Bon Iver – Everything Is Peaceful Love

Bon Iver’s latest single, Everything Is Peaceful Love, signals that fABLE, the upcoming full-length album, won’t be a mere extension of SABLE, EP’s hushed intimacy. Instead, Justin Vernon leans into a richer, warmer sonic palette, blending his signature falsetto with an ’80s-tinged glow.

If SABLE, EP was about stripping things down, Everything Is Peaceful Love expands outward, embracing a layered, almost cinematic softness.
Vernon himself describes the track as the emotional cornerstone of the record, the moment when he knew exactly what kind of album fABLE should be. That sentiment is mirrored in the song’s accompanying video, directed by John Wilson. Known for his ability to find humor and meaning in everyday moments, Wilson compiles a lo-fi montage of people caught in unfiltered joy. It’s a fitting visual for a song that leans into happiness—not as a fleeting high, but as something fundamental, a necessary act of survival.

For now, though, “Everything Is Peaceful Love” is here—an invitation to stop overthinking and just enjoy the moment.
