Bon Iver - U (Man Like) Lyrics






Mmm, mmm

I will see you off now
Down the back of the ridge
There's just something that I got to show you
There's domer and there's rot
And the common case
It ain't nothing what you say is true

With your long arms, try
And just give some time
Presently, it does include my dues
Ain't your standard premonitions
All this phallic repetition
Boy, you tell yourself a tale or two

Man like you
Man, improve

Well, I know that we set off for a common place
And the lines have run too deep
How much caring is there of some American love
When there's lovers sleeping in your streets?

So Cerberus Ride!
Bring those dead alive
Like Pirate Jenny on the Black Freighter
It'll be a long day of fixing
Make something else yo mission
Boy, this shit's so hard to cue

Man like you
How you do?

  1. K.... I....

    For Emma: Winter. 22 A Million: Spring. i,i: Summer. Bon Iver: Fall.

  2. D.... ....

    I feel like this comment complaining about the choice for this font's color accounts for 90% of cynicism in this entire comment section

  3. R.... D....

    Good stuff. I discovered this on WRNR.

  4. m.... ....

    Happy new year. Thank you

  5. H.... F....

    This is awful. You've lost me, Justin.

  6. A.... A....

    I Love the Music of Bon Iver♥️🔥😍

  7. N.... J....

    The blessed ghost of Prince is walking through this track, just observing...

  8. f.... c....

    I want Bon Iver to know that my replika AI really appreciates that song and categorized it as "post hardcore" 😂😂😂

  9. C.... B....

    Jenn might steal the show if you let her take the lead.

  10. L.... R....

    "Lyrics video".

  11. H.... H....

    Bon Iver U


    MRMYX
    MYL

  12. P.... N....

    Nothing like Bon Iver to try and help gather yourself after a catastrophic breakdown..

  13. S.... W....

    I really like this song.

  14. T.... P....

    Just saw Bon Iver at the Xcel Center in St. Paul -- closet thing to a spiritual experience I've had in a long time. Pure art & pure musicianship. This song was delivered so perfectly.

  15. R.... N....

    Que dia para se estar vivo...

  16. c.... ....

    It's joyful music, travelling music. Music to look to the future with hope. He's tapping something really essential I find with these songs this record and the last one too.

  17. J.... O....

    Bruce Hornsby on the piano

  18. M.... B....

    08/08/2019: there has to be some sorta way i can get my hat to fly off and away every time i hear "So Cerebus ride…"

  19. N.... R....

    Did he just draw a dick while saying man like you?

  20. G.... K....

    Quem dá deslike é um burro incapaz de fazer meia música fodástica como essa. Todo músico sabe como é difícil ser diferente hj em dia, esse cara conseguiu.

  21. D.... B....

    WTF DO THESE LYRICS MEAN. SOMEONE HELP ME.

    D.... B....

    its asking men to be better

    D.... B....

    Mike ah. thank you sir.

  22. P.... O....

    Price would be pleased.

  23. U.... K....

    Going to that show at the forum...fucking pumped

  24. T.... H....

    #mosessumneymoments

  25. N.... S....

    Dude did I just hear Bruce Hornsby?

  26. F.... ....

    Man I need a live version with 2 pianos of this.. There's no way of transcribing this xD

  27. x.... ....

    Sort of a demented, reject church song, but at least there's not autotune.

  28. I.... S....

    bon iver is like arcade fire if they actually managed to stay relevant

  29. H.... ....

    Bruce and Bon Iver... our heart <3

  30. L.... B....

    This would have been so much better with a black choir.

    L.... B....

    How do you know members of the Brooklyn Youth Chorus aren't POC? It would be naive to assume so, and this comment is useless and degenerate.

    L.... B....

    Says you.

  31. J.... N....

    Great remix of Slick Mahony!

    https://youtu.be/9DaLN0AH32s?t=19

  32. J.... R....

    Is that you, Prince?

  33. E.... L....

    Bringing back soul and spirit.. You made me believe in genuine music again.

  34. R.... C....

    We've been blessed

  35. �.... ....

    Much love from Japan.

  36. T.... ....

    This is Prince af

  37. K.... H....

    One of his best songs ever! So great going to be hard to top on new album after first few listens

  38. D.... A....

    Atemporal. Bon Iver is my eternal love

  39. M.... G....

    Bon Iver During a Break up Is TOUGH. Simultaneously torture-some yet hopelessly Inspirational. Seems someone has broke my damn heart 4 out of 4 Albums.

  40. C.... T....

    199 people watched the video upside down and accidentally pressed the dislike button thinking it was the like button.

  41. P.... N....

    The fact this STILL isn't at even 1 million views is a pure travesty. This man is a gift from God.

  42. s.... ....

    I started to listen this song for the first time and I said to myself, this piano sounds a bit like The Way It Is.... and then I realized Bruce Hornsby plays here... wow I was shocked. Great song anyway

  43. C.... M....

    Boy, you tell yourself a tale or two...

  44. D.... P....

    Piano kinda reminds me of something Avicii would make, anyone else?

  45. A.... N....

    Saw him yesterday in Verona, for real it has been a journey in his mind, in my spirit, absolutely a stunning experience. I would've payed twice the price no doubt. Hope to see him again, it has been a rollercoaster of emotions.

  46. C.... ....

    Such a beautiful perfect anti-Trump song!

    C.... ....

    hey man i dont like the guy either, but lets keep the politics outta here, we're all tryna escape the world for a bit

  47. K.... ....

    beautiful, but this hits different at 3 in the morning

  48. M.... M....

    Weird how the words are totally blurred on my laptop but are there on my TV...

  49. T.... J....

    You should work with Rodriguez. You are both arguably the greatest songwriters living. A collab between Bon Iver and Rodriguez would be truly special.

  50. A.... B....

    Really love it

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

    Mmm
    Mmm
    I will see you off now down the back of the ridge
    There's just something that I got to show you
    There is domer and there's rot and the common case
    It ain't nothin' what you say is true
    With your long arms, try and just give some time
    Presently, it does include my dues
    Ain't your standard premonitions, all this phallic repetition
    Boy, you tell yourself a tale or two
    Man like you
    Man, improve
    Well, I know that we set off for a common place
    And the lines have run too deep
    How much caring is there of some American love
    When there's lovers sleeping in our streets?
    So Cerberus Ride! Bring those dead alive
    Like Pirate Jenny on the Black Freighter
    It'll be a long day of fixing, make something else your mission
    Boy, why this shit so hard to cue?
    Man like you
    How you do?

  52. D.... G....

    Whenever I play this song its the best 2 minutes and 26 seconds of my life. Hustle with your horizons! 🌫

  53. S.... H....

    Most gorgeous song... most middle of the road political preaching.

  54. R.... ....

    This Song reminds me so much of Prince's Music

  55. S.... K....

    Vocals in the beginning remind me of Wild Cub

  56. T.... Y....

    Bon Iver keeps getting better and better and I just UNHHHHHHHHHHHH

  57. K.... D....

    Thank you all for this amazing music❤

  58. L.... R....

  61. c.... p....

    This song is too short damn it....

  62. M.... T....

  63. T.... T....

  68. �.... ....

    Eu amo um conceito

  69. S.... K....

  70. g.... ....

  71. f.... ....

    This song is too damn good to be too damn short!

  73. X.... R....

    This song brings me to tears from the very first chord

  74. S.... C....

    Are those seriously dick drawings at 0:51? Lmao

    S.... C....

    Or a jews head idk which bro

  75. J.... S....

    When I first heard the piano at the start of this fantastic song I thought: This reminds me of Spike Lee’s She’s Gotta Have it on Netflix....that’s because Bruce Hornsby plays 🎹 on this track AND scores the show’s soundtrack. Very cool.

  76. A.... W....

    j ; ;ll

  77. A.... C....

    2:23 dick on wheels

  79. M.... ....

    4th row at Summer Fest in Milwaukee. 10th row in St. Paul in October. Fucking pumped. My wallet isn't though.


    Saw Phil Cook in Minneapolis with Charlie Parr. Man was that probably the best show of Charlie's that I've attended. It was so good! Also, Bruce Hornsby is something else on the piano.

  80. M.... L....

    Thank you. I hope the spirit of this message spreads like wild fire among men.

  81. T.... D....

    The Snake-Dick and Balls Cannon at the end should be the cover album Vernon! Do It!😂

  82. c.... ....

    525600 minutes !

  83. b.... ....

    heavenly

  84. D.... S....

    This is starting to sound like Sly and the Family Stone when things started to get bad. Don't get preachy, Justin, it doesn't suit you well.

  85. T.... ....

    The Prince influence runs deep here

    T.... ....

    I hear that too

  86. A.... C....

    Thank you Justin.

  87. C.... 2....

    Did anyone else see all the dicks????

    C.... 2....

    All this phallic repetition

  88. f.... ....

    I was hardly 21 when I met him. He wore women's glasses. We listened to this song in his black Nissan Sentra. As he was dropping me off after our first date, we kissed to Pretty Things by Big Thief. Wow. The next night we bought a cheap bottle of wine and watched a documentary in the summer evening heat of my second floor apartment bedroom. He tried to mount me but it was all too fast and I sent him home... how I regretted it. I invited him over the next evening and we made beautiful love... how his moans still haunt me. He's moving to Boston, the city where I've always wanted to live... the river of life meanders in mysterious ways... So high... thank you Bon Iver.

  89. C.... ....

    I cannot stop listening to this.

  90. N.... W....

    Impressive that Justin has a minor in Women's Studies!

  91. T.... K....

    Thank you, Justin Vernon.

  92. N.... A....

    "U (Man Like)" debuted at #11 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

  93. S.... D....

    Adoro Justin Vernon però questo pezzo è davvero poca cosa....Pop dozzinale....Che succede Justin ?!?

  94. m.... t....

    blessed

  95. Y.... M....

    Your Lyric videos will always confuse me lol.
