Bear’s Den Share New Single ‘Shadows’
British folk-rock duo Bear's Den – made up of Andrew Davie and Kevin Jones – have just shared their brand new single Shadows, a captivating indie-pop song out now via Communion Records.
The latest single to be taken from their highly-anticipated new album Blue Hours, set for release on May 13th, Shadows is a heartfelt song about knowing someone struggling with depression and wanting to be there for them, sharing a message of hope. This relatable storytelling is wrapped around a polished production with its rich and atmospheric aura nestled amongst a bed of sweetly alluring piano-led production nicely intertwined with lush strings and steady percussion which create the perfect atmosphere for the gorgeous vocals and raw and passionate songwriting to soar. I am really loving the emotion in this song and how it has a positive and hopeful message, sounding quite comforting for those that know someone struggling with mental health issues. Check it out below!
Speaking about the new single, Andrew Davie said,
The song is generally about talking to someone who is struggling with their depression. The chorus is saying I want you and all the shadows that walk beside you and all the difficult things that come with you and I guess that’s talking about someone’s depression... The point of the song is saying just hang in there and I'll be there. I think that’s probably why it felt right for it to be a quite triumphant sounding song amidst the darkness and sadness of the song...it's quite dark but deserved an epic approach.
While Kevin Jones added,
It's a positive song,
it's talking about unconditional love. We wanted the energy to be there, and to use strings on Fragments was really fascinating to us so let's do that again.
