My husband and I got married almost four years ago today. When we pulled into our driveway (it was our first night staying at new house together) he had put this on repeat on the record player. So when we opened the front door, he carried me over the threshold, and all I can remember is how beautiful a time it was. This song holds those memories, and I always find myself coming back to visit this beautiful song.
Stephanie Ney are you still married
I like your story.
Thank you!! We are still married- celebrating our 7th year anniversary on August 10th! Like I said 3 years ago, I always find my way back to this song. along with all the other Bon Iver songs! Thank goodness they released a new song today, right? Time to make some more memories!
@@Rosieposielovesplants Cherish these memories dear Stephanie, honestly, they go by so quickly.
If he choosed Bon Iver - Roselyn damn
I think there is something special about people who truly love bon iver.
I agree! Dermot Kennedys inspiration for Bon Iver is what has brought me here, and Dermot's music is truly very special!! 💯
“‘Towers’ is the name of the dormitory that I lived in in college; it’s made up of these two towers - North and South - my girlfriend lived in one and I lived in the other. It’s about falling in love, but also about what happens when you’ve long fallen out of love and those reminders are still there. You drive by them, these two buildings, and you look, and you realize that we really built that up. That we really built that love into these things, and for a long time afterward looking at them really made me feel sad; to see these empty buildings that I don’t go in to anymore. But then, as time goes on, they start to become kind of joyous in their own way: you can look at them and think ‘that love was great and these buildings still stand tall’. But there’s also an element of the fact that they’re just buildings - they’re gonna fall down one day, and they’re not that important because there’s new love in your life and you’ve got to break things down that get built up.”
- Justin Vernon
You had a girlfriend ? You gay?
What's wrong with you? Rodrick Davis
Nothing ? What's your problem
That's pretty cool. I went to the college with those towers he's speaking of, so I can envision it. Thanks for posting the quote.
Seth L. "by some justin guy" that justin guy is the guy that wrote/sang this song dude -_-
Bon Iver is a rare treasure. Each and every one of his songs puts me in a state of absolute bliss. It is not an ignorant bliss, either; I am very aware of all my troubles, but momentarily at peace with them. Thank you.
this is the greatest description of his music I've ever heard.
***** It's the best I could do to describe him with justice. :)
Mary James small correction, Bon Iver is a band not a person :)
Excuse me, it seems I was mistaken:) But it doesn't change much
Indeed the best description for this song. It's such a strange feeling, I've got some much on my mind but when listening to Bon Iver I feel, indeed, at peace with all my problems.
holocene and towers always took my soul into an imaginary place.
Holocene is a special, timeless gift. That video is a journey into the subconscious of men who used to be boys. Those that are still boys, won't get it.
You'll need that imaginary place more than ever these next few weeks.
Live at Bonnaroo was an amazing show years ago. Everyone found a spot, sat down and started hanging out like 45 mins before the show started.
I know nobody gonna scroll down for lyrics instead of watching
and wondering over that magnificently done video....
but if someone wants to go through lyrics after watching over video 100 of times
and wants to sync with Justin then here is the lyrics....... Enjoy.. ;)
For the love, I'd fallen on
In the swampy August dawn
What a mischief you would bring, young darling
When the onus is not all your own
When you're up for it before you've grown
Whoa-whoa
From the faun forever gone
In the towers of your honeycomb
I'd have tore your hair out just to climb back, darling
When you're filling out your only form
Can you tell that it's just ceremon'?
Now you've added up to what you're from
Whoa-whoa
Build your tether rain-out from your fragments
Break the sailor's table on your sacrum
Fuck the fiercest fables, I'm with Hagen
For the love, comes the burning young
From the liver, sweating through your tongue
Well, you're standing on my sternum
Don't you climb down, darling
Oh, the sermons are the first to rest
Smoke on Sundays when you're drunk and dressed
Out the hollows where the swallow nests
Whoa-whoa
Thanks dude
Thank You for this, it's so peaceful and calming it's hard to understand the lyrics
For the love, I'd fallen on
In the swampy august dawn
What a mischief you would bring young darling!
When the onus is not all your own
When you're up for it before you've grown
From the faun forever gone
In the towers of your honeycomb
I'd a tore your hair out just to climb back darling
When you're filling out your only form
Can you tell that it's just ceremon'
Now you've added up to what you're from
Build your tether rain-out from your fragments…
Break the sailor's table on your sacrum…
Fuck the fiercest fables, I'm with hagen
For the love, comes the burning young
From the liver, sweating through your tongue
Well, you're standing on my sternum don't you climb down, darling
Oh the sermons are the first to rest
Smoke on sundays when you're drunk and dressed
Out the hollows where the swallow nests
I'm so happy there's good music in this world.
Bro, don't you never heard about Manolo Kabezabolo?

Amen brother
I've been trying to explain to myself in a rational way what happens to me when I hear a piece of Bon Iver. I fail at all the time. The musicality and lyricism that I find in these pieces of art I find nowhere else. When I listen to Justin's songs and his parallel works I feel connected with forces much greater than me. I feel fragile, strong and exposed. And at the same time. How happy I am to know this work that has brought me so much joy since my adolescence. I find myself in the lines of each composition. This is beautiful. That is expression. This is meaningful production of art. Man, you rock. Thank you.
will never find the words ❤
bon iver ruthlessly tortures me then leaves me to die in a dark pit of emotion and self realization
"Towers" is the best Bon Iver song by far. I'm not saying that the others are bad, but this one is extremely deep, it makes me feel so sad and happy at the same time.
the same words❤️
Blood bank better

was your roommate named Roland or eddy or Susanna or even Jake?
hahaha I'm curious - this question is kinda outta left field haha - but no - why do you ask?
Thanks for posting this amazing quote I didn't know about. love you for this. you give me an enormous hint.
After reading this and as hard as it is to accept, I guess she was right.

Ta!
Parag Khara thank you :)
I can't get enough of Bon Iver. So earthy and chill. Very nice.
This song was with me through my most difficult and humbling moments. I still go back to it whenever I am down.
You're wasting your life if you don't listen to this type of music
it's you're*. (you(a)re) :)
They meant the second you're
no im not
Couldn't agree more Daisy!
^^exactly like bitches twerking in front of a music video, getting laid and all. they do it for the for they money. i mean like bon iver makes music that they want to make and that is one of the reasons why people should obviously listen to them.
Unpopular fact:
The little boy from Holocene has grown old and now he is this old man. 🌻💙
I always thought this as well.
I discovered this beautiful song over the summer. Soon after, my boyfriend left me (a blessing). I heard this song again and cried. Not because I was upset but because I was happy. Deep down inside, I knew everything was okay. I cant get enough of it. But the one thing that pops into my mind when I hear this, is my uncles house. The houses are few and far apart. The two things that have helped me the most. This song, and that house.
hello after nine years 🥺🤍
No matter what you are going through, Jesus makes life worth living! His love for us is infinitely deep.
I don’t know how to tell my family I really wish not to live long. My life hasn’t been exciting since I was born but I try to be grateful for every single moment of it. Grateful for people and experiences even sadder ones. But I fear I might grow sadder and sadder and not have more happy moments. But I want to leave this earth peacefully listening to this❤
how are you doing now? i sometimes feel the same and it hits hard, but i hope you understand that if you find something or someone that can help you see the beauty in even the simplest things, life will be a more pleasant experience ❤
I hope you are doing okay? Know you are so loved! There is something in this thing called life that is ment for you! Stay Strong, Much Love!! ❤
@@summitGreen I don’t know how I’m doing, some days I’m okay, some days I’m struggling. But I’m thankful for people like you, I hope your life gets better and easier
@@Kat_Catch_22 your response came at the right time. Thank you for your kind words,you have no idea how much it means to me . I’m going through therapy and trying my best to get the help needed. Thank you for reminding me that life’s for me.
@@henriettaadams444 it's not easy but know your not alone and you are very loved! One day at A time helps for me and also "this too shall pass" is another one that helps. Never give up! You are way loved and there truly are people who care! Just keep moving forward, or keep swimming, you got this beautiful!
I think what the VIDEO is trying to portray is that you live to see your dreams become your reality, and if you ever give up the ambitions that are most true to yourself, then you've given up what you live for.
No I think the video is about boating. Nice try though.
Rodrick Davis you have no imagination. Nice try, though.
Daniel Sullins Yes I do. Nice try though.
Daniel Sullins what are you smoking

This song will always remind me of a boy far along... we started the year of us in last August's swampy dawn. Both too young to know better, we were up for it before we've grown. And so it went on, with us drunk on Bon Iver and intoxicated by each others presence. The skinny love that lasted just for a year, beacuse even if we told each other to be, we weren't patient, kind, balanced or fine. So now it's over (we knew it might be over soon) and i'm singing a song for a lover of long ago.
Maybe it was all in my head, but I think someday my pain will mark you..
In my third year of college, I had just moved out of the hostels and into my own apartment. I was alone, as the semester hadn’t begun yet and most of my friends weren’t in town. This song came on around 2 in the morning as I was lying in bed, and it evoked this longing in me. For the first time in my life I felt this aching in my heart for a partner. About a year later I would meet my current girlfriend, and I played this song as we lay in bed together after our first date. This song will always hold a special place in my heart
Building Towers just to watch them fall apart in the end. Happens every single time in the love life of many including myself , What matters is to never give up on life and always keep trying, not before learning from your mistakes.
never a band made me feel that before. I love Bon Iver, thanks for exist
In nowadays is so difficult to find this type of music...
I guess people forgot how great this type of music is😳(I hope you don't )
When i think anout god i think abouut the tones of an angel unknown to my reality… you are a temporary glimpse into it. I miss the light and look inwards that your music mandates. Keep working , you help ❤
Someone listening to this amazing master piece today besides me? So healing in this times!!! Thanks!!
I can't begin to describe how beautiful this song is
this song makes me cry I don't know why. Bon Iver show nature and I love it. I want to go to journey, wherever, especially to mountains or sea
i love it really
good job Bon Iver
Come on to middle east you will see a lot of mountains that enemies of arab destroy it
you speak very good England
me too the beginning is very feelingfulish
Ikr it's basically a big metaphor if you look into it deeply
hello after six years 🥺🤍
OMG, I couldn't believe how this magnificently done video ends.
I never thought something so beautiful as this would have such a bizarre twist of fate.
I really did hate the ending.
OK, that's all I'm going to say on that.
The scenery is really astonishing and the photography is nothing short of Amazing. It makes you feel like you are part of it.
Great vibes through & through except for the very end.
Now the tune.
The love I have for this song, brought me here.
Bon Iver's 'Tower'. It's a well written, played, and produced piece of music.
Check out Bon Iver's 'Holocene' video. It's another video that was very well crafted. The scenery is provided by Beautiful Breath-taking, Ice Land!
Each person is a walking song. Our heartbeat, our breath, our laugh, our yells and screams all together tells a story that differs from person to person yet we can all relate to. That is why music has no race or religion, no age nor job. It is a universal house and anybody is invited inside. So wipe your feet and enter our house of spiritual communication and language and forget about everything for one second and let us take you on a journey.
This dude has descended from heaven let me tell you.
Bon Iver, thank you for giving real music. I feel fulfilled when I listen to you, thank you, thank you...
My daughter asked me to take her to this concert and they played this song last night. I was not a follower but now I am!
When I first heard it, I was drunk and in a moving car. It felt so good.
I love Bon Iver. I feel his music so deeply!
i don't man to be correcting but Bon Iver is the name of the band. Justin Vernon is the lead singer :)
It's been years since a song touched my soul this way. Thanks Bon Iver.
I was listening Syd Matters after watching upsidedown movie again,then a voice told me : did you forget about Bon Iver ?
I dont remember the last time or how I discovered years ago, but Im happy I rejoined the frequency that I had before I started drinking too much. Now I'm a father of 2 beautiful girl and I'll share this beautiful music with them this weekend.
i love these videos because they make me feel like the rest of the world doesn't exist inside them
3:40 my favorite musical moment
+Lauren Brink Diminished chord leading to key change of the verse, brilliantly executed!
Lauren Brink awesome!
agree
your music heals my heart, thank you ❤
You will see one day... may He have mercy on your soul my friend. The Lord does exist and He loves you more than you could ever imagine. I hope you realize this before you pass
I listen to this song whenever my husband is away and I miss him. I can feel him and our love through the music every time I listen, no matter how many times I listen, and no matter how far he is away. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this art.
Saudades from 2012. This song marks a memory from my past. It's part of a life soundtrack. Thanks Bon Iver.
CANT get enough of this song, i love Bon Iver.
So many memories.... I just love it!
This video,this music... Love Bon Iver and his songs!!!

The first time i saw this video, i thought that the man featured here was the same boy from the holocene video, just many years later when he's older. :) Love the song, video, Bon Iver...
That's my absolute favorite song of the band. There aren't words which could describe all the emotions which are coming by listening this song. I could cry, laugh and scream the lyrics - all at the same time!
it's amazing when music get in touch with your emotions in such a way 😊
hello after 4 years 🥺🤍
Your videos are all so inspiring and interesting! Thanks so much Justin and Co for making such beautiful music! Big fan!
Will forever be my favourite music of all time. Holds such a special place in my heart.
That is my brother Alex Raptis in the Video, filmed on the Washington State Coast.
Everyone becomes a brother when they are famous amirite
Quando a escuto, vem uma explosão de sentimentos inexplicáveis, e isso é incrível! Gratidão por ela existir, e por esse cantor incrível.

This was the first Bon Iver song i heard, from then on i've been addicted :) This will always be my favorite of theirs and i hope they get back together because their music is literally heaven.
I actually love the first minute, even though it's not really part of the song, it's just so calming. :')
Listening with Rainy Mood >_
this song is so melodically pleasing. melting away into my own melodic oblivion
Bon Iver's music is timeless!
music to heal your soul
Just saw Bon Iver tonight in Dublin, Ireland - what a genius. It was such an emotional gig for him and the audience.
spending time in Eau Claire in my youth, this song really hits home for me. sweet, sad, cryptic. i'm in love with the immense emotion i feel when i hear this song.
Bon iver, Brad Murphy, William Fitzsimmons xx
Why would anyone dilslike this? 295 broken hearts i'm guessing.
really nice scenery in the video! And beautiful music as always!
The simple coupling of the guitar riff and Justin's vocals inspires such a profound sense of reliving all of my pleasant firsts and it leaves me with a delicate optimism for the future, quietly invoking all I can become and how far I've come already.
When I listen to this song I remember the last day in my school😔
GUYYS WHAT IF THATS THE LITTLE BOY FROM HOLOCENE AND HE CAME BACK AS AN OLD MAN
+Ellen Turpin Entirely possible!! :O
+Ellen Turpin OMG *Trippin out my mind*
STOP IT RN
He used his stick (and many more) to make the towers.
Elle, Turpin, you're a genius
this songs helps me understand life, like, i dont even know anymore. it makes me feel so good, but so sad at the same time and i love it.
currently in quarantine at home in germany because of the corona virus may god protect my internet connection so that i can listen to this music
May there only be one "Bon" band from this day forth.
aw man, I was going to start a band called Cinna Bon
Bon Scott would kick this dude's ass.
Brasil ✌ 2019
Woah! Magnifique allégorie. I love it !
This song made me realize how hard we work towards something in our lives just for it to be knocked down. You have to live each day like it will be your last because you will never know when it will be your last. Live your life for you and no one else :)
the yellow king from true detective, ahhh!!!!!!
exactly what i thought.
am i the only one who gets confused, yet emotional when watching bon iver's videos? bc omg.
Get a hold of yourself
***** Excuse me ?
bon iver just makes timeless music.... this song might be perfect...
Wisdom is a wicked friend.
I would honestly rather hear this at my wedding ceremony than any traditional song.
my fav part 3:18 ,, take me to the another century , ...
the best part
Lilo Cahyo the live version is incredible for that too. By far the best part of the song!
You're so underrated!!! Love your songs man! Towers my personal Fave
Bon Iver drops the F bomb so gently it's almost comforting. Smooth!!!
what is that filter (camera) called? It's so beautiful!!!
"You're phone was playing Towers" Gracie Abrams
Bon Iver soothes my soul.
Wow this song and this music video is just one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen and heard...❤️😍
everytime i watch this music video, I always feel the urge to give this man a hot soup.
😂🤍 ..
hello after 7 years 🌸
