Saw this video about 3 years ago and heard the song and loved it so much. Then suddenly I moved onto another video and forgot the name of the band and the song and spent about three years typing "Scottish, beach/ rock band" into RU-vid search bar looking... And now, three years of searching and I wasn't even looking I was watching Mumford and Sons play the shit out of a banjo and suddenly here I am. I'm happy and I've found some of the best music I've ever heard. Again.
Lol. I did the same thing. I could not remember the song or the band. I just found out that the word Agape means a a very deep and high love for people, it's a special love, a very deep love that's Heavenly.
December 3rd 2021, Bar 31 in Hartlepool. I played my whole two sets as normal but then for the final song I played this. My girl was there, as were around a hundred of our family & friends, but she was the only one that had no idea why I started playing our song to close out my own gig. By the time I got to the chorus I had arranged for as many people as possible to sing along with me, and it was at this point she started to get a little emotional, but she had no idea what was coming next. Chorus ends, I take off my guitar and walk to her, get on one knee and reach in to my pocket. She said yes.

Man, this song is so relatable. I first came across it at a time when I was dating this really awesome girl, and it turned out she actually liked this band too. It took on a personal meaning when I started to get this terrible feeling that I was going to lose this girl despite all the hopes I had, and I didn’t know what I could do about it. That terrible feeling was realized when she ended things with me... The symbolism in the video of them sinking deeper and deeper into the sand is like that terrible feeling that came over me slowly but surely and then was realized. I’m left in this pit of sand as my fear of not wanting to know who I am without her is realized and I’m left “clutching at straws” wishing I was clutching her instead.
I found this song when I was dealing with heartbreak. I don't know but everytime i hear this song I feel mixed emotions. I'm feeling that sadness, relief, hope, motivation, pain. This song to me is everything. This band is also amazing to say the least. I like Above the clouds of pompei too.
Agape Please don't dissipate I know that I've got this all wrong I'm reaching out To touch your voice But baby I'm clutching at straws Even though your words hurt the most I still want to hear them Every day You say let it go, but I can't let it go I wanna believe every word that you say For I'm so scared of losing you and I don't know what I can do about it About it So tell me how long love before you go and leave me here on my own I know it I don't want to know who I am without you Agape Please don't dissipate Yeah, I know that I've got this all wrong I'm reaching out To touch you now But baby I'm clutching at straws For I'm so scared of losing you and I don't know what I can do about it About it So tell me how long love before you go and leave me here on my own I know it I don't want to know who I am without you I don't want to know I don't want to know I don't want to know For I'm so scared of losing you and I don't know what I can do about it About it So tell me how long love before you go and leave me here on my own I know it I know it So tell me how long love before you go and leave me here on my own I don't want to know who I am without you I don't want to know who I am without you
Agape Please don't dissipate I know that I have got it all wrong I'm reaching out To touch your voice But baby, I'm clutching at straws Even though Your words hurt the most I still wanna hear them, every day You say let it go But I can't let it go I won't leave, every word that you say For I'm so scared of losing you And I don't know what I can do about it About it So tell me how long, love, before you go And leave me here on my own I know that I don't wanna know Who I am without you Oh agape Please don't dissipate Yeah I know I've got it all wrong I'm reaching out To touch your voice But baby I'm clutching at straws For I'm so scared of losing you And I don't know what I can do about it About it So tell me how long, love, before you go And leave me here on my own I know that, I don't wanna know Who I am without you I don't wanna know I don't wanna know I don't wanna know For I'm so scared of losing you And I don't know what I can do about it About it So tell me how long, love, before you go And leave me here on my own I know that I know that Tell me how long, love, before you go And leave me here on my own I know that I don't wanna know who I am without you I don't wanna know who I am without you
I think this song is about when we want something a lot, when we want some relationship to work out. You get the ideal of love ágape on your mind, but you are moving away from it, and you know it is not right, but you are so attached to the feeling, ego, the fear of lose it that it makes you lose more quickly. So you start to question if you even know what love is, cause your expectations are falling into place, and you want to sustain something that maybe doesn't happens like this: "Yeah, I know that I've got this all wrong" cause we idealize a lot too, and maybe its not too acessible to us in this world: a perfect love. Then, at this time, you are charging yourself to love righ, but the other people start recognize you are not getting it right, and start to move away from you: "I'm reaching out to touch you now" and it only make it worse, cause your feelings of fear start to make sense. So, if at the start it was just a creation of your own mind, now its real. You create everything from your fear. At the start of the music he still knows about his feelings is going wrong, so he begs to agape not to dissipate, but along the music, it does. The sand can be the ego, the attachment, and in the end he just confess his feelings, right now, stronger, without much rationality, while he is drowning in that sand, when the last phrase he says is just like a acceptance of something he don't wanted to feel, but feel: "I don't wanna know who I am without you". This song is clearly about a affective dependence, but he is conscious about it. Sometimes we lose ourselves in someone, and this is the worst thing we can do to ourselves: to hitch our existence to something. A relationship require so much maturity, confidence and centering coming from the both parts. I love the song, the melody, and the sincerity about those feelings that is not too welcome, but, sometimes, it happens.
In my experience, Bear's Den has undergone a transformation since 2014 that has deeply impacted me. While I acknowledge that their music continues to be of high quality, there's a distinct difference from the earlier sound that resonated so deeply with my soul, particularly the banjo-infused melodies and the presence of John Revelle (aka Joey). This isn't to say that the current offerings are negative; rather, they speak differently. The truth is, during a challenging period in my life when I was grappling with depression, Bear's Den's music was a source of hope for me. The anticipation of their new releases was a lifeline, their harmonious and soothing tunes a source of warmth and solace. I cherished the moments when I could escape into their music, surrounded by the familiarity of my old laptops, finding some sort of peace and connection. My journey with Bear's Den has been long and deeply personal. I've been there since the beginning, supporting the band, celebrating their growth, and feeling the pang of change when the band's direction shifted. The adjustment to a new musical style was a shock to me for weeks, if not, months. Despite these changes, my affection for Bear's Den remains unwavering. Watching you grow and evolve is a privilege.

I don't want to know. I don't want to know.

I feel unconditionally love especially now i'm struggling from breastcancer. I want to dedicate it to the nurses and doktors, family and my friends. Now I start my day with this song. It's very symbolic for me nowadays...
This song hits hard. Pretty hard when you just fit into those lyrics. Maybe the association with it and how well this song is crafted, makes me super emotional everytime I hear it. I might someday erase every memory of him , but this one song has the power to take me back to the time. This one for life ❤️
I used to listen to this song when I first started going out with her ... used to be petrified at the though of losing her ... convinced myself that we’d never actually get to this point ... 2 years of ups and downs ... I’ll probably miss like hell if she does move on ... but I’ll always be glad for the memories we shared ...
4 hours ago I searched for an acoustic version of ‘Romeo & Juliet’, then got lost in old songs, new songs, covers, and then WHAM...these dudes. It was a good night.
This is seriously one of the greatest songs ever written and greatest performances ever performed. People who think Millennials are useless should watch this video. The talent is stupefying.
@@arvi8843 There are three novels, "Openly Straight", "Openly Honestly", "Honestly Ben". "Openly Honestly" is the middle one. These novels are about USA high school students struggling love, themselves, and sexuality. If you are familiar with the terms, I highly recommend. Otherwise, I don't know.

Love this song, might not be how it's ment to be but I miss my dad and this makes me think of how much I miss him and how he used to talk to me when I was a kid, how much I feel lost without that. Great song tears streaming
I am just sitting here in the middle of the night and I am so happy that I found this song. It makes me really happy. I am actually a metalhead and I have always loved to listen to indie stuff, but until rn I forgot how much I appreciate this type of music and how happy it makes me for reaching out to my heart.
I coudn't sleep one night and was mindlessly watching RU-vid one video to the next and I came across this song. Instantly knew I was gonna love this band... And I do! Everything they do is pure and emotive. Much love from England ♥
Never di I ever imagine a song and music video could so wholly and perfectly reflect my feeling of doubt and insecurity in the best possible way. thank you
I was having a really crappy afternoon and this song popped to my head and I just put it on and started watching the video and it made me feel loads better... Crazy how the right music can be used as medicine

I'm just imagining how the scene went further after the director said "cut!" haha.. "get us out of this sand, quickly!! Ffs one more wave and I'll be drowning!!!"
Guy I like creates a playlist for me and adds this song a month after we knew each other. It's one of my favorites in the playlist. I was secretly in love with him for a while. But we couldn't be. We became good friends though. Time goes by, he leaves, we keep in touch and I believe I'm over the crush. After a while, I confess him I had been in love with him since the moment he created the playlist. Apparently his feelings were mutual at that time. But since I shared my heart with him our communication has changed for the worse. We no longer talk. The chorus has turned real. I'm so scared of losing him, (his friendship) and I don't know what I can do about it. I don't wanna know who I am without him. (L)
a friend showed me Agape a few months ago and it quickly became my favourite song in the world. it really did change my life. thank you so much BearsDenVEVO for making the beautiful music you make!!!
This song made me fall for you guys! I heard it for the first time when you supported Mumford and Sons at the O2 back in December 2012 and was blown away by your harmonies in particular. Thank you for your music :)
I've heard a lot of songs in my day and few that have made me pause and fall in love with one like this song has. Absolutely beautiful I listen to it all the time and it makes me feel so at peace and I feel my spirituality all around me and it's. A beautiful feeling
Came to listen iceland music after watching anime Terror in Resonance. We will always remember you 9 and 12, remember that you lived that you existed 🤧🌺 Love you both🌼❤
