Bon Iver - Holyfields, Lyrics






Danger been steppin' in
I'm happy as I've ever been
Couldn't tell you what the cadence is
It's folded in the evidences?
So you wanna leave a mark?
You're honing in on meadowpark
I heard you guys are very safe
Caught up with the featherweights

The dawn is rising
The land ain't rising
NO NO NO
Flash hope
Pass the throw

Comin' in very late
Just above our pay grades
You ask me not to pull alarms
We have to act our ages

The dawn is rising
But the land ain't rising
NO NO NO
Catch up
You wanna go the fast way?

Bonded weights
Don't favor them
If it's all that you don't do
It's lacerate
Better let them pass away

Stay, go?
Better that you find a new way
Before my eyes
Couldn't learn it any other way
By the way

Bon Iver Holyfields, Comments
  1. A.... ....

    what is this effect called? this video stuttering

  2. E.... L....

    The more I listen to this album the more I sincerely think that it is a masterpiece! This song, the entire album, really inspiring. Bon Iver! Love you all!

  3. K.... R....

    2:11 - my soul starts to leave my body
    2:48 - I am a gone girl

  4. J.... ....

    He's just stringing words together at this point.

  5. S.... M....

    really made the lyrics look like credits by the end

  6. H.... H....

    Bon Iver Holyfields


    MRMYX
    MYL

  7. J.... B....

    Does anyone understand what Justin is whispering at 1:50?

  8. j.... ....

    Laggy as fuck

  9. D.... D....

    Weed plus this song is a vibe

  10. E.... P....

    2040 music

  11. I.... M....

    So we all just gonna sleep on that 2:22 note? Also end of this song is effervescent :)

  12. c.... ....

    You know I think the dual media thing is almost req'd with the song styles he's working on now. I found the same with Beach House'7'. The imagery of these vids connected with the songs = joy.

  13. R.... M....

    Am I the only one who really isn’t stoked on this album at all? :/

  14. Y.... ....

    Ok, I guess I’m just watching all these Bon Iver videos 😃 fuck work fuck sleep

  15. h.... s....

    죽이네

  16. M.... G....

    Justin vernon is the only artist to make you hate a song at first and then love it beyond believe over time. I can't believe he's talking about mike tyson and EVANDER HOLYFIELD......now i see what the featherweight line means! Justin is a fucking genius

  17. m.... t....

    what my videos look like while I watch them render

  18. E.... R....

    allusions to evander holyfield in the first verse, any other holyfields in the song?

  19. s.... ....

    These songs all have album jacket vibes. Love it

  20. O.... T....

    You have given so much yet I want more. This is so beautiful!

  21. J.... Z....

    Well shit. Bon Iver did it again!

  22. E.... L....

    I'm still waiting for this album to grow on me. I might be the only Bon Iver fan who doesn't immediately love it. It feels very small and... unambitious?

    E.... L....

    Listen on good headphones.

  23. P.... B....

    Lovin the minecraft sun

  24. A.... T....

    Like a Chris Martin voice

  25. x.... ....

    WTF IS THE POINT OF THIS TYPE OF MUSIC? JUST PLAY YOUR ACOUSTIC GUITAR, FOR F*CK'S SAKE!

  26. N.... B....

    Volcano Choir folk must be involved in this. It's the instruments that aren't played that make the difference sometimes. Genius

  27. F.... R....

    No, no, no ... so good

  28. T.... L....

    0:59, sings a Db2, 2:21, sings a Gb5. wtf Justin chill

  29. m.... v....

    I donˋt get it 🤷🏼‍♂️

  30. K.... K....

    this video is genius.

  31. G.... H....

    All the emotions you could sustain in a single lifetime bottled into 3 minutes...

  32. v.... ....

    millennial review right here

  33. N.... G....

    "Before my eyes, couldn't learn it any other way." Wish 2:28-end was longer I need an entire damn song of that

    N.... G....

    I'm so with you. 2 minutes on is the best part of the album imo. If anyone knows of any song that sounds like that, please let me know!!!

    N.... G....

    I feel you man, the end hits in a indescribable way.

  34. r.... ....

    Heavenly Father made a stopover in Hinnom, TX

  35. L.... G....

    Evander’s dances

    Maybe that explains all the people dancing in the other lyric videos... I don’t know how that explains that though, hardly makes sense. Maybe it’s not supposed to. Maybe that’s the point. Dang it I need to known how hard I need to interpret the lyrics. Do I need to build a web outta sticky notes and yarn, or is it meant to be taken at face value? I feel like that answer is both and annoys me yet makes me love the music even more.

    Alex Jones didn’t have to snap like this 😅

  37. V.... F....

  38. M.... F....

    hey Knobs vibes right here

  39. K.... ....

    I think 2:21 is the highest note Justin has ever sang

  40. E.... L....

    CA PO LA VO RO

  41. N.... ....

    There's a little bit of Peter Gabriel in this.

    N.... ....

    a little bit??? haha

    N.... ....

    Nina for sure

    N.... ....

    Imagine them making music together. They’ve both made covers of each other’s songs, so you never know.

  42. M.... K....

    Reminds me of the ad for the AI operating system in Her.

  43. A.... A....

    Brilliant <3.

  49. T.... a....

    Hermoso :(

  50. C.... M....

    I just want to be in the studio when these songs are written and engineered. To see the mystery and soul and hard work. Would a gift that would be.

  51. A.... D....

    I've just listened to the whole album. It's too early to formulate an opinion on it. I'm a rollercoaster of mixed feelings...it's all too much... it's going to take a while to really get into the weeds of this album.

  52. J.... C....

    Every time the Bon Iver notification bell rings an angel gets its wings. 🙏

    J.... C....

    @Nikos Prapas I hang corrected

    J.... C....

    @Jesus Christ Jeeeeeeeez

    J.... C....

    Jeez this guy again...

  53. C.... K....

    I'm never promoting Bon Iver. People will never understand them.

  54. R.... G....

    My birthday is this month and all this new bon iver is the greatest gift I’ll receive

  55. F.... A....

    Ahhhhhhhhh só estão me deixando com mais vontade de comprar a 1° passagem de avião e partir pra um show de vocês. Vemmmm me raptar, please!

    I've just walked up right now and it was my favorite good morning ever!!! in love with this new album!!! LOVE FROM BRAZIL GUYS!

  71. E.... ....

    Aside of me being handsome I am also pretty sure that *Bon Iver's* studio is located in *Area 51*

  72. C.... B....

    This is giving me hinnom, tx vibes and I'm loving it

    C.... B....

    I know, right?
    I've loved that song ever since I heard it in Warm Bodies, (makes me cry more often than not) but it took me more than 4 years to check the rest of the disography. I'm disappointed in myself for being very late to the amazing party that is Bon Iver. I am amazed by every new song that I discover.

  73. k.... b....

    Bon fire

  74. K.... S....

    pinching myself real hard

  75. E.... C....

    all these releases are convincing me there's a reason my car won't start today and all my plans are ruined ✊ i don't believe in fate but I'll believe it today
