Black Stone Cherry have premiered a new video for their new song “Deep.” This track is from the band’s newly released EP “Celebrate.”

Guitarist Ben Wells commented:

“‘Deep’ is a very personal song. Without sugarcoating it, my wife and I have struggled with infertility for over a decade. Anyone that has been through that journey knows that it can be an absolutely helpless feeling and I sympathize with them beyond measure. Just as we were coming to peace with the fact that it wasn’t in the cards for us to be parents, we got pregnant during the writing session for this EP. However, it sadly led to a miscarriage which led to one of the darkest and lowest points we had experienced together.

I usually keep things close to the chest when it comes to personal matters, but this time I felt I had to get it out and I’m so thankful for faith, love, and music in that time.

I was searching for a song that said what we were feeling in those moments, but I couldn’t find it until God allowed me to let these lyrics flow out. Through it all, we continued to love and lift each other up and I’m so thankful for that.

I’m so thankful that our band crafted this song, and I just know in my heart it will help others out there who also feel that life can sometimes be too deep.”

He also revealed that the group are partnering with the UK charity Sands for the single:

“To be honest, I never imagined I would be writing something like this, but in an effort to be fully transparent, just like our song ‘Deep’, here we are and I’m truly thankful that an organization like Sands exists to help heal and guide those of us who have experienced something tragic like this. We are thankful for charities like Sands who can assist in being a lighthouse in a storm and helping direct our hearts to a healing place.

I personally believe that God has a plan for all of us and while we may not always understand it, we have to trust it and know that joy will be there on the other side of any dark time life gives us.”
