I met Justin at a truck stop In Wisconsin last year. I told him how his music helped me with my recovery from drugs. I started crying and he hugged me. He sat there and talked to me for a good 10 minutes it was so sweet of him. This man is truly a amazing artist, person and performer.

Never know what his intentions behind the lyrics but this one always strikes me especially. I grew up extremely arrogant and ambitious, recently went through clinical depression essentially because I finally realised I was not magnificent and couldn't cope with being mediocre. Now I've embraced it my life is so much better but this song always reminds me.
You should read Camus. He believes, even thought we are not magnificent, that we should still live our best lives. No matter what. It is a conjunction of thought. This is Holocene.
I’m a 44 year old man that Cant get though this video without remembering the loss of my wife (4 days away from 5 years.) I cry every time. This is music that not only rips at the soul but rejuvenates it at the same time.
I’m so glad you were there. I work at the show (then Late Night, now The Tonight Show). I was in the back of the audience. They let staff members go in and watch from the back if there’s an act we like. I was blown away. Easily one of the best musical performances we’ve ever had in that studio in all my years of working there.
I inexplicably cried. Nay, sobbed, the first time I heard this song. I didn't even know what the lyrics meant; only that it was forcing me to let go of pain I didn't even know I had.
The first time I heard this you would of thought I just lost my best friend, I sobbed so hard even after the song ended. It took a full month of occasionally listening to it before I could not lose my shit. Still to this day I get goosebumps every time it plays though.
I lost my mother one month ago, she got cancer. She and I listened to this song together. I always loved this song (a lot), but now it has more sense than before to me. Thank you for the song.
Holy shit. I'm literally sitting here watching the always Sunny podcast on my TV while I watch this on a phone, because I just remembered about this song from one of my favorite guitarists of my favorite bands covering it. Always Sunny is my favorite show. I literally didn't notice he was the guest until you said this.
Best version of Holocene I have ever seen live. Those little musical flouroshes throughout are as beautiful as music gets. Reminds me of a modern version of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks
Charisma Bros other great years will come. But 2011 was magic for me as well. I was road tripping through New Zealand when this album dropped and we had it on repeat. New Zealand is the most beautiful place on earth and through the sonic vision of Bon Iver it just went interstellar. I will always cherish that memory.
When I die, I'm to be cremated and my ashes are to be mixed with those of my late boy, Toby, and scattered on the West coast of Ireland at sunset. This is to be played while the wind takes us away ...
my ashes to be spread at Point Betsie Lighthouse on the beach in Lake Michigan , with my dogs....I will walk the beach forever in beauty and love with the best companions a man could ever have
When I was 2 all i wanted for Christmas was an apple tree and my grandpa went out of his way to plant one for me. Sadly neither him nor the tree are still with us, but when I die I want an apple tree to be planted and I want my ashes spread underneath it so i could share the gift of fruit with all those who come after me
I rarely come across a song that grabs and holds my attention from the start all the way to the final chord. Wow. Beautiful! I absolutely loved it. Thank you for uploading this.. :)
I know right.. it's like you get sucked in the melody, It sounds very shallow in the begin of the song, but the bassnotes give it a deeper layer... where it sounds like the true meaning and feeling of the song just strike you..
jeff bonilla wow ur not joking its absolutely beautiful and touching, every sound, hits every sense, i love them, came across them whilt listening to angus and julia stone, amazing!! il keep looking for some more jewels
Either that or he's trying to stay in tune for what's to come, cause in my opinion he's about to cry. Or at least struggling to contain those emotions boiling inside at the catharsis moment...
There's like 8 guys, on a super tiny stage, with 37 instruments, LIVE, and it might sound better than the album version (which is amazing)...WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?
This is probably one of the most enticing performances I've seen on here. The camera work really allows us to appreciate the nuances (the instruments, the instrumentalists, Justin's expressions). I mean, much like the way a poet chooses his/her words carefully in order to compose a powerful poem, this performance does the same. Much love!
its pretty hard for bands to be legendary and actually change music nowadays the way they have in the past, but bon iver/justin and songs like these are some of the most unique stuff I have seen and listened to in my life.. he's awesome :)
I thought he spent some time up in Canada and the French speaking people he was with called him Bon Iver, which means good winner. That could just be a rumor, though.
This is a 10/10 performance. Encapsulating to watch each musician find the groove and rhythm and you can tell by the lead singer. He knows they are in full flow.
I'm waiting to see these in Manchester UK, next year I booked the tickets over a year ago but covid happened. I can't wait to see them. I only discovered them in the last few years and they have inspired me, given me clarity, made me feel emotion in different ways.
I don't even know how i want to formulate this, but everything seems completely and utterly useless but also so meaningfull at the same time. I can't really describe what I'm feeling, but that is the closest I've come in a long time to it. Thanks for the video, 10 years after it being uploaded :)
Justin Vernon dresses in a style that can only be called "nerd cool". It's so unself image conscious that it ends up being kind of hip. And his music...good lord, how can you not love the beauty and sensitivity? Not possible...dude is real.
Its called being a hipster lol except hipsters actually try to go for the look while Justin probably doesn't put much thought into it like you said. Justin Vernon is a magnificent man.
Thank you so much for re-posting this. On the previous upload (which disappeared) a man commented that Bon Iver's music had helped him overcome his drug addiction. Amazingly he later ran into Justin (the singer-songwriter) at a truck-stop and Justin sat and talked with him for ten minutes as this man wept. I just thought that was an incredible story worth sharing again. Peace.
This song is syrup for the soul. It sticks with you and makes you feel tender and vulnerable . I cried the first time I heard it at the end of the movie The Judge .
I've only recently begun to really appreciate this incredible creation. I've read people's impressions of what the song is about -face it, it's beautiful because it's cryptic and we all take away something because we all feel the beauty and the pain in this song. And the musicians in this performance... damn! French horn, trombone, clarinet, tenor sax, trumpet... I, too, have this song on 'repeat' in my car, on my iPod, in my house. Thanks for the post! Incredibly moving.
this is simply a modern day masterpiece. 2 drummers, 3 guitars, 3 on horn instruments and a keyboardist. All perfectly combined to humble anybody down onto their knees. "and at once i knew... i was not magnificient.." this line says it all...
He sure is...just look at his album from 4 years, 22 a million a perfect blend of electronic and looping. wait until some RnB artists use that album as a blueprint in few years
Amazing performance. Also, I love that Charlie Days comes to the stage at the end to individually thank all the members of the band, class act that guy.
I've probably listnened to this song 100 times, played it at gigs at least ten times and I've recorded 5+ own versions of it with different instrumentations and mindsets. But I end up never being satisfied with my takes on it because Justin and Bon Iver's two takes (live and album are quite different) are just so incredibly good. Been working on getting a live one-take style recording of it with my band with just singing, guitar obstinato and a grand piano but I think I'm just going to put that recording on a hard drive and never publish it because I'll just compare it to the originals. Dammit, I love this song!
Oskar Förberg Hey Oskar! After reading this i went to see your channel expecting maybe i would be able to find one of your versions of this song but i couldn't find one! :P Do you happen to have a url or a link with a live version or an arrange made by you? ty in advance! :D
Oskar Förberg That's why no one covers his songs! Because they know it just wont be the same. Take a look at Birdy. She had to make her own version of it. Edit: Kudos to covering his music. It takes talent I can only imagine.
Parker Dolan well you've got a good point there. When ever I feel ready to upload a take of this wonderful song I'll definitely tell you guys. If you're into tallest man on earth I've got a cover of his Cycles cover on my soundcloud. Just do a search on my name if you're interested. Some songs there are not that good, others I'm quite proud of. :)
a genuinely talented band. Two sets of drums working in tandem, the use of brass and bell instruments, and that underlying saxophone holding that one note in the chorus absolutely makes this song
Bob Iver has been captivated me since “skinny love” in 08’. It’s magical and oh so heartbreaking! It’s romantic music taken to another level! We love ❤️ You Justin & the Boys fromBon Iver! HALLOCENE is one of the best!
Bon Iver is one of the best songwriters of this era. He manages to express the demons he faced with powerful lyrics as well as instrumentation. Simply breathtaking.
I feel like this song is about a battle with drug addiction or depression but reading the lyrics and listening to it at the same time makes it so much more profound…… simply beautiful in every way
I met Justin at a truck stop In Wisconsin last year. I told him how his music helped me with my recovery from drugs. I started crying and he hugged me. He sat there and talked to me for a good 10 minutes it was so sweet of him. This man is truly a amazing artist, person and performer.
Lucky all I get at truck stops here are bears fans
Tyson I love this story man. Hope you are still well.
That's Wisconsin folk for ya. Proud product of Wisconsin.
Wow! Glad your better 😊
Tyson G8 to my Facebook cuz I’m Elijah the lord
Whoa 😳
I’m your heavenly father serious
Go ! Love 💗 G8 to my Facebook cuz I’m Elijah the lord
Whoa 😳
I’m your heavenly father serious
Go ! Love 💗 G8 to my Facebook cuz I’m Elijah the lord
Whoa 😳
I’m your heavenly father serious
Go ! Love 💗
I remember when I found Bon Iver's music. It was like finding a part of myself that I always knew I had but I never thought I'd find.
For me it was during the final credits of The Place Beyond the Pines.
🖐
I found Bon Iver on Myspace in 2006.
feel this comment oh so much. thank you
deep
"And at once I knew, I was not magnificent". That must be one of the most beautiful lines ever written.
It's actually "and once I knew" which changes the context a little but yes still amazing
Braxton Mouton It's "and at once I knew", I have the record on Vinyl and the lyrics are printed on it
Isaac Ruthen Really? my mistake. I hoped it was that, A-Z lyrics was wrong.
Never know what his intentions behind the lyrics but this one always strikes me especially. I grew up extremely arrogant and ambitious, recently went through clinical depression essentially because I finally realised I was not magnificent and couldn't cope with being mediocre. Now I've embraced it my life is so much better but this song always reminds me.

I agree. It does me the same exact way for similar reasons.
God be with you on your journey.
May the light guide you all!🙏
Sweet man. Thank you. Me too
Peace to you, brother.
My family and I were in the 2nd row at this taping. It was incredible.
jason william shuck how did you survive all of this?
Can’t even imagine.
wow, that is intense! very very cool Jason, so wish I could've been there too.
Lucky 🍀

i dont care who the hell you are, this song will touch anyone's soul.
I inexplicably cried. Nay, sobbed, the first time I heard this song. I didn't even know what the lyrics meant; only that it was forcing me to let go of pain I didn't even know I had.
right on brother
The first time I heard this you would of thought I just lost my best friend, I sobbed so hard even after the song ended. It took a full month of occasionally listening to it before I could not lose my shit. Still to this day I get goosebumps every time it plays though.
EmotionalMuch?
YES HE CAN IF YOU LOVE ENOUGH
I lost my mother one month ago, she got cancer. She and I listened to this song together. I always loved this song (a lot), but now it has more sense than before to me. Thank you for the song.
Bless you 🕊️💜
I'm so sorry Orlando, tears in my eyes for you and your mum
I hope she Rests in Peace and in eternal love ❤️
I lost my Mum this year and it was hard to take, Bon Iver really helped me.
I hope you're doing better!
It's tough :(
That was tucking awesome!
Justy you deserve a lot more credit for that joke
@@joshuawells5191 agreed that's a good pun right there
Good ear
Absolutely wetting myself at that joke.
7 years later, still a golden comment
This is almost overwhelmingly beautiful.
Sarah Marie that was a perfect description.
Yes! Every time he sings. They have great song choices, taste and my God his voice!
This song takes me places. I wish I would've discovered it in 2012 when it came out, but it's doing me great service right now.
where does it take you when you listen to it now?
I've listened to it on loop for days. Gonna do that more.
@@tallon3925Great memories from when I first heard it in 2014.
Charlie Day sitting in the guest chair makes this video so much better. My favourite Bon Iver song.
favorite actor, favorite musician
The fighter of the nightman, champion of the sun and friendship for everyone himself!
and then shaking the band members' hands after
Holy shit. I'm literally sitting here watching the always Sunny podcast on my TV while I watch this on a phone, because I just remembered about this song from one of my favorite guitarists of my favorite bands covering it. Always Sunny is my favorite show. I literally didn't notice he was the guest until you said this.
Holocene for years has been the song I wake up to every day as my alarm. It is an utterly magical song. I am forever thankful that it exists.
Justins face at 4:56 is just pure magic, he's so into the music! What a fantastic live performance, this is top drawer stuff.
Best version of Holocene I have ever seen live. Those little musical flouroshes throughout are as beautiful as music gets. Reminds me of a modern version of Van Morrison's Astral Weeks
I have chased vans musical patterns from astral weeks across time my dude. By far my favorite modern incarnation right here.
Lol what
this is an awesome comment, man. van and justin are my two all time favourites
nearing 4:00, it's like they're trying to replicate the sounds of memories flooding back. it sounded beautiful
So true
Cringe
@@NoName-fo7mz it's okay to be corny sometimes
One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. Just to keep this alive
For sure
I love coming back to this. Glad to see other people do to
2011 was the best year of my life
Charisma Bros other great years will come. But 2011 was magic for me as well.
I was road tripping through New Zealand when this album dropped and we had it on repeat.
New Zealand is the most beautiful place on earth and through the sonic vision of Bon Iver it just went interstellar.
I will always cherish that memory.
Michael Hellqvist I'm glad we have love the same year. 2011 was a gem
Reading this made me happy
It truly was a great year
More wonderful memories to come, for sure. 2011 was my favorite year so far as well.
When I die, I'm to be cremated and my ashes are to be mixed with those of my late boy, Toby, and scattered on the West coast of Ireland at sunset.
This is to be played while the wind takes us away ...
that's beautiful, just beautiful
my ashes to be spread at Point Betsie Lighthouse on the beach in Lake Michigan , with my dogs....I will walk the beach forever in beauty and love with the best companions a man could ever have
Jeff K man, I’m gonna be in Frankfort again in a week and that just gave me chills
Did you know Justin wrote a song called West Coast of Ireland when he visited Galway for a few months?
When I was 2 all i wanted for Christmas was an apple tree and my grandpa went out of his way to plant one for me. Sadly neither him nor the tree are still with us, but when I die I want an apple tree to be planted and I want my ashes spread underneath it so i could share the gift of fruit with all those who come after me
'somewhere baby there's part of me apart from me', so apt when my marriage failed. Utterly brilliant...
Layered levels of musical genius, it don't get much better than this. Hope they regroup one day as Bon Iver.
I rarely come across a song that grabs and holds my attention from the start all the way to the final chord. Wow. Beautiful! I absolutely loved it. Thank you for uploading this.. :)
I know right.. it's like you get sucked in the melody,
It sounds very shallow in the begin of the song, but the bassnotes give it a deeper layer... where it sounds like the true meaning and feeling of the song just strike you..
Welcome to Bon Iver
i agree with you. although it's so damn hard to choose a favourite from them, i think i'll go with this one. ;)
jeff bonilla
wow ur not joking its absolutely beautiful and touching, every sound, hits every sense, i love them, came across them whilt listening to angus and julia stone, amazing!! il keep looking for some more jewels
I was the same way... you should get into jazz and bach... it opened a whole new world for me.
4:56 he's all like, "hell yeah, this is music."
Either that or he's trying to stay in tune for what's to come, cause in my opinion he's about to cry. Or at least struggling to contain those emotions boiling inside at the catharsis moment...
This whole song is just absolutely unreal! The crescendo from 4:33 takes you to another place!
Goosebumps
There's like 8 guys, on a super tiny stage, with 37 instruments, LIVE, and it might sound better than the album version (which is amazing)...WHAT IS THIS MAGIC?
Magic.
Beautiful beautiful magic. :)
it does sound a billion times better than the album version.
was thinking this is magnificent 😍
I actually cried when I first heard this song. It's the song that made me dive into their music.
This is probably one of the most enticing performances I've seen on here. The camera work really allows us to appreciate the nuances (the instruments, the instrumentalists, Justin's expressions). I mean, much like the way a poet chooses his/her words carefully in order to compose a powerful poem, this performance does the same. Much love!
3 reasons this is amazing:
- Bon Iver
- Justin Vernon
- Charlie Day in the beginning of the video
what more can a man want
I will never get enough of this band (nor Justin Vernon). So much talent, it's hard to fathom.
I know. He reaches my soul in ways no other musician ever has!
This was just a brilliant performance of one of the most beautiful songs that i've ever heard.
Wow. Floored. Some of the best 6 minutes in music. Love the guy on the trombone and the jingle bells. He's the man! Killin' it! Absolutely flawless.
and at once I knew, I was not magnificent...BEST LINE EVER!
its pretty hard for bands to be legendary and actually change music nowadays the way they have in the past, but bon iver/justin and songs like these are some of the most unique stuff I have seen and listened to in my life.. he's awesome :)
2023...Still loving this... Justin sings into your soul❤
For the longest time I thought Bon Iver was just Justin Vernon and I thought Bon Iver was his name
Lol I thought that until now haha
+Emily P Bon Iver was just Justin Vernon for For Emma, Forever Ago
well he still writes and produces it all himself, the rest of the band is for live performances and changes a lot.
I thought he spent some time up in Canada and the French speaking people he was with called him Bon Iver, which means good winner. That could just be a rumor, though.
I'm pretty sure most of it is written by Justin and then everyone else just plays whatever.
This is a 10/10 performance. Encapsulating to watch each musician find the groove and rhythm and you can tell by the lead singer. He knows they are in full flow.
this song was used at my dad's funeral
RIP to your dad....Peace.
thank you
R.I.P
thanks
Rip I couldn't even make it through the judge scene with this song I couldn't imagine.
I'm waiting to see these in Manchester UK, next year I booked the tickets over a year ago but covid happened. I can't wait to see them. I only discovered them in the last few years and they have inspired me, given me clarity, made me feel emotion in different ways.
Charlie Day shaking everyone's hand makes me happy. What an absolute shining example of a human.
My beloved son David Dijkstra commited suïcide on december 17th 2021. Aged only 22 years💔. This was one of the song we played for him on his funeral🤲🏻
Sending you peace and ❤. Lost my younger brother to suicide five years ago. I started playing music to help me grieve. Love playing this song.
I’m so sorry for your loss
In so sorry for you. The pain must be unbearable. Jesus helps a whole bunch. I'll pray for you
❤❤❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. May your son rest in peace, and may God comfort you until you are reunited.
i love how he lightens up at the end after a heavy song, smiling and waving to everyone.
This song kills me everytime! This version is incredible beautiful!
probably one of the greatest video's on youtube
I don't even know how i want to formulate this, but everything seems completely and utterly useless but also so meaningfull at the same time. I can't really describe what I'm feeling, but that is the closest I've come in a long time to it. Thanks for the video, 10 years after it being uploaded :)
Best band and song! This will be played during the celebration of my life...so beautiful and transcending.
The creativity that explodes from Bon Iver is simple amazing
What an amazing group of musicians!
Justin Vernon dresses in a style that can only be called "nerd cool". It's so unself image conscious that it ends up being kind of hip. And his music...good lord, how can you not love the beauty and sensitivity? Not possible...dude is real.
Its called being a hipster lol except hipsters actually try to go for the look while Justin probably doesn't put much thought into it like you said.
Justin Vernon is a magnificent man.
This song is godamn magical. It takes you somewhere.
This is one of the best videos on youtube. If I am repeating myself from months ago, that is my intention. lol
Those reeds and brass sound like running stream. I love it!
To collaborate with so many individuals to make something so beautiful, must be the greatest feeling
It's so chilling when he sings "and at once i knew, i was not magnificent"
Awwwww Justin, breathtaking. God, the oboe. Thank you.
My man, how does this sound better than the original? Brooklyn 2019 I will see you!
Thank you so much for re-posting this. On the previous upload (which disappeared) a man commented that Bon Iver's music had helped him overcome his drug addiction.

oh I've gotta see that! Thanks for the rec Barry!
That was one of the best performances ever. So complete with all the instruments. Thank you!!!!
As far as a live band performance goes.... It ain't passing this... Every aspect of it flows and hits the strings and emotions of the heart
I've only recently begun to really appreciate this incredible creation. I've read people's impressions of what the song is about -face it, it's beautiful because it's cryptic and we all take away something because we all feel the beauty and the pain in this song.

Holy crap ! I nearly cried and came at the same time. How beautiful is this !!!
Just heartbreakingly beautiful. Wow.
I wished his recorded version sounded as good as this performance. I love the horns in his. How beautiful this is. Thanks for presrving.
he does it on purpose, so you can hear what you want. and it makes his songs endlessly listenable.
His music, no matter how many times I have listened to it, never fails to give me goosebummps
Justin is so ahead of his time...
He sure is...just look at his album from 4 years, 22 a million a perfect blend of electronic and looping. wait until some RnB artists use that album as a blueprint in few years
after all these years this song SO moves me. amazing!
Heartbreaking and uplifting at the same time.
Thank you so much, didn't know there could be more iterations of this song I'd fall in love with.. thank you 🙏🏾
GOD DAMN, THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT
Amazing performance. Also, I love that Charlie Days comes to the stage at the end to individually thank all the members of the band, class act that guy.

a genuinely talented band. Two sets of drums working in tandem, the use of brass and bell instruments, and that underlying saxophone holding that one note in the chorus absolutely makes this song
My favorite song. Touches my soul
Bob Iver has been captivated me since “skinny love” in 08’. It’s magical and oh so heartbreaking! It’s romantic music taken to another level! We love ❤️ You Justin & the Boys fromBon Iver! HALLOCENE is one of the best!
This is spectacular! Great to see a group of musicians so in-synch to recreate such a dense album track!
Been years, coming back to this, still the best music made
I love the obvious praise he was getting from The Roots around 5:36. Ten years later and this is still my favorite live performance of Holocene.
Just seen him in Manchester tonight. Incredible stuff man. This is still my favourite album ever
@@tombamber9851 Seeing him in London tonight, cant wait
@@ChINNg28 I’d try catch the support. Different but pretty good. You’ll have a blast either way.
Bon Iver is one of the best songwriters of this era. He manages to express the demons he faced with powerful lyrics as well as instrumentation. Simply breathtaking.
I'm absolutely speechless! Almost teary...Bravo!
Love these guys. Lots of heart / soul in their music.
This is an incredibly emotional song. Man, I cry everytime.
I feel like this song is about a battle with drug addiction or depression but reading the lyrics and listening to it at the same time makes it so much more profound…… simply beautiful in every way
when he sings "jagged vacance thick with ice" fuck man
Brendan McDonald beautiful right
Man! Thanks for posting! Excellent memory.
397 followers, and 1.5M views.... well done!
I love all the percussion in this song
Classic. Never gets old.
What an amazing live performance! I was scheduled to see Bon Iver in concert in Maine last year but of course it was canceled due to Covid.
Literally the most beautiful thing in my life.
one of the sweetest live performances i have ever heard
And here I am again. and again.
Bon Iver - Calgary (live from Sydney). Thank me later.
Best live performance I've ever heard. So damn amazing
My favourite song of theirs
Magnificent song! Brilliant arrangement!
The production. 👌
It's amazing how this is song is so outright emotional. It's moving before you know what the lyrics are, then you learn the lyrics and it's doubly so.
Anyone listening to this needs to visit Lake Superior. This is north Shore music
