“PDLIF” (Please Don’t Live In Fear), is the first glimpse of new material from Bon Iver since 2019 album i,i. The song was created by Justin Vernon and a handful of collaborators during isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic with proceeds going towards helping frontline healthcare workers. In the post announcing the single Vernon said this:It serves as a subtle reminder that, though apart, we’re never alone; the importance of collaboration and community remains as strong as ever.
