I was driving home after talking to a guy I met in the spring of 2011 when we were both about to turn 20. We'd hung out a good bit that summer, and I remember one afternoon, after talking to him all day, I was driving the 50 mile ride home and realized I loved him (and that he was the first person I'd ever truly loved). This song had just come on the radio because the album was debuting, and it played with the windows rolled down and the smell of grass and honeysuckle coming through as these new emotions swirled in my chest. 7 years later those opening notes still hit me like a sack of bricks and it takes me right back to my Volvo station wagon, the smell of summer, and how good it felt to have his arms around me. We never started dating, but remained friends until we fell apart from each other for a while due to life. I got engaged, broke up. He dated girls, broke up with them. Last spring we reconnected like no time had passed. We're getting married next year and I'll be walking down the aisle to this. It's the highlight on the soundtrack of my life. Thank you, Justin.
Edit: Wow, thank you all for your kind words! It's July 2021 and we're still going strong. He's the best thing that's ever happened to me. Keep your head up if you haven't found your one yet, they're out there 😁
Your story gave me goosebumps in a very very good way! Happy that love is still alive in this world... congrats for the marriage
Thank you!
That’s amazing!
Margaret, that's beautiful especially reading this whilst listening to the track. Best wishes for the future.x
i have just seen it in my mind like a movie scnene, just perfect!
The dude crying in the crowd
Salvatore Santiago, I can absolutely guarantee that would be if I got the chance to see him live.
3:29
Salvatore Santiago I was lucky enough to be there that night. And I can't explain the wave of embrace the crowd felt for that guy. I literally hugged the random gal next to me at that moment. Very appropriate for a Bon Iver feel
Pretty sure I'll cry when I see him live
I was the dude crying a couple of days ago in Utrecht. Blown away.
I still remember when this album won him the best new artist Grammy, beating out Nikki Minaj and skrillex. I laughed so hard at the other nominees reactions when he they announced it. Great album, great artist
adamantfang07 and he actually deserved that prize
Skrillex music pretty much died and feels old, but his album feels timeless
The fact that was his competition is honeslty mind blowing. He is worlds apart from them and it's just laughable to think anyone else would ever get it.
Raw Vid b no
Bon Iver is a band not a person
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
thee rieldeal, along with Thinking of A Place by The War On Drugs✌️
One of my "life songs"
Same here
Same, care to share some of the others?
Same. Others are Landslide of Fleetwood Mac and Sufjan Stevens The Only Thing,
I find it hard to come back to this song. Bad times and good. A song that will be me forever.
what are the others?
This song will always be one of "those songs" that give me the lump in the throat, and the watery eyes, and the weight on the chest. I'll never stop listening.
.you just describe it so well.. indeed
I think there should be a forum of songs that put a lump in the throat. Mine is “So Long Lonesome” by Explosions in the Sky. Cheers.
@@bigballer151 such a good one my friend.
@@bigballer151 I’ve no clue what it’s like. But I like this so much I’m gonna grab your suggestion before even giving a listen first
yeah the weight on the chest, the eyes, the shoulder..whatever.. it's about weight and void.
As pretentious as it sounds, seeing bon iver live was a spiritual experience for me. I'll never ever forget it
Andrew Brookes Same, and it was easily the best concert I’ve ever been to
spiritual what?
Me too. Saw Bon Iver at the inaugural Eaux Claires festival in 2015 and it was sublime. I remember thinking that Justin's voice sounded otherworldly. Gives me goosebumps as I type.
nothing pretentious ab it ... jealous
Andrew Brookes its not pretentious at all! Its your personal experience that no one can take away!
"And at once I knew I was not magnificent" 👌👌👌
Nearly 56 years old,love this song,reminds me of my son 😢
Miss him so much
may the lord bless you
My brother showed me this song in 2011 and he said that it reminded him of our late Father. I instantly fell in love with it (even though I didn’t understand the meaning of the lyrics) and it always would make me think of my brother for showing me this song. In March, my brother passed and when I play this song it brings me to tears every time. To my big brother, you will always be a part of me, and unfortunately apart from me..
sorry for your loss ❤️ really wish you the best
Stay strong Brother. Keep your head up!
Sorry for your loss Brennan, may this song remind you of all the special memories you have had with your family.
I'm so sorry.
The moment the camera caught that guy in the audience crying and he looked up, saw he was being recorded and laughed - then you see Justin saw it and was smiling too
Idk, it was a perfect second of connection that felt (to me) like what this song is about - all the insignificant moments that are both tiny and monumental at the same time
I was playing this song when I got into my first car wreck. I got hit… and this song was still on and playing… in that moment when it all happened and it was still playing after… I just felt like it was all going to be okay… thank you Justin.
Crying in quarantine to this performance
Its one of the only songs that completely takes me to another place, absolutely magical
Hope you're doing okay in quarantine
Just came across this song again, 8 and a half years after the guy I was dating went to see Bon Iver in concert. Almost 9 years later and I’m still with the same guy, married, and about to welcome our son into the world. Lying in bed listening to this whilst my baby is moving around in my belly has brought tears to my eyes.
I got teary eyed until I saw that guy crying and now I'm sobbing
I wanted to share a story with all you. I’m Chilean, and the first time I came upon bon iver was in 2012, with this song actually. I remember browsing through the music channels on my tv and Holocene came along. I fell in love instantly with the music. Ever since, his music has been by my side through very hard times. It’s almost impossible to describe in words the power of his music.
Anyways, I was lucky enough to travel this year to Minnesota to visit family. My uncles offered us tickets to any concert we (me and my little brother) wanted to go while we were here. We saw that Bon Iver was playing during the time we were going to be there. But the tickets were sold out. We went anyways to watch from the street. But my brother (who’s a real cheecky bastard) figured a way of getting us tickets with people who were leaving the concert. We entered through the side and walked up to almost the first row. It was truly sublime. I couldn’t believe what was happening. When Bon Iver took out the acoustic guitar and started playing the beautiful arpeggio intro of Holocene I bursted into tears. I cried the whole song. It was a dream come true. I just want to thank you Justin for your music. I’ll never forget that day.
Omg i’m chilean too!! Soy de viña del mar, escuché a Justin Vernon cuando tenía 12 años y ahora tengo 17. Me encanta, es un maestro y su música nunca deja de provocarme cosas en mi interior. Me alegro tanto no ser una de las pocas chilenas que ama a este hombre y más aún saber que fuiste a un concierto! Saludos :)
Linda historia amigo, Justin es un pedazo de artista y siempre su música me acompaña en los momentos que más solo me siento. Saludos de Valdivia.
bela historia, hermano! saludos de brasil! e vamo nos a apreciar la buena arte que ha por todo el mundo. gracias!
Sé que esto es de hace meses jajaja, pero también soy de Chile, y Bon Iver llegó a mi con el For Emma, forever ago cuando tenía 18 (mediante recomendación de Last.fm, plataforma re popular en esos años). Ahora tengo 28 y espero que con toda la ola de músicos que vienen a tocar, nos toque algún día Justin Vernon. Saludos chilenos!
And this is one of my favorite songs, it makes me sad and in love, and sad again, and happy and a lot of things haha.
Great Story, enjoy life😃
The moment when Justin realize that the guy was crying.. that was honest and warm... this is why i love live session n concert.... Love ...
Exactly!
What i really loved about that moment where the guy saw himself on the big screen while singing along, was how everyone else in the audience cheered for him despite his obvious embarrassment. It was a lovely moment for a truly awesome song!
finally got to see bon iver in milwaukee last summer and after he sang “you’re in milwaukee off your feet” the crowd cheered, we love our wisconsin boy justin vernon
The harmonies on this version are something special.
Jack Kanov yeah you don’t know how “auto tune” works then.
Jack Kanov well, for one, you conflated pitch correction with auto---tune, so there’s that. Secondly, the minor intonations of his voice aren’t being matched in the harmonies. A backing track, sure maybe. So yeah, Did I educated you?
The harmonies are live here. I assume he's singing with Sean Carey, Mike Noice and Matthew McCaughan. If you're referring to the "Messina" that they use on tracks from the new record - Vernon isn't using that here. This is obvious because Vernon has his hands full with a guitar here. The Messina is a kind of live instrument triggered through a keyboard that shifts the vocal mic live into a harmonic based on the key being played.
Jack Kanov you are conflating the two. Auto tune uses pitch correction, yes. But every recording studio in the world uses pitch correction. Does that mean every recorded band sounds like T Pain since pitch correction and auto tune are the same thing? DUMBFUCK.
Jack Kanov you said it was a “harmony box I.e. fake”
Way to change your argument instead of admitting you were wrong.
I wanna have a ride with my future husband, at night, windows rolled down, the cold wind, and this song playing 🥺♥️
👍I had this happen, but with my dog in the passenger seat, just a nice memory I'll keep with me forever
I hope you get your dream dear🥲
"At once I knew, I was not magnificent" what a line
“And at once I knew, I was not magnificent..” gets me every damn time lol
Exactly as I scrolled down to this comment he said this. And this happens to me everytime on every song on youtube. Help.
Me too Ian.
This song makes you feel things, and deeply.
[Verse 1]
"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me"
You're laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it, friend, it's on its head, it struck the street
You're in Milwaukee, off your feet
[Pre-Chorus]
And at once, I knew
I was not magnificent
[Chorus]
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
I could see for miles, miles, miles
[Verse 2]
Third and Lake, it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you'd talk for me
That night you played me "Lip Parade"
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that's enough for me
[Pre-Chorus]
And at once, I knew
I was not magnificent
[Chorus]
Hulled far from the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
I could see for miles, miles, miles
[Verse 3]
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I, and tangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now, to know it in my memory
[Pre-Chorus]
And at once, I knew
I was not magnificent
[Chorus]
High above the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Fucking love reading this comment every time i listen to this masterpiece
He touches a nerve that I didn't know existed. Just so peaceful
I really wish I could hear this song for the first time again...
I dont know why this song is very had strong emotions behind it, its like you were bringing down to the time when you are totally enjoying your life. No problems, no tears, and no mistakes. Just you walking around the park, saw the people around there. And happy.
Especially, i remembered the time when i walked out with my grandma. And now she had a better place.
My tears falls down when i listening this song again.. when the song just came out. I saw it on youtube, when my grandma cooked me some pizza...
Goodbye grandma. rest in peace.. itz been 1 years since you gone.
In 2020 I fell in love with a girl who I thought I’d marry. She also had this song playing every night I’d visit at her apartment. Even when we moved in together. This song still hits me like a freight train of old memories and emotions
I was totally the dude crying in the crowd last year in Copenhagen!!!
You know the song is good when its performed live and people actually listen to it instead of shouting all the time.
Raise your hand if this song makes you cry every time you hear it.
A masterpiece. One of those songs you don’t want a whole lot of people to know. ❤
when i find a song this good it always makes me think what other tunes am i missing out on
Agree
You most likely know it if you don't try welcome home, son
Imagine watching Bon Iver's performance in a place where this song's Music Video was recorded. What a pure bliss 😩
audi pradhana I did. It was life changing.
Lili T omg i envy you 😂
He's performed in Vik ? :O
Book a flight to Iceland, pack a tent, bike and load up Bon Iver onto your phone and go. I did and it’s life changing.
ThisIsBarcode you’ve just added to my bucket list. Going to Iceland certainly was on there already after my brother went and said it was amazing. But god, Iceland and Holocene on a late night, little light pollution, silence, maybe a cold beer, alongside pure bliss - wow.
This song was so important to me in 2011... It really helped me getting out of a dark place. I'd listen to it and think "things are gonna be ok", and they did.
And at once, I knew, I was not magnificent, is the most powerful line I’ve ever heard in my life. Have it tattooed on my back.
Life's been a struggle too hard for me. I finally fell apart in pieces after holding on so hard. Right now, right in the middle of this song, I caved in. Face soaked, head hung low and sobbing. This can't be all that is has all come down to. I gotta love myself more, I gotta serve myself better. ....I really needed this.
ray here checking in with you mate. You better?
hey mate how are you?
better now?
Thanks for reminding myself on my own advice now and again guys. You all are deserving of all the kindness in this world, if not for just to have checked in with a stranger. Bless you.
Living by a recently adopted mantra really helped me see that we are all weak and vulnerable in more ways than we choose to admit or choose to show (ourselves, and most importantly those other that matter to us). Continuing to entrench my capacity for empathy and not fall for 'first assumptions' on life, circumstances and people have been... life-changing.
The mantra? "Assume others' positive intent. Respond in kind. Have compassion."
@@rayhere7925 how's life been for you mate? Wanted to check in on a stranger :)
I think you'll find many a friend in these comments who also wish they'd love themselves just a tad bit more. I'm one of them. It's also the same reason why I love this song so much. I think the true realization of 'not being magnificent' can be confronting for some people, but to me it's one of the most liberating realizations possible. We're all just humans. Trying to make it through life. Trying to do well and wanting to be important and to matter. And in doing so, I think we often hold ourselves to unrealistic standards of being 'important' or 'grand'. Whereas in reality, it is totally fine to not be magnificent and just live a 'small', 'unimportant' life where we prioritize happiness, love, and kindness for ourselves and the people directly surrounding us.
I don't know, maybe I'm just rambling, but I've find so much solace in this song and the realization that comes with it. I hope maybe it helps you as well to be a bit more kind to yourself and I hope you're doing well, friend.
Glad to see this song made the cut of the 'old' songs he is still playing live. Wouldn't be able to stand the idea this would never be played live again... it's too big for me.
I just saw them on Thursday and it was one of the best shows I've seen in my life. To set the mood too, it rained the entire show.....and it was an outside show. Just beautiful. :)
I love the drumming in this. The straight triplet feel is great and I live how it builds up to the triplet ride pattern at around 3:05.
Bro for real, those triplet ride hits are so hard to pull off. Glad to see someone mentioned this
Amen
dude's on the far edge of our grasp of music
Me and my uncle are a big fans of Bon Iver, especially this particular song. We listened to this song everytime we were going somewhere together. I still vividly remember the feeling when this song played with him together in a car on the way up to the mountains area. Sadly, my uncle passed away due to car accident last week, and today i come accross this beautiful live set by Bon Iver. I couldnt hold my tears. This song brings back so much memories of him. Thanks Justin for this beautiful performance.
Our condolences, Adam. So glad music can bring back good memories.
My deepest condolences.
Makes me feel at peace.
2024 still my song...❤
This is amazing. How is it even possible this is better than the studio recording?! 😩😭
Maureen Adaghebalu wait til you hear Sophie Desiree sing it...
Every live version they do is better
I think live recordings often have a larger sound field that can't be reproduced in a studio. You can feel it.
This is one of the best live performances I have ever heard. Blown away by this talent.
This song paralyses me with joy and deep sorrow all at once. Immense beauty so rare.
Rest In Peace to my beautiful girl Summer, I will love you forever and ever.
"Someway, baby, it's part of me, apart from me

Huddled far from the highway aisle
Jagged vacance, thick with ice
And I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I and tangled spines

Thank you 🥲
Bon Iver is both incredibly complex and incredibly simple. It’s full of soul and craft, and I have no idea how he does it. Just sublime.
On my way to Magelang near Borobudur Temple.
I was riding on my friend's pickup car.
3 person at front seat. So I was at back, at the sleeping bag, looking at the star throughout Semarang-Magelang via tollroad.
One of the best night of my life.
Thanks for the song.
.looking at starry night sky
Suasana terbaik buat over thinking wkkw
Ujan deres kayaknya seru tuh
Listening to this song and thinking of all of the memories I’ve shared with my girlfriend, good and bad. Realizing that I wouldn’t trade any of it, realizing that she is the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with, through the good and bad. Realizing that I’m going to ask her to be my wife soon.
I'm crying. One of my favorite songs. Can not stop listening. I do not hear. I feel..It is such a special feeling inside my heart, I cannot describe. Beautiful sadness.
There's something about "Jagged vacance thick with ice" in this performance. It feels so much more sad and powerful without that last tone difference on "ice". Really puts the whole chorus in another mood. Very moving.
This version is my go-to 'going home' song after a long day and night at work..
And has got me through some pretty tough times..
When it comes on coincidentally at the right points in my life..it always..always brings me to tears..without fail.
I also never play it when other people are around..it's become..more than just a song for me..it's become a place of refuge..a place of solace that I run to whenever life gets to me..or when I remember my loved ones who have passed on..
I only listen to this version..thank you The Current..and most of all..Thank You Mr. Vernon.
Edited: 2023 about to end and I would NOT rather be anywhere else but here..home.
I come to this song and version a few times a week and not seen this comment but it sums it up both perfectly and elegantly enough i was lucky enough to go see them live a few weeks ago for the first time and was reduced to tears as soon as the beat started and i still cant describe to anyone after my millionth listen why this song is so important or magical to me truly a special piece of artistry man
@@andyhartwatp I don't think the people who get it are supposed to put it to words - I bet its written in a way where when it hits the same people at the same time - and tears start forming - we're probably meant to look at each other with a guilty smile half way wiping tears because we just..we just know you know..🥲
@@clydekaila25 the only plossible way i have of describing it is i have been lucky enough to have this piece of art cross my path it is literally the most perfect thing at the perfect time for me its crazy cos its not my fav song of theirs but its THE song its just exactly what it is to me that it is for you and that even though so different but exactly the same makes this song the greatest enjoyment of my life man shit saved my life
@@andyhartwatp Yooooo same! Time and time again!
Brilliantly put Andy Hart 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Falling my first love with Bon Iver because of this song :')
Man this version is just unreal.
Wow just wow :O
Hey man you from india?
Masterpeice. The best version. The drummer boggles my mind!
I heard this the first time on a road trip to the mountains. It was so quiet, early morning, dew and some hashish. It takes me in a trance every time I hear this song.
Most lovely trip my ears have ever been taken on. Pure life
Saw them at Forbidden Fruit in Ireland in June, this brought me to tears when it was played. Simply magical.
me too..same festival...glad it rained and nobody could see me bawling my eyes out
This track is my phone ringstone. like that, I can't forget the beauty of this title
I was meant to see Bon Iver in April this year but because of Covid it's been rearranged to November 2021. I can't wait.
Memories keep flooding in every time I hear this song. Thank you Bon Iver for creating this masterpiece. It will always have a special place in my heart.
Love the Orioles hat. I visited the American Midwest a few years ago. Never have I been treated better. I miss the forests and lakes there.
this fucking song rips my heart out every time i hear it
I don’t want this to end!
This is a gorgeous performance of this song.
I'm alive, Bon Iver remind me that again
If there are pearly gates,this will surely be playing at them.
For the genuine.. The lost and lost ones..
That guy at 3.36 melted my soul 😢💔
I got to hear Holocene live for the first time at the PNC Arena a few weeks ago. Something I’ll never forget.
One of the Most powerful Songs of All Time
One of the best live music videos on UA-cam.....What a vive!.....Long live Bon Iver ❤️
This songs brings me so much peace
The drums throughout this song are perfect..
This song and Lyrics makes me cry. Hugs from Brazil!
Rafael. Entendo você. Essa música é magnífica. Fico impressionado com a sensibilidade desses caras. Sem comentário
This song STILL touches my SOUL every time I hear it!!
Probably the most heart felt performance I've seen
Love the sound track from ' The Judge' this is one of my favorites. Seven years ago I saw the movie with an old friend, she died about a month later. on this day! I miss her so.
Here I am, back home again for my fix. To all reading this, brighter days ahead when the chains are lifted my friends, take care.
Dude, thank God because he gave u a wonderfull gift!!! thank you for your beautiful songs!!!
I was lucky to be at the Haven Festival in Copenhagen tonight, beautiful music, such beauty and art.
I live for videos like this one: impeccable musical performance, absolutely immaculate in every second of it...and then there's people's comments to them - I can learn so much about a moment that someone had lived while I'm listening to this song. Every person is like a universe of stories that never end. It's breathtaking to know that this beautiful music has special place in so many hearts.
Had it not been for watching the film "The Judge" I would have totally missed this awesome song. I have to say I can't stop playing it, especially at night in bed alone with my thoughts and memories of the good times and bad. The song makes me sad but it also makes me incredibly grateful and happy with life. Not many songs can do that!
Lol the guy at 3:29. Nice moment.
yeah!
What it's all about
100% me
fuck yeah that's cute as shit!
yes.YES!
I thank the Judge for making me stumbled into a masterpiece called Holocene and finding multitalented gold as is Bon Iver ❤️
Cause Bon Iver was not in the radio, ever, in my country :( don't know if it will, most people i know don't even know who/what bon iver is
I could listen to this masterpiece for all eternity.
The world is a better place with Justin's music in it. ❤
Love this man...his music...his soul..thank you for posting this.
Just saw him last week, one of the best concerts I’ve been too. Being young his music gets to me so much, seeing others like me listening to just junk nowadays. This is music, it doesn’t take good looks or even the smartest person to make great music. All you need is passion (Bon iver)
Have you read his lyrics and tried to piece what he’s literally saying? Dudes a genius
Wow! Incredible performance.
To me one of the most emotional songs ever....
3:31 that guy is just magnificent! Totally won hearts.
How does it feel to write the greatest song ever?
«Ben Howard» & «Bon Iver» - are some of the best experiences in My Life!
i met you and my soul, watching the movie "the judge". A great awakening in my life ! i founded myself
the feeling when you listen to this song ❤❤❤ comforting at the same time heartbreaking ❤❤❤
Bon Iver's performance at Rock the Garden took everyone's breath away, especially when *they played "Holocene" from *their self-titled album near the end of *their set.
this song has been through so many stages of my life with me. i’m forever grateful for this album ten years on.
This is MUSIC. It hurts and cleans your soul😍
