Towers' is the name of the dormitory that I lived in in college; it's made up of these two towers – North and South – my girlfriend lived in one and I lived in the other. It's about falling in love, but also about what happens when you've long fallen out of love and those reminders are still there. You drive by them, these two buildings, and you look, and you realise that we really built that up. That we really built that love into these things, and for a long time afterward looking at them really made me feel sad; to see these empty buildings that I don't go in to anymore. But then, as time goes on, they start to become kind of joyous in their own way: you can look at them and think 'that love was great and these buildings still stand tall'. But there's also an element of the fact that they're just buildings – they're gonna fall down one day, and they're not that important because there's new love in your life and you've got to break things down that get built up. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
What are the things that make adults depressed? The master list is too comprehensive to quantify (plane crashes, unemployment, killer bees, impotence, Stringer Bell's murder, gambling addictions, crib death, the music of Bon Iver, et al.) But whenever people talk about their personal bouts of depression in the abstract, there are two obstructions I hear more than any other. The possibility that one's life is not important, and the mundane predictability of day-to-day existence. Talk to a depressed person (particularly one who's nearing midlife), and one (or both) of these problems will inevitably be described. Since the end of World War II, every generation of American children has been endlessly conditioned to believe that their lives are supposed to be great -- a meaningful life is not just possible, but required. Part of the reason forward-thinking media networks like Twitter succeed is because people want to believe that every immaterial thing they do is pertinent by default; it's interesting because it happened to them, which translates as interesting to all. At the same time, we concede that a compelling life is supposed to be spontaneous and unpredictable-- any artistic depiction of someone who does the same thing every day portrays that character as tragically imprisoned (January Jones on Mad Men, Ron Livingston in Office Space, the lyrics to "Eleanor Rigby," all novels set in affluent suburbs, pretty much every project Sam Mendes has ever conceived, etc.) If you know ~ Chuck Klosterman
Bon Iver quotes by Chuck Klosterman
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. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
I'm in love with your honour.
I'm in love with your cheeks. ~ Bon Iver
Bon Iver quotes by Bon Iver
Honestly, before I settled on a name for the Bon Iver project in general, Chigliak was in the running for what I was going to name the band. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
I've heard that Bon Iver liked my cover of 'Skinny Love.' ~ Birdy
Bon Iver quotes by Birdy
Every place I go, I take another place with me. ~ Bon Iver
Bon Iver quotes by Bon Iver
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. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
That's what I like about Frank Ocean or Bon Iver - they try to capture a feeling in the most sincere way. ~ Todd Rundgren
Bon Iver quotes by Todd Rundgren
I can pour myself into Bon Iver. It's a thing about self- and mental discovery, and those are all important things. But it's not 148-shows-over-a-year-and-a-half important, though. It's a machine, and it's money, and you just get put on this indie rock cart, and it's embarrassing. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
I'm really honored that Bon Iver gives me a platform to do whatever I want, but there's only so much time you can spend digging through yourself before you become insular. I'm not in a hurry to go back to that temperature. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
There's a large opportunity for Bon Iver to be a special thing, even from a business standpoint - just trying to do cooler things. Every band sells t-shirts and plays certain auditoriums, but I'm sick of being like everyone else, because I'm not. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
I was by myself for a pretty long time. I needed to do that. I think everyone that I know has wanted to do that or needed to do that at some point. I think when you spend enough time when it's quiet around you and you don't open your mouth for three or four days, there's parts of your brain that can kind of rest. I think when we're out in the world and we have to talk to people, we edit ourselves. You know, we have to like, act a little bit. As honest as we may be as humans, when we're out here, we're all kind of wearing mirrors on our faces. You know, constantly reacting to how to react to the people around you. And I think when you're alone for a long enough time, you can feel a lot more peace. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
Bon Iver: Way too emotionally high stakes for casual listening in the sense that it makes every single part of your life feel like the part of a TV show where you are in a hospital saying goodbye for the very last time ~ Jesse Andrews
Bon Iver quotes by Jesse Andrews
My plan was to release a tape, move to Arkansas, live on a farm, and make music like Bon Iver. ~ Shamir
Bon Iver quotes by Shamir
I don't want the big flashing lights and red carpet, like, 'Here comes another Bon Iver album!' I just want it to be my bedroom-y thing. But that'll take a while to figure out. ~ Justin Vernon
Bon Iver quotes by Justin Vernon
I've never spoken to Bon Iver, but I would love to. I'm a huge fan! ~ Birdy
Bon Iver quotes by Birdy
I always think I'm the Tom Cruise of music - a lot of success and fans, but no critics, darling. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
One of my favorite "deep thoughts" on the topic occurred when one of my other bands, Loaded, was opening for Alice Cooper a number of years back. After one particularly successful show, we got to talking about Bon Jovi. In the song "Wanted Dead Or Alive," the claim is made that "I've seen a million faces, and I've rocked them all." All? Let's ponder.
I have no doubt that Bon Jovi had played to a million people by the time "Dead or Alive" was released on Slippery When Wet in 1986. But did they rock them all? Couldn't it be that some dudes brought their girlfriends to the show and weren't necessarily into their music? What about some parents? Or maybe some people just didn't get rocked? Hey, it's happened to me. I've gone to gigs properly prepared to get rocked and it just didn't happen. ~ Duff McKagan
Bon Iver quotes by Duff McKagan
Endeavor, Bon-Bon, to use them well; - my vision is the soul. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
Bon Iver quotes by Edgar Allan Poe
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
He's got some obsession with feathers. Sings lots of Bon Jovi too. ~ Anonymous
Bon Iver quotes by Anonymous
I'm being trained to shake the bon-bon appropriately. ~ Clay Aiken
Bon Iver quotes by Clay Aiken
Would I love to run around and check out if Jennifer Aniston was looking for a boyfriend? Yeah, it would be interesting for a minute. But would I trade in my life to get her and Angelina [Jolie]? No way. I've got something better. And I don't need the neuroses of two type-A personalities in my life. One is enough. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
You don't need fancy sneakers to run fast ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
The only thing I like more than my wife is my money, and I'm not about to lose that to her and her lawyers, that's for damn sure. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
I might have been through some changes, but changing the way I look wasn't one of the major ones. To be honest. I'm sick of the whole subject of my hair. I mean, are you just sitting there looking at my hair, or are you looking at me? ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
I was in a band called the valentines and they broke up last week. ~ Bon Scott
Bon Iver quotes by Bon Scott
A civilization, when the moment has come for crowds to acquire a high hand over it, is at the mercy of too many chances to endure for long. Could anything postpone for a while the hour of its ruin, it would be precisely the extreme instability of the opinions of crowds and their growing indifference and lack of respect for all general beliefs. ~ Gustave Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Gustave Le Bon
If I'm feeling in a naughty mood, I'll steal some of Mama's Creme De La Mer. If I'm feeling in a very naughty mood, I'll steal some of Daddy's Creme De La Mer. On the whole though, I'm very low maintenance. ~ Amber Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Amber Le Bon
Women have always ruled my life, be it my mother, my wife, my assistant, or my daughter, so I don't really fight with them. I relinquished control years ago. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
Toby Keith writes songs like 1993's "Should've Been a Cowboy," and what's compelling is that you can't deconstruct its message. "Should've Been a Cowboy" is not like Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive," where Jon Bon Jovi claimed to live like a cowboy; Toby Keith wants to be a cowboy for real. ~ Chuck Klosterman
Bon Iver quotes by Chuck Klosterman
You killed a buddy of mine, back at the shelter." "Yeah? What about the other three guys I killed? You didn't like them as much?" That shut him up, at least. The elevator door whispered open. Jennifer and I stepped into the cage, bathed in cherry light. The merc leaned in, swiped his keycard, and hit the button for the penthouse floor. "Bon voyage, asshole," he said ~ Craig Schaefer
Bon Iver quotes by Craig Schaefer
Passion, not pedigree, will win in the end. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
It's the worst feeling, coming back after a performance when you are on a real high, and you go back alone to an apartment or a hotel room. People think we sit in hotels and eat bon bons. But the lifestyle can be very stressful. ~ Sondra Radvanovsky
Bon Iver quotes by Sondra Radvanovsky
When Bon Jovi goes out on tour again, that's who I'm going to go see because some of it survives... while the rest becomes compost in the garden of rock 'n' roll. ~ Lonn Friend
Bon Iver quotes by Lonn Friend
This very fact that crowds possess in common ordinary qualities explains why they can never accomplish acts demanding a high degree of intelligence. ~ Gustave Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Gustave Le Bon
We see, then, that the disappearance of the conscious personality, the predominance of the unconscious personality, the turning by means of suggestion and contagion of feelings and ideas in an identical direction, the tendency to immediately transform the suggested ideas into acts; these, we see, are the principal characteristics of the individual forming part of a crowd. He is no longer himself, but has become an automaton who has ceased to be guided by his will. ~ Gustave Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Gustave Le Bon
I can count all the lovers I've had on one hand ... if I'm holding a calculator. ~ Sebastian Horsley
Bon Iver quotes by Sebastian Horsley
God created the world and then created the devil, to blame for his mistakes. ~ Simon Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Simon Le Bon
I've got my old favorites like The Eagles and Bon Jovi. ~ Niall Horan
Bon Iver quotes by Niall Horan
Acquired or artificial prestige is much the most common. The mere fact that an individual occupies a certain position, possesses a certain fortune, or bears certain titles, endows him with prestige, however slight his own personal worth. ~ Gustave Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Gustave Le Bon
Taste is to literature what bon ton is in society. ~ Madame De Stael
Bon Iver quotes by Madame De Stael
It keeps you fit - the alcohol, nasty women, sweat on stage, bad food - it's all very good for you. ~ Bon Scott
Bon Iver quotes by Bon Scott
It's a little bit more like I want to give this to the people that are really into it first - I don't have a lot of desire to be like Bon Jovi or something like that, I really want to concentrate on the music. ~ Kip Winger
Bon Iver quotes by Kip Winger
Crowds always, and individuals as a rule, stand in need of ready-made opinions on all subjects. The popularity of these opinions is independent of the measure of truth or error they contain, and is solely regulated by their prestige. ~ Gustave Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Gustave Le Bon
I had learned of Gertrude Stein's bon mot that medicine opened all doors. This prompted me, in different moods, to view my future life as literary psychiatrist, globe-trotting tropical disease specialist, or academic internist. ~ Harold E. Varmus
Bon Iver quotes by Harold E. Varmus
The fae were gone from America. Their departure point? Bon Temps, Louisiana. The woods behind my house. ~ Charlaine Harris
Bon Iver quotes by Charlaine Harris
...the habitants, dressed in their brightest colors and wearing their shoes, lined the Route de Rivière, waving and shouting, "Bon jour, Monsieur Reneau. Congratulations on your marriage." Once he passed however, they whispered to each other. "Poor Monsieur Reneau. Certainly he is a fertile man, two wives, sixteen daughters, yet no son."
"The Reneau seed is cursed," some surmised but others held out hope for their Seigneur. "Perhaps this third wife will give him a healthy boy, eh?"
Zacharie, third Lord of Paradise.
The Last Lord of Paradise––Generation Three ~ Vivian LeMay
Bon Iver quotes by Vivian LeMay
All I have is this guitar, these chords and the truth. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
Tonight I'll dust myself off, tonight I'll suck my gut in, I'll face the night and I'll pretend I got something to believe in. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
I'll be there forever and a day - Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and
The words don't rhyme
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you - Always ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
I've never had a message for anyone in my entire life. Except maybe to give out my room number. ~ Bon Scott
Bon Iver quotes by Bon Scott
We were five heterosexual, good-looking men. We competed against each other for the sexiest girls ... I won. ~ Simon Le Bon
Bon Iver quotes by Simon Le Bon
This is the way I look at sex scenes: I have basically been doing them for a living for years. Trying to seduce an audience is the basis of rock 'n roll, and if I may say so, I'm pretty good at it. ~ Jon Bon Jovi
Bon Iver quotes by Jon Bon Jovi
The interesting people are always immoderate. ~ Jonathan Franzen
Bon Iver quotes by Jonathan Franzen
Guys are OK ... shake their hand ... Women are special. You can hug 'em. ~ Bon Scott
Bon Iver quotes by Bon Scott
That's how I got my name, you know. The Bonny scot, see? ~ Bon Scott
