Whenever I start listening to Bon Iver I make sure I am free for the next 2 to 3 hours
Same honesty. You can’t just listen to one song and stop
That and the fact that I go on an emotional journey and continue listening to songs....whoops
Exactly my feeling right now. I'm blissful, sad, optimistic and relented all at the same time, and I need the next couple hours to just exist.
Shanjeev Reddy love brother 🤲🏻
omg same
How can something, which is intentionally so artificial sound so emotional at the same time?
i felt the emotion too!
I KNOW, RIGHT?
killow what a great comment! I can't understand it either!
i get the same feels from hide and seek and lindisfarne I (it's the chords)
killow such is the human condition...
Bon Iver is something that you don't understand, is something that you feel.
Fucking hippie
the lyrics, which DO have significant meaning, also yield great emotion. So you're right, but you're also very wrong

I’ve seen this live many times. It is a song that has always made me cry. To me, it has gotten me through break ups, deaths, and suicide attempts. When I saw Justin in Washington, DC and he played this I was overcome with emotion. I was bawling my eyes out. A kind stranger put his hand on my shoulder and simple said, “he’s helped me through a lot too” and gave me a hug. Thank you Justin, and thank you kind stranger. This is the power of music.
I'm really crying a lot listening to this, it makes me feel good when I know it impacts others the same way
I think this actually is my favourite bon iversong. I always think its something else, but I keep going back to this song and listening to it on repeat for half an hour.
Bador ist ein Bon Iver fan?!
Btw. Das ist auch mein favorite track 🙌
@@NickKlassicNickflix ist tolle musik, wenn man mal was melancholisch seien will!
I cannot stop listening to this song. I'm aching. I'm aching and I can't stop. I can't stop the ache.
This song feels like an embodiment of my ache. Justin Vernon is a mediator of all heartache.
I usually can't get myself to cry... Not trying to sound cool or anything, I wish I could more often. But this song makes me weep, and for no particular reason.
This gives me so "Hide and seek" vibes! I love it!
that's an amazing song...
Michael Brown Sure is! :)
Definitely! I saw an interview somewhere where Justin actually said that it was after listening to hide and seek and wanting to write something like that that he wrote "woods"
Great track. I read in a few articles that the technology, if you will, is actually a Messina that was developed by Vernon and one of his engineers with the last name Messina (his first name escapes me). I don't think a vocoder was used, as many people have mentioned. At the end of this video Messina is even in the text. Either way, one of Justin Vernon's best 'love' songs.
:)
This song, to me, is the most powerful and emotional on the album. The lyrics reveal the feeling of being stuck, lost, and confused. It's a very relateable song for me.
I'm really disappointed by the amount of people hating on this album, saying he's trying too hard or ruining his voice with autotune. Justin is just experimenting with sound in in, brilliant ways. He's kind of saying fuck you, this is music because I say it is. If you don't like it, shove it.
I don't feel at all that the autotune is cheap or a cop out. If you listen very closely with headphones, the amount of detail put into the autotuned voices are amazing You can really hear each individual pitch and how they move and interact with each other. There is far more to this song than is apparent, it just takes some digging to discover.
This album is the best use of a vocoder ever, period.
@@captainpiefox9133 Thanks cap! Was just gonna say this isn't auto tune but a vocoder that's performed live when recording, and it's absolutely brilliant!
Real🙌🏻
his performances of this song out just out of this world. I 100% agree this is the most powerful and emotional songs on the album. It is such an experience
it was ahead of it's time, people will catch on to it more and more as time goes on
Best song of the album. Sounded even more amazing live at Eaux Claires
I like the live debut better generally (aside from some horrible electronic noises at times). both amazing though.
The live debut has much more human feel and effect than this track and most others on the studio album. That's unfortunately been the story for many new albums this year. Oh well. Still good.
I cried the first time I heard it, and I was just watching videos of Eaux Claires online! Bet it sounded like the voice of God or something. Neeeeeeed to hear this live!
Matt Mazur yess that whole performance was amazing 😭
I got tears too brother. Amazingly powerful, and live would be alive.
*goddamn, turn around now, you’re my a-team!*
this part give me so many chills, oh my god.
I love love the anger in this part
I've heard this live three times and it's always excellent in some new way.
@@royloebe7398 oh my gosh, you’re living my dream 😩
HE SWORE LIVE IN MANC WAS SO EMOSH :’(
@@royloebe7398was incredible wasnt it?! The pain 😮💨 cried the whole show lmao
I don’t think lyrics have ever spoken to me like these. Reminds me of the intentional, very futile, and many “last weekends” or “trips” an ex and I put ourselves through. Knowing we were not going to work but struggling to be emotionally mature enough to let go.
Bon Iver, words can't explain how beautiful this album is.
This whole album was so worth the wait. The people bashing all over this album aren't Bon Iver fans, they're Folk/Indie music fans. I love the whole concept behind this album. There's so much emotion, meaning, and love in the lyrics and Bon Iver delivers as always in that aspect. A lot of people may not enjoy this side of Bon Iver, but really all they changed was their sound and I think it's a beautifully crafted work of art. Keep up the great work Justin.
JaycubManleh why tf doesnt this comment have more likes and replies
Doubt anyone will read this, but here goes...
Me and my soulmate broke up a couple of days ago and I’m heading away off shore to a new job where I’ll spend weeks away at a time, I moved countries so we can be together, we blossomed but more so, recently we have hit some huge bumps in our relationship which took its toll.
The pressure of going away from someone you love, when life changes so much in such a short period of time, it’s a whirlwind of emotions. I’ve survived years of depression in my old life... but this year I found peace.
She will always be the one.
Justin’s music was both our first choice, I find it hard to listen too without becoming a sensitive emotional wreck, but it helps no matter what.
I have two tickets I brought for us to come out and see you live, in Amsterdam - April.
I’ll let fait play it’s part in life now and I hope to see you then, with my soulmate ♥️
How are you now? How’s life?
This is so strangely beautiful. Why does it make me cry??
I'm so glad Bon Iver took this direction. It gets rid of all the close-minded plebs who can't appreciate change or how beautiful this song is.
It shows who's only here for the "Skinny Love's" and not open minded enough to understand actual musical growth.
skott jeffrey "musical growth"? ITS FUCKING AUTO TUNED, A CAT COULD MAKE THIS.
please, go and try to produce a song like this and come back. I doubt you will lol
Dude, I'm sorry that he isn't catering to your sensibilities. I'm sorry he isn't sitting in a cabin again recreating his first album all over. It's good that people have different opinions, it's a good thing yes.
It has nothing to do with my sensibilities, I'm just worried about my ear drums.
The song feels like arguing with yourself in a dream and losing something in return. Like grasping at trying to understand something out of reach but wanting desperately to want it back. It’s…perfect.
why are people so bitter about this album? If you look back on everything the Justin has done, this album makes sense and is a clear progression. you can see much of this electronic sound in Gayngs and Volcano Choir and some of his other collaborations, mixed with the lyrics of bon iver of the past. we have to progress in our art. if you're looking for old bon iver, go listen to old bon iver.
Amen.
I agree, I absolutely love this album. It's growing on me!
You said it, friend.
This album is amazing
You said everything I've been thinking of, in just as many words. I feel like Justin has slowly built himself a spaceship. For Emma Forever Ago was waking up shivering in the acoustic bare-bones cabin in the middle of winter's nowhere. That rusted cabin made it to spring with Bon Iver - Bon Iver; the cabin became equipped with an electrical panel, was swept and rugged, perhaps a painting or two hung. Friends where invited over with songs like 'Hinnom' and 'Calgary'. That album ended with 'Beth/Rest', with us resting in a cozy enclave equipped with all the gadgetry needed to make it through winters to come. And make it we all did. Now this motherfucker's back with 22, A Million. The cabin's been fitted with a pair of super-sonic jet engines, it takes one last look at its surrounding lakes and woods with "It Might Be Over Soon" and with the thunder boom of "10deathbreast" blasts off into theh infinitude of deep space: goodbye Eau Claire, goodbye all lonely acoustic sentiments, I want the fumes of companion and the camaraderie of a fleet. ya dig?
"Oh then how we gonna cry, 'cause it once might not mean something."
Those are some powerful words that resonated with me in the first listen. Really loving this interpretation!
this man is a fucking poet. incredible.
I think what makes the song so good is how Justin uses his voice as an instrument. Sure, it's singing into a vocalizer, but the way he sings and what he's singing about makes all of his songs so special.
“Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds
But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease". A song hasn't made me this emotional in a long time.
I'm pretty sure it's out from the creek?
I found out my mom died today. This was her favorite latest Bon Iver song.
'oh, then how we gonna cry
cause it once might not mean something?'
Peace to that
I'm sorry. May she rest in peace. I hope it hurts less now.
"Finding both your hands as second sun came past the glass". Beautiful
lost it at "turn around you're my A team" like, what actually does that even mean. I find myself singing it silently to my laptop when the screen faces away from me...
You made a grown man cry, Justin. I hope you're happy.
We're kids on grown men suits.
If i heard this song on repeat for the rest of my life, I'd be OK with that
Huh I thought "crease" was "creek" this whole time.
Yeah me too😂 took me like 3 plays through the album and this video to catch on
Wait what??? so ive been wrong this whole time???
@@farhannr28 I think it's Creeks as it's in the title, also this guy typed don instead of down so he prolly made a mistake. Previous line talks about reeds which you find near rivers and that so it only makes sense for it to be creeks
@@suhd9374 It's intentionally crease. Much like the authors expectations are subverted with his lover leaving him, he plays with ours as well lyrically. I think the Creeks are the setting, the crease is whatever is ailing him that caused his lover to leave.
@@suhd9374 My dude, the word creek appears in the first line, and don is the correct word (don as in the past tense verb for putting on an article of clothing). The first result on Google gives you the incorrect lyrics, but you'll find the official ones on Genius.
There are no typos in this video whatsoever.
The live version was so raw and had so much emotion behind it, was my favorite track at eaux claire. This just sounds silly and obnoxious.
**Edit: I WAS WRONG. I'm sorry, I get it now. Live version still incredible, but this is comparable. It's gorgeous, gut-wrenching, raw and calculated. I love it. Thank you JV for making music.
agree 100%
agreed. that live version gives me the feels
I still like this version too though.
link?
The live version is really more striking because you can clearly hear his true voice stand out amongst the rest of the auto-tune-y stuff, and there's reverb. Whereas here his real voice blends in with the background. I like both, and it's my favorite track so far, but I'm biased cuz I love me some Imogen heap.
I have no words to explain the feeling that comes to me when I hear this song.
You guys are all going to look back on this 6 months from now and realize how genius it is.. This is art.
Almost 6 years later, and I can't imagine Bon Iver without this album
This entire album is way ahead of our time.
thank you Joe Alwyn for showing us this work of art
probably the best song i've heard the last year, or more
You must be deaf
Yasss The Woods type vibe love it
Seriously. So damn good
eat a mushroom, go into the woods and then listen to this
Wish this song was longer. Best song on the album.
To everyone shitting on this song, are you not reading the fucking lyrics?? Not only that but the very clearly intentional pauses, how the chords change slightly every stanza, or the growing bursts of emotion mixed with the distortion. This is not a radio single; it's art.
oOoOo

Lyrical masterpiece.
*Copy-paste*
Got chills just reading it.
This album is beyond our time !! i still can't fully grasp it .. masterclass
Madison Scouts 2019....yes....I’m so excited to hear the Madison hornline play this....
Bon Iver might be the new “ballad master” in DCI. Woods....now this....it’s only the beginning.
This is the comment I was looking for. I can already imagine how loud they're going to make it and I can already hear parts of it in my head. I can't wait for 2019, already got tickets to prelims
This just made me even more excited for DCI finals this year 😍
I still get lost sometimes
do i still cross your mind?
@@blindertherabbit if not then nevermind...
After all of controversies, I still need him to finish that song… It’s done so well
This is my favorite song, full stop.
I LOVE the moments when the effects glitch like at 01:04! Imperfections like these make the electronic elements seem so organic and inviting despite sounding very artificial. Such a wonderful, simple little song! 🖤🖤🖤
bon iver songs are all truly mysterious and majestic. all of them are art. i do not get these hollow men who question the new music of bon iver. y the hell u complaining its not like for emma, its not like bon iver, bon iver or blood bank or whatever but one thing's for sure, if you love the artist you are willing to accept the music, the art they are creating. man, im a preachah mhm ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
if you're not a musician (including vocalist) i don't blame you for not liking this song. all the harmonies and the way he uses this vocoder is just so chilling it blows me away. this is one of those songs you reallyyyyy have to pay attention and listen to. listen to every little vocal detail.
What I love about this song is how much Justin has evolved his song “Woods.” It all started with JV toying around with autotune and releasing Woods on the Blood Bank EP. Then he evolved it into “Still” with his side project Volcano Choir. Then he and Kanye worked together to make “Lost in the World.” Finally, came “Creeks.” I just love the generally progression and evolution of a little song that Vernon just keeps revisiting
This just cuts too deep into the soul.
Me too
It does
Truly.. masterful songwriting.
This song is by far the best from the album. The first time I heard it I was moved to tears. It is an absolute masterpiece filled with raw emotion that I can't even put into words.
I have cried so hard multiple times to this song. Now I’m in a different place and I feel like this song made me overcome a great hardship.
I love this sound and I love how divided everyone is over it
Just saw Bon Iver perform this live and it was incredible. I will never forget it.
At first, when this song came out I wasn't liking it but it quickly grew on me, it is so creative although it's just a voice effect but the emotion, the melodies and the lyrics that Justin has put into this is just... greatness. I found myself crying over "Turn around, you're my A team". The pain Justin has gone through is reflected in all of this amazing track.
The raw emotion these waves and words deliver to my human brain is nothing short of eternity.
Joe and Tay loved sad songs 😢
The fact that they were able to change their sound so dramatically and still provide the same emotional impact that their first two albums were so well known for just proves how incredible this album is
Favorite Bon Iver song to date. Weirdest video to date.
Simply the most inspiring series of lyric videos I've ever seen. Great artists combine mediums. Bon Iver is the man
It's a little unsettling to me that people can be so closed minded and not respect the growth and transition of music AND musicians. In a way I'm glad so many don't like it - that just makes this AMAZING piece of art that much more personal, private, and exclusive. Thanks Bon Iver for following through with this album!
It’s so simple yet the emotions and lyrics are so complex. This is definitely one of my favourite Bon Iver songs 😀
This is awesome! Feels like a follow up to Woods. The album makes more sense and flows better as a whole I think! It's a real experience to listen from start to finish.
one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard and im just now discovering bon iver...what a genius
This is bringing up such deep emotions but like, it just makes me want to cry, not hit repeat. Idk. Glad they're making stuff again though!
I know right, the typing in this video is painful to watch and the 'song' ruined my ears. It hurts so bad and I just want to cry.
Well clearly some people aren't too pleased they're back
After going back and listening to the older albums, I can definitely see why fans might be flustered.
This was the first Bon Over album I listened to and I'm glad that I found it as I would not have listened to all of the other great things he has made
released one day before Grammy eligibility ends for 2016
so that explains why so many albums were released this week
AOTY NOMS:
Beyoncé
Kanye West
Frank Ocean
Radiohead
David Bowie
Winner is Beyoncé. Bowie and Radiohead split votes.
Bon Iver gets nom in Best Alternative album.
I completely agree with that top 5
whos bonny bear
+Chris Everhart surely David Bowie would win. Does that not make sense
This is my favorite song of all the time.
This song is incredible. I get the chills every time I listen to it. I love it because the lyrics are undecipherable, and I think they are supposed to be that way. When I listen to them I hear words that are bursting with emotion, and for a while, I poured over the lyrics trying to understand what the message was behind the emotions, until I realized that maybe, just maybe, the message is the in the emotions. The artistic choice to use the Prismizer forces you to focus on the words and how they are sung, but when you strip away the words, you're left with the true meaning of the song. Perhaps that's also why the song titles for this album are filled with atypical characters.
I feel like im hearing a message in between the lyrics, my pulse is slow but my heart is jumping out of my chest. amen.
Move on guys, people change, music changes. Thank "GOD"
I cried the first time I heard this song. I can only imagine how cool this would have been to hear live at Eaux Claires. Sounding like the voice of a God or something. AND HOW DOES ONE acquire the use of Prismizer?
It was absolutely amazing to hear it live at Eaux Claires and I did that same thing - cry. It was absolutely emotional!
Jerry Differding I listened to the recordings of Eaux Claire's, and the surprise and cheering and uproar after his pauses was just awe inspiring.
Casimir Media u serious mate?! 😂 "sounding like the voice of God"
Captain Ford if you hear the live version of him at Eaux Claires. Just imagining how loud it must have been. Not saying he has the voice of god. The volume of his voice and the vocoder instrument he plays would have just sounded legendary over a huge space.
The Opening Crawl Not sure the translation, but they include it because the "instrument" that his vocals are being manipulated by is called the Messina. Invented specifically for vocal situations like this.
Why are so many people complaining about this 'change' to Bon Iver's sound? Have none of y'all heard 'Woods' from the Blood Bank EP? This is a progression from that sound - just a more raw emotion that comes out in the slightly more discordant vocoder. And for the record Bon Iver came upon this style and THEN started collaborating with Kanye, who sampled 'Woods' for his 'Lost in the world' track. Enjoy the album. You'll soon realise that it's a masterpiece.
Despite how different this is from the old acoustic/indie rock stuff Justin used to write, this is crazy beautiful and so passionate. I also commend him for being so willing to experiment and try a new approach, especially using something as brand new and innovative as the Messina. This is 100% incredible, in my opinion.
I wasn't a huge of this song at first but now i absolutely love it, so much raw emotion happening and the vocal effects give it such a strange yet emotional vibe, one of the best off the album for sure
thank you so much, this is my favorite song of the whole album
I cried when I first heard this a few years ago... and I really haven't stopped since
"Deus ex Messina" this last frame was nice
what does it mean?
'Deus ex machina' is a concept that literally means 'god inside the machine', an idea taken from ancient plays that would have their actors portraying 'God' represented onstage inside a magic box. Nowadays it usually applies to some silly and contrived 'get out clause', or bad plot writing; for example, the aliens in War of the Worlds suddenly being allergic to our atmosphere even though that's a ridiculous plot twist.
In this instance, Chris Messina is the album producer, and also lent his name to the 'Messina' which is an audio program and synthesizer used to create these vocal effects. So it's sort of... god inside the messina, the music has found salvation from an ethereal external source. Semi-joking self-referencial fun.
altas mensagens subliminares hehehe
this is exactly the way to interpret Bon Iver songs
+Bone Weight thank you very much for sharing helpful information :)
never has someone been so easily able to make me cry in two minutes.
This is absolutely amazing, the lyrical depth, art, and ridiculously amazing production. Until you understand the depth of this track/album, don't criticize it, it takes alot of attention to actually understand what its about/where its coming from and what its trying to achieve.
100% gives me fall creek boys choir vibes and I love love love it
[Verse 1]
Down along the creek
I remember something
Her, the heron hurried away
When first I breeched that last Sunday (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
Low moon don the yellow road
I remember something
That leaving wasn't easing all that heaving in my vines
And as certain it is evening 'at is NOW is not the time (Ooooh)
[Verse 3]
Toiling with your blood
I remember something
In B, un-rationed kissing on a night second to last
Finding both your hands as second sun came past the glass
And oh, I know it felt right and I had you in my grasp
[Verse 4]
Oh then, how we gonna cry?
Cause it once might not mean something?
And love at second glance, it is not something that we'll need
Honey, understand that I have been left here in the reeds
But all I'm trying to do is get my feet out from the crease
[Outro]
And I see you
Turn around, you're my A Team
Turn around, now you're my A Team
GOD DAMN, turn around now
You're my A Team
This song made me forget everything all my troubles and pains for these precious 3 minutes
Thanks to joe alwyn
This song touches something deep within and is able to move me to tears : I miss my A Team
Justin invented an instrument used in this album. The Messina. In collaboration from Chris Messina.
They should turn that into a product. Why not? People will want to mimic this sound, and I would love to support them.
And Francis, from Francis and the lights
As in that's the instrument used for this song?
E Lancelot yes it is. Combination of re-engineering the software and using a physical instrument to allow that effect to be done live. Otherwise there's so much going on that it creates lag.
Crap. I've been googling the vocoder he may be using forever. This is so awesome and sad at the same time.
This song brings me to tears. Every time.
Me: pass the aux cord
Them: yeah just don’t play anything weird
Me:
Then the homies start sobbing..... Happens every time...
@@daishoryujin95 😭😭
first time listening and i can’t describe it like, ive never felt this way about a song before 😳
Yes! Released 14 seconds ago!
This man carried an entire song with his voice and a weird microphone
Now *thats* talent
Kanye learned so much from Justin, he should put him on payroll for life.
Mathew Guerra but this isn't true
Let's agree to disagree then.
Guerra is a cool name. It means war. Peace brother
VersaceCanOpener We can only speculate. Unless you know him personally, how can you be so certain?
***** why aren't you asking Mathew Guerra the same question?
Favorite Bon Iver album yet.
all right, i'm a brazilian; i'm not even fluent in english and this song destroys me.
I would not change a single thing about this song. It is absolutely perfect. Hits my heart like a ton of bricks but I welcome it.
You know when Bon Iver whips out the auto tune and kicks out the instruments it's about to get intense
i was gonna say i was annoyed that i didn't find this album and amazing artist, but instead i am going to say i am so grateful that i did indeed discover Bon Iver and the magic that is produces by this sensational artist.
this is what happens when you start hanging out with kanye
you read my mind!!
And James Blake
This is actually a much different use of auto tune than Kanye. Justin used it as a tool. Notice how he layered his multiple vocal harmonies over top each other to make it sound like more than just his voice. The layered vocals make is sound like a synthesizer is present. Unlike Kanye's use of auto tune, which he uses to make his signing voice to where it can actually be tolerated. We already know that Justin has a great voice. He used it as a tool. Much different than Kanye.
can you explain? I don't like kanye so idk what you mean
lol u dumb, justin made wickedly produced auto-tune songs long before yeezy even knew him.
Fave song from this album tbh
AOTY? up there with Wildflower and AMSP on my preliminary list (this might be at the top!)
Blonde?
yep, this and wildflower are unreal.
whats wildflower
avalanches comeback album. it's super good.
ain't heard that yet, but the teaser tracks were killer.
All these years later and this is still my favorite song of the entire 22, A Million/i,i cycle.
Frank Ocean e Bon Iver fizeram os álbuns do ano
My Dad always used to play Bon Iver in the car/kitchen when i was about 6-9 now it really stands out to me
I bet Kanye is listening to this song right about now.
