The track premiered via Songwriting Magazine where The Hollow Ends’ Zachary Schwartz shared, “‘Bears In Mind’ is the title track to an entire record written about the feeling of being stuck inside your own goddamn skull, forced to gape out at this world, terrified as you start to age. I didn’t intend to write a record like this, I’m actually a pretty positive person, but it just sort of dripped out one song at a time over the past few years. I think a lot of people my age today are trying to figure out what the hell this new world is we’ve found ourselves in, and what new responsibilities and dangers are in it waiting for us.”
