Beartooth's new song "Riptide" is out now! Listen here: beartooth.ffm.to/riptide Clever from The Blackbird Session Documentary coming September 13, 2019. Directed & Edited by Wyatt Clough. #Beartooth #TheBlackbirdSession #Clever
This is beautiful, I've always loved beartooths acoustics but this is really full of emotion, beartooth are my fave and it kills me to see Caleb's face full of sorrow while hes singing this, you can see his demons that hes fighting :( I'll always support this band because the lyrics of there songs means something, not just to me or the band but I feel everyone can connect to these songs. I cant wait to see them live in the UK next February at rock city, bought VIP tickets too cause I wouldn't miss the chance to meet the band that's had such a big impact on my life. Stay strong beartooth, keep turning those riffs up and I'll keep banging my head till my brain rots
true...one of the few groups in the texts of which I feel sincerity, confession, and even encouragement in the end. Despite this, they are very mundane and in some texts everyone recognizes himself.
Ordained for reals. This guy has so much passion and pain he’s singing through and it’s definitely what makes Beartooth one of the best bands around right now.
Listening to this in such a slow, clear way makes the lyrics so much stronger. Its like someone put ched me in the face with their emotions Beartooth, you are the only band that makes me feel this way, and I genuinely love how vulnerable the music is. Never stop.
This is incredible, this song speaks to me so much and this just has me so emotional and just taken back and out of focus from everything that is happening in my life at the moment.
this hit me so hard. Dealing with the war of anxiety and depression daily. I never could find a way to describe what its like..... this is that description. And though it's the lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks, its therapeutic.
Anyone else just want to hug Caleb after this? Good God I felt the shakiness and emotion in his voice, I've always liked his lyrics because I can relate so much, thank you for this Beartooth.
I absolutely just broke down and couldn't stop crying after hearing this. I loved the original, but the amount of raw emotion in this one just hit me square in the heart. Seeing Caleb's facial expressions and how he struggled just to keep it together throughout the song made me feel for him so much. We love you, and we support you all the way through Beartooth. Keep fighting ❤
Caleb, I've always loved your music. I feel the emotion in this song and I know you may never see this but I hope you know there is a 1 true God who loves you. After I got back from Afghanistan I was suicidal, addicted to drugs and alcohol and in a dark place I thought I could never escape. I was rescued. I love you man. Praying blessing into yours and everyone of your band members life. You have so much influence and I hope God uses you to reach broken people. Rock on!
I may not be a big country fan but I love this and honestly, it's so raw (their music is normally very raw), but you can sincerely hear the emotion here on different level than before. The fact that he left so fast after the song ended.. like, you know it was deep. You can feel it. Anyways, I'll always love them ❤
RobloxLegend The versions of this session though are very country/blues and folk inspired. Its a much more more raw version of it though instead of having the over redundant and stagnant sound that a lot of pop country has.
Lost two of my best friends to suicide (6 weeks apart) just prior to this album being released. It hit home so hard and helped me in more ways than I can describe, this song in particular. Thanks Beartooth, for being Beartooth.
This still causes tears to be shed. I feel every single word in this song. I haven’t been able to find my smile in a really long time but i do know this, i found it for just a few minutes back in may when i got to hug you and tell you that i might not be here if it wasn’t for you. I’m not saying the music saved my life, i’m saying knowing i was coming to meet you saved my life. I love you caleb.
The passion this man puts into his music is unbelievable! Truly, lucky to be from the same city as them. The amount of emotion in every line is crazy. Thank you for the music and helping us realize we are not alone in the wars we wave in our minds and daily lives
I love the emotion, Clever is an emotional song to begin with but this style just emphasizes everything . I cannot wait to hear what else you guys have in store. Bravo 👏🏻
Like when he says being clever is my safety net it kinda breaks it apart but I think that was so he can sing without feeling vulnerable while singing. I mean i can't even sing this song while playing guitar without my voice breaking because I feel part of his sadness in this song. Its beautiful.
This performance had me tearing up sooo bad. I realllly relate to this on a personal level. watching this really made me wanna hug Caleb. No one should have to deal with this sort of feelings...
I heard this song for the first time while playing random songs while driving. i gotta tell you this brought me to tears. i felt this song so deep down inside. thank you for sharing this level of emotion with us and for me expressing it in a way that i cannot.
Not to sugar coat the shit just being blunt right now I'm really depressed/suicidal and always liked Beartooth as a musician, fan, and especially as being in recovery as an alcohaulic it always resonates, but the blackbird sessions I've heard a million times before hit different this time.. instead of screaming at the sky I sat down and cried and to be honest it might not of saved my life in the long run but it saved me tonight.. The only reason I'm commenting this Is because I reminded me no matter how alone I feel, or how dark, I'm not the only one that feels that way. Who knows maybe someone will see this who needs it.. Thanks BT..
I love music..But I've never had a song make me cry before..This is even more emotional that the original and it hits home so hard..Goddamn this was beautiful.
Being in the music industry sometimes limits a band/group because when the band finds a sound that works sometimes means they will have to stick with that way of doing music due to demand. This is pure genius.
Bravo Gentlemen!!! Beartooth is one of the few bands that i can listen to all of there albums in order without skipping a single track..... including the b-side tunes.... And speaking as a musician myself who has played in a few different genres, what you fellas have done here is amazing...... the tone, the tamber, down to the tuning of the snare just mixed so well. And hats off to whoever mixed this....Well F@#*ing Done! Thank you for sharing your music with us and look forward to what you have coming out in the future.
Hell yeah same here when it comes to Beartooth I can't find a bad song by them. Another brand that I personally think can't make a bad songs is Starset
Not to sound like most of the comments but I try to play thing song and while singing after hearing it like this my voice cracks and I just cant. This is great music and meaningful personal shit that sounds great. I love the blue grass tone they put in this too. Shows how great musicians they are.
You guys always kill it with the acoustic versions ( not to take away from the main versions )! This is my favorite song on the Disease album which, is an absolutely phenomenal album! So happy to see some hometown boys on this level! Is it wrong of me to feel special because I work with Zach's dad? 😕 lol
I loved seeing this. I still remember my first time hearing this not long after I got MSRA and after was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Before this I was at one of my lowest points. I really cried when I had heard it for the first time. I’ve never heard a sad song with so much genuine emotion in it that I really connected with. I don’t even know Caleb but I feel like I already love him like a brother and I would probably be hit worse by losing him than just about anyone else. I really wanna meet this guy and band one day.
"Clever" I guess being clever's just my safety net I hide behind my cadence I hide behind the walls I built so tall the weakness never spills I hide all of my burdens I twist my words so well I'm breaking but the lie is what I sell If I'm clever you might never understand I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content I guess being clever's just my safety net I guess being clever's just my safety net I tell you I feel better I tell you I can sleep I hope that it will bring a sense of peace But all the nights are getting darker The day becomes so bleak Another day I'm conscious is another day I bleed If I'm clever you might never understand I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head I feel my passing only benefits my friends When I know nothing I say matters in the end I finally feel content I guess being clever's just my safety net I'm out of ways to answer I'm out of metaphors I finally got so sick, there is no cure I'm out of ways to answer I'm out of metaphors I finally got so sick, there is no cure If I'm clever you might never understand I feel like death and me are walking hand in hand When my happiness is hanging by a thread I finally feel content I'm so messed up and inconsistent in my head I feel my passing only benefits my friends When I know nothing I say matters in the end I finally feel content I guess being clever's just my safety net I guess being clever's just my safety net
i generally dont like it when bands i love for their sound change stuff up and it confuses me and makes me not want to listen to it anymore. But i actually really really like this version. I love all your songs and this one did not disappoint at all!
Since I have first hear this I have thought I have heard a song so familiar. I finally figured it out. Lullaby but the spill canvas. Both are great songs.
"I tell you I feel better, I tell you I can sleep. I hope that brings a sense of peace." God why do I feel that so hard? Why am I making people around me feel better for them.. not me.. why do I feel bad about how I feel everyday of my life. Like im a burden to everyone around me
