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
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.
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!
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 ❤
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......
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.
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.
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 think a lot of my dogs when listening to this. He used to chase magpies, never catching or hurting them, just loving to chase. The day we had to have him put down, I was waiting in the truck after saying my goodbyes and I looked behind me and there was a magpie sitting on the back of the truck. Ever since that day whenever I see a magpie I just say a quiet hello, imagining it’s him just checking in on me. We lost his brother a few years after and I now do the same with him. Thank you for your beautiful music, so full of stories and love. ❤️
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 UA-cam 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.
My crow smelled of Gold Block tobacco. His name was Roy. He introduced my parents and was a fixture of mine and my brother's life, until he passed away of heart disease at 43. I miss him, and this song makes me think of him every time.
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. 💫💫💗💗💗
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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! 😭
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.
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
Absolutely every single thing about this song is perfect. The video only adds to the complex emotional depth of the song. I can identify with every single person in the video, which is amazing.
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 !!!)
This song's got me down on my knees in tears... Found my biological father after 38 years. I only met him and hugged him for nearly two weeks. After that, one year later in 2019, he died at the age of 63. Never saw him again. "Only his feathers are perched deep in my soul. I won't let me, let him go." Thnx for this beautiful song Guys! 🥺😢😭🍀💪🏽
I miss you so much, big brother. Every time i have really needed you, this song has appeared on my feed. Just like now. Thank you for being my crow. Thank you for the music.
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'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
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…❤
I sent this song to my stepdad. I thanked him for all he did for me, my little brother, and how he helped my dad. Reading all of these comments of people sharing their stories was to me even better than the video. Hearing people talk about how this song affected them, their life experiences with grief and pain. This is what real music is all about. It brings us together. IT binds us, great music is about the human experience. I just recently found you guys but I can tell you have already made your way into my heart with your incredible and emotional music.
Within the first two versus, I knew what this song is about. Not ever hearing this song or the artists voice before, the tears welled up and fell voluntarily unconditionally over my face for my son and the dear friend that he lost. My son was 19 when she passed less than 2 years ago. There isn't a day that passes without a moment of reflection for her kindness. This song wraps my memories in comfort and love for them both. Thank you for sharing such beautifully assembled words and thoughts.
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.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I'm taking my younger brother with me to your show in Toronto on May 24th, I can't wait! I'm 40 and he is 30, we don't like many of the same bands for some reason but we both love Bears Den. I really feel for the man in the video who is wearing the Pink Floyd shirt, I don't know you but I feel for you brother.
Such a beautiful, thoughtful, touching and taking idea, video .. and song !! My sweet Mom would probably have been delighted to take part of it, together with my sister and I - Music is part of our lives since the beginning .. Bravo for this .. and for your wonderful gig in Brussels last week
I heard this song in the background and really loved the melody. After listening to the lyrics with the music I was overcome with emotions and cried. So sad yet so beautiful.
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"
Sometimes a song resonates with such power. I have listened to this song a millions times since hearing it on 6Music at 5am one miserable morning in the winter when I basically hated life and everything I'd become. I feel a lot better these days. This song will be with me everyday in my head and heart. Thank you BD
The chords struck by the people who are no longer there are as powerful as the words, music, and reactions by those who are. A song which goes straight to the heart of what it means to be human…to love and remember. Thank you Bear’s Den. Timeless.
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.

@R E doing ok, thank you.
"My beautiful crow, all those black feathers perched deep in my soul won't let me let you go" wow, such beautiful poetry ❤
It certainly is! ❤
Haven't managed to listen to this song without crying yet ♥
Same 🥺
Glad I’m not the only one x
@@jessiefitzhenry8017 Me neither 😢

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
It was an absolute honour to film with you guys. Thank you!
To me it"s the same thing.
4:43 the most beautiful scene
Never thought watching a video of people listening to a song would make me so emotional! Such a beautiful song
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

When your heart just gets clean ripped out, what a beautiful haunting masterpiece 💔

Who could dislike this? It's the most most beautiful tune song I've heard since Agape. We all have tears in our eyes..

So grateful to have been a part of this video with my Mum. Wonderful song!
"Tracker" ♥️ brought me here. Wow. Loneliness. Touched my mind and soul. Vocals. ♥️
"thought that I was over this s...t but I'm not."

This is the most human thing I've ever seen.
This song and video makes me a better person. Thank you for this enormous dose of renewed empathy for humanity. ❤️
Thank you to all the crows in my life
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.
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 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.

I don't think I've had a reaction like this to a piece of music ever
man. took a break from studying to cry at my desk. whoa. back to network configurations.
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.
What an amazing totally underrated band
When you miss someone, and then listening to this beautiful song....
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! 😭
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.
Just leave it to Bear´s Den to completely obliterate your heart with beauty... they will deliver, they will.
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
85% score rate of crying. 1 of my favourite songs.
Absolutely every single thing about this song is perfect. The video only adds to the complex emotional depth of the song. I can identify with every single person in the video, which is amazing.
every time I begin to get cynical about humanity I return to this video...and it restores me.
Omg, I nearly floated away with all the snot bubbles. (I get snotty when I cry).
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 !!!)
Never ever forget you mum and dad thank you bears den
This song's got me down on my knees in tears... Found my biological father after 38 years. I only met him and hugged him for nearly two weeks. After that, one year later in 2019, he died at the age of 63. Never saw him again. "Only his feathers are perched deep in my soul. I won't let me, let him go." Thnx for this beautiful song Guys! 🥺😢😭🍀💪🏽
Nothing expresses the glory and pain of being human better than music.
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 really have watched black feathers fall from the sky. A message from the other side. Great job on this song. Captures grief so perfectly
I miss you so much, big brother. Every time i have really needed you, this song has appeared on my feed. Just like now. Thank you for being my crow. Thank you for the music.
Strangely my young nephew died of brain cancer . A few days after he died a crow kept coming to my brothers garden. My nephew loved crows
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 you Bear's Den. Great musicianship as always.
Merry Christmas Jim, wherever you are Mate.
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
Thank you for the magic of yesterday's accoustic concert in Mons, Belgium
I did tear up in Glasgow when I heard this :'))
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…❤
Wer die Musik von Bear's Den bisher mochte wird diesen Song LIEBEN.
So simple but so hard hitting
This is real music!
Absolutely outstanding work guys
I sent this song to my stepdad. I thanked him for all he did for me, my little brother, and how he helped my dad. Reading all of these comments of people sharing their stories was to me even better than the video. Hearing people talk about how this song affected them, their life experiences with grief and pain. This is what real music is all about. It brings us together. IT binds us, great music is about the human experience.

This song makes me SOB…… finally watched the vid… I see I’m not alone 😭🫶🏻
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
Bubbling just at the sight of it.
Ooh boy. That was really beautiful guys, I’m crying like a total mess. A+
Fighting back tears at work..
This is gorgeous
This video brings a tear to my eye whenever I watch it. It's so beautiful.
I think of my older brother with this song...and cry. A lot.
Thank you for letting us be part of this. It couldn't be more beautiful!
Words can’t express how much I love this song. Thank you.
Over the years you have become my favorite band, Bear's den. Simply, thanks for what you do.
This is just beautiful 💔 RIP to this beautiful soul and all the loved ones that this song reminded us of. ✌
God bless you, friend ! :)
And there’s another one you guys have completely out done yourselves with. Bravo gents.
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.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I'm taking my younger brother with me to your show in Toronto on May 24th, I can't wait! I'm 40 and he is 30, we don't like many of the same bands for some reason but we both love Bears Den. I really feel for the man in the video who is wearing the Pink Floyd shirt, I don't know you but I feel for you brother.
The “I never thanked you for” verse feels like an ode to Leonard Cohen’s Famous Blue Raincoat, and just as emotionally sad ♥️
Beautiful sentiment, beautiful poetry, beautiful souls
I wish there was a way to like a youtube video again. Want to hit the like button everytime i come here
Such a beautiful, thoughtful, touching and taking idea, video .. and song !! My sweet Mom would probably have been delighted to take part of it, together with my sister and I - Music is part of our lives since the beginning .. Bravo for this .. and for your wonderful gig in Brussels last week
Oh boy that hit the feels
magic! the last 30 seconds, omg, i could die.... 😌❤
Can't wait for the album, if this song is anything to go by, gorgeous heart wrenching, song 🇬🇧
I heard this song in the background and really loved the melody. After listening to the lyrics with the music I was overcome with emotions and cried. So sad yet so beautiful.
Cant not cry everytime. Raw emotion thank you Bears Den and thank you to those in the video
No words. Just, beautiful.
Perfect!
god. every time you release a new song i'm utterly destroyed with emotion.
This reminds me of my father that died when I was 15. My heart aches every day...
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"
Sometimes a song resonates with such power. I have listened to this song a millions times since hearing it on 6Music at 5am one miserable morning in the winter when I basically hated life and everything I'd become. I feel a lot better these days. This song will be with me everyday in my head and heart. Thank you BD
The chords struck by the people who are no longer there are as powerful as the words, music, and reactions by those who are. A song which goes straight to the heart of what it means to be human…to love and remember. Thank you Bear’s Den. Timeless.
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.
Such a beautiful tribute to those we have lost
Now there are two Bear's Den videos that'll make me cry on sight. This is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.
Great song... And thanks for putting us in this video!
You guys did a great job ;)
That's so cool
this is so beautiful and this song brings me so much comfort when i am missing my mother, thank you.
