This man never ceases to amaze me... he was at the height of his mainstream career here with so much spotlight attention and was getting on covers of magazines, getting booked on jimmy fallon and even touring all over... and he walked away from all of it because he knew the corrupt nature of the music industry and with no hesitation he let it all go, because being a genuine artist was more important then fame and fortune. I love you Justin, you inspire me everyday. :-)
Allow me to clear up a couple of things. He is marginally talented and I can't hum nor remember a single song. Where are the BeeGees when you need them?
in a pitchfork interview he said he doesnt give a shit how you pronounce it, and there isnt really a right way to do it since its not an actual word but the misspelling of a french word. So, it is technically not wrong.
"Bon hiver" means "good winter" in French. It is often said at the first snowfall of the year and was used in an episode of the tv show Northern Exposure. From what I understand, this is where Justin got the name from and why the band played Northern Exposure's theme song as he walked out to the interview.
@@EmilyRose1 She was in a band called "Mount Vernon" with Justin when they were in high school. She was a real person and she was intimate with him until about a year before he made the debut album.
what's so ironic is that Matt Boomer is on set and is sitting beside Justin. when i consider that the first time i heard Bon Iver was on the show Chuck where Matt Boomer played Bryce Larkin.
I don’t like how jimmy is joking about his depression because i did that myself and I never knew how bad it was until now so Im going to stop taking it lightly
The house band is playing the the title track from the 90s CBS tv show, Northern Exposure. There was an episode from that show called Bon Iver. (good winter)
This guy needs to release a new album soon so I can see him back on Fallon. Also, snl would be nice. I'd like to see him confront Justin Timberlake on his impression.
He references both in the same interview when he got asked that question. Emma was a real girl that Justin was intimate with wayyy back in the day, however he concludes that same quote by saying Emma is a pain in your life you can't forget and that's what the album is about.
Jimmy Fallon's a nice guy and all, but he inserts way too much of himself into the interview. Actually, it might be a mistake to call it an interview because he hardly lets Justin get a word in edgewise. And Jimmy does this constantly, with every guest on his show.
Wish all late night hosts talked with their musical guests and not just give them time to play a song. We know their music, it’s nice to get to know the artist as well.
jspqmcn That's crazy. I've been pronouncing it wrong this whole time. I've even gotten some of my friends into Bon Iver, and I've pronounced it wrong to them. I had no clue.
this is the 3rd time i’ve heard someone with a falsetto who’s singing voice ascends to the heavens, but their speaking voice drops to the floor edit: coming back to say that it’s to be expected, but it still sounds really weird
This is exactly how NOT to interview someone!!! Justin Vernon is an exceptional artist and instead of treating the audience to an education, Jimmy Fallon interrupts, misleads and generally makes the whole interaction about himself! I was disappointed watching this! Just to be clear.... Justin Vernon is a god and suffered Jimmy Fallon with dignity!!!!!
where in the fuck is the live performance from when JV sat in the ROots on the old Fallon?! It's a couple of the best performances of all time and it's been scrubbed from the internet!! If anyone has it on a hard drive I'll pay you for it!!
One of the few times I saw jimmy being real in an interview, since he plays and likes music he was very natural here. Most other times he tries too hard to be cool and fails, with lots of forced laughs.

Most of this interview was just Fallon blabbering on about whatever, with Justin occasionally pitching in with a clever remark. Still great, nonetheless.
I thought he was from iceland or some nordic country. I first heard holocene on a video of some guy forging an axe head in some cold, snowy place, then i saw the video with that boy in the cabin out in the middle of nowhere, and bon iver looks like a nordic name, so my bubble was burst when i founrd out he's just a 'murcan musician.
tomaf Hes probably got some scandinavian in him based on where hes from. But why does it matter where an artist is from as long as the music is good? Other than to make it 'exotic'
