Bear's Den - Elysium Lyrics

Those horns.
It only gets better the more I listen to it.

I’ve been watching this video at least once a month for five years now. I stil sob every time.

This is perfect.

Brilliant concept for this video.
Amazing song :)

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

Listen closely and notice the tune sounds like the one from "The Croods" movie.

This video still brings me to tears every time I watch it. This brings back all of my memories as an SPU student when the shooting happened.

Everything about this is so beautiful. I know it was such a tragic event. But to honour him and pay tribute this way is so lovely and moving

This really is beautiful

Drinking out of a clear plastic bottle? Rookies.

awesome video! , and awesome friends!

dunno why this song reminds me of the novel 'Catcher in the Rye'

god this song is beautiful. i remembering listening to it on a long overnight flight to budapest. maybe it was the sleep deprivation or the sheer brilliance this song radiates, but i started crying and couldn't stop

There are too many stupid comments. Admit it... you had to Google Elysium to find out what it meant. See, you should've paid closer attention in HS lit class.

❤️🇧🇷

Don't let bitterness become you.

this song makes me think of my friend who i lost to suicide :( its been almost a year since he's gone and i miss him everyday. he took a piece of my heart when he left. I'll always miss you sov,i hope you're at peace baby

Thank you bears den for everything! Your music is so inspiring and beautiful! Favourite band!!!!

I see a lot of hedonistic aimlessness that runs headlong into tragedy and has no foundation on which to cope with it.

You mean he should have just dodged the bullet?

2:53 “SO NO HEAD?”

this video makes you appreciate everything you ever asked for or have... i love it 😭❤️😶

They cut him.

Ohmygod 💔

The guy getting the tattoo prison style definitely got an infection. That was hardly sanitary.

That, right there, is one of the most beautifiul and emotional music videos I've ever seen in my life. Proud of the band, proud of the acting and the way they got over the loss. Masterpiece

Wow these guys hit a home run with every song wow just wow

Wow a bunch of kids with rich parents and good looks.

..... and you base your comment on what exactly?

Powerful, Emotion's and beautifully  filmed ..anyone over 15 who has had wild days/years I am sure can relate this film in there own way and reflect on there own experiences .  To anyone that hasn't experienced that intensity of feeling and boding with your mates living life on the seat of your pants ..and the loss of a close friend ,, might not understand the feeling and might leave negative comment's ,so to the makers and the people involved I'm sure you are wise enough not to be needled by Negative comment,s as it is just a lack of experience .                
No bad days x

My question is why people are going on about monetising a tragedy you ever heard of the news.

"these are not actors" yeh you can really tell by how they dont notice the camera at all. because only the most talented actors would question why people are following them with cameras for no reason

who came here from taylor swift's playlist ??

This is a beautiful coming-of-age song with a beautiful message of hope.

"These are not actors."
Actors then proceed to act as tho they are pissing off the back of a truck...

Brother do you believe in an afterlife
Where our souls will both collide
In some great Elysium
Way up in the sky
Free from our shackles, our chains
Our mouths, our brains
We'll open all the gates
And we will walk careless
Straight into the light

I've never felt so enlightened
With every page I turn
I only find myself feeling more alone
Posing questions to a silent universe
My very thoughts a curse
They just seem to multiply
Forever in my mind

Brother don't grow up
Brother please never grow up

Hold out against the night
Guard your hope with your life
For the darkness, she will come
Oh and you will have nowhere left to run

Oh but your eyes are wider than mine
And help me to sleep
I just hope that age does not erase
All that you see
Don't let bitterness become you
Your only hopes are all within you

Hold out against the night
Guard your hope with your life

Guard your life with your heart.

This is so beautiful. My favorite music video.

This is so uplifting.

bealtiful

this is amazing. I teared up. I am crying AND I BELIVE IT IS BECAUSE OF THE BEAUTY AND TRAGETY IN THIS VIDEO.

Masterpiece

I was singing along and when the last part came i just couldn't! One hell of a song! ended up in tears!!

makes my heart cry everytime

They are all actors, because this "shooting" was a HOAX. Watch it. Just watch the video. They show it to you. Good song. Propaganda video. http://heavy.com/news/2016/06/seattle-pacific-university-shooting-video-hero-jon-meis-aaron-ybarra-youtube-full-released-2014-attack/

so sad :(

love this band all there songs hit u in some way

Y'all need to stop focusing on the music video more than the fucking amazing song

I always thought that one day I would sing this song for a friend. Someone told me it was easy to talk about death at sixteen, but I've lost four friends and I'm barely seventeen. Sometimes best friends forever last very little.

This hit me right in the feels.

Wooooow!!.. amazing, so beatiful, and so sad.. !!

Wat een geweldige mooie muziek en prachtige video;s

i can't stop watching this. great feelings

This is so sad

If this is what it's like to be young with friends in Washington State, sign me up.

life is..... weird

What a beautiful song. My favorite line, "Don't let bitterness become you."

The end of this video hit me right in the feels. Damn. These event should never be forgotten. Cherish every moment with your friends. Love everybody.

I fucking love this video

These kids look way too old to be acting like this...

WAAAAY too old.

The video isn't bad but the geeky guys singing voice is just awful, like when he says the word "collide" it's like he's trying to use some weird ultra sensitive hipster accent.

That's the voice of a lost generation you are hearing. Bears Den are from London, England

I just thought I would share this with everyone because I think I am in love but another absolutely beautiful video is 'all the pretty girls'. Pleaseeeee go check it out- there are no words to describe it!

I wonder if they watched this video back once it was made and thought something was missing from all those scenes. Like, I wonder if they thought "that's not right... Paul should have been there"...

..i adore everything about this

so much emotion in this song and video I love it but prayers go out to the friends and family

574 people with absolutely no taste!!

"They are not actors...so don't blame us if they pee on camera." cool video keep it up, then you will be "Actors".

How did Bruce lee die??

watching over for the fourth time and I'm still having trouble catching my breath. thank you so much for this. it was fucking amazing to the point i literally lack the vocabulary to describe it. thank you

that was fucking breathtaking

Awww no! I was so excited about this band when i heard that song that goes "dont you remember love, remember love, remember anything"....this is so disappointing and depressing :(

This video follows a bunch of hipsters in Seattle*

As someone who grew up in that scene of post-grunge Seattle, I can tell you that those kids are a perfect representation of the Seattle scene. Not nearly as much hipster as post-grunge punk rockers in the Seattle area.

make me cry everytime I listen to it

Don't let bitterness become you

This is so powerful. Never hate. Hang on to what life you have got, because in a split second - everything can change. Love your friends - they are your chosen family.

Hi bear's den, can I license one of your songs for the intro portion of my youtube videos? I only need like 15 seconds of one song. I would credit you in my video description. My channel will be big one day it will give you a lot of publicity :)

this is my favourite playlist EVER!!!!!

RIP warrior my friend lived his life like this ride girls eat work sleep

I don't know why this song makes me cry everytime I listen to it

urschel

0:24 brother dear,do you believe in an after life? me : that aint no brother he got his face in her twat O.O

Hannah sandy pixie Meaker

serio que. a katy ver 😂😂😂✌

This is so deep

This is what true music sounds like

This is an absolute brilliant song and video. Marcus haney is wonderful.

A truly perfect song. inspires me to think of good and bad in only a positive manner. Gutsy song I really am thankful Bears Den are within my radar. superb

Read the video description.

I just thought seeing as some people don't now what this is about id tell u. The director went to his brothers college to shoot this and it was meant to be about growing mature I think. Halfway through the shoot his there was a shooting at the college. The directors brother and his friends were trying to ring Paul Lee and he wouldn't pick up and they spent all night not knowing if he was alive. When they woke up they were informed that he has died. The video then turned into how how the group of friends dealt with the death of their close friend.

and no school work got done

Love their music. It's so beautiful

Chloe! Why are you in Seattle and what happened to Max?

Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire YES! ikr

This is where she moved right before going back to arcadia bay..... O:

Saunterblugget Hampterfuppinshire

Max Fucked Up

Friend(s) are so hard to find... at least for some...
Some have blue hair... but others (more deeply affected) carry a blue heart

Auggie this one is for you xxx
