Donated blood for the first time in my life last week. I was humming this song the entire time. I didn't meet anyone, I wasn't stuck out in a car. I wasn't chewing on a candy bar, I didn't kiss anyone while the moon went a crescent. But at least I helped someone who needed A+ blood.
I was at this show. It my friend Scott's first Bon Iver show. He passed away two weeks ago. I wish he was able to see more . I just want to look at him be transformed by this music one more time. Love ya buddy.
Well, I met you at the blood bank We were looking at the bags Wondering if any of the colors Matched any of the names we knew on the tags You said, "See look there, that's yours Stacked on top with your brother's See how they resemble one another Even in their plastic little covers" And I said I know it well That secret that you knew But you don't know how to tell It fucks with your honor And it teases your head But you know that it's good, girl 'Cause it's running you with red Then the snow started falling We were stuck out in your car You were rubbing both my hands Chewing on a candy bar You said, "Ain't this just like the present To be showing up like this?" As a moon waned to crescent We started to kiss And I said I know it well That secret that we know That we don't know how to tell I'm in love with your honor I'm in love with your cheeks What's that noise up the stairs babe? Is that Christmas morning creaks? And I know it well I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it well And I know it wel
I saw this song on RU-vid years ago, but it was a vid of someone driving to some unknown destination. It has hooked me ever since, and this song along with their Holocene anthem, remain as some of the most moving songs I have ever heard!
SAME! I watched a video of someone driving in the snow listening to this when I was around 13-15ish idk (I’m 26 now) it felt oddly nostalgic even back then.
@@Keithjames153 This is the version I had in mind in my original post. Still strangely haunting even after all these years ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-k-BZ0D92mtU.html&ab_channel=sklyrovka
Too bad they messed it up by badly stitching out the "fuck" it t of "It fucks with your honor", and it always throws me off. Amazing performance, terrible and unnecessary edit.
✨So moving to come across this, electrifying live performance of one of my personal favorites from Bon Iver. Hitting me in my feelings this emotional night....😢😔😢 #Nightcap
2:13 Since it bothers me for quite some time already: It's meant to be "It FUCKS with your honor". Well now that I've said it, could we have it in the video as well and not have this skipped glitch in the matrix? It's just unnecessary. Best version of this song in my opinion BTW. ❤
What a song, what a grand finale. If I had been standing in the crowd, I would have doused myself with beer, naked and dancing ecstatically. But look at this dismal crowd at minute 6 and 5 seconds. There they stand. Silent, with hands folded. You poor souls. 🤔
In response to a previous comment: probably not allowed to say the word “ Fornication Upon Consent King “ aka FUCK on a public stage is why that lyric was omitted by the performing artist !! Song fuckin rocks
Right!? They didn't even fucking mute the word, they just skipped over the full fucking second. Far more fucking offensive to mutilate the timing and rhythm of the song.
