PDLIF Lyrics
[Verse 1: Bon Iver]
Please don't live in fear
We can’t see from here right now
Send it off from here
And free your mind
[Chorus: Kacy Hill]
You know it never stays the same
And they will never tell you you're all to blame
[Verse 2: Bon Iver & Kacy Hill]
So you wanted it rearranged
(Fantastic)
And you wish it was only a shame
(At this stage)
(All we can say)
All there is really to say
We are at the beginning again
But oh
How things can change
So don't you, so don’t you, don't you
So don't you run away!
Think we on the wrong track somehow
While I'm not going to tell you that everyone's safe
I will say
There will be a better day
There will be a better day (There will be a better day)
There will be a better day
Please don't live in fear
We can’t see from here right now
Send it off from here
And free your mind
[Chorus: Kacy Hill]
You know it never stays the same
And they will never tell you you're all to blame
[Verse 2: Bon Iver & Kacy Hill]
So you wanted it rearranged
(Fantastic)
And you wish it was only a shame
(At this stage)
(All we can say)
All there is really to say
We are at the beginning again
But oh
How things can change
So don't you, so don’t you, don't you
So don't you run away!
Think we on the wrong track somehow
While I'm not going to tell you that everyone's safe
I will say
There will be a better day
There will be a better day (There will be a better day)
There will be a better day
[Bridge: Bon Iver]
I'd be good to fall back
Think we on the wrong track somehow
I'd be good to fall back
Think we on the wrong track somehow
[Pre-Chorus: Bon Iver]
There's several ways to know better
Papa was a go-getter (Papa was a go-getter, getter)
[Chorus: Kacy Hill]
You know it never stays the same
And they will never tell you you’re all to blame
[Outro: Bon Iver]
Please don’t live in fear
I'd be good to fall back
Think we on the wrong track somehow
I'd be good to fall back
Think we on the wrong track somehow
[Pre-Chorus: Bon Iver]
There's several ways to know better
Papa was a go-getter (Papa was a go-getter, getter)
[Chorus: Kacy Hill]
You know it never stays the same
And they will never tell you you’re all to blame
[Outro: Bon Iver]
Please don’t live in fear
About
Genius Annotation
“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.
At the bottom of the cover art, the symbols translate to “play it fucking loud” in wingding font.
