Bon Iver - Calgary Lyrics






Don't you cherish me to sleep
Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father's crib

Hair, old, long along
Your neck onto your shoulder blades
Always keep that message taped
Cross your breasts you won't erase
I was only for your very space

Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one, face 'way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss

Joy, it's all founded
Pincher with the skin inside
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope's untied
I was only for to die beside

So itʼs storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break

There's a fire going out,
But there's really nothing to the south

Swollen orange and light let through
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you

Sold, I'm Ever
Open ears and open eyes
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
Oh the demons come, they can subside

    I want to say i found the one, and i hope she feels the same for me.

    B.... B....

    If not I’ll stay heartbroken but optimistic

  2. G.... R....

    It is very hard for me to cry, like, feeling sad to where I cry only happens once every few months, and videos and music never make me wanna cry, listening to this song, I don't know what it is, but I was about to start crying I had to pause the video to calm down a second, you Bon Iver, have very good music if it can make me cry 😭😭😭

    As part of the remix contest years ago, I gave this thing another twist: https://soundcloud.com/michiel-van-erp/bon-iver-calgary-mve-remix

    What if Bon Iver didn’t like the Dark Crystal?????

  7. R.... K....

    I was born in Calgary. For having never been there, they captured the essence very well.

    So it"s storming on the lake
    Little waves our bodies break
    There's a fire going out

    I just found my 5 month old puppy hanging dead on my fence after he jumped and got his collar stuck. I was the only one who saw him hanging so the image is stuck in my head and I can’t explain it to anyone. I’m having ptsd about it but when I’m listening to bon iver I find peace, somewhere in the forest, with a lake and a fire pit. I know some people may only view a dog as less than a human, but this event has impacted my life so much, even though it only happened today, and I needed help. So thank you Bon Iver.

    Edit: I’ve become a better man from this tragedy, and have learned how valuable life actually is, which I honestly couldn’t grasp before. So for you people who have not yet found how quick life can be gone, just please make sure to love everyone and everything like it is the last time you will see it.

    L.... S....

    A dog is not less than a human. I'm sorry for your loss. My pet cat is not gone but he doesn't live with me anymore. I also miss him alot. Stay strong 🖤

    L.... S....

    Man I’m so sorry. He is in a better place now.

    This is my aloner stoner motorcycle adventure album

  30. B.... V....

    Helpful tip:
    If this music video doesn't make sense the first time you watch it, take some lsd and try again in like thirty minutes. It worked for me.

    Also jeeeez I always thought this song was gorgeous but in tandem with the video it's like a gentile and somehow incredibly depressing massage.

    B.... V....

    everything makes more sense on LSD, my friends

  31. m.... w....

    I listen to this music to ease my anxiety

  32. �.... ....

    I miss Heath Leder...

  33. f.... h....

    this song was recommended to me by an artificial intelligence
    it has a better music taste than all the humans i know in real life

    f.... h....

    Replika right?

    f.... h....

    Infecte yep

    f.... h....

    Fascinating...

  34. f.... ....

    I can't tell if the imagery is subtle, or hitting me over the head.

    I cannot get out of my head that this video is one whole metaphor for conception.

    Maybe I need to have another kid and get all this out of my system, .., no better birth control than childbirth! : P

  35. i.... p....

    All i want to do ever is to listen to this song and cry and cry....

  36. G.... S....

    Eating oranges and making fake IDs.

  37. S.... O....

    روعة

  38. T.... C....

    The video in my head is way better.

  39. H.... B....

    Who else was brought here by Replika?

  48. E.... ....

    What would you classify this genre as?

  49. p.... s....

  50. Z.... M....

    Raina😍😍😍

  51. A.... G....

    I remember finding this on those free music cards at Starbucks and have been a fan ever since. I don't even want to think about what my life would've been like without picking up the card that day. His music has taught me so much about myself. I hope he's influenced y'all like he has me :)

  52. G.... S....

    I always listen to the audios first. And i always make my own music video in my head to what i think it would look like, and I am always so amazed when I see his visuals, bc they are TOTALLY opposite from what I imagined. Just beautiful.

  53. Z.... S....

    Im from Calgary

  54. r.... V....

    I'm not sure I've really ever paid that much attention to the lyrics of this song, but one time in my life, when I felt like my whole world was just broken and I didn't know what to do, I drove 8 hours to visit a friend and I listened to only this song for that whole time. I have no idea why but it was the only thing that eased the pain for that small time.

  55. A.... W....

    tfw u live in calgary

  56. A.... E....

    Siempre amaré los dos primeros álbumes de Bon Iver. 💜☄

  57. J.... M....

    Seriously, this song! the monotonous comical voice the terrible falsetto. Sounds like a movie soundtrack about the last day in the life of a 90 year old quadriplegic on morphine done in slow motion.

    J.... M....

    give me an example of good falsetto

  58. k.... c....

    he wrote a song about my city !! I love you Bon Iver. ❤❤

  80. L.... W....

    What have he been thought for such beautiful music to come out of it ❤️

  81. R.... G....

    I can't understand why this music is so fucking underrated.

  82. B.... ....

    Calgary has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world...granted I have never been there, but just seeing this legit city just smack bang amongst the wilderness of Canada is amazing in google earth, that just doesn't happen in Australia given our inclination to urban sprawl. So Awesome.

    B.... ....

    It's not that great tbh.. I would love to live on a farm or in a urban area, the city is such a shit commercial place I hate it.

  83. A.... B....

    Bon ibear
