Glad this is back up. One of my favorite music videos. The way he clenches his fist in anger of the loss of his partner and then realizes that continuing the dance of life is what she would want for him....and then his clench starts to loosen. This is art.
I have terminal cancer and 3 teenage boys I love more than life itself. One of my amazing friends sent me this song. Her mother died of cancer and she has been helping me by letting me know ways to make it easier on my boys. She told me this song helped her so much. I absolutely love this song now
My mom died of cancer when I was a teenager and I would say to myself “don’t cry, hold your head up high, she would want you to.” So, when this song came out I was overcome with emotions. 🥺
This song is hauntingly beautiful. Piercing. And gorgeous. I just discovered this song from a live cover on Twitch. I am now a Bear's Den fan. Thanks for sharing your incredible music.
Lyrics: 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 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 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
