there is a deeper spirit to this song. moving through acute grief, I listened to this song for two days as it was the only thing I could tolerate. Why? That’s the mystery.
I feel like everytime I find a new Justin Vernon song it's like the universe is telling me I'm on the right path and I'm doing the right thing while it's okay when things feels bad at times. His voice and compositions are so reassuring and soothing. What a gem!
The hills speaking softly to brag The rain is so quiet it's sad In liberty it rains so loud we can't hear Its so hard to see outside when it rains down here The arches hold together St. Louis And the mighty Mississippi splits right through us Before my arches rebuild, they must have a song But I can't proceed until the rain is gone Blue grey background on those moss green pines Heavy grown raindrops clinging to the electrical lines Floating in an atmosphere of truth and hidden lies Sometimes out here, I feel like my heroes can save my life Through the window of this (ricket) rail car And I see the world scene by scene The silver mountains and blue streams I will only ever smell the train steam We hear Louis Armstrong play his horn on the shortwave radio His sound breaks my heart with a stone in my throat Like a sword through a heart, leaking tears onto the ground So hard to see when it rains down here Alone, is where I been leading to be So I, just been sailing the seas The wind can blow me wherever it needs to take me The skipper taunts the sky Thunder and waves crashing into the side It will never break him, it will never save him
@@ellenchen9719 I am so proud to live a couple hours from where he grew up. Never expected such a transcendent talent to come out of Wisconsin like him
I remember when I was born I looked to my right and there he was - Justin Vernon. He slapped my ass to make me cry and then just left. Now in my adulthood Justin Vernon still slaps my ass emotionally through music.
Justin's voice is sun through the clouds here. Through the trees....through the windows and walls. Through my eyelids I squeeze so hard so I don't see the world. This place is frightening and I wonder every day what Im doing here. What service do I provide...what does any of this mean? I don't feel like I belong at all.
You and me both, my friend. Along with many others. Almost everyone at some stage I’d say. Take solace in the fact that nearly everyone is as lost as you are. This way we’re made to live is not meant for what we are.
sorry for my lateness, but this man's music MUST BE REMEMBERED. This(and everything from Vernon) is like a cure for everyone's soul, even if I'm not depressed or anything. It's just...fck it...I can't express it...you heard it. You already know

The recent film "Land" with Robin Wright reminded me of this song. I wish I could go to a place like this. Sometimes you need to get away in order to get home. 💙
Wow beautiful song. I was 17 when this was released, young and completely daft. At that age I was listening to dance music and pop shite on the radio. 18 years later at 35 I find myself obsessed with Justin and Bon Iver etc.
This song helped my through some rough times, it's just so powerful and so honest. Since there aren't many covers of this song around, I thought I'd give it a go and just uploaded my rendition of this beautiful song. Feel free to listen to it and let me know what you think about it!
Omg I know that violinist is Julia McConahay. You two definitely need to collaborate again ASAP. You both are sooo amazing and have grown so much as artists since this recording!!!!! It would be cool to see what kind of magical music you would create today:-)
I feel like yesterday was when you left and today was when I realized you were the one and tomorrow is when I will feel release but tomorrow never comes it's just more of yesterday and today is a forever realization that today is forever...this message is brought to you thanks to Jack and Daniel!!!
Your actually ahead of your time thats why more people dont come here but i will shear i take comfort in your music like a home for a peace of my thoughts .
Sometimes, you will find peaces that doesn't exist for many. maybe it's a gift for those who searched and found. what ever it seems and means for them.
I love this.... I don't understand why more people have not seen this. It's not unusual for me to be late to the game but, hey, where is everyone else.
Entre la lluvia que azotaba las ventanas Me quede callado Inspirado Floreciendo como la primavera En este frió invierno Robo las perlas posadas en las rosas Rojo el cielo al igual que mi sangre Un puñal fructífero de mi ser Empapado mi corazón del llanto alegre que resonaba.. Así fue la mañana, llena de sueños y esperanzas.
I'm still convinced that the 1.2 million views are just the same 100 or so people listening to it over and over
You're not mistaken.
every hipster would love that idea
Je crois que tu as vraiment raison !!
456 fois ou 457 fois, or maybe more !!!
Best comment. I’ve listened for two days straight.😂
there is a deeper spirit to this song. moving through acute grief, I listened to this song for two days as it was the only thing I could tolerate. Why? That’s the mystery.
I play this song when I'm especially missing someone.
I feel like everytime I find a new Justin Vernon song it's like the universe is telling me I'm on the right path and I'm doing the right thing while it's okay when things feels bad at times. His voice and compositions are so reassuring and soothing. What a gem!
Yes! Very well put 😊
Oh, I know EXACTLY what you mean. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you.
💯
The moment you read on Reddit that Justin Vernon does’t remember this song. Hilarious. What a beautiful song.
I'm looking for guitar tabs please, GP file would be appreciated
@@gased7317 WOW, Thanks a lot for your help :)
The hills speaking softly to brag
The rain is so quiet it's sad
In liberty it rains so loud we can't hear
Its so hard to see outside when it rains down here
The arches hold together St. Louis
And the mighty Mississippi splits right through us
Before my arches rebuild, they must have a song
But I can't proceed until the rain is gone
Blue grey background on those moss green pines
Heavy grown raindrops clinging to the electrical lines
Floating in an atmosphere of truth and hidden lies
Sometimes out here, I feel like my heroes can save my life
Through the window of this (ricket) rail car
And I see the world scene by scene
The silver mountains and blue streams
I will only ever smell the train steam
We hear Louis Armstrong play his horn on the shortwave radio
His sound breaks my heart with a stone in my throat
Like a sword through a heart, leaking tears onto the ground
So hard to see when it rains down here
Alone, is where I been leading to be
So I, just been sailing the seas
The wind can blow me wherever it needs to take me
The skipper taunts the sky
Thunder and waves crashing into the side
It will never break him, it will never save him
Justin Vernon is one of the greatest artists weve ever had the privilege of listening to. we are so lucky to have been born alongside him.
@@ellenchen9719 I am so proud to live a couple hours from where he grew up. Never expected such a transcendent talent to come out of Wisconsin like him
I💙him. Nurturing my soul 🤗
I remember when I was born I looked to my right and there he was - Justin Vernon. He slapped my ass to make me cry and then just left.
Now in my adulthood Justin Vernon still slaps my ass emotionally through music.
Yeah I got to see him live in Germany last year. Undescribable. Never thought this would ever happen.
Facts
Justin's voice is sun through the clouds here. Through the trees....through the windows and walls. Through my eyelids I squeeze so hard so I don't see the world. This place is frightening and I wonder every day what Im doing here. What service do I provide...what does any of this mean? I don't feel like I belong at all.
You and me both, my friend. Along with many others. Almost everyone at some stage I’d say. Take solace in the fact that nearly everyone is as lost as you are. This way we’re made to live is not meant for what we are.
I want to live forever in this song.
It's so indie that it's not even on Spotify. Jokes aside why doesn't Justin puts this on Spotify, I want to make it part of my playlist.
Wisconsin folk music at its finest right here

One of, if not the most beautiful songs I've ever heard
That moment you think you've heard every Bon Iver / Justin Vernon song and then you find this :)
exactly what I was thinking. cannot describe the feeling of discovering another one of his...
true
thought the same!
Jonathan Bean We wait for every crumb..
facts
I'm 7 years late to discover this masterpiece
20 actually. It was released in 2001
A special piece of music - JV/Bon Iver has been good therapy for me during a really crappy year.
Everything this guy does is gold. His work is the best backdrop for introspection and long drives, which seem to go hand in hand
Stumbled across him…I can’t stop listening ❤️ beautiful music!
15years, at 32years. I find beauty. Life’s a complex gift.
I love when he sings in his lower register
yeah he tend to do falsetto
Me too
Why am I only just discovering this absolute gem?! This is so wonderfully rich and beautiful.
Fuuuuuuuck me up, this is one of the most beautiful bits of sound and beating heart that has ever blessed these ears.
holy shit. i just found this. this is just stunning.
Verse 1]
The hills speaking softly to brag
The rain is so quiet it's sad
In liberty it rains so loud we can't hear
It's so hard to see outside when it rains down here

[Verse 4]
Through the window of this rickety rail car
And I see the world scene by scene
The silver mountains and blue streams
I will only ever smell the train steam
[Verse 5]
We hear Louis Armstrong play his horn on the shortwave radio
His sound breaks my heart with a stone in my throat
Like a sword through a heart, leaking tears onto the ground
So hard to see when it rains down here
Beautiful
Woah, amazing lyrics
Sometimes out here, I feel like my heroes can save my life
I have chills
[Verse 6]
Alone, is where I been leading to be
So I, just been sailing the seas
The wind can blow me wherever it needs to take me
The skipper taunts the sky
Thunder and waves crashing into the side
It will never break him, it will never save him
i cant handle the emotions justin vernon transmittes through his songs... thanks for all of the great moments i had accompanied by your music justin!
Den kannte ich noch gar nicht. Großartig
17years late to discover this song. Better later than never.
I'm thinking the same over here. Still wish I would have found it sooner though!
try being 19 years late lol
how about 20 years lol
20 years here too... Damn wtf
You know when it’s 9 minutes long it’s gonna be more than good, it’s gonna take you on a journey and show you what good is.
Absolutely love that piano ending. Awesome stuff.
Why is this not found on Spotify or Apple? It’s sooo damn good
Ive tried to contact justin many times regarding this issue😂😂😂
The recent film "Land" with Robin Wright reminded me of this song. I wish I could go to a place like this. Sometimes you need to get away in order to get home. 💙
Wow beautiful song. I was 17 when this was released, young and completely daft. At that age I was listening to dance music and pop shite on the radio. 18 years later at 35 I find myself obsessed with Justin and Bon Iver etc.
wow youre so deep and mature now.
It’s ok to listen to pop and dance music every now and again if you like it. Same w this type of music
Holy shiit. This. Is. A. Masterpiece! Stunning doesn't do it justice. Wow.
i just want to have a beer with this guy summer time
Sam Hamdi that would be incredible.
Me too
So I, just been sailing the seas
The wind can blow me wherever it needs to take me...✨
This song helped my through some rough times, it's just so powerful and so honest.
Since there aren't many covers of this song around, I thought I'd give it a go and just uploaded my rendition of this beautiful song. Feel free to listen to it and let me know what you think about it!
where has this been all my life
I still cant believe this came out when i was in 6th grade and im 28 finding this
damn this song is great
The piano ending is absolutely mesmerising. There's something about it that has similarities to I can't make you love me.
I agree! Probably because Justin Vernon is a big Bruce Hornsby fan and is influenced by him!
very similar to his cover of "I can't make you love me"
I totally hear it its that one fast part
Yep, they're called ornaments. Bruce Hornsby was really good at using ornaments in his piano work.
Definitely has shades of 'Beth/Rest' at the end, and the Bruce Hornsby influence.
So beautiful and therapeutic
It's amazing how beautiful things can be in life. This is one of them.
Justin Vernon...probably the most gifted folk songwriter in the 00s so far... If we were just 'that simple' to frame him in the 'Folk Genre' of course
might i add ben howard to that list
I love Vernon, but I think you might have to give that distinction to Gregory Alan Isakov.
Evan MS goodness yes. You must see him live if you haven’t yet. He is quickly growing in popularity but not nearly fast enough to match his talent.
Evan MS The only close comparison would be Gregory Alan Isakov
Ben Howard is superb too
3 times in a amazed trance listening at justin Vernon . Bon iver is not enough to surprise his listeners. Not to forget his other projects ❤
Beautiful is the only word to describe this song.
The pride of Eau Claire wi!
So true! Hometown hero for those of us from the area :)
Omg I know that violinist is Julia McConahay. You two definitely need to collaborate again ASAP. You both are sooo amazing and have grown so much as artists since this recording!!!!! It would be cool to see what kind of magical music you would create today:-)
THIS IS the best song from Justin.
Just perfect!
And just when I thought I'd discovered everything Justin has done. . .
9 minute of pure paradise for the ears
That ending gets me everytime :)
What a wonderful song..
If that piano portion doesn't make you question all sorts of things about life and yourself, then I don't know what to tell you.
Feelings are overflowing
Man..😔
I feel like yesterday was when you left and today was when I realized you were the one and tomorrow is when I will feel release but tomorrow never comes it's just more of yesterday and today is a forever realization that today is forever...this message is brought to you thanks to Jack and Daniel!!!
favorite post malone song
Balling my eyes out. 😇
I love this
Shades of I cant make u love me coming in at the end there.
This makes me think of my beautiful girl and what I’m going miss when I leave home.. 💔
Sounds like you're going for long?
Your actually ahead of your time thats why more people dont come here but i will shear i take comfort in your music like a home for a peace of my thoughts .
Sometimes, you will find peaces that doesn't exist for many. maybe it's a gift for those who searched and found. what ever it seems and means for them.
So glad I found this
Never heard this guy before today. wow
Oh my god... This is beautiful, man
Grandmother Productions I know I’m 8 months past, however, I could not agree more... beautiful is the only appropriate description.
I love this.... I don't understand why more people have not seen this. It's not unusual for me to be late to the game but, hey, where is everyone else.
I just found it also, shame you were late to the game... there was lots of controversy.
Always controversy.
what was the controversy? just interested.
Chaz Merritt
Honestly I'm curious too.
ParadoxKismet I was merely being facetious. Sorry to disappoint the masses.
Beautiful I totally get it
triste q no este la traduccion de esta cancion hermosa
This should be our new national anthem
Where did this come from and why didn't I know about it.
Melhor artista do mundo 💕
Found you by accident!! Now I'm not leaving!! Beautiful Song!!
You can hear the Bruce Hornsby influence all throughout that piano part
Sounds like this might be where Beth/rest started as well
wow vernon......
Es increíble cierto???
wonderful!
How have I not heard this one yet
Entre la lluvia que azotaba las ventanas
Me quede callado
Inspirado
Floreciendo como la primavera
En este frió invierno
Robo las perlas posadas en las rosas
Rojo el cielo al igual que mi sangre
Un puñal fructífero de mi ser
Empapado mi corazón del llanto alegre que resonaba..
Así fue la mañana, llena de sueños y esperanzas.
I'm late for a meeting. I'm going to be even later now.
This is really beautiful.
Amazing
JV you are brilliant
Esse homem me surpreende sempre. Eu amo muito você Justin Vernon. ❤
When the clouds part my dear I will be there to wipe your tears away. I will never not be there for you my love.
One question remains; when (if ever) will the damn clouds part, my dear.....?
What is this from?
@@Gabrielb4551 Are you asking about the song or what I said? I'm sorry I don't understand your question.
@@PeteplaysaBACH I’m asking where you found these words. Are they from a song?
@@Gabrielb4551 no from a poem I wrote a few years ago. I will have to look for the poem in my computer. Hope you liked it.
My sentiment exactly!
thank you for this song, i didn't know that exists. never felt more like it than i am now.
Thanks for uploaded this song man, I really love it!
