Bon Iver has released a new song titled “THINGS BEHIND THINGS BEHIND THINGS,” featured on their recent EP, SABLE. This track was written by Justin Vernon in 2020 during a period of creative uncertainty, reflecting his introspection and artistic challenges at that time.
The song delves into themes of self-reflection and the fear of change. Vernon expresses a desire to move beyond unsettling emotions, singing about his reluctance to merely “go through the motions” in life. The lyrics suggest a struggle with personal growth and the complexities underlying one’s identity.
Accompanying the release, a black-and-white music video directed by Erinn Springer visually mirrors the song’s introspective nature. The minimalist video features Vernon in contemplative settings, enhancing the track’s reflective mood.
