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.
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.
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.
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 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 ❤
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
"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
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.
Wow just wow normally I'm not a fan of country music but this is a great rendition of Clever and the emotion is very much there it looks like Caleb was close to breaking down a few times but managed to pull through and finish the song. I really have no words for this except wow
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
This is absolutely amazing. The pure and raw emotion that is conveyed is incredible. Huge fan of everything Beartooth and think Disease was a masterpiece. Can't wait for the rest of the EP.
"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!

it just..... did i said that ? :D Cause i had wroted it the same way you did
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.
You can see the passion in Caleb's face. Incredible
Ordained you can hear how he’s holding the tears
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.
"Another day I'm conscious, is another day I bleed" damn that's a powerful line right there
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.
Just want to give Caleb a hug ❤️❤️ beautiful song and meaning ❤️
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.
Exactaly this. Me too. 👍👊
Me too dude 👊🏻
Stay strong everyone. Keep being Clever. Much love to all
Makese feel not so alone in the struggle...
John, much love sweets. I'm right beside you, believe it or not.❤🙏💫
Guys, you should have an album just with acoustics.
This will be an EP
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 ❤
They’re not country though?
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.
Americana is the genre I think. I wouldn't put this under country
This is very much country without the southern accent
My god. This is very beautiful. Love everyone. Kiss and hug for Caleb.❤

Beartooth can really do country music well!
Caleb's voice breaking in the bridge.... my heart...
I got chills. This is my favorite song off the album, and probably my favorite Beartooth song of all time💕
Never feel like you are alone. You are valued. Better days are coming whether you realize it or not.
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.

feels like this song, this band & my heart were born all over again to the sound of this. just beautiful.
I'm about to cry this sounds so tragic and beautiful at the same time ♡

@@kleesmith4625 Thankyou 💪💪
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 👏🏻
All the emotions Caleb puts in this song are so overwhelming! I love this so much♡♡
I feel this version speaks to me so much more, can really feel the sorrow. Beautiful guys.
This is such a beautiful version of this song. I absolutely love it.
This is breathtaking..
Absolutely unreal
Tugged my heartstrings
I love your talent, vulnerability, strength and perseverance
Thank you ❤️

You know you're doing great when you heavily relate to all of these songs.
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...
Wasn't what I was expecting from clicking on a beartooth song but I'm glad I did. Great song, it does bring a sense of peace.
this version gave me REAL goosebumps, i'm thrilled
I understand, you're loved.. ❤️✨️🥺
Caleb can do whatever he wants, he'll always kick ass
I found this song at the perfect time. Thank you. You guys will never not be appreciated. Sending love to you all. 💜✊
This is really rad. Stoked to see where the rest of this EP goes.
Seth Reineke i’m glad i’m not the only one who still uses rad
I read sad instead of rad. But both words are ok lol
Wow!!! I’m so sad now. This hits way too close to home. Beautiful but yet heartbreaking.
You've saved my life Beartooth, several times. Thank you.
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.
I feel the meaning the lyric more clearly in this version,and i see caleb out off he emotional in this version
I feel like your heavy stuff helps me express myself, while this helps me deal with the problem, in other words you guys are awesome
This song hits me like 50 eighteen wheelers hitting me simultaneously
First time hearing them. Wow. Just wow.
Shivers, this gives me SHIVERS
How the fuck am I just now seeing this?! This was epic
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.
Thanks guys for making such passionate music!
Beautiful voices
4:40. I felt that.
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.
As always, phenomenal. Can't wait for the show in Simpsonville SC!
Mike Dussmann gonna be sick. Can’t wait to see them all.
They're a great show. Saw them last year, and I'll be seeing them at self help fest in october
Me too! Driving from South Florida!!!
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.
Okay so I cried! Thank you for this.
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.

So beautiful
All hail Beartooth 🔥🔥🔥
A simply beautiful song, I cannot get enough of this song! Awesome job
"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
Head up, you're not alone ❤️🥺
Good damm!! We need an acoustic Album ASAP!
This is gorgeous! I'd love to hear you guys do more covers of your own songs like this, it's fantastic to hear you perform in another genre!
Stunning! It really shows how versatile this band is! I love it and can somehow relate. Keep doing you Beartooth! 👌
just thank you for that guys. You are awesome
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.
Beautiful...enough said
Thank you for saving my life

Love you Caleb, thank you for making beautiful art to comfort us all.
I'm stunned
TOOTH 💯🔥🎶💪
This song is so beautiful and relatable, I wish they'll do more acoustic covers; thank you for this one though 🖤
Stay strong for us~
I cry with you caleb... :'(
Favourite song from Album!
This is honestly so amazing. This song means a lot to me. I’m not really a fan of country, but this is honestly beautiful.
That´s art
This is amazing, you really get the feel of the depth and meaning behind this song, really outstanding. Can we please get this on spotify
damn wasn't expecting to like this at all jesus Christ I loved it good shit guys
This is absolutely amazing. The pure and raw emotion that is conveyed is incredible. Huge fan of everything Beartooth and think Disease was a masterpiece. Can't wait for the rest of the EP.
i can feel this in my bones
Didn't think I'd enjoy this, but I loved it. Looking forward to the EP!
Using this in my music class thanks
HOLY GOOSEBUMPS!
I hope to see you live one-day
I finally got so sick.....there is no cure.
Thats how I feel everyday
Красивая музыка. Любимая группа.🎆
I miss you my friend
Thank you
Thanks for this song, and this version. I dared to cover it, with all the simplicity I could get. Hope some of you watch it!
"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
Damn. This song actually made me tear up
i dont have enough words to say how this saved my night... thank you beartooth for being here with me ❤️🔥
Damn that was good
I cant tell if that ending was scripted for the video or if he really did have to leave the room.
You never know until you know know know
johnathon colman I’m almost certain he had to leave the room. Caleb is always about raw emotion.
Well, listen to the middle of the song, you can tell he's getting choked up.
This is incredible. Thank you beartooth. 🖤 🧡
this is my favorite song in the album and i dont think the lyrics gets enough credit
4:28 love that
You guys did these so well!
I'll be seeing you in Duluth in November.. man you got to play this!
I'm so upset that it's the closest concert to Florida. Wish they had a florida stop, I can't make the 10 hours drive :(
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!
Bands can do more than 1 genre.
