Bon Iver shares “Everything Is Peaceful Love” video directed by John Wilson

Earlier this week news of a new Bon Iver album was announced alongside a tease that the first single would arrive on Friday. True to his word, Justin Vernon has come back on this Valentine's Day with the appropriately titled “Everything Is Peaceful Love.” The song comes with a video directed by John Wilson of HBO’s How To with John Wilson that is sure to put a smile on your face. Check it out below.

In a statement, Vernon said: “I knew what kind of record I wanted to make the day we made ‘Everything Is Peaceful Love.’ I always knew that would be the feeling I wanted to share first. I wanted the video to just be people smiling uncontainably. Luckily, Eric Timothy Carlson suggested getting in touch with John Wilson from How To With John Wilson. Simply the most poignant and hilarious program in all of television. We were extremely fortunate that John liked the idea. He went out, shot a bunch of fun stuff, and edited it all to the song. It gives me what I want for this album, all in one video. The idea that happiness and joy are the highest form and the true buoyancy of survival, and even taking yourself less seriously could heal the world.”
