LYRICS:
Beneath the dusty ground
I found a hidden door
I think I've got it now
Can you squeeze me through?
(It could be so beautiful)
I know you feel it too

You might not see it now
But I know where we're going
I'll take the lead from here
Watch out we're coming through
(It's been really lovely)
But now I gotta scream

Bring me the sun
Or my life will be over
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to
Bring me the sun
Or my heart will stop glowing
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to

The things we couldn't do
The things we'd never say
Let's do them anyway
Let's shout it out today
(It could be so beautiful)
Do you feel better now?
I know you feel it too

And all the dust will rise
And we'll be bright like stars
Jumping to the rhythm
Of our open hearts
(It's been really lovely)
But now I gotta scream

Bring me the sun
Or my life will be over
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to
Bring me the sun
Or my heart will stop glowing
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to

Caress my skin
This ritual possessing me
Grant me one wish
There's only one thing I need

Bring me the sun
Or my life will be over
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to
Bring me the sun
Or my heart will stop glowing
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to

Don't you block me
Don't you block me
Don't you block me
Don't you block me

Bring me the sun
Or my life will be over
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to
Bring me the sun
Or my heart will stop glowing
They say I should wait for it
But I don't want to

I Don't Want To

LYRICS:
You’re not alone
When you’re swimming in the dark
Follow the glowing bodies drifting
Up to see the stars

You’ve been lost for so long
You’ve forgotten what it feels like
You’ve been lost for so long
You’ve forgotten what it looks like

Oh you’re
All I
If you’d only dare to go
You’re not alone
Feel my arms around you

Close your eyes
I’ll breathe air into your lungs
Tell you
I love you
Follow me
I’ll take you to hidden lands
If only you let me now

Take a breath
Lay your head
In my hands

You’re not alone
When you’re swimming in the dark
See the glowing bodies leading
Up to greet the stars

You’ve been lost for so long
You’ve forgotten what it feels like
You’ve been lost for so long
You’ve forgotten what it looks like

Close your eyes
I’ll breathe air into your lungs
Tell you I love you
Follow me
I’ll take you to hidden lands
If only you let me now

Take a breath
Lay your head
In my hands

Hold me now
For the last
Rise to see the light
Hold me now
At last

Close your eyes
I’ll breathe air into your lungs
Follow me
I’ll take you to hidden lands

Close your eyes
I’ll breathe air into your lungs
Tell you I love you
Follow me
I’ll take you to hidden lands
If only you let me now

Take a breath
Lay your head
In my hands

You're drifting downwards
You're drifting downwards
You're drifting down
To the forgotten window

Mermaid - GOLDHOUSE Remix

www.bethebear.se

Be The Bear is the Art Pop baby of Danish/English artist & producer Christina Wehage. Her singles “Bad Things” and "Bump" topped the iTunes charts in Sweden. Since then the music has been celebrated internationally. Be The Bear’s debut is to be released in 2015.

“Scandinavia once again proves to be a musical paradise … The voice of the singer seems to swim in places recalling the best achievements of Björk, or the charismatic voice of Florence Welch.”
- Music Is, Poland

“Danish/English siren Christina Wehage births experimental pop under the name of Be The Bear. Ever wondered what it would sound like if School of Seven Bells made love to Björk whilst on speed? New single ‘Coffee Kids’ is just that.”
- acid stag, Australia

“If the pop music industry in the UK has any respect for itself, Be The Bear will be hailed like Gotye or Fun. Niki and the Dove might be the latest cover story for Scandinavian pop, but that may soon shift to highlight Be The Bear and rightfully so” 5/5 – Samuel Litherland, Born Music UK

“a multcoloured melody that eschews early Björk and Niki and the Dove. Surging forth on a joyous ride of electro pop that shoos and coos bad karma away from your body”
- God Is In The TV Zine, UK

“Be The Bear’s tasty brand of electro pop had me hooked on my very first listen. Her voice slays me.”
- Syffal, USA

“Scandinavian indiepop act Be The Bear have recently released their debut EP Fireships into the global arena, creating a musical landscape full of indiefolk, dance and electropop. Topping the Swedish iTunes charts with single Bad Things and enjoying airplay in the US, Singapore, Germany and Japan, Be The Bear are helping Scandinavian pop gain worldwide status.”
- 1883 Magazine, London

LISTEN: New single ’Mermaid’: https://awal.lnk.to/Mermaid

Be The The Bear is the nom de plume of Swedish artist and producer Christina Wehage. She is also the founder of the record label Loud Attic Records. Wehage is a one-woman music machine with a bubbly yet clever pop sensibility and an avant-garde persona reminiscent of Bjork and AURORA.

Her debut single “Erupt” was released last year and scored success right off the bat, landing placement in an international TV commercial for Volvo and climbing the iTunes charts in Sweden. Her sophomore release “I Don’t Want To” was released in early August and was instantly added to Spotify’s highly-coveted New Music Friday US as well as Apple Music’s Future Hits and Best of the Week.

The alias Be The Bear derives from Wehage’s childhood fear of bears and recurring cold-sweat nightmares. “I used to dream about them every night, chasing me up old wooden staircases. When dreams come back again and again, I think it’s because you’re trying to deal with something. I wasn’t facing my fears and challenging myself”. Christina adopted the totem of the wild bear, creating a powerful musical persona for herself.

When asked about Erupt, Christina states: “Erupt is my ode to new places in life and an invocation to the fearlessness in all of us. It’s about the learning experience of transporting strong emotions into something physical”.

PRESS ON ERUPT: “Cinematic and stunning, ‘Erupt’ is the goosebump inducing debut single from Be The Bear” – Wonderland Magazine “Reminiscent of Björk in its sheer free-wheeling creativity, ‘Erupt’ is a beautiful, wholly inspired return” – Clash Magazine “The sweeping orchestral arrangement and minimal electronic touches have garnered comparisons to AURORA and Florence + The Machine; artists similar not only in sound but in the fairytale feel of their various works. ‘Erupt’ seems an apt name for the artist’s almost volcanically dramatic arrival on the pop scene” – Line Of Best Fit

Atwood Magazine interviewed Be The Bear about the story behind “I Don’t Want To”: “The song was created out of pure joy and playfulness, during a sweaty improvised rehearsal in my studio… We were just bouncing up and down, laughing and shouting more than singing. It was one of those songs that just writes itself organically, and you wonder where it came from.”

Wehage continues, “I’m a very positive and bouncy person, and that can really piss some people off. It’s so easy to get down and I know that’s why many people give up on making music altogether… Even though that’s the one thing in life they can see themselves doing, like me. It takes a very firm positive attitude and general stubbornness and self-pride to keep going. This song is all about harnessing that joie de vivre and restless summer energy, and just going for what you want. That is something I try to do as much as possible, and encourage everyone I meet to do too. Let’s have the biggest dreams and go for them – the bigger the better.”

Be The Bear has teamed up with American DJ and producer GOLDHOUSE for an infectious new single ‘Ruler’, available October 5th via Congo Records/Spinnin’ Records. After collaborating on a remix together, GOLDHOUSE and Be The Bear decided to take it one step further and work on something entirely new. Going back and forth with ideas, sounds, and lyrics, “Ruler” was eventually born. As Be The Bear described it, the collaboration was just “so fun, easy and natural,” and as a listener, you can absolutely tell. Effervescent and vibrant, it’s the kind of song you’ll be singing along to almost instantaneously.
