본 이베어 Bon Iver 는 미국 인디 포크 싱어송라이터 저스틴 버논 Justin Vernon 을 주축으로 2007년 결성되었다. 2007년 버논은 데뷰앨범 For Emma, Forever Ago 를 발매하기에 이른다. 밴드의 이름인 본 이베어 Bon Iver 는 프랑스 어로 “좋은 겨울” 또는 “좋은 겨울을 보내라” 는 의미를 갖는다.
션캐레이 Sean Carey (드럼, 보컬, 피아노), 마이클 노이스 Michael Noyce(보컬, 바리톤 기타, 기타), 매튜매커헌 Matthew McCaughan (베이스, 드럼, 보컬) 이 하던 공연에 저스틴 버논 Justin Vernon 이 합류하게 되면서 밴드가 구성되었는데 재미있게도 마이클 노이스는 저스틴 버논의 기타학생이었다.
2007년 셀프발매 된 데뷔앨범은 미국 인디레이블 Jagjaguwar 와 계약하면서 2008년 전세계적으로 발매되며 큰 성공을 거두게 된다.
2006년 저스틴 버논은 예전 밴드가 해산하고, 여자친구와는 결별하고, 병까지 얻으며 절망 속에서 치유의 음악들을 자연스럽게 만들어내게 되었고 그 결과물이 본 이베어 Bon Iver 를 통해 세상의 빛을 보게 된 것이다. 거의 모든 매체를 통해 엄청난 찬사를 얻으며 2007년 최고의 음반 리스트에 올랐다. 영국의 Mojo 는 별 다섯개 만점을 주었고 빌보드 인디펜던트 차트 4위에 올랐다.
그리고 2011년 발매 된 두 번째 앨범 역시 모두의 걱정과 기대를 뒤로 하고 빌보드 종합차트 200 에 2위, 얼터너티브/록 차트 1위라는 기염을 토하며 끊임 없는 사랑을 받고 있다.

I'm lost in the woods, I'm out of my mind, And if I Go, To slow down some, I'm lost in the woods, I'm out of my mind, If I'm going to still, Slow down the time, I'm lost in the woods, I'm down on my line, I'm building a city, Down the tide, I'm lost in the world, I'm down my whole tide, I'm losing the city, And im down for the time, Down for the time say shes down for the night, I'm never lonely no, Down for the time, I'm lost in the world, I'm down for the time, I'm new to the city, Down for the night x3
Your my devil,your my angel Your my heaven, your my hell, You're my now, you're my forever, You're my freedom, your my jail, You're my lies your my truth, You're my war you're my truce Your my questions your my proof Your my stress your mama's shoes Mama say mama say mama gos-an Lost in this plastic light, Let's break out of this fake ass party, And turn this into a classic night, If we die in each others arms, We'll get layed in that afterlife, And if we die in each others arms, We still get layed yea, I'm lost in the woods, Running for my life, I'm down on my mind, I'm new to the city,
Down for the night, I'm lost in the world, I'm down on my mind, Im new to the city, And im down for the night, Down for the night [x3] Ya oh wow [x5] Who will survive in America?[x4] I'm lost in the world, I'm down on my mind, I'm new to the city, Down for the night, I'm lost in the world, I'm down on my mind, Im new to the city, And im down for the night, Down for the night [x3]

Hey oh wow oh [x5] Woahwoah [x2]
Alright I'm gonna have you do on the sideline, And the new words held are revolution, And people don't want to hear the preachers spill or squeal, And America is now blood and tears instead of milk and honey, Youngsters who were programmed to keep fucking up, Thinking Paul revere and mat turner as the good guys, America stripped from bed and we had not opened up our eyes,
The signs of truth are tattooed upon our vagina, We learned to our amazement the untold tale of scandal, 2 long centuries in a rusty vault hosed down daily with gagging perfume, America was a bastard a illegitimate daughter of the mother country whose legs were spread around the world and a rape as known as freedom, Democracy liberty and justice were code words, for the (bubbling x4) In the mother countries crotch, What does Webster say about soul? All I want is a good home and a wife and kids, And some food to feed them every night. After all is said and done, Build a new route to china if they'll have you Who will survive in America? [x5]
Come on skinny love just last the year Pour a little salt we were never here My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer
I tell my love to wreck it all Cut out all the ropes and let me fall My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Right in the moment this order's tall
And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And in the morning I'll be with you But it will be a different kind And I'll be holding all the tickets And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love, what happened here? Suckle on the hope in light brassieres My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my Sullen load is full, so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient And I told you to be fine And I told you to be balanced And I told you to be kind And now all your love is wasted And then who the hell was I? And I'm breaking at the britches And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you? Who will fight? Who will fall far behind?
Up with your turret Aren't we just terrified? Shale, screen your worry from what you won't ever find Don't let it fool you Don't let it fool you...down Dancing around, folds in her gown Sea and the rock below Cocked to the undertow Bones blood and teeth erode, with every crashing node Wings wouldn't help you Wings wouldn't help you...down Down fills the ground, gravity's proud You barely are blinking Wagging your face around When'd this just become a mortal home? Won't, won't, won't, won't Won't let you talk me Won't let you talk me…down Will pull it taut, nothing let out
모처럼 일찍 퇴근을 했던 날. CGV 펜타점에서 이 영화를 하길래 혼자 보러 갔다. 이 계속 걸려 있었다면 그 영화를 봤었을 것이다. 와 이 영화 사이에서 약간 갈등하다가 마리옹 꼬띠아르 인터뷰 기사에서 이 영화를 언급했던 것도 기억이 나고 해서 이 작품으로 낙찰함. 자크 오디아르가 감독이었다는 것도 모르고 갔다가 크레딧 올라갈 때 감독 이름 보고 깜짝 놀랐다. 난 정말 이 영화를 그냥 보러 간 거였다. 그랬는데... 그랬는데.....
