Bon Iver create the kind of music where you really have to close your eyes and feel it to truly appreciate the grandiloquence in each song. It's the kind of music you can't just love because of the sound, but because of the meaning and feeling behind it that really reaches out to each and every person.

"Only love is all maroon" He's singing about how love is truly the only one shaded emotion (All maroon) such a colour states how love causes happiness and pain. Maroon is just the best outlet for that. This is my own interpretation XD

As a teenager, I can't stand when my friends call this type of music "bad". Do they have any idea how hard it is to write songs that carry such an emotional punch? It's not some catchy pop tune or rap rhythm. It's genuinely great music. Thanks Bon Iver.

Not anything remotely qualified but just friendly words if you ever read this. You’re engaging the emotions on the experiential level but you’ve gotta dive in to it to get out of it. It sounds like you’re remembering whatever heartbreak or deep emotions you had but you’re cutting it off at the resolution. Live it all the way through and know you’ll be on the other side when you’re ready. All the best!

Bon Iver are an perfect example of music I do not wish to share, and want to keep all to myself, to fall in love all over again, everytime I hear his beautiful voice.

I’ve watched this video for 10 years and I will forever come back to it.

his imperfect voice is what i love so much there's still so much heart, passion. i'm glad he's got it in him.... i'm reminded life isn't perfect but damn it's so pretty...... H.W.

How did I not know this......how did I never see house until now.....2 great discoveries !

This guy is so unique. Great falsetto voice. Not everyone can sing that strong with that style. I truly enjoy this guy's work.

Such an amazing song. Absolute top 10 of all time. It makes me emotional when i hear. Both happy and sad.

Justin is my inspiration to become the musician my soul is

When i listen to this, i feel like this is the way that music is meant to be! It touches my heart and my mind in a way that not many other things can! Such a unique experience! Thank you Bon Iver for making some real music, in a time when its so hard to find!

his acoustic stuff by far displays the raw emotion he is able to tap into which makes his music very distinct and awesome !

Thers no getting over Bon iver..its like a cozy room in another realm where you go to escape a windy situation and ive been going there for solace

Honestly there is just something about this song that makes me feel something else, I can't put it into words, maybe it's his voice, maybe the lyrics or purely the combination of both, it just hits. I remember hearing it live in the UK and it made me so emotional to the point I teared up and bless my friends they just threw an arm around my shoulder and gave me a pat on the back and we all enjoyed the song together without a word being said. I love this song beyond words.

What an inspiration

God he gives me chills

I bought a Live Current CD at a garage sale when I got my license in high school. This song was what first brought me first Bon Iver, and is associated with fond memories of driving around the cities on warm summer nights with the windows down, Flume blasting on the stereo.

Loved his acceptance speech. This guy gets it. Why do people think that a getting a grammy is the most important thing. Doing your art is the most important thing. This made my day and I hope he continues to make music forever.

***** Your music helps me get through the tough times, thank you.

There a lot of good singers out there, but what makes them great, is the ability to sing the words emotion. That's what makes you special Jason. Love you.

woah, THIS is music at it's best, it's beautiful. God knows why he was nominated for best new artist, his first album was four years ago, and hes only ever produced outstanding music since.

great voice your friend billy

It's like he has his own language when he sings. Justin

For sure my favorite song on the project. Just hauntingly beautiful

What can I say? I'm speechless.

I think this version its MUUCH better than orginal song!

was in rockaway on the oregon coast . had a good fire going on the beach and my lover in my arms. bon iver playing from a iphone in the back ground . wow talk about perfect :) and this is why kids , they won the award!

Today, Everyone is used to hearing crap, on the radio, or wherever, whatever sells they put out there. So when I came upon this video, and the beautiful music coming from it, it caught me by suprise. Its beautiful.

I wish i could understand his words - i think i'd like them.

the thing is, I've known this song for years but I literally cry every time

this is probably the most AMAZING song i've ever heard. I listen to it 30 times a day. helps me go on in life(:

When setting up for this video shoot, someone had to say: "Hey guys, how about we just leave that big wonky computer monitor from 1998 looming in the background. No one will notice." And at the time, before this video had amassed six-million views, I'm sure this decision felt entirely rational. No doubt I would've left it sitting there as well. Those things are heavy enough to be used as boat anchors. But all joking aside, this is a fantastic video. A truly brilliant performance.

I love this so much...I learned it and then listened to it like 100 times and played along...I can never listen to too much of Bon Iver..my god

The Current.. Oh my days, I found this channel today and i love live shows and all my favorite songs just seem to be here, your channel is beast, thankyou!

This song saved my life and mad me more calm

He can hold a tune in a weird cat wailing way but his guitar work is so depressing and unimaginative. Chords a 6 year old can play, no bridge or hook, no real oomph or despair in the sound or lyrics. Just grubby bearded 40 something with a hat on indoors because he hasn't washed his hair in 3 years.

Everything is agreeable, the chords are fairly simple and this song isn't complicated at all, but no despair? Bon Iver (Justin Vernon), delivers that sense of misery and despair in the greatest way an artist can. I was trying to search for an album like For Emma Forever Ago for... forever, but never found something as unique and as magnificent. If you could suggest me something, or someone who delivers pain and despair better than this man, I'll be in your debt for life.
