Bon Iver - “Holocene” from Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Here is the recently released official music video for THE best song of the year, from THE best album of 2011.
If you recognized some of the locales in it, you might have seen them in the amazing video for “Glosoli” by Sigur Ros. I’m glad that Justin Vernon went with a geological theme here since that’s why the song is titled “Holocene” (it’s the geological epoch we currently are in today, and according to wikipedia, “The Holocene… encompasses within it the growth and impacts of the human species world-wide, including all its written history and overall significant transition toward urban living in the present.”). It also makes the signature line in the chorus all the more powerful, as Vernon describes all the random nights out with his friends amidst the context of realizing how small and insignificant we all may be in the grand scheme of the world and universe (see also Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot).
“And at once I knew, I was not magnificent…
high above the highway aisle,
jagged vacance thick with ice,
and I could see for miles, miles, miles…”
(by the way, my favorite part of the song is still the buildup near the end, topped off by the random saxophone coming in at 5:10 of the video)
