Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and a handful of collaborators created "PDLIF" (Please Don't Live in Fear) while self-isolating during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. Over a rising three-note saxophone and pealing piano, Vernon croons words of hope and comfort. Please don't live in fear We can't see from here right now Send it off from here And free your mind Said Vernon: "It serves as a subtle reminder that, though apart, we're never alone; the importance of collaboration and community remains as strong as ever."
Vernon centered "PDLIF" on a sample from Alabaster dePlume's 2012 track "Visit Croatia." It was Polica drummer Drew Christopherson who introduced the Bon Iver frontman to the song, and it immediately inspired him.
That's L.A.-based artist Kacy Hill crooning the chorus. Her 2014 track "Experience" made several prominent top songs of the year lists.
