I feel like you could listen to any Bon Iver song and it would make you cry. They're all so heart-wrenching.
My plan was to release a tape, move to Arkansas, live on a farm, and make music like Bon Iver.
Don't just listen to my songs; listen to any song which you feel would make a change in your life.
I kind of miss writing songs the way that I used to write songs, in the sense that I would just sit down, and all these words that told a story would come out. There's one Bon Iver song called 'Blood Bank' that is more representative of an older lineage of songs, which I like and I sort of miss. But it just doesn't happen anymore for me.
I've never spoken to Bon Iver, but I would love to. I'm a huge fan!
I would say a great song [is where] you like everything in the song. The lyrics move you, the beat makes you want to dance and you feel invincible when you listen to that song. A good song I think you can listen to but you get tired of it really fast.
I love Bon Iver. I would never put a negative connotation on that man's name!
I like the story about Bon Iver. They said he kept his GRAMMY in, like, the basement bathroom so he could just focus on getting another one. If I won a GRAMMY, I'd probably keep it at my mom's house on 47th Street.
I really have to be in a specific headspace to even begin to illuminate an idea that would create another Bon Iver record, and I'm just not there.
I listened to Kanye West and also dove deep into bands like Radiohead, Portishead, and Bon Iver.
That's what I like about Frank Ocean or Bon Iver - they try to capture a feeling in the most sincere way.
New York sounds like something that I could really listen to. It's like a vibe; it's a hit song. It's a song that you could listen to in five years and still like.
I remember trying so hard to get into Bon Iver. I'd lie in bed listening with my eyes screwed up, like, 'This is just depressing me.'
When I get compared to artists like Jose Gonzalez or Bon Iver, I can't help but think, "I've been doing this since they were in third grade."
I've heard that Bon Iver liked my cover of 'Skinny Love.'
I like to listen to sad music when I’m sad. It seems honest. It makes me cry, and sometimes a good cry is the only thing that can make you feel better.
I almost never cry, and it's something I don't like about myself. I sometimes try and make myself cry. Sometimes, when I'm in pain, I say if I could just cry it would make it so much easier.
