Grizzly Feeder’s new single, “Love,” is a poignant rock ballad that will tug at your heart and linger long after the final notes are played. Identifying himself as the creative force behind Grizzly Feeder, Joshua Clark is an emerging artist whose eclectic creativity runs deep in his vessels and can be discovered in endless, incredible ways. His newest single is an overtly intimate and deeply personal retelling of love, loss, and human connection that strives to tell a story beyond what most would consider music.
“Love,” for example, is inspired by a heartbreaking chat Clark had with Bianca, the six-year-old daughter of one of her friends who lost her battle with cancer. It’s a gut-wrenching moment that Clark has turned into a musical tribute, able to articulate the fragility and the strength inherent in love at its most sublime. So, while the film’s title is a word and a song thus repeated, through Bianca’s innocence and strength, “Love” becomes a transformative template, a powerful reminder of the ties that bind us all.
This song feels like a rollercoaster of emotions. Coupled with Grizzly Feeder’s signature powerhouse sound, Clark has crafted an experience that brings the raw emotion of the song’s theme to new levels. Bringing in a classical opera singer and a pop vocalist adds another layer to the track, juxtaposing Clark’s voice’s soulful and rich lows. Together, the voices lift “Love” to a higher plane, an act of devotion, pain, and the sheer power of holding on to something that means so much it never leaves your side.
Grizzly Feeder’s music has always been a safe place for honesty, and “Love” is no different. It’s a song that strikes a chord with anyone who has lost someone, a reminder that love, in all its manifestations, cannot be snatched away, the end of a face, a handhold, a summer afternoon. In union with the vulnerable lyrics, the delicate yet powerful arrangement of the track mirrors Clark’s talent for weaving personal narratives and universal realities together through his music.
Because love teaches us that even in our lowest moments, there is beauty in our shared humanity, Grizzly Feeder’s new single conveys this urgent need for connection with tenderness and strength and is required listening for anyone who’s ever loved and lost in any way.
