Justin Vernon says "Beth" represents paradise. He says the song is about a place where you can be in paradise forever. Vernon: "It just sounds like forever. It's kind of like timeless"
"Beth/Rest" is that place you get to be in for the rest of your life," Vernonon says. Vernonon added that the song prophesied his coming relationship with alt-country singer, Kathleen Edwards. "I'm in a really good, loving relationship right now. It's really rewarding," he says.
Bon Iver's second album finds them stepping into '80s AOR territory. Justin Vernon said he didn't want to dismiss sounds just because some people might not think they were cool. He said: "It's easy to take yourself too seriously". The singer says the song is "the last thing I want you to go away with" He doesn't want it to be some '80s throwback song.
Justin Vernon sees the album as one coherent piece. "Perth" represents the beginning or birth and "Beth/Rest" the ending or death. Q magazine asked Justin Vernon how the many critical comparisons between this song and '80s Phil Collins went down with him? He replied “I’m definitely referencing some timbres from that era, but not necessarily him!”.
Justin Vernon directed the song's music video with cinematographer Dan Huiting. The visual features two angelic lovers in an ethereal wonderland. It was filmed in the woods that surround the band's studio in Wisconsin.
