Okay so, my fellow Bon Ivers fans
First off, this video is AWKWARD. Think about it, a man of music is sitting a room with a audience of 4 people who are recording him? ugh. They all are sitting uncomfortably, and towards the end the guy loosens up a bit and actually shows interest. Justin Vernon is always tricking my mind with his voice, if you listen and I mean l i s t e n then you'll see how much his voice changes and how his facial expressions are showing that he wants to be recognised for the sound that is coming out of his mouth too. So he switches off.
Although I feel this is tells a different story in each paragraph
i feel that, in this song he is telling of a battle, (either with a relationship, drugs, etc.) that he went through. In most of the song I think the enemy he is talking about is his high voice which is most of the song, and theres his low voice that is some of the time and when it does sing, it's ised in a defensive way. I can tell in his emotions, when he sings in the video in some parts.
then he uses the F word, so obscurely and it's really shocking but in a weird way...it works, really well too. It keeps me interested until "tear on, tail on. take all on the wind on" and it makes me really see what he is talking about ALMOST. I feel he's saying tag along, or something (like relationship...drugs) and then it takes all but then he goes into something totally different while he's singing so I can't understand at all
this is why I like him
but this video doesn't make me love him, like I usually am towards his work but I'll never stop listening and learning about his music...but honestly if you're still reading this and you love Bon Iver, I don't think he's coming back to make music for a long time...a "long while". When he does it's either going to be completely amazing or creepy. He's interesting. I wish I knew more about him when I went to his concert (it wasn't JUST a concert tho..my gosh) because I would have loved my experience more.
He is kind of tense and I KNOW he plays so much more comfortable in his own skin and environment (not being recorded or etc) and since he is only semi famous he is still not used to the public attention and what not so he's tense but definitely super different.
"so ready for us
so ready for us
a creature fear"
AND THEN IT ENDS, no talk or emotion or anything & it's all because of RECORDINGS. Now I didn't get to see the originals peoples actions directly after the song...or his for a matter! Now they are going to be delayed responded where people had to have time to think over. Ridiculous.
I bet Justin Vernon went home and was like "this is not my crowd of people"
hmmm
technology ruins things

Well that was two totally different thoughts. Hmm it's 4am, and I'm in Jennas house.
