Songfacts®:

  • According to keyboardist Adam Anderson, this is "the most effortless song" that Hurts have ever recorded, "and it sounds that way." He explained: "When we started as a band a few years ago we'd always try so hard to make songs have an impact and I think one thing that we've learnt – and it's exemplified in 'The Crow' – is that we don't always have to try that hard. It's this graceful song that doesn't smack you in the face."
