“NAEEM” is a song which, like “Hey Ma,” was first performed in Washington, D.C. in December 2017. Since then, it has been used in Bon Iver’s collaboration with TU Dance on “Come Through.”
There seems to be two versions of the song – “NAEEM 1” and “NAEEM 2”, but the final version could be different...
Naeem Lyrics
[Intro]
More love
More love
More love
[Verse 1]
All along 'em I can hear me
I go for the caste
I fall off a bass boat
And the concrete's very slow
And the concrete's very slow
All along the sideline's bigger
I'm over the dash
I'm having a bad, bad toke
But the berries still to come
All along them I can hear ya
[Chorus]
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying (I can hear)
I can hear cry (Crying)
I can hear, I can hear (Crying)
I can hear, I can hear crying
(I can hear, I can hear)
[Verse 2]
All along me I can hear you
I'd occupy that
Can't sit back long while you're forming that
Oh my mind our kids got bigger
But I'm climbing down the bastion now
You take me out to pasture now
Well, I won't be angry long
Well, I can't be angry long
We burnt up in my bed
Standing on the mattress, Laul
Laul, can't we just patch this up?
And I cannot seem to carry it all
All along we I can hear me
[Chorus]
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying (I can hear)
I can hear cry (Crying)
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying
I can hear crying
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying
I can hear cry
I can hear, I can hear
I can hear, I can hear crying
[Verse 3]
All around me I can hear 'em
So what is gonna happen now?
If you don't look away
What's there to pontificate on now?
There's someone in my head
Tell them I'll be passing on
Tell them we're young mastodons
And it can't be that it's all
And it can't be that it's all
I'm telling you that I do feel ya
It's suddenly paths, mama
It ain't about class, mama
And it won't be very long
Oh, it won't be very long
[Bridge]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Outro]
(I can hear)
I can hear (Crying)
I can hear, I can hear (Crying, crying)
I can hear
(I can hear crying)
(Crying, crying)

What did Bon Iver say about "Naeem"?
We did a collaboration with a dance group called TU Dance, and that was one of the songs. So we’ve been performing “Naeem” as a part of this thing for a while. It’s in a different state, but it’s the finale of this big collaboration. And it just seemed very anthemic, and a very important part of wha...
