his music so much that I don't really even care what he's saying. His compositions are beautiful. But then I read the lyrics and they are so deep, meaningful, and beautiful that I'm amazed again. Bon Iver is definitely my favorite artist. This album took a few listens to get used to, but I HAVE to listen to it start to finish about 2-3 times whenever I listen to it. This is an amazing project.
The subtle jerky swell of the bass at 1:29 while the birds are flying is stunningly beautiful. The combination of the two gives me the most intense awestruck feeling. This album is fantastic.
ZimmerSquash the vocal instrument can sort of be traced back to his song Woods. From his 2009 blood bank ep. This all seems like an extension of that style. And I love it, though it definitely took me some time to get used to
@@brynshanahan7292 Vernon's intentions to manipulate vocals in such a way came from Blood Bank, whereas on this album it's Chris Messina's modified Vocoder. They actually made an instrument for this, it's called the Messina.
I have had this song on repeat today for some reason. It hits something inside of me that I haven't felt in so long. A sense of comfort. But a confused comfort. Like I've never been here before but I have been here a million times. Deja Vu. A sense of separation and togetherness. The fine line between opposites where it all makes sense. The last breath before the plunge.
what in names sakke have you done!!!!! this album is like the earth gave birth to a new baby earth and we all shall take care of it with all the love and wisdom of the universe again!!!
3:25 to 3:50 makes me feel some kind of feelings that are hard to explain, it's like an influx of joy, love, sadness, creativity, depression, and all that is life. Thankyou, Bon Iver :)
I know what you mean - I kinda felt the same but I still bought it (on vinyl!) because I fanboy over Bon Iver. I think 33 GOD, Over Soon, and 666 (as well as this) are great although sometimes the kinda "glitchy" / electronic bits are a bit much for me too.
Felt the same feeling 8 years ago when I first discovered the music of Pink Floyd. (I'm 22 now) This isn't just about melodies and rhytms, this is innovative poetry which keeps you thinking and gives you feels you never felt but at the same time feel so familiar and safe.
This is the best blend of electronica and folk I've ever heard. Each bar is a complete transition from the last. He must of fiddled and toiled with the knobs forever to get this perfect folk-synth sound. Such a clear mix too, so beautiful. He's come so far from skinny love.
Best song on the album by far! Gives me that beautiful enchanted melancholy that leaves nothing but a smile on your face and a kind, lingering nostalgia
This might be my new favorite song ever. It's so mesmerising and nostalgic, it really feels like it represents growing up and life in general. Great music video too!
Nella mia vita esiste un prima e dopo Bon Iver... quando l'ho scoperto tramite questa canzone a fine 2016 ho sentito un qualcosa di nuovo, genuino E mi ha cambiato letteralmente la vita Grazie mille.
And Not a lot of people know that James Blake inspired Justin and the band..it's Blake infusion all the way...I hope they make a full album in collaboration..The best Indie talents in the industry....not even the mainstream pop can touch Blake and Vernon...
I can't get over how uplifting and nostalgic the melody and string section that comes in at 0:37 is, it's such a treat for the ears! That little bit reminds me of 'Michael Kiwanuka - Rest'
This song is so uplifting and beautiful but at the same time it makes me feel depressed cause so few people can ever possess this level of originality mixed with this quality of songwriting talent and technical mastery
3:26-3:47 This part really makes me realize what beautiful things humanity can do. If god somehow exists than in such Form that he gave us the power to create such things.
People who expect artists to keep sounding like they did on the last LP are simply not worth of the Art. You guys don't get it. Music is not entertainment it's art and art challenges you and gives you something you did not have before. Be open minded or leave, everything else is just not ok.
The pretentious part is saying some people are not worthy of the album and capitalizing "the Art". Even if they are somewhat right, it's a very pretentious way to say it.
In case you're stupid like me, here are the lyrics. Make sure to appreciate the visuals too. Sharing smoke In the stair up off the hot car lot Sun shine hard on the video spot Hm, mm, mm, mm Sure as any living dream It's not all then what it seems And the whole thing's hauled away A womb An empty robe Enough You're rolling up You're holding it You're fabric now Paramind Paramind Hallucinating Claire Nor the snow shoe light or the autumns Threw the meaning out the door (Now could you be a friend) There's no meaning anymore (Come and kiss me here again) A womb An empty robe Enough You're rolling up You're holding it You're bent prize Canonize Canonize Motor up and yeah, you're own, ooh And yeah, you're on your own, ooh (Marijuana has you talking) Fold the map and mend the gap And I tow the word companion And I make my self escape Oh, the multitude of other It comes always off the page I hold the note You wrote and know You've buried all your alimony butterflies Sub find Some night
The people who hate on this album are probably the same people that think/thought that "Kid A" was shit. JV has always been experimental (think of how different Bon Iver, Bon Iver was compared to For Emma), this is just the next step. Brilliant album from beginning to end.
I absolutely love this song, as the new album shows a new side of Justin that i am just digging so much, this song is just a nice tip of the hat to his original style without killing the vibe of the album.
The Gilb i first heard this song, and this band on public radio, and I thought, I don't know if I like this or it's pure unadulterated genius. Thank heavens the DJ said who it was at the end, because it's definitely genius. What I love about music is that when you think you've found the best you're going to find, and start getting a bit bored with it, you find this.
That feeling your feeling is called dissonance. The harmonic dissonance, rattles your psyche into an elevated state, one from where you can see yourself and your world around you.
Vintage Bon Iver. This song is easily one of my favorites on this album (second only to 666) because it's the ultimate combination of new Bon Iver and old Bon Iver. Remember when he could make you happy and sad at the same time with a guitar and nothing else? Well the game's changed and I'm all for it. I like it a lot more than I thought I would at first.
My favourite bit is the melody on "paramind" and "canonize", it sounds so peaceful, happy and sad all at once. I've watched quite a few live performances, and he never seems to do it live.
This section has such an overwhelming retro, 30s-50s feel for me. This chord sequence is reminiscent of something I may have heard in an old, old movie. Something from a simpler and at the same time more complicated time.
This is such a beautiful song. If anyone knows any other songs that give a similar vibe please tell them to me. Songs like this make me feel whole again for a few minutes.
Justin Vernon is so under appreciated. Who else writes such poetic, abstract lyrics as this? Really asking because I’d love to find more artists like this. I’ve never heard an artist write/sing so poetically. He’s light years ahead in touching, human emotions.
Am listening to this song for the the first time ,and I swear am trying to hold back my tears coz am in public, the song has touched my soul so much that it’s making me cry .wow 😫😫
I'm so happy that even though they are moving into a new direction as artists, that they have put this song on the album. It's so beautiful, reminds me of the old albums..
Just now getting into bon Iver and rreally, I'm blown away....so psychedelic and bittersweet, this video helps me realize not to listen if I'm tripping nuts...dope song and vid
Bon Iver music isn't necessarily about making sense in the conventional meaning, it's more about how it makes you feel when you listen and that feeling is all the sense you need. When I listen I feel a sense of comfort

oh shit nicole, that gave me goosebumps here in germany
3:25 - 3:35.....it just cuts through your soul. Man I love Bon lver.
I agree. That's actually the spot that I listen to the most however I wish you didn't do the distortion on there so I could hear it clearly. I understand where he was going for but.....
Taoist Kung Fu Training Academy I love the distortion. I think it adds something really special. Just my opinion tho
I agree it does! But there's a part of my that secretly wants to hear it clean
That part made me search for this song on UA-cam and vibe a little with the comments
@@taoistkungfutrainingacadem2061 Distortions only coming back in music look at Playboi Cartis music or Hyperpop
I almost cried.

me too
@@stckyfngr9407 for me ben howard does too
Fleetmac Wood
Yeah! Well you should come and see him live in concert.
3:26-3:47 I CAN LISTEN TO THIS PART OVER AND OVER!

I listen to the whole song just waiting for this part the distortion just makes it fucking awesoem
Rafael Romero kinda reminds me of ragtime. I really like it

Holy shit this album is aging like a good wine 🍷
Tyler Hayden for me this song is gut-wrenching now more than before

macaronnieyatco thank you for this.
Awww
the funny part is that's the opposite of what this song is about lol
it can be summed up as "i can't go home because it doesn't exist anymore"
I wasn’t crazy about this album when I first listened to it but man has it grown on me the last year. Seeing it live is an amazing experience, very different.
This is spiritual music, it nourishes the soul - Bon Iver helps me to connect with something infinite, strong and unfathomably beautiful within myself.
Definitely my favourite from the album not released as a single ☺️
same here
my favourite from the album period lol
Need more videos from you Bullitain! 😧
Ja Cob be patient young one
Agreed
Easily one of the best albums of all time. I believe that Bon Iver is a top 10 band of all time.

Bon Iver's new music is like nothing I have ever heard before. Just brilliant.
the part at 3:25 gives me chills every time, just totally in love with this song
the way two vocal lines between 1:39-1:49 fill each other is a masterpiece
The vocal instrument used in Creeks is definitely heard here.
It's lovely to see digital engineering touch the natural sounds of folk.
I know right, I'm really love acoustic traditional folk, but I really like this too, it's basically folk music from the future!

I have had this song on repeat today for some reason. It hits something inside of me that I haven't felt in so long. A sense of comfort. But a confused comfort. Like I've never been here before but I have been here a million times. Deja Vu. A sense of separation and togetherness. The fine line between opposites where it all makes sense. The last breath before the plunge.
what in names sakke have you done!!!!! this album is like the earth gave birth to a new baby earth and we all shall take care of it with all the love and wisdom of the universe again!!!
This album looks like it's going to be something very very special.
😛
Aged like fine wine. Bon Iver's discography is flawless asf.
3:25 to 3:50 makes me feel some kind of feelings that are hard to explain, it's like an influx of joy, love, sadness, creativity, depression, and all that is life. Thankyou, Bon Iver :)
Love you so much! Thank you for having such an impact on my life.
Probably my favorite one so far!
if the rest of the album was a bit more like this i might actually want to buy it .
Matthew Nash it's worth it just for this track and 00000 Million tbh
Listen to 33 "GOD", 715 CREEKS, 8 (circle), etc.
666 is nice too.
I know what you mean - I kinda felt the same but I still bought it (on vinyl!) because I fanboy over Bon Iver. I think 33 GOD, Over Soon, and 666 (as well as this) are great although sometimes the kinda "glitchy" / electronic bits are a bit much for me too.
N May Deathbreast and Circle too! The only ones I don't really care for 21 MOON WATER and ____45_____.
this album, it's way ahead of it's time and contemporaries. almost 1.2 years and still fucking digging it. people will know, someday
Felt the same feeling 8 years ago when I first discovered the music of Pink Floyd. (I'm 22 now) This isn't just about melodies and rhytms, this is innovative poetry which keeps you thinking and gives you feels you never felt but at the same time feel so familiar and safe.
this song makes me feel like everything I've ever listened to is utter shit
That's sad
"liked videos: coldplay"
makes sense
Ava M nailed it
Ava M you must have never heard anything good then.
coldplays first album was awesome. since 2011, theyre bad, I know, but the old Coldplay is legendary.
Such a beautiful song. It's even more stunning live. It's more "country" live. Great song off a magnificent album.
This guy would have really fit in around the late 60's and early 70's.
So deeply in love with this song! Perfection!! My 15 month old son loves it to. Together we dance to it.
This is the best blend of electronica and folk I've ever heard. Each bar is a complete transition from the last. He must of fiddled and toiled with the knobs forever to get this perfect folk-synth sound. Such a clear mix too, so beautiful. He's come so far from skinny love.
I see why Charlie thought this song fits Looking for Alaska.

this is quite possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
It's kind of insanely beautiful.
I feel like Justin Vernon has found clarity in what he wants, and what completes him.... I'm happy for him. Go Justin fly
I absolutely love this album, I haven't stopped listening to it. It went straight to the top of my all time favourites
I'm absolutely in love with the chord progressions with the saxophone throughout the song. You can literally feel the music soar with that sax...
There's so many people on here who don't realize HE inspired Kanye.
THANK YOU I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS!!!!!!!
They inspired each other
And Not a lot of people know that James Blake inspired Justin and the band..it's Blake infusion all the way...I hope they make a full album in collaboration..The best Indie talents in the industry....not even the mainstream pop can touch Blake and Vernon...
You people act like Justin has been making this type of music since 2007.
Jerry Leganker how did he inspire Kanye?
Listen Bon Iver is like listen something you've never hear. This man and his music doesn't have words to express every time I listen one of his songs.
I can't get over how uplifting and nostalgic the melody and string section that comes in at 0:37 is, it's such a treat for the ears! That little bit reminds me of 'Michael Kiwanuka - Rest'
this is a perfect mix of pure, genuine songwriting and a crazy-loveable production.
My favourite visual of the album, so gorgeous my god.
Justin is a good 10+ years ahead of music. We don’t deserve an artist like him.
This song is so uplifting and beautiful but at the same time it makes me feel depressed cause so few people can ever possess this level of originality mixed with this quality of songwriting talent and technical mastery
3:26-3:47 This part really makes me realize what beautiful things humanity can do. If god somehow exists than in such Form that he gave us the power to create such things.

How did this get so many likes? You sound like any pretentious twat.
+Dominic Bennett what so saying that progression in music is natural and should be accepted counts as pretentious? That word is used so haphazardly.
The pretentious part is saying some people are not worthy of the album and capitalizing "the Art". Even if they are somewhat right, it's a very pretentious way to say it.
+Derek Rubino Ahh ok I see that now
I think Art deserves a capital A.
Think I’ve listened to this song about 60 times in the last week and I just can’t get enough of it, especially the last 20 seconds or so ♥️
In case you're stupid like me, here are the lyrics. Make sure to appreciate the visuals too.
Sharing smoke
In the stair up off the hot car lot
Sun shine hard on the video spot
Hm, mm, mm, mm
Sure as any living dream
It's not all then what it seems
And the whole thing's hauled away
A womb
An empty robe
Enough
You're rolling up
You're holding it
You're fabric now
Paramind
Paramind
Hallucinating Claire
Nor the snow shoe light or the autumns
Threw the meaning out the door
(Now could you be a friend)
There's no meaning anymore
(Come and kiss me here again)
A womb
An empty robe
Enough
You're rolling up
You're holding it
You're bent prize
Canonize
Canonize
Motor up and yeah, you're own, ooh
And yeah, you're on your own, ooh
(Marijuana has you talking)
Fold the map and mend the gap
And I tow the word companion
And I make my self escape
Oh, the multitude of other
It comes always off the page
I hold the note
You wrote and know
You've buried all your alimony butterflies
Sub find
Some night
thanks, some of the lyrics were hard to make out
All thats missing is (Marijuana has you talking)
I’m not a very intuitive or intellectual guy so I’ll never truly know what this song means. But I’ll always know how it makes me feel.
For me this is Justin Vernon's best work, this song is just a piece of art. I could listen to this song and never get bored of it.

Bon Iver is hardly-arguable the most important artist for me. Their music helped me through a lot of phases in my life, and this one too.
I think in coming years, this song will be looked back on as a masterpiece
That feeling your feeling is called dissonance. The harmonic dissonance, rattles your psyche into an elevated state, one from where you can see yourself and your world around you.
Vintage Bon Iver. This song is easily one of my favorites on this album (second only to 666) because it's the ultimate combination of new Bon Iver and old Bon Iver. Remember when he could make you happy and sad at the same time with a guitar and nothing else? Well the game's changed and I'm all for it. I like it a lot more than I thought I would at first.
I won't even try to begin to describe how bon iver's music makes me feel... it's out of the world, something else entirely, incomparable
This is a monster of a masterpiece. Like every single song on this album.
I'm in fucking tears.
My favourite bit is the melody on "paramind" and "canonize", it sounds so peaceful, happy and sad all at once. I've watched quite a few live performances, and he never seems to do it live.
My favourite from the new album, and this video fits it perfectly!!
Gosh what a beautiful song. The album ranges from brilliance to wtf? But this one is the jewel of the bunch
Great album with true and profound lyrics!
And to the haters, if you wanted a " bon iver" album, listen to the other albums, this is new and fresh!
Nuevo disco Bon Iver a disfrutarlo, buen comienzo de la semana
still listening to this album nonstop.
this song and 8 (circle) in particular give me a feeling like no other.
God. This is just one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
This video got rid of my headache and healed my 3rd eye some. Guys a genius
no idea what any of the lyrics mean but this song still hits me like a particle accelerator every single time
Incredible song from a true classic of an album.
Been so happy with the innovation on this record!
Red wine + Strafford = An amazing end to a great day.

i dies at the chord change @ 0:40
also at 3:03. i dies, really.
cat messing with keyboard much
This section has such an overwhelming retro, 30s-50s feel for me. This chord sequence is reminiscent of something I may have heard in an old, old movie. Something from a simpler and at the same time more complicated time.
amazing chord progressions
same, 0:40 and 3:03
This is such a beautiful song. If anyone knows any other songs that give a similar vibe please tell them to me. Songs like this make me feel whole again for a few minutes.
Try Dive, and To Care Less by Zes
Justin Vernon is so under appreciated. Who else writes such poetic, abstract lyrics as this? Really asking because I’d love to find more artists like this. I’ve never heard an artist write/sing so poetically. He’s light years ahead in touching, human emotions.

Am listening to this song for the the first time ,and I swear am trying to hold back my tears coz am in public, the song has touched my soul so much that it’s making me cry .wow 😫😫
best lyric video i've ever seen
I love everything about Bon Iver. Justin, you're so inspiring.
I'm so happy that even though they are moving into a new direction as artists, that they have put this song on the album. It's so beautiful, reminds me of the old albums..
my favorite song on the album hands down
crazy how this entire song brings out so much emotion
Just now getting into bon Iver and rreally, I'm blown away....so psychedelic and bittersweet, this video helps me realize not to listen if I'm tripping nuts...dope song and vid
Bon Iver music isn't necessarily about making sense in the conventional meaning, it's more about how it makes you feel when you listen and that feeling is all the sense you need. When I listen I feel a sense of comfort
Absolute gem here! very difficult to find this one, I have been searching for years.
The static at 3:28 is such an amazing contribution to this song. I don't know how but wow I love it
singer's voice starts breaking down bc he can't accept the reality of his divorce (alimony butterflies)
lol I thought it was my headphones I went through like 3 just to find out it was intentional
Simply amazing. Fantastic video as well.
The Dude shroomy song 4 sure
Amazing song, amazing album!! Songs to listen when you're stoned!
Beautiful! No idea what you're going on about Bon, not a clue! But it is beautiful!
I love the visuals chosen for these lyric videos. Mash ups between the real and surreal.
