Bear's Den - Above The Clouds Of Pompeii Lyrics

2019: "Hey. You wanna start out your day pretending like you didn't just cry? Here's a recommendation just for you!"

gonna cry?
because I am

I have to stop trying to learn this on guitar, my tears are starting to rust the strings

Loserville

Einfach nur schön.

With roses red come lilies white

makes me feel my grandmother's prayers are still protecting me.. I miss her so much.

I literally wank to anything man! Hate myself

Life doesn't end after death.. Trust and have HOPE in Jesus Christ. Love endures forever. Amen.

Love it.. Capture me 💞

It's enough to make grown man cry, and that's okay

Made 100% with onions

whenever i want to cry, this is where i come

3 years ago i played this song on my grandmas funeral
I changed the Lyrics a bit to "you were the sun we always had"
It was the hardest challenge not to cry, cause the song fit so well, she would have never wanted us to cry about her and was the goodest person i ever known.
I cried a lot. But somehow thanks to this song it felt ok. Thank you @bear's_den

2:04 and here come the tears

Ok, I'm a 54 year old guy but I just bawled my eyes out

A song l can call my home❤️

This is the sweetest video on the internet

The 422 👎 are those who expected a girl hot with some curvy bum or curly hair instead of some later mid-aged wrinkled soon-to-be old lady.

IM SOBBING HERE OH MY GOODNESS 😭😭😭 What a beautiful song and video.

I've never danced with anyone

Well I'm sobbing

Lyrics:
We built our home out on the slopes
Pompeii beneath, she lay above
And how she haunted our home
How she haunted our home
You were a god in my eyes
Above the clouds, above the skies
You were a god in my eyes
You were a god

You took me walking through the town
Showed me the statues underground
Said 'just don't they look at peace?'
Sometimes I wish that was me
I was the son you always had
Tugging at your coat while you were sad
I was the son you always had
I was the son you always had

Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

I think the lyrics that get me most are "From roese red to lilies white". From romance and love to death T_T
So sad! But such an important message that your loved one would want you to be happy and keep living... Amazing song. <3

I love this

Encontré esta canción unos días antes de recibir la noticia de la muerte de mi abuelita y no podía dejar de escucharla. Cómo le extraño :(

Such a beautiful bittersweet song

Classic

I just lost my mom after a valiant fight against pancreatic cancer. My mom and dad had just celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary. I remember showing this to my mom telling her "it kinda reminds me of you and dad, but kinda makes me sad." Little did I know she had just been diagnosed with cancer and had not told us yet. This song will forever and always mean so much to me and my family. And the music video is absolute perfection.

Where is the lyrics guy!?

The dance of life never dies.thanks mum ..

So beautiful and moving. Makes me cry. We all need to cry now and then.

Is it about a volcano?

Great song

The dance of life carrys on mum until we dance again.

"Dont cry Hold your head up high "*starts sobbing *

Just powerful

2:07 :'(

BEST CONCERT OF MY ENTIRE LIFE last night in Salt Lake City, Utah! I never thought we could love you any more than we already did, but you made our love for you even more profound! ❤️🙏🏻❤️
Thank you universe for the power outage tonight. Thank you Bears Den for putting on the most personal & intimate all acoustic show I’ve ever seen! ❤️

~Nikki & Jason

Wow! I have to say I'm jealous of everyone there. I'm British but haven't managed to see them here yet.

Amazing 😍

I love it!

Sometimes you can feel pain without knowing where its coming from. This song is like that except it is also sad but uplifting at the same time. It is supporting and warm.

It's been 11 years... I was way too young to understand.

Come here after watchinng the cover's from wikijoy vlog, ben and joy.

Just love this one...

Dont you practise what you preach....

beatiful

The burden of losing the beloved ones is so heavy to carry, simply i can't dance around anymore 💔

Omg this song is soo beautiful!! Can someone recommend more songs like this please...

Haevn- Where the heart is

Anyone else noticed how it sounded like the song had come to an end when the lady was gone? I love the subtlety of that and what it represents.

You wanna cry? Because this is how you cry.

We built our home out on the slopes
Pompeii beneath, she lay above
How she haunted our home
How she haunted our home
You were a god in my eyes
Above the clouds, above the skies
You were a god in my eyes
You were a god
You took me walking through the town
Showed me the statues underground
Said just don't they look in peace
Sometimes I wish that was me
I was the son you always had
Tugging at your coat when you were sad
I was the son you always had
I was the son you always had
Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
You said stay in the car and wait
There's just some things I have to say
Don't you know I miss her, too
I miss her just as much as you
So my father and my son
As you end what she's begun
You'll lie patient by her side
With roses red come lilies white
I was too young to understand
The flowers slipping from your hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand
The flowers sleeping in her hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand
Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
And just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

The starting frame and ending frame are the same :(

I don't know why this song gets me every time even when I'm in the best of moods

Still here in 2019

Close to home

Didn't cry at his funeral so I guess he deserves these

First off, I love the song. It's one of my favorites... however, this was probably the worst video I have ever seen. Half the video is of two old people dancing.... then thirty seconds of looking at his empty hand, then the last bit is (you guessed it) an old man dancing alone.... this could have been much better portrayed than the video did. The message could have been conveyed much sooner and much more efficiently than it was. Overall, great music... bad directing.

When you hear a song that know will only grow to mean something more in time. Makes me want to appreciate that relationship for as long as it has left.

Oh man! I'm with no words to say how great is that.

I lost my grandma this morning and can not get this song out of my head. Pure beautiful.

the deepest, truest, and most beautiful lyrics ever. thankyou for making this song. it's gotten me through many hard times. xo

I'm not sure I deserved that...

Bear's Dan ist meine Entdeckung 2018. Ich habe Agape zufällig gehört, als ich Amazon Echo einfach mal eine Weile die Auswahl überlies. Seit 2 Wochen entdecke ich diese Band nun und mir gefällt was ich da so höre immer besser

Told myseld Id not cry today... well, that promise is over.

Beautiful - truly beautiful song.

😭 OH GOD

I feel guilty for not morning my grandmothers enough...

My mom died 4 months ago. I want to dance with you in heaven mom.

so beautiful.

Still one of the best songs ever made

A beautiful video showing why Clouds and the rest of Bear Den music are so great for the soul My Emma and I love this video.

Lovesick like :)

This life is but a dance... 💙
This is so beautiful. Something always brings me back to this song. ❤❤

Masterpiece

Hard to hold back tears when you read the lyrics and watch the video..

I love this band so much, their music is absolutely incredible. Getting a tattoo done from their song Sophie in a few days

only clicked on the video because I thought it was charles boyle in the thumbnail

reminds me of sufjan stevens softness and emotion at times...

The song is emotional, but the comments make it more tense, indeed

Emotionally very powerful song, since many days I couldn't cry as because I am a boy and we are not supposed to cry but after listening and watching this song many times I was finally so close to cry but again
the song itself teaches
"Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to
Just don't cry" and then I again understood the actual meaning of smile :)

Thanks for sharing life with American enthusiasm morning humming along with you butts

What is this genre I'm dying to find more...

Ohh nononono I'm gonna cry

Jesus christ this song makes me well up every time. Always think about my mum.

We built our home out on the slopes
Pompeii beneath, she lay above
How she haunted our home
How she haunted our home

You were a god in my eyes
Above the clouds, above the skies
You were a god in my eyes
You were a god

You took me walking through the town
Showed me the statues underground
Said just don't they look in peace
Sometimes I wish that was me

I was the son you always had
Tugging at your coat while you were sad
I was the son you always had
I was the son you always had

Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

You said stay in the car and wait
There's just some things I have to say
Don't you know I miss her, too?
I miss her just as much as you

So my father and my son
As you end what she's begun
You'll lie patient by her side
With roses red come lilies white

I was too young to understand
The flowers slipping from your hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand

I was too young to understand
The flowers sleeping in her hands
I was too young to understand
I was too young to understand

Don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

And just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

Please, just don't cry
Hold your head up high
She would want you to
She would want you to

My Grandmother took her own life when I was in first grade , and I really was too young to understand what happened. My father and I were devastated, because at this point both of his parents were gone, and since my parents were divorced, my grandmother had been like my mother. As lost as I know she was in her final moments, I know she didn't do what she did to hurt us, and so I'd like to think she wouldn't want us to tear ourselves apart.

this song doesn’t even fuck

This is what real music is. This makes me think of my piano teacher. She taught me everything I needed to know about music, plus so much more. Took lessons from first grade up until she had to stop teaching because of her health. 12 years after taking lessons, I remained a part of her life. I never really did get to play her the song I wrote. RIP Joyce Younk.

This song is so beautiful, it reminded me so much of my own grandmother who unfortunately passed a few years ago and it's only now that I'm really properly realising how much I miss her.

Even when your partner has passed it doesn't mean the dance ends. You continue on without them. It is a celebration of life and a remembrance. Just because they are no longer there doesn't mean you dance alone. As long as you remember them they will always be there.

The volcano erupts and larva just starts melting the people bellow

By far one of my favorites from this band. They are pathetically underrated and extremely talented. Hope I will get the opportunity to see them in concert soon

Don’t they look at peace? Sometimes, I wish that was me.

big respect for such wonderful song! Thank you!

My aunt is dying of cancer and this song was needed, thank you. She has a few days left, fought a long battle, and mostly I wasn't able to be there or to talk or see her or my uncle - work, life just didn't line up with that being possible - now in a day or a few she will be gone. I'm writing her a letter, hoping it will get there in time, mad that I have to hurry to write it and that it may not make it. I never would have guessed she could die young; she was so funny, alive. The message I guess is to literally cherish every second, find a way to dance before you die.

The songs amazingly sad and up lifting... But I feel like the video could have been better

HI EVERYONE, I'm doing a little project for fun. 😊 I would like to know what your FAVORITE SONGS are and after which, I would compile the songs in a youtube playlist.

If you would like to contribute, comment yours below and please limit it to FIVE songs :) Thank you and have a great life!

I thought this could be an amazing way to connect with people around the world we could share a lot of similarities with, but will never probably meet in the future.

If you would like to include what country you are from, feel free to do so!

I dread the day I will cry to this song. Cherish the ones you love now. Because if you havent lost them yet. Then every day with them should be spent with the ones that mean the most. Im off to see my mom. This is the best band out right now.

i miss you ,dad.but i believe one day we will meet.But now there are some things i have to say,some things i have to do.
