Over
a span of months, Bear’s Den has been sharing singles that are destined for their
album release on May 13. Today, the album’s title track, “Blue Hours,” was unveiled.
This single ventures further into the domain of electronica than is typical of
Bear’s Den. Still, the duo remains tethered to Folk elegance by the silky sound
of brass during portions of “Blue Hours.”
The Bear’s Den journey into the more electronic theme signals the diversity within
the “Blue Hour” album. They showcase their characteristic sound, while exhibiting
skills in incorporating other elements. The three previous releases from the album
(“All That You Are,” “Spiders,” and “Shadows) unquestionably contrast with the
title single.
Bear’s
Den is the Folk Rock duo of Andrew Davie and Kevin Jones. While speaking about
the album’s title track, Davie said, “Fundamentally ‘Blue Hours’ is a song
about communicating with someone that’s hard to reach. It’s this idea of trying
to have a conversation with someone through one-way glass, where they can’t
even see you and there’s a real disconnect with how you’re communicating. On
one level, it’s also an internal thing, where you’re trying to get through to
yourself. I think the act of writing songs, or even trying to write anything,
is the act of trying to communicate, so I think there’s something in that which
is interesting.”

Lyrics of “Blue Hours” by Bear's Den
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever reach you
Or if now you’re just gone for good,
If I’ll ever see you smile again
It’s on a wing and a prayer
Babe but I will be there
Letting you know I care
If I could just break through the glass
If it shatters in my hands
Then it shatters in my hands
It’s a risk I’m willing to take
Baby, I’m about to break because
I can’t go on, I can’t go on, I can’t go on
I can’t keep pretending that I’m okay
Watching you slip away
Why’d you have to go there?
Why do you lie?
Why’d you answer in questions whenever I ask
you why?
Don’t act like you’re so hard to find
I know where you hide
I know where you hide
Why won’t you just stay with me?
Why do you lie?
Why’s there always something keeping you up
at night?
Don’t act like you’re so hard to find
I know where you hide
I know where you hide
In the blue hours
I wish that I could crawl inside of your head
Stumble round, see what I can find
Which of your synapses deceive
That seem to tie you in knots,
Tangled in all you forgot
And all you cannot see
Is the person who’s standing there
Right in front of me
If you could only see yourself for a second
it could change
But no I can’t go on, I can’t go on, I can’t
go on, I can’t
Keep pretending that I’m okay
Watching you slip away
Trying to hold these two truths in my head
Both the darkness and the light
Please don’t expect them to play nice.
Why’d you have to go there?
Why do you lie?
Why’d you answer in questions whenever I ask
you why?
Don’t act like you’re so hard to find
I know where you hide
I know where you hide
Why won’t you just stay with me?
Why do you lie?
Why’s there always something keeping you up
at night?
Don’t act like you’re so hard to find
I know where you hide
I know where you hide
Why’d you have to go there?
Why do you lie?
Why’d you answer in questions whenever I ask
you why?
Don’t act like you’ve got nothing to hide
I know where you hide
I know where you hide
Why won’t you just stay with me?
Why do you lie?
Why’s there always something keeping you up
at night?
Don’t act like you’re so hard to find
I know where you hide
I know where you hide
In the blue hours
