The Bells 03:59
The bells are ringing The bells all over this land Ring for our love The night is watching us The colors pink and blue Wrapped around me and you The bells are calling out To the moon and the stars Singing shine on the love that is ours The bells are ringing ’Til everyone in this land Knows ’bout our love The clouds all blown away They don’t wanna be in the way Way of our wedding day The bells are calling out To the moon and the stars Singing shine on the love that is ours The bells are calling out To the moon and the stars Singing shine on the love that is ours I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t Baby, I can’t wait ’til tomorrow...

about

"The Bells" was originally written for the screen, the Swedish director Lisa Aschan's film Ring mamma! (2019) about a tumultous woman trying to make sense of her life and the people in it. So ”The Bells” is something so strange as a comissioned song about love. The song kind of grew on me. Maybe because it tells of something sweet and untarnished and very hopeful and so I felt I wanted to make something more of it. But first I had to find a place for me in it. I am, as you know, not sweet and untarnished. I wanted to create a world for it. So together with my faithful partner Jacob Haage and the producer Patrik Berger (Lana Del Ray, Robyn, Ariel Pink etc) I created this jangly soundscape. I remember recording the vocals at the same time as the Corona virus hit the world and it seemed quite ironic to be singing about something as trivial as love. But then it hit me that love is perhaps what we need especially these days. That and hope. Which made the last phrase of the song ”baby I can’t wait ’til tomorrow” ring even more bittersweet and true. I really can’t wait until tomorrow."
