"POMPEII" - Bear's Den

Bear's Den are a band signed to Communion records, making the kind of folk music that will appeal to lovers of Mumford and Sons, Ben Howard and probably early Noah and the Whale. It's natural and simplistic, shown especially in the video above, an acoustic performance for Bands In Transit.

"Pompeii" is one of the most beautiful songs I've come across in a while. It tells a story of childhood naivety, grief and acceptance. A soft and simple guitar riff, and the vocals of ex-Cherbourg singer, Andrew Davie, it just instantly touches your heart, in the most impromptu and unexpected manner, exploring and explaining grief honestly and from all four corners.

"Don't cry,
Hold your head up high,
She would want you to,
She would want you to."
