we saw bon iver last friday at the uptown. we stood in line for an hour to get seats in the balcony. the sound is better up there. and when you're under 6 feet tall, the view is better, too.
i expected a mellow show. somber, even. with smooth falsettos and haunting melodies.
i didn't even know if i would like it.
but holy shit did i like it.
loved, really.
it was haunting, yes. but in this raw, passionate way. it was electronic and hard. it was nothing i had expected. it was everything i had hoped for. it was beautiful.
and, now, it's in my bones. in my core. it changed me. and i can't stop listening to this song. and reliving the show. again and again and again. and anyway, i hope you were there, too.
bon iver is amazing. you may also like this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhfQ070q1pU&NR=1
