- Bear's Den - 'Crow', filmed in São Paulo, Nashville, London and Brussels. Thank you to everyone who came down and shared their stories with us.
'Crow' is from the new album 'So that you might hear me.' BearsDen.lnk.to/Sothatyoumigh...
“Hi everyone
We are going to release a new song called ‘Crow’ in a few weeks and we are really excited for you to hear it.
This song was written in memory of my Mum’s boyfriend who lived with us growing up. He was like a second father figure to me but unfortunately he passed away when I was 15.
We thought that a music video that celebrated the idea of family would be really cool. So if you want to be in a music video we’d love you to bring your mum, dad, grandmother, grandfather or guardian along with you.
We thought it would be really beautiful to film the reactions of you both just listening to the song together. We’d love for you to be a part of it.
Hope to hear from you.
Love,
The Den.”

I just dropped you guys off from my Uber in Oklahoma City. Just letting you know I really did look up your music (lol) and it's beautiful! I hope you guys have fun!
this is so sweet
❤️
😊😊
This is so wholesome!!! ❣️❣️
As a 27-year-old man who has never lost anyone this close to them in my life, from hearing this song at 5.10am for the first time, until 6:50am when I had to take my headphones off at work, I've listened to this on repeat, crying. I've either never heard a tribute to someone that is this beautiful, or I'm just emotional for lack of sleep. Either way, thank you, Bear's Den. I love this ❤
So right.
💕
a few days after my husband passed away in 2014, i went to a deserted hilltop in the Scottish Borders and screamed out his name. it was only after i did that, and felt the release of something primal inside of me, that i noticed black feathers lay strewn on the ground around me. other times black feathers have found their way in front of me and where i walk- along a street or an area where no other feathers can be found..... thank you for the song......
So sorry for your loss and that's crazy
@R E doing ok, thank you.
I've had a stepdad since I was 7 years old( age 21 now). My brother and I up to that point had never had a father figure in our lives. We didn't need one. So we never showed him any kind of respect or affection. He was never mean to us but he had his ways of disciplining us, which made us resent him even more. We never genuinely thanked him or showed any real manners towards him, always told him things like "why don't you just leave", "we don't want you here", "you'll never be our dad". Always trying to make him feel unwelcome in his own home basically until I moved out at 18. After moving out I stopped being that way and started treating him as a member of the family, but never apologizing. The line "I never really thanked you for all of the light you brought into my mother's eyes" really struck a cord with me. It made think about how good of a man he was for making my mother so happy, as well as despite my brother and I, providing and caring for us unconditionally. This year was the first year I got him a card and gift for Father's day, I told him I loved him and thanked him for being there when no one else was. I wasn't expecting it, but he hugged me and told me thank you. I think he knew how much I meant it. It took a huge weight off my shoulders and I look at him now not as a stranger or the guy my mom's married to, but as my dad. I love you
MidnightWookie I wish I could do the same with mine
You are an amazing person to realize that so young! So glad you got the chance to tell him. Your story with this song would make a brilliant Guinness ad. :) I don't think that would be tacky, cheapening your story at all - the Guinness ads are art, everyone loves them, think of the Michael Fassbender one.
This is a beautiful comment to this video. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
thank u for sharing so beautifull
such a beautiful comment..it made me cry..
"My beautiful crow, all those black feathers perched deep in my soul won't let me let you go" wow, such beautiful poetry ❤
4:43 the most beautiful scene
Haven't managed to listen to this song without crying yet ♥
Same 🥺
Glad I’m not the only one x
@@jessiefitzhenry8017 Me neither 😢
Same
Damn, now I'm in tears at my desk at work.
me too!
as I did......tears deep out of my soul ♥
Me too :)
Late coming to Bears Den but Crow is a masterpiece.
Ditto
This track gets me every time I hear it. Miss you dad.
This. This is the songwriting that made me fall in love with Bear's Den and the writing style of Davie. So many writers are creating material that's intended to apply to the listener's life, which gains them popularity since more people can relate, but Davie is just so specific and personal. He's a book I can't put down; I want to know his specific story. Never change, Davie.
It was an absolute honour to film with you guys. Thank you!
To me it"s the same thing.
When your heart just gets clean ripped out, what a beautiful haunting masterpiece 💔
I lost my nan (my best friend), then my step mom (my rock) four months apart. My world crumbled into a million little pieces. That was two years ago…. I still revisit this song when I’m feeling down, and every time, I pick back up a broken piece.
Never thought watching a video of people listening to a song would make me so emotional! Such a beautiful song
This is so beautiful. I can identify fully with you, I'm so sorry for your loss. I too lost my beautiful black crow. I was 16. I know he still walks by my side every day. I feel so sad because he's my brothers Dad and my brother was only 6 when we lost him, sadly my brother doesn't remember him fully, the beautiful thing is my brother has his Dads laugh. I feel it in my heart every time he laughs. It's wonderful. 💗
This is for you Vic..(Dad)...our beautiful black crow. 💫💫💗💗💗
So amazing that me and my Mum got to be part of this video!
Nice!
It is a beautiful video!
Me and my daughter feel just the same...
@Arona Bolebano We are at both at 0.41 and then my mum is at 1.24 I am at 4.09 :)
Arona Bolebano thank you
I miss you mum
You are forever in my heart
Just leave it to Bear´s Den to completely obliterate your heart with beauty... they will deliver, they will.
Who could dislike this? It's the most most beautiful tune song I've heard since Agape. We all have tears in our eyes..
How can this get a thumbs down? Seriously the best song they’ve released. Absolute stunning!
The tears blurred people's eyesight and they accidentally disliked.
I have a line from their song "Sophie" tattooed on my arm, now I am aiming for a crow too
Wow, this is beautiful!
I did tear up in Glasgow when I heard this :'))
85% score rate of crying. 1 of my favourite songs.
This is just beautiful 💔 RIP to this beautiful soul and all the loved ones that this song reminded us of. ✌
God bless you, friend ! :)
Oh dear, my SOUL! Found you guys (apparently I'm rather late to the game and have some catching up to do) thanks to a random CZcams recommendation. This song? Are you kidding me? Moving doesn't begin to describe it and the video? Devastating in the best possible way. HUGE FAN from the first listen - thank you so much for the gift of your music. It is indeed perched deep in my soul and won't let go.
This is real music!
Absolutely outstanding work guys
220 lbs. of blubbering, tattooed mess...Thanks guys...Looking forward to seeing you again soon in Canada!!!
The melody gets trapped in your head. Absolutely lovely. "I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit to but I do, I still do. All those black feathers purged deep in my soul won't let me let you go" "A stranger who I learned to love, a friend when really nice one was" ugh!!
So simple but so hard hitting
Humanity over Metaverse and virtual realities. These human reactions, delicate, emotional and intense, is what it is all about. Beautiful song and beautiful reactions at a soul level. Love it.
I'm not crying, you're crying..
This is honestly just such a beautiful, meaningful and heartfelt song. It's so personal yet everyone can relate to it in some way. The whole of the new album is just a thing of beauty, thank you for sharing it with us
I listened to this song the day it came out, I’m a huge fan. My grandfather passed away a month or so ago and I’ve avoided this song like the plague bc i knew how it would make me feel. My tactic is to avoid things unpleasant and pretend they aren’t real. If i don’t acknowledge it, it didn’t happen. And now here i am, sobbing like i knew i would be. He formed so much of my life, and i can never thank him enough. I love you gramps, and thank you bears den for these bitter sweet tears.
When you miss someone, and then listening to this beautiful song....
God, I love this song, lyrically stunning, I sob my heart out - play this back to back with A Good Love Pt.2 - that’s my therapy for the day. Going to see Bears Den at Elstree on 1st September, can’t wait…❤
Oh boy that hit the feels
This song reminds me of "Fourth of July" by Sufjan Stevens, one of my favorites. This will be one of my favorites, too. Well done. ❤️💔
Heard this on the radio last night just as I got home. Sat and listened to it to the end. Incredible song - I'm blown away. Good luck with your career, I hope to get to see you live one day. Best wishes, Joan (aged 64 !!!)
Def. my fave BD song of all time! Makes me cry (good tears), every time I listen to it!! ❤
"I think of you much more than I
Would like to admit that I
Do before strangers
But there you are
Whistling through the trees again
Rustling through the leaves my friend
A feather on my pillow
Lets me know that you're near
I remember the night that you arrived
December maybe, '95
Your hair and your breath smelled
Of John Player Specials
A stranger who I learned to love
A friend when really no one was
My Daedalus, my wings to fly
Why'd you leave me behind?
My beautiful crow
And all those black feathers
Perched deep in my soul
Won't let me let you go
I never really thanked you for
All of the light you brought
Into my mother's eyes
So many others tried
Her sadness since the day you left
She will not get out of bed
She stares out the window
Smokes a black pack of JP's
I was out on St Paul's
When I heard about your fall
Walking with Caroline
She bums smokes from time to time
I walked home alone that night
I could feel you when I closed my eyes
I looked up into the night
And watched black feathers fall from the sky
I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit
But I do
I still do
My beautiful crow
And all those black feathers
Perched deep in my soul
Won't let me let you go
I have tried to push you down
I have tried to cut you out
You're rattling your cage
I'm rattling my cage
I have tried to drown you out
Drink till I don't hear the sound
The song's still the same
The song's still the same
My beautiful crow
And all those black feathers
Perched deep in my soul
Won't let me let you go"
I don't think I've had a reaction like this to a piece of music ever
My father passed quietly 3 hour's after his 68th birthday surrounded by family and loved ones on the 4th of Sept, we were told it was terminal cancer on the Tuesday and he was gone in less than four days, this morning the 17th Sept its still haven't hit me, but its my wife my family/friends and your music on repeat that's gotten me this far. The next few weeks are going to be tough but I want to thank you for your songs that touch the soul.
Great song... And thanks for putting us in this video!
You guys did a great job ;)
That's so cool
This song was released on the day one of my students passed away.Perhaps it was a mere coincidence. But this song has helped me to deal with his passing and coming to terms with it. So thank you for sharing it before the album dropped. I hope to hear it when I see you guys in Toronto.
Never ever forget you mum and dad thank you bears den
This song of loss, with its beautiful video, is for all lost souls. It evokes for me the tightrope from painfully missing to happily remembering. A walk that must be taken bravely, stepping forward alone.
Fighting back tears at work..
This is gorgeous
I listened to this song a few times off the album first without watching the video and while it's an amazing song and I loved it, it didn't really evoke any real deep emotion in me....and then I watched the video! 😭
Omg, I nearly floated away with all the snot bubbles. (I get snotty when I cry).
Words can’t express how much I love this song. Thank you.
Every song of them reaches my heart and stay there 💝
I don't know how they do it... but it literally is EVERY SONG
So grateful to have been a part of this video with my Mum. Wonderful song!
Bubbling just at the sight of it.
This video brings a tear to my eye whenever I watch it. It's so beautiful.
Masterpiece ! ! Incredible ...
Thank you to all the crows in my life
man. took a break from studying to cry at my desk. whoa. back to network configurations.
I think of my older brother with this song...and cry. A lot.
Thank you for yet another wonderful moving song and great video, (small cameo by my daughter and I). Looking forward to Shepherds Bush next week. X
The “I never thanked you for” verse feels like an ode to Leonard Cohen’s Famous Blue Raincoat, and just as emotionally sad ♥️
This was incredibly put together and you've really touched my heart with this one. Made me think of someone I lost many years ago, just hauntingly beautiful. Thank you Bear's Den.
Tears in my Eyes!
Wow... Didn't even notice when a year ran down my face. Just wow!
Can't wait for the album, if this song is anything to go by, gorgeous heart wrenching, song 🇬🇧
Love it! Thanks for returning to your old style. ☁️❤️
magic! the last 30 seconds, omg, i could die.... 😌❤
The song instantly gave me goosebumps. Great job.
This reminds me of my father that died when I was 15. My heart aches every day...
I 'found' Bear's Den, when my wife was watching an episode of Holby City a couple of months back. Sahara, was the track being used on the aforementioned programme. I've been hooked since then. Thank god for itunes. One of my best mates, Jim, passed away last year, the guy was like a second Father to me, and although I don't think my memories of him will fade, this track serves as a touching reminder. Brilliantly written song, with poignant lyrics.
Thank you Bear's Den. Great musicianship as always.
Merry Christmas Jim, wherever you are Mate.
I am 43 years old and my stepdad, my idol, my friend, my Lasse passed away thia week and a friend of mine inteoduced me to this song.
Ok I cried so much
I think I needed that
Any relation with "Grief is the thing with feathers", by Max Porter? Anyway, all my love to your mum and wish her well. So hope she'll recover from this blow.
Thank you for letting us be part of this. It couldn't be more beautiful!
This band helped me get the help i needed. Amazing song as always. Ive lost two people close to me easter and i just cant get over them. It almost like the memories haunt me and i think about them everyday.
This is beautiful. I have listened to this song so many times, but every time I gets me. It’s so powerful and touches those heart strings.
I still can't get through this one without crying...it always reminds me of my only grandfather (my other grandfather died before I was born), whom I lost at 12...such an amazing song & my absolute fave of theirs, next to Fossils...love you guys, please keep making amazing music for us all!! 🙂☺
Ooh boy. That was really beautiful guys, I’m crying like a total mess. A+
Perfect!
The only song that generated feels from me in a very long time.
I miss you.
I really have watched black feathers fall from the sky. A message from the other side. Great job on this song. Captures grief so perfectly
this is so beautiful and this song brings me so much comfort when i am missing my mother, thank you.
This ia one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen or heard. Just astounding,. Thank you for this.
You made me cry. This song is wonderful.
Love this song so much ❤
Cant not cry everytime. Raw emotion thank you Bears Den and thank you to those in the video
It's as though this wonderful song was written for me. There is a phenomenal amount of relatability with the lyrics: the year '95; the cigarettes; the best friend and father he became to me; the joy he brought to my mother; the drink, and ensuing alcoholism he would die from (at 46, 2011); the grief I have never been able to properly process or even begin understand; the love, rage, anger and intensity of emotion I feel when I remember him (especially when listening to this incredibly poetic song) and the piercing pain reality brings when I realize we'll never meet again. R.I.P John. Thank you for being there for a scared sh*tless kid when a father wasn't. You're always in my heart.
I'm in tears now. Thank you.
So beautiful.
I love songs that tell a story. Beautiful lyrics, not just repetitive one liners. This is amazing. Moved to tears. I can’t let my beautiful black crow go either. I don’t think I really want to.
I generally don't hit the thumbs up button, but I just felt I needed to with this video. It's simplicity is beautiful and I have tears running down my cheeks as I write this. It was a privilege to hear this song live at your Dublin show only a few days ago.
Beautiful...
One of the most beautiful pieces I've heard for a long time!
And there’s another one you guys have completely out done yourselves with. Bravo gents.
Beauty that leaves one breathless, both the song and the video.
Amazing ❤️
WOW ! Fantastic video - great song ! Goosebumps from Germany - THX for that !!!
What a beautiful song and a beautiful video 💔 I love you guys! If I had known you'd film in Brussels I'd have reached out. Next time!
Now there are two Bear's Den videos that'll make me cry on sight. This is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
No words for that.Just beautiful. Thank you Bears.
This is so hauntingly gorgeous. Hits deep.
This music video made my morning! so cute and lovely. Thanks so much
