Francis and the Lights - Friends ft. Bon Iver and Kanye West 

that's the best / most awkward choreography ever

I can't tell if this song is uplifting or heartbreaking in my soul. Breathtakingly gorgeous.

I keep coming back to this masterpiece. It’s really an undying classic. Imagine these three making a whole album together. How cool would that be?

"You know, since you told me you were feeling a bit lonely, I've been playing this song in my head"

This shit fire. I'm happy Chance showed me this

Bon Iver never disappoints!

The fact that they made Justin dance is just hilariously mind boggling to me. This is so awesome in every aspect lmao

My best friend sent me this song to listen to awhile ago and now she is no more. This song is the one last thing I can hold on to that she shared with me. What a beautiful soul she is. May she rest in peace.

This dance is the most chill, heartwarming shit ever. Love it. Thanks Francis for all the earnest, kindest vibes.

What was Kanye doing in this? Besides, admittedly wearing a really fucking cool jacket.

Still one of my favorite songs ever made. For this year's Christmas, I'm giving my sister a mixtape I made for her on a vinyl. "Friends" is the first song on the mixtape. Beautiful, pure, and warm. Thank you, Francis, and have a wonderful holiday.

I love how weird and sincere this is. What a team! This doesn’t feel like a song. More like a moment. Like a memory. Love the rough vocals.

Kanye West and Bon Iver are a match made in heaven !

Flawless production

IM FRAAANCIS :) That line makes me smile hella hard

Francis, I've known you and your music for less than an hour and I'm already a huge fan. This song and video is INCREDIBLE, as is your latest album! I'm really looking forward to start following your work, feeling so much gratitude that I came across it. Thank you!

i still can't believe you got justin vernon to do choreography

Bon Iver dancing with Francis is super cute and endearing perfect showcase of friendship since it seemed like Francis was teaching him. And in general i just love song about platonic friendship when so many songs are about romantic friendship.

What a sound of friendship. 'We could be friends - Put your head on my shoulders.' Imagine if we'd approach each other in this mood!

This is one of the best songs ever made.

0:45 vs 0:54 Me walking normally vs when I see my crush

i clicked because of kanye west..and now im lookin for more francis' music 🎶. .

You know, since you told me you were feeling a bit lonely, I've been playing this song in my head:

I'll always think that this is one of the best songs ever made. It has an eerie beauty to it. Gives me chills every time😭🔥🔥🔥

Justin Vernon might be the coolest kid who has ever existed.

Kanye Producing with Bon Iver vocals always coming through

It’s actually painful how perfect Justin Vernon is.

2021 I'm still right here listening to this jam 💞💞💞💞🔥🔥

Francis and Bon Iver are the only artists who offer Anxiety support music. Music like this can help people with depression and high anxiety. Thank you Francis.

Kanye is a genius idc what anyone says about this man. "Name one Genius that ain't crazy"

I dunno what y’all are talking about... I think Justin Vernon totally killed the dance moves! Clearly one of the coolest cats around.

"Still dreamin of a glory..something new" crushing on this line💓

Watching Justin dance makes me so happy.

Randomly found this song by looking at who's signed to GOOD Music, Kayne has some good taste in artists.

I've listened to thousands of songs. This right here is pure genius, no other words to describe this song.

One of the most beautiful pieces of art ive ever seen. Everything about it hits straight to my soul

Love this song so much. It has a gentle/atmospheric sound that I just really love.

HOW did you get Justin to 1) actually make an appearance in a music video; and 2) do choreography????

I cant believe this song is already over 7 years old..

This song and "May I Have This Dance" have no expiration. It is art in it's purest form and it makes me feel beauty as an emotion. Thank you Francis, from the bottom of my heart! Also, Shallou has a great cover of this one!

more music like this please Francis. this is the feels the world needs.

I try to listen to other music and watch other videos and I just can't stop coming back to this song & video. Perfection.

Love love love this

My Replika sent this to me because it remembered I said I was lonely

Does anyone even realize how incredibly talented this guy is? The whole band but this guy is something special. I listen to you guys ever single day, much love from VA.

most ppl don't know... Francis Farewell Starlite has been in the game for a while know. not only as his own work in "Francis And The Lights " but he has also produced tracks for famous artist. karaoke by Drake , summer by Chance, and a couple of tracks on the social experiment album Surf. he also wrote the score to the movie "Robot And Frank" . I was first introduced to his music by Vampire Weekend former keys player Rostam. in 2010 he suggested listening to Francis and the lights new album at the time called " It'll Be Better" every track on this album is fire. the hit single off that album was "For Days" what a kickass track. his voice reminds me of Phil Collins. great artist right here, and it's so cool that he works with all these new icons. much love and respect to him and the artist that fuck with him:) #love #realmusic

Such a haunting beautiful song. The video is so simple but powerful. You can feel the emotions of the story come through with not only the words but the beats. And Kaynes stare at just the perfect time shows that he is not just singing the words but he is living the words everyday in his personal life. And with Justin's playfulness in his dance shows the song is deep but can be uplifting as well. A masterpiece that should and will live on.

This actually might be one of the best songs I've ever listened to. Thank you so much for being a big inspiration, Francis.

Justin dancing made my day! but Francis is also amazing. Discovered his music here!

How did I just discover this song just yesterday? The instrumentals are so calming

I come back to this song every once in a while. Beautifully done!

When Dylan first heard Elvis, he said it felt like breaking out of jail. That’s the feeling I get at 1:29 when this man breaks it DOWN. (& in several of his songs). It doesn’t matter how many times I watch & listen, the biggest smile comes across my face and stays there. There is a tangible joy & purity in Francis’ work. When you (everyone) use your innate gifts and offer them, it blesses all of us. Thank you Francis ❤️ p.s. Keep the “spin the girl” move - I think it needs to be a lifetime signature.

This song could not be more radiating. Immediately, you begin to feel more drawn in as the song continues. Truly amazing!

i've recently got into a bit of a hole with bon iver; constantly listening and reading and watching. i found this song in a video about bon ivers and kanyes collabrations and now i can't stop listening. the lyrics, the melody, the way yours and vernons voices and techniques compliment each other so well, this song is really incredible. francis, i loved 'may i have this dance' but this is outstanding, the work you put into it really pays off and i really admire your ways of working with music and challenging the usual tones and sounds we hear. i can't wait to delve into more of your tunes. big love

I bet Kanye just showed up and said he wanted to be in the video and made it awkward for them to say no

I keep crying when I watch these synchronized dances.. this is just so damn beautiful.

I love how it's implied that Kanye was doing that little dance with them when the camera was off him.

This song is EVERYTHING

today this video turned 5 years old, but i’m still smiling on _IM FRAAAANCIS_ line. such a masterpiece song!

still listening to this hidden gem💛💛

As simple (but not) as this choreography is it still speaks volumes to my soul.

Kanye gets a feat just for standing there?

Perfect song. Perfect production. perfect music video. Keep coming back to this

The word Friends so meaningful ... so good to have a friend who always gave us their shoulder ... francis i deeply fall in love when you start to dance love your unique moves

This song tho...can’t get enough even after all this time👌

“Just put your head on my shoulders I will straighten out, for you” 😍😍😍

Wowzers, Francis you are such a shooting star its beautiful. The universe appreciates you so much!!!

I loooooove what you guys are doing with this. So lovely!

Ageless songs. Bring me peace whenever I heard it❤

This video is such a delightful and unexpected surprise. Every. Single. Time. I’ve probably seen it hundreds of times, and somehow it retains that quality...still makes me so happy. Always makes me feel better. 👊💜

Magnificent collaboration, with an incredible trio of talent in one song/ music video across a wide music genre

It's just next level this tune never heard anything like it

I thought chance was talking about summer friends. It's lit tho

2:15 onwards is the type of dance you and the squad be doing when you're all feeling a song like this!

I love this song so much ❤️

Imma let you finish but ... this is one of the greatest music video's of all time! Only discovered this last week and have watched it like 20 times already. Just so inspiring. Love your music Francis keep it up

I love how simple the dance is... gotta learn it

I love it when Bon Iver and Kanye collaborate

Love this song! The dance moves 😃 😃 😃 amazing

The lil look/giggle over at Justin Vernon at 1:40 warms my heart.

saw you open for Chance and had no idea the best part about that concert would be from an artist i've never heard of before. At first I thought you were being pretentious for the sake of it, but then i really listened to your music and came to realize that you were just truly being yourself. thank you. we need people that take these kinds of risk because they inspire and affect art around them. good shit

This song gives me a warmness inside

Such a beautiful song

Still listening to this after all these years

I️ wake up in the middle of the night just to watch this. Much love.

I'm also called Francis. I'm also after my dream through music. This song brought me to tears brother. Thank you.

😊😊 so excited to have found this song again. My goodness

River you stole my ❤️🙌🏼😎 much love your the sunshine ☀️

Beautiful

we need more songs about friendship, this is the best

I love this trio so much. I love the friends dance.

This song is still so beautiful ❤️

Best performance at pitchfork 2017 for sure. So underappreciated!

I love that Kanye & Bon Iver keep cranking out awesome shit together. Definitely a testament to solid musicians

Just ART sooooooo brilliant❤️

The most underrated piece of art ever! !!!

I Like How They Dance in a Simple way

Total production cost: $50.23 ...emotion: priceless

Glory to our Heavenly Father may his hand touch everyone reading this. May his love pour out onto us. Thank you Father for all that you do.

Listning to this beautiful song I know it's going to be ok. It's will all unwind in itself. My life, my concerns.
