In the towers of your honeycomb

Here's to my third 'New Music Monday' post, I was about to go to sleep when I realised that I hadn't posted and I had to get my laptop out and post, totally dedicated..
Its literally within the hour that I saw this video, therefore its extremely new to me, and judging by the highly low youtube viewings, I'm guessing its new to lots of people too!
Bon Iver's new music video for 'Towers'. I have to say their previous music video for 'Holocene' (seen here) is amazing, I love how its set in the mountains and the young boy (who is so so adorable) is roaming around by himself and playing games. The innocence of it makes the song so chilling and gives greater meaning to the lyrics. I think it proposes several questions for example, 'And at once I knew I was not magnificent' - As the boy is so small in comparison to the vast mountains, could it be saying each person is nothing special when compared with the entirety of life? This is reiterated with the lyrics, 'And I can see for miles, miles miles' again highlighting how small we are in the great scheme of things. Well that's my opinion anyways, regardless of my meaningful rambling, the video and the song is purely beautiful. Bon Iver is one of my favourite bands, its safe to say I don't think there's one of their songs that I dislike.
Back to 'Towers', this is one of my favourite songs on the album so seeing that there was a video made me have to watch it straight away. Its similar to Holocene as it focuses on one person (this time an old man with a santa like beard) and him driving to the sea where he rows out to some strange wooden structure and then floats in the water. From my reading up on the song, its seems Justin Vernon has said its about drinking and losing virginity in halls but the songs seem pretty dark for it to be purely about that I feel, however its only a personal interpretation! I think if thats the case (virginity/drink theme) then maybe the older man in the video is contemplating on his former life, thinking back to his love (presumably now he is alone) and this could explain the sad feel in the song.Anyways I've tried to not ramble so much, whether I've succeeded in this is another story! The video link is as seen below, hope you like it and feel free to share your thoughts :) xx
