step one you see it then two you fall apart before you drink the water show that you are not, you're not afraid step three you're tired four five the glass is drained fill up our time is flying show that you are not, you're not afraid - on six you're climbing jump one you're through the floor look at the past for timing show that you are not, you're not afraid nine ten together but one is through the veil before you drink the water show that you are not afraid

how can I fall I know it all should never be this hard to dream I can see my breath rise it fills my eyes I swim in my reflection -- I want to ground all my words as my reward it carries all my weight for me blue and red lethargy it's all on me to shift this false expression off of me

can't wrap my mind around shouldn't be one more day that we let down filling the ground with seeds follow the sound that's all that I need

about

All of the compositions are named after places I’ve lived or spent some significant time in and at. The root of my belonging and identity lies in Berlin. The bear is the sign of Berlin and I have therefore chosen BÄR to be the name that ties all these places together. On a personal note - after deciding on the album title, I came across 6 wild bears in 2 weeks during my travels which seemed like a strong sign that I had chosen the right name. The album only came together for me after placing each composition with the right name and finding that red thread that connects them all. I have challenged myself and my band tremendously with these pieces and am thrilled to share them with the world finally.
