Justin Vernon of Bon Iver (with Chris Thile, Aoife O'Donovan, Rich Dworsky, Mike Elizondo, Alex Hargreaves, Julian Lage, and Ted Poor) sings "29 #Strafford APTS" on our December 9, 2017 show Website: boniver.org/ www.prairiehom...
Why does EVERYONE feel the need to comment on this when they see it? It's out of his control, why does it need to be pointed out? I really don't get it. How is it not body shaming?
This was the first time I ever heard Bon Iver. I was listening to kpfk on my way home from work and this part of the show came over the radio as I tuned in. I pulled the car over and just sat there and listened and was super grateful to be alive. It really is the little things that make life worth it all.
Same thing happened to me. He was interviewed for his first album on NPR and I had to pull over and finish listening. I was in the middle of nasty divorce. Justin (and Neko Case) held my hand til I got to the other side of it.
Sharing smoke In the stair up off the hot car lot The sun shined hard on the video spot, hm 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 out You're bent prize Canonize Canonize Motor up and yeah, you're own, ooh And yeah, you're on your own (Marijuana has you talkin') 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
Heard the official audio of this song dozens of times. Then, I found this video of Bon Iver singing it live. I felt the same goosebumps, just like when I first heard the song. Bon Iver is a musical genius.
I feel completely incapable of writing ANYTHING that approximates the peace and hopefulness I get from Justin/Bon Iver's work. Legit have struggled with anxiety and depression since I was nine and this feeling is what I hope everlasting peace feels like.
with this half-bold head he looks so real and so true. on the other hand we have unrealistic looking pop-stars. though they all together don't worth as much as this one man.
The quality of the audio on these PHC videos makes them the BEST live performances of so many artists! I searched through all of the live shows of Bon Iver doing this song and was waiting and waiting for this one to be posted!! Thank you, Chris, for making this possible for us radio listeners to get to see the best parts of your shows!
3 1/2 months to go, Bon Iver in Newport Ky, June 21st. My first concert was Jimi Hendrix in 1970, and now 50 or so concerts later, Bon Iver!! Excited, fulfilled, COMPLETE, I simply can’t contain myself
it's crazy, we constantly get told that we have to look a certain way to be seen but I'm looking at Justin now and I know that that's false. He's beautiful.
amazing to hear this version without any electronic effects. I love the album version, but it's cool to let the song stand entirely on its own like this.
This is my favourite song. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a song as good as this one. With all the different versions it just makes it that much better. It’s gotten me through a lot
His lyrics are less focused on meaning more so on feeling. They pull a feeling out of you and it’s abstract. Some people will shit on this style of songwriting but it’s a stream of consciousness thing that not everyone will understand or comprehend and that’s okay.
I think his songs definitely mean things and there's a lot of intention there but he equally focuses on the texture of the words and what sounds musical.@@dkes53
Incredible song! I always get goosebumps, no matter how many times I hear the song. For me, the moment starting at 3:20 is simply magical! And I make my self escape Oh, the multitude of other Such a moving way of singing!
Yup even his lean back position at 1:25 and the other parts while trying to do 2nd voice also made me cringe so hard. People faking themselves trying to look cool is so lame.

Maximus Challenger I think so. He always seems to use it in this song, even if he hasn’t on others from the same set. At least that is the impression I’ve got.
At 0:47 the word "spot" isn't really a note, it's more spoken for effect. If he was using pitch correction I don't think he'd be able to do that without it being retuned to a key note. Nor would he be able to do that kind of out of tune inflection on "seems" at 1:07 etc
