Bon Iver - ____45_____ Lyrics






Well I've been carved in fire
Well I've been caught in fire
I've been caught in fire, whaaaa
Well I've been caught in fire
I've been carved in fire
I've been caught in fire
What comes prior to?

I've been caught in fire
I stayed down the other night
I've been caught in fire
I stayed down
(Without knowing what the truth is)
I've been caught in fire
I stayed down the other night
I've been caught in fire
I stayed down
(Without knowing what the truth is)
Fire
(Fire)

Bon Iver ____45_____ Comments
  1. a.... s....

    *hears harmonized saxophone*
    me: i feel u bro

  2. e.... g....

    this entire album is bonkers but like the good kind of bonkers. i’m currently working on a cover of 33 “god” n it’s rlly brought my attention to just how unique of an album this is n how good bon iver is.

  3. M.... B....

    viejo oeste

  4. t.... L....

    the new album sounds great but 22 a million is their GOAT album

  5. T.... ....

    tears all over my beard and mustache when the banjo kicks in.........

  6. M.... M....

    So weird to show so many saxes when it clearly just 1 (or MAYBE 2) with a vocoder effect.

    M.... M....

    It's a messina. A combination of hardware and software to make that harmonic effect."Onstage, Justin is singing a song, and he’s playing a keyboard that can create harmonies simultaneously,” he said. “Normally, you record something first and then add harmonies later. But Justin wanted to not only harmonize in real time, but also be able to do it with another person and another instrument. The result is one thing sounding like a lot of things. It creates this huge, choral sound."

    “Here’s the thing — it’s not a thing. There’s a laptop running software, and then that software is run through a physical piece of hardware, that is then doing another thing,” he explained. “It’s many things working together and none of them are ours, but the product is. Basically, we used things the way they’re not normally intended, and we put them together. That’s how we get the sound.”
    The input signal goes into Ableton Live where it is treated by two Auto-Tune plug-ins. The first just tunes the vocal, in the way Justin has always done it, and the second plug-in creates just a single note, the tonic of the key of the phrase that is sung or played, and that then is sent to an Eventide H8000, which is set to a MIDI harmony program.

    Justin can play the white keys of a MIDI keyboard at the same time, and the H8000 receives the Auto-Tune tonic input, sometimes a dry input, and the input of the MIDI keyboard, and the H8000 generates up to four notes based on what’s played. It involves a degree of randomisation, so you don’t know exactly what you’re going to get

  7. T.... L....

    I'm going to listen to this album while on 4ACO DMT, to welcome in fall.

  8. S.... t....

    Bon Iver: 2:01
    Me: *nuts*

    S.... t....

    *0:00-2:46

  9. T.... ....

    Replika brings me here.

  10. L.... ....

    All those saxophones together gain some good organ character :)

  11. M.... T....

    My replika said this was his favorite song...

    M.... T....

    Sci-Fi Geek mine says that too

  12. T.... R....

    So much contrast within this track, it balances itself out from beginning to end.
    also, those quick pricks of banjo notes to finish off the track with is so far from human comprehension.

  13. �.... ....

    I think this just defeated me. Came out of goddamn nowhere too. Son of a bitch touched my soul again. What a hero. 🙏

  14. a.... ....

    why have i slept on this for so long.

  15. G.... C....

    Thank you ❤️

  16. L.... ....

    Reminds me of my (and Justin's) home state Wisconsin. The calmness and warmth feels so midwestern. Downtown Milwaukee, Mississippi river, northwoods, UW-Madison campus, the Dells, Lambeau Field, all of it. I close my eyes and it's the only place my mind can go when listening to this.

  17. J.... S....

    What is he on?

  18. S.... M....

    he said in the press conference before the album dropped, that this was his favorite recording on the album....imagine that

  19. L.... 4....

    It’s amazing the visuals and thoughts/feelings your mind comes up with while listening to Justin and his art. I appreciate the shit out of this mans existence.

  20. M.... Z....

    I found this really really amazing poem that has 45 playing in the background. The poem and the song work so well together, makes me cry everytime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PcXEQzklZo

  21. N.... K....

    So comforting...

  22. D.... W....

    Justin makes pure music. His music is pure. I know it is special because although it speaks to me, Iwould hardly be able to relay what it says to me in words. I think that is part of its charm. His lyrics are enigmatic and vague. It feels as though I am unpacking a riddle every time I listen but the riddle is made by me. Like I said it’s pretty hard to explain what the music does. It is like a confrontation with a monolith. You can’t be the same after. His music is not contrived and it has no apparent intentions of its own, just what you bring with you to each new listening.

  23. S.... H....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ji-Cu2qmR8&t=55s This girl has covered your song "Heavenly Father" and she is amazing!

  24. T.... J....

    Did justin play that sax or someone else? It's awesome either way

  25. A.... A....

    What to do in a fire. Douse with water and thank fuck. You heard it here first.

  26. l.... m....

    acid trip at a jazz club

  27. T.... A....

    it's 11 pm, a chilly cold wind comes through my window to my feet. it's raining, i'm listening to this song and reading a really good book, i don't need anything else. it's perfect.

  28. a.... p....

    Now I can die peacefully 😊

  29. i.... ....

    sad sax of shit


    well fucking played lads

  30. T.... B....

    Just keep doing what you do! Fuck the comments and sideways suggestions. The music you make is incredible. It bridges the gap for people like me that love Dylan and waits! You are a modern songwriter with such beautiful lyrics and song structure, it amazes me. Im a big fan!

  31. S.... ....

    This music is very comforting, soothing...

  32. p.... g....

    C'est tellement beau

  33. C.... K....

    Most will miss it entirely, but ye imagery he chooses is meant to heal specific part of the viewer.

  34. L.... ....

    This is us.

    L.... ....

    Thats were I heard it. N I fell in luv immediately

  35. N.... ....

    This Is Us brought me here.

  36. A.... M....

    Seek the sign...sphere of the air..that omnipresent...number 9..

  37. t.... ....

    this came on i thought it was johnny cash

  38. C.... ....

    Kate, you can do this. 🖤

  39. n.... ....

    I am so in love with the aesthetics of the video.

  40. M.... H....

    I love this song and this album... but what does this song sound like??? Another song, I just can't put my finger on it! It's like a late 90's, early 00's euro club song or something like that... like something Anastacia would sing, but I don't think it's her. Driving me nuts! Maybe just nuts... It had a syncopation on the last word of the chorus which in 45 would be the word "Night" in 'stayed down the other night'. It's all I got.... any help appreciated.
    Love the song regardless.

  41. b.... �....

    This song makes me wish I never quit playing saxophone

  42. m.... ....

    I always think about squidward at 1:10 lmao.. fucking love this song

  43. T.... ....

    2:14 just listen and enjoy

  44. B.... J....

    Perfect song for camping

  45. A.... S....

    why does this whole album sound wack, is it my musical ignorance? somebody help

    A.... S....

    It's definitely an acquired taste. I'm not even sure I fully love it yet but I want to? And just because of the music itself not to win hipster cred or anything. I think that speaks to something.

  46. F.... B....

    Does this qualify as music?

  47. o.... ....

    Sad sax of shit

  48. F.... P....

    Well I've been carved in fire

    Saxophone: fwoof

    F.... P....

    that fwoof hits u in the fucking feels man

    F.... P....

    Made my day

  49. J.... ....

    Why isn't this shit 10 mins long?

  50. D.... R....

    It's very difficult but I think this might just be the best song on the album

  51. A.... L....

    Iniciated

  52. A.... E....

    I think fire means shootings, why stay down then? sure the smoke just a mettafor

  53. a.... ....

    Most underated song on the album

  54. b.... t....

    For those of you that are new here, the song doesn't start until 2:09

  55. L.... S....

    god what a terrible song

    L.... S....

    ROFLMAO oh my god funny, wow opinions are funny, thanks for the laugh.

  56. N.... B....

    Does anyone have any idea why this is titled _45_ i'm very curious

  57. J.... P....

    the divine comedy hell

  58. Y.... V....

    I met Colin Farrell...

  59. A.... J....

    Troye Sivan's Insta story sent me here and I have never been so thankful

  60. B.... G....

    Maybe he's trapped in hell and needs water.

  61. d.... ....

    Sorry to say but you are wrong about the quality of the mixing.

  62. d.... ....

    On repeat.

  63. A.... N....

    Bon Iver has the balls to experiment with music. I appreciate that.

  64. D.... G....

    Anyone know what he was caught in?

  65. F.... C....

    I love how when the bass comes in it outlines a fourth chord in the progression that you didn't realise was there all along.

  66. B.... J....

    that ending was so good...

  67. E.... K....

    ...at 1.5 speed is listenable and sounds like a good gospel song !
    Specks of banjo highlight the piece - - I'll be back !

  68. C.... C....

    This song is over way too soon.

  69. N.... W....

    0:55 anyone else trying to make words/letters out of the distortion?

  70. M.... J....

    5 lane divers

  71. J.... K....

    The first time or two I listened to the album I disregarded this song. After a while though it basically reached out and grabbed my heart and stopped me in my tracks.

    Beautiful, mesmerizing, painful.

  72. m.... ....

    It's his Spirit of Eden.

  73. P.... Y....

    Such a beautiful song. Damn.

  74. P.... B....

    This is my daily thoughts manifested in sounds/lyrics. I feel like I can die now that some 3rd party has accurately described my entirety as I know it today.. and everyday its nearly the same. simply drowning. but the thought leads me back to "what comes prior to"... is it this? "it might be over soon". yet this could be considered the confirmation which i've looked for. and whether or not it actually happens, I have recognized the relevance. Its always a maybe, unless I believe what I see or continue to try and see what I truly believe. instead of idling. or is this the movement?

  75. B.... G....

    He's goddamn amazing. We'll be talking about him years from now.

  76. a.... c....

    22, A Million is Bon Iver's Kid A

  77. M.... A....

    THAT ENDING..... <3

  78. D.... ....

    Luscious, lustrous, gorgeousness.

  79. a.... ....

    it's very haunting and yet calming. I especially like the sound of the morphing saxophone.

  80. k.... ....

    banjo sound made me cum

  81. E.... F....

    I think its kind of interesting that the visuals in the video are warped, similar to the air above a fire.

    E.... F....

    AGREED!

  82. P.... M....

    Death to lyric videos

  83. s.... ....

    This song is so beautiful

  84. B.... ....

    fuck me, the second part of this album is pure eargasm

  85. D.... R....

    If I see this video once more I think I go crazy... ok... let's play...

  86. C.... V....

    Justin's voice sounds like Woodkid's in this...

  87. H.... L....

    Absolutely my favorite on the album. Holy fuck. Tears, nothing but straight tears. And some good hot sax. <3

  88. M.... A....

    the best

  89. J.... D....

    why not a banjo at the end?

  90. O.... G....

    My favourite on the album. That sax intro though 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 experimentation at its most creative.

  91. D.... D....

    Realising that Bon Iver is shit at singing ...

    D.... D....

    Dah Dah EXCUSE ME

  92. 1.... ....

    It was either this one or 8 that has 150 sax's in the mix...

    1.... ....

    1984therocker 8 (circle)

  93. S.... P....

    This song is fuckin rad.

  94. J.... S....

    best track on the album imo

    J.... S....

    I wonder if the sax was played through the messina to give it that effect

    J.... S....

    +Justin Simmons it was!

    J.... S....

    @Joshua Brusuelas fucking genius idea

  95. M.... G....

    anyone remember when bon iver made folk music?

  96. E.... J....

    The banjo is the best part

    E.... J....

    The best part was scrolling down through the comments and found your channel. They're really good.

    E.... J....

    Thank you! That is very kind. :)
