I’ve read all your comments and I just want to say: I’m so grateful for all the support you guys have been showing my song. It means so much to me that you can connect with it, feel the rage and sorrow, the frustration and the pain. I hope this song can continue to be your pillar of strength when it feels like the world is crumbling around you 🖤
It’s difference flavor of feminine (well feminine presenting) rage. This one is defensive, the building of a shield on personal level so we can fight to protect us all ^ this is is just my interpretation. Er how it makes me feel. Edit: and remember, not everyone with a uterus is a women and not all women have a uterus. ❤️
@opalishmoth8591 dang. No uterus here.. and they still didn't care, and I was wearing shorts and a tee shirt.. Still feeling the rage and sorrow being a survivor without that part of me.
@@TinkHerBellI am so sorry if I came across as invalidating your experience. I was thinking of cases like myself (have a uterus but am not a woman) but you are absolutely correct. I was trying to find a gender neutral way to say “women targeted”. I guess “targeting of XX-phenotype presenting folks” is what I was looking for? For those who don’t know, phenotype refers to physical trait that is expressed (observed) like eye color, nose shape, ect. Genetics is COMPLICATED (I just have a base level understanding) so different genotypes (genetic code variant of a given gene) can produce the same phenotype. And just because you have a gene doesn’t necessarily mean it’s expressed physically. Environmental factors play a role. So the gender neutral way to say “feminine” is “XX-presenting” XX refers to the 23rd pair of chromosomes, and if you have XX you will be born with a uterus. (XY would mean born with a penis.) ALSO, there is intersex which mean you got some combination of XX and XY. So when I say “XX-presenting” I’m referring to body portions (waist narrower than hips and bust) boobs, higher pitched voice and NOT what’s in someone’s pants. . The external traits that are expressed in association with estrogen. Plus you can be genetically XX and identify as a women but lack a uterus because of a health reasons. Idk I guess “feminine presenting” is simpler
@opalishmoth8591 you're a true saint. Much love and support. You're reply was a level of kindness and respect I never expected. You're a very compassionate person and I appreciate you for being you. Keep being strong xo
I don't leave comments often, but I really love this song, but it makes me sad. I'm a man, and when I first heard the bear or the man question I laughed and wondered why such an obvious question would even be asked. Then I heard so many women saying bear that it was baffling. It's frustrating to think that a woman would fear me more than a literal super predator that would only see an easy meal, but history shows the awful picture of my gender. In conclusion, I can understand why a guaranteed end by a beast is better than a slight chance of running into a monster. "There may not be many, but enough to doubt them all."
I think I speak for many women when I say that your willingness to understand our side rather than immediately pointing fingers and taking offense, means a lot. We all understand that there are good men out there. But what could happen to us if the man in front of us *isn't* good, is such a horrific possibility that we have to be cautious of every man because of the actions of the evil few.
Thank you for your perspective. Yes the sad reality that death is the worst a bear or wolf could do... centuries of oppression against women has proven this and even ongoing oppression. We don't want to think this way. We have to. 😔
@@EleanorDowdall-n8s I mean, all men are under suspicion because of a few assholes. As someone who no woman has anything to fear, that hits home for me.
She repeated that line so many times, it made me wonder what on eath she was wearing that apparently constantly evoked that remark. Probably not the intention...
When I was a little girl, before I understood all the things women faced, I had always said to my friends and family that I belonged with nature. I have always said that I would rather be killed by animals than humans, because "the animal is just trying to survive". As I got older, I understood better. I told all my friends and family that I wanted to be buried with a tree or some seeds. These songs make me feel validated, this and Last Woman On Earth, because, even as a little girl, I chose the bears and wolves. And I still, to this day, choose the bears and wolves.
I had to pull over when I heard that verse because of my lived experience. There is a flurry of emotions with this song, but I love feeling so validated too
I love the fact the you mentioned Marylin Monroe, because is really sad ...she was also a victim of SA and abuse,and the fact thet many men were opsses with her ,it so sad...is really scary what happened to her after her death,she didn't deserve it.
I love that the different voices have a feeling of an adult helping a child through their trauma; i don't know if that was intentionally done, but its great and oh so sad
It’s absolutely normal, especially if you can relate to the song yourself. It’s a heart wrenching topic and traumatic to experience. And the song itself was written, sung, and composed so beautifully. I’d be surprised if most people weren’t feeling all that while listening to this song
Lilith, you've done something powerful here. As a person (female) who lives around and sometimes in Wilderness, multiple kinds of bears and a few different kinds of wolves..you've beautifully put what I always struggled to say when people called me brave or crazy for hiking alone, cross country road trips alone, etc, etc. A charging bear is a little scare. Rush of life. Gratefulness for a peaceable encounter if only a charge occurs. Makes me feel alive and on top of the world. I am one, with all that is living, including the dance of predator territory and prey. Working with Wolf hybrids, has my entire arm in his jaws, and we're having a who's going to back down contest of wills - whew that was close. Might be a little shaky for a bit. Being followed and almost touched when I stood my ground to see if he was unaware or actually creeping; creeping (been a few years since I had some this bold in a simple bookstore) and I immediately wandered like a maze until he bugged off. Yes, I could have said something. But that would just add to my experience that was already harder to deal with than any of the bears or wolves, or moose or anything I'm a afraid that's after me. I'm a small, slight person. I DO pick the Wolves and Bears and will continue to do so over Men for predictable safety..everytime. Brilliant work and Art.
UNDERRATED. "It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all." Yes. YES. I LOVE THT LYRIC, BEC IVE SEEN PEOPLE SAYING "NOT ALL MEN ARE LIKE THAT" AND I WS SO TIRED OF SEEING THOSE COMMENTS, THIS DESERVES SM MORE RECOGNITION!
If they give you a bowl of candy and tell you that only four are poisoned, you don't eat the damn bowl. Why don't people get that? Another thing that really bugs me is when they segue that with "what about male victims then?" You know who I've never heard say that "but not ALL men" (and variations) bullsh!t? Male victims. They also pick the bear and they know why women do.
Preying on minors is the most disgusting thing a person can do. I'm so sorry you went through that awful experience. No one should have to go through that..

This is so beautiful, especially after elections. I remember crying in bed late at night and then wondering why nobody was worried. Thank you for making this.
Yes I think the election made a lot of us feel like we were losing our minds. But together, we know that our worries and our experiences matter and that we won't easily back down ❤
I am sitting here crying because I feel this pain so badly for all the things that has been done to women around the world. Things that are happening right now and things that have happened. My female rage has never been this close to the surface and I am fucking SICK of how we are treated. Thank you for making this song. I feel this virbating through my core.
"And when I tell the beast all the things you would do, they will cry as well AND FEAR YOU TOO" A bear? Worse thing they'll do is kill you, a man...? What does a man _can't_ do?
Well, women can and will do all bad things that a man can do. And, by the way, the worse things that a bear can do is maul someone, but most men don't do that, all bears do.
I have two comments: While it is true and important to recognize that women can be just as bad as men and that victims of all genders have troubles getting people to believe them, it is also important to recognize that the vast majority of assaults were done by men unto women, and that way too many times, these women are forced to take at least part of the blame when there is zero fault on their side. And secondly, nowhere near every bear would maul you. Most polar bears, some of other species and any bears with pups might do that, but otherwise they usually don’t see humans as prey and will leave them alone if the human does the same.
@@featherofajay4667According to statistics that only focused on male on female abuse. The number of men assaulted by women is much higher than you think.
@@redmist2053a man could hold me captive for the rest of my life, starving me slowly, no outside contact but him, force himself on me, force me to bear his children.. I could keep going on and on.... BEAR ALWAYS let's that mf maul me to death and eat me, it's the worst fate I could have with the bear!!!!! Let me add, the bear won't kidnap me or try to sell me either.
Ally here. At the point where the world disgusts me. I will do everything I can to help when I can. Stand behind me and I will be a shield. If necessary I will also be a sword.
Hooooh damn I've got chills! I love the way you use your fairy tale light voice for most of the verses but then you drop to a powerful deep tone you rarely use in your music, it makes my skin shiver in the best way! You've put out another banger, I absolutely love it!!
"It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all." This line means so much to me. I was 14 when I was raped. 4 years later and I'm still scared of all men I don't know. I know not all mean are out there to hurt me but I'm still worried it will happen again.
What an absolutely defiant message to send to the people who feel they have dominance and control over women's bodies and minds because they feel that they have been empowered by recent incredible events in the states. x
C'mon that's not fair! I've just listened to the song and it's going straight to my On repeat playlist, where there are already plenty of other your songs 😄 I guess other singers won't have a chance. Btw, the song is amazing, can feel all the anger and power 👏
You don't know fear 'til it's calling from behind And the streets that are familiar seem to stretch out at night They dragged her to the woods, they couldn't leave Anne on her own And the press paraded pictures of a dead Marilyn Monroe And I will always choose the bear I will always choose the wolves No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes I would rather choose to die Let my body decompose 'Cause even when you're ash, thеy will never let you go, no Carеful of the stranger, a face you've never met You've seen them in your churches They're sleeping in your beds And history will teach you, "They were all such willing wives" Sacagawea was a chlild when her body lost its rights I will always choose the bear I will always choose the wolves No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes I would rather choose to die Let my body decompose Even when you're ash, they will never let you go, no The waves, let them take me The walls, let them fall It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all And I tell the beasts all the things you would do They would cry as well, and fear you too I will always choose the bear I will always choose the wolves No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes I would rather choose to die Let my body decompose 'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go I will always choose the bear I will always choose the wolves No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes I would rather choose to die Let my body decompose 'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go 'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go, no
I love how u change the way u sang thru out the song! To me, the more high pitched voice shows innocence and purity (before one was r@ped) and the deeper voice is after a traumatic experience!
“you don’t know fear till it’s calling from behind” hits different. You think you have faced challenges, but when you see your life about to break apart you finally realize that this is TRULY FEAR 💔
I found this song on a short and instantly listened, being a teen that can relate breaks my mental health but this song makes me feel like I'm not alone and that there are people out there that feel my pain. Sometimes I feel like I'm overreacting but I realize that I'm not. Thank you so much for this song ❤❤❤❤ one message. You. Are. Not. Alone. ❤️
The depth of your lyrics is very powerful, Lilith! You go through the registers in your voice flawlessly in a way that underlines each word, well done!
This song is amazing, so powerful, I feel sad, but so much angr too ! I have a question tho, I am sorry I will totally sound ignorante but if someone can help me explain the reference of the womans in the song ? Like "They couldn’t leave Anne on her own", who is Anne ? I kinda get the Marylin Monroe (I know about the media pushing her to her death) but I don't know "Sacagawea" neither. It's maybe because I'm french so I do not have the same reference, or just because I'm dumb. but I try to be better, please, if you know, explain to me... Thanks !
No worries I can explain ❤ Anne Boleyn was the wife of Henry the Eight and he had her executed in order to marry another woman. After her passing, Anne's maids took charge of caring for her body before the burial. They were afraid someone would violate her body even in death. with Marilyn, the press took pictures of her naked body during her autopsy and spread the pictures for everyone to see. Sacagawea was an Indigenous translator for the Lewis and Clarke expedition in early American history. But the real truth was that she was kidnapped from her tribe and bought at the age of 12 by a man who abused and impregnated her. Sacagawea had to walk through America while pregnant, she had to wash all the men's clothings, cook their food, translate their words to Native tribes, and was beaten by her "husband". She never received any payment for her work, and history only remembers her as a translator, and as a good "wife".
@LilithMax thanks a lot! I understand better, all of this is horrible... Your song make so much meaning, I'm wish all woman could know it to claim all : We will always choose the bear
This song is so beautiful and powerful, but also sad. Ksiądz w mojej szkole powiedział, że gdyby kobiety nie ubierały by się wyzywająco, nie dochodziłoby do napaści. Więc dlaczego tak bardzo boje się, gdy widzę grupę mocno pijanych mężczyzn przede mną? Przecież nie jestem ubrana "wyzywająco". Znam wiele historii, w których kobiety były ubrane normalnie, a i tak zostały skrzywdzone. Wybrałabym niedźwiedzia, bo on nie chce mnie skrzywdzić tak jak człowiek. Niedźwiedź broni terytorium, swoich młodych, siebie. A człowiek... Robi to dla przyjemności. To mnie przeraża.
There's a line in one of my favorite movies, "The Company of Wolves"; "The Wolves in the forest are more decent." This song literally gives me reason to survive in a world that does not value women as people at all. It's not that we choose the bear. *_WE ARE THE BEAR._* We are Nature herself. *_AND SHE IS PISSED._* Incredible feminist song.
Thank you for understanding. I was 10 when I was SAed by my grandfather for the first time. It's been almost 5 years since the beggining of that sh*t and it still hurts, he was the only one who I thought that care ...
Freu' mich schon auf das Musikvideo.💪😁 Der Song bekommt doch noch eins, oder? Please, Lilith make it really! Das wäre nämlich, sagen wir's Mal so, *Bärenstark* 💪😜😁
To every women in here, I'm sorry. I was part of the ones that disapproved some of the messages that I see now in this comment section, I thought that every other men should not be taken for dangerous because of those A**holes that lack of humanity. But now I get it, and I'm sorry, sorry you have to endure this every day, sorry for beeing useless against them, sorry I can't let you know from far away that I'm not one of them. Take care and stay aware. I think every men can endure been suspected more than we can endure seeing a wife, a sister, a mother or a daugther in the hands of one of these monsters. You can take me for a monster if it helps you avoid the real ones, that's a weight I and a lot of men are ready to carry. And Lilith as always, the song is fire, well done.
Thank you for your words. You sound like an amazing human. I would like to make one gentle reminder, though, for you to think about. We aren't just "wives, sisters, mothers, or daughters." We're SOMEBODY, and that's enough. If you saw a man, you don't think, "I shouldn't harm them. They're someone's husband, brother, father or son." You just know they are SOMEBODY. Please continue being an advocate for women and know that your words here are appreciated. ❤
@@cindi5824 Yes you're right you are SOMEBODY, and that's enough to let you live in peace, I was saying that from the perspective that no one wants to see someone they care for being hurt. That's not because you are a woman that you shouldn't be hurt, but that's because there is so much harmed women that I used these words
@@未来私 Yeah, I don't need to carry the weight for something I didn't do just because I am a man, I don't deserve to be treated like a monster for that reason, if you are willing to do that, maybe think why. I don't know what's more embarrasing, your comment or the other two who praised you like an amazing human, you are all laughable.
@@redmist2053 Yeah I understand your point and as I told in my comment I was thinking the same. But if good people can be kept safe by thinking unknown good people are bad instead of trusting anyone and being trapped by an a**hole, then I'm ok not being trusted by default. I think like that in my everyday life I never fully trust anyone I can meet. If you don't want to carry that weight do as you want I'm not here to force anyone or give lessons, I was just sharing my thoughts and don't ask you to be ok with me. Have a nice day mate, hope I was clear, English is not my first language.
I send my condolences and regards to those who have been mistreated, harmed, and used by the men who thinks it is appropriate to commit such devious crimes. Not all are the same, but there are enough of them to have everyone on guard. Hell is empty, and all the devils are here. May the deities be with you all, and I wish you all the best of luck. Stay frosty.
This is such a masterpiece, have listened to it on repeat since it came out! But on apple music and youtube the volume seems to be very low on the song, don’t know why that is 🤔
I have gone through something very similar to this song and it makes my heart race and I feel like crying but no tears falls but honestly this song is just Awesome ❤️🔥

As a person (female) who lives around and sometimes in Wilderness, multiple kinds of bears and a few different kinds of wolves..you've beautifully put what I always struggled to say when people called me brave or crazy for hiking alone, cross country road trips alone, etc, etc.
A charging bear is a little scare.
Rush of life.
Gratefulness for a peaceable encounter if only a charge occurs.
Makes me feel alive and on top of the world.

"And when I tell the beast all the things you would do, they will cry as well AND FEAR YOU TOO"
A bear? Worse thing they'll do is kill you, a man...? What does a man _can't_ do?
Well, women can and will do all bad things that a man can do. And, by the way, the worse things that a bear can do is maul someone, but most men don't do that, all bears do.
I have two comments:
While it is true and important to recognize that women can be just as bad as men and that victims of all genders have troubles getting people to believe them, it is also important to recognize that the vast majority of assaults were done by men unto women, and that way too many times, these women are forced to take at least part of the blame when there is zero fault on their side.
And secondly, nowhere near every bear would maul you. Most polar bears, some of other species and any bears with pups might do that, but otherwise they usually don’t see humans as prey and will leave them alone if the human does the same.
@@featherofajay4667According to statistics that only focused on male on female abuse. The number of men assaulted by women is much higher than you think.
@@redmist2053 rather the enemy I’m familiar with than the one who’s unknown.
A wild animal is predictable, a human being is not.
@@redmist2053a man could hold me captive for the rest of my life, starving me slowly, no outside contact but him, force himself on me, force me to bear his children.. I could keep going on and on.... BEAR ALWAYS let's that mf maul me to death and eat me, it's the worst fate I could have with the bear!!!!! Let me add, the bear won't kidnap me or try to sell me either.
Instant download. Guy’s this is why they choose the bears.
Ally here. At the point where the world disgusts me. I will do everything I can to help when I can. Stand behind me and I will be a shield. If necessary I will also be a sword.
This song, Labour, Don’t Cry For Your Daughters Eve…these songs all send such powerful messages of the issues women go through
Your voice is so beautiful. This song can understand women. It's full of pain, fear and power
Thank you! Also love your Jimin profile pic ❤
"No matter what they do they wouldn't blame my clothes "
Hooooh damn I've got chills! I love the way you use your fairy tale light voice for most of the verses but then you drop to a powerful deep tone you rarely use in your music, it makes my skin shiver in the best way!
You've put out another banger, I absolutely love it!!
Thank you! ❤ ❤
"It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all." This line means so much to me. I was 14 when I was raped. 4 years later and I'm still scared of all men I don't know. I know not all mean are out there to hurt me but I'm still worried it will happen again.

I just love the switches between the different lines
What an absolutely defiant message to send to the people who feel they have dominance and control over women's bodies and minds because they feel that they have been empowered by recent incredible events in the states. x
C'mon that's not fair! I've just listened to the song and it's going straight to my On repeat playlist, where there are already plenty of other your songs 😄 I guess other singers won't have a chance. Btw, the song is amazing, can feel all the anger and power 👏
I never wrote a comment under the video, but I really fell in love with this real and beautiful song.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the song! ❤
My body my choice 🔥🔥🔥
Love this song, I cant stop listening to it on repeat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤❤
You don't know fear 'til it's calling from behind
And the streets that are familiar seem to stretch out at night
They dragged her to the woods, they couldn't leave Anne on her own
And the press paraded pictures of a dead Marilyn Monroe
And I will always choose the bear
I will always choose the wolves
No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes
I would rather choose to die
Let my body decompose
'Cause even when you're ash, thеy will never let you go, no
Carеful of the stranger, a face you've never met
You've seen them in your churches
They're sleeping in your beds
And history will teach you, "They were all such willing wives"
Sacagawea was a chlild when her body lost its rights
I will always choose the bear
I will always choose the wolves
No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes
I would rather choose to die
Let my body decompose
Even when you're ash, they will never let you go, no
The waves, let them take me
The walls, let them fall
It may not be many, but enough to doubt them all
And I tell the beasts all the things you would do
They would cry as well, and fear you too
I will always choose the bear
I will always choose the wolves
No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes
I would rather choose to die
Let my body decompose
'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go
I will always choose the bear
I will always choose the wolves
No matter what they do, they wouldn't blame my clothes
I would rather choose to die
Let my body decompose
'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go
'Cause even when you're ash, they will never let you go, no
This song hits different. Thank you. Chills, crying in realization and empowerment all at the same time.
This song honestly ends the whole debate. The lyrics are so carefully put together and are so beautiful
Thank you
I seen your reel just now and immediately have to download it
❤ I love the way you use your voice and the dynamic of the song ❤ And even my little daughter couldn't stop listening. 😊😊
Thank you! I'm happy you're both enjoying the song ^^ ❤
Thank you so much for this
thank you for enjoying it
I love how u change the way u sang thru out the song! To me, the more high pitched voice shows innocence and purity (before one was r@ped) and the deeper voice is after a traumatic experience!
I'm in tears 😭
Lyrics hit so hard💔
I love this song. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking 💔
And your vocals are amazing💜
Thank you ❤
One of the best songs I have heard! Love it! Love your voice!❤❤❤ You have a new fan here!😊❤🎉
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! ❤
oml i just introduced all my friends to you and they love you
I literally had to scroll my favorite on tiktok to remember the title!! I was waiting since nov8!!!
Oh my gosh! thank you for waiting ❤
“you don’t know fear till it’s calling from behind” hits different. You think you have faced challenges, but when you see your life about to break apart you finally realize that this is TRULY FEAR 💔
I'm a woman, and I will always choose a bear. Absolutely in love with this song.
the lyrics are good, music is catchy, everything is good
I'm in love with this song its criminally underrated frr gurl you're so brilliant like im in love
Thank you!! ❤
In tears, the raw power in her voice, this song speaks to me so much
Song is actually fire
Came from tiktok its soo good
I found this song on a short and instantly listened, being a teen that can relate breaks my mental health but this song makes me feel like I'm not alone and that there are people out there that feel my pain. Sometimes I feel like I'm overreacting but I realize that I'm not. Thank you so much for this song ❤❤❤❤ one message. You. Are. Not. Alone. ❤️
This song give me a lot of strength to fight for right.❤❤
❤❤
The switch Is SO powerful
Fr tho
I've been waiting for you to. release this! Thank you!!!
The depth of your lyrics is very powerful, Lilith! You go through the registers in your voice flawlessly in a way that underlines each word, well done!
Thank you! ❤
This song is amazing, so powerful, I feel sad, but so much angr too ! I have a question tho, I am sorry I will totally sound ignorante but if someone can help me explain the reference of the womans in the song ? Like "They couldn’t leave Anne on her own", who is Anne ? I kinda get the Marylin Monroe (I know about the media pushing her to her death) but I don't know "Sacagawea" neither. It's maybe because I'm french so I do not have the same reference, or just because I'm dumb. but I try to be better, please, if you know, explain to me... Thanks !
No worries I can explain ❤
Anne Boleyn was the wife of Henry the Eight and he had her executed in order to marry another woman. After her passing, Anne's maids took charge of caring for her body before the burial. They were afraid someone would violate her body even in death. with Marilyn, the press took pictures of her naked body during her autopsy and spread the pictures for everyone to see. Sacagawea was an Indigenous translator for the Lewis and Clarke expedition in early American history. But the real truth was that she was kidnapped from her tribe and bought at the age of 12 by a man who abused and impregnated her. Sacagawea had to walk through America while pregnant, she had to wash all the men's clothings, cook their food, translate their words to Native tribes, and was beaten by her "husband". She never received any payment for her work, and history only remembers her as a translator, and as a good "wife".
@LilithMax thanks a lot! I understand better, all of this is horrible... Your song make so much meaning, I'm wish all woman could know it to claim all : We will always choose the bear
Man...this song slays so hard. So many goosebumps under the span of just 3 minutes.
0:25 The change of voice though🔥
Very beautiful song!
Thank you!
This song is so beautiful and powerful, but also sad.
Ksiądz w mojej szkole powiedział, że gdyby kobiety nie ubierały by się wyzywająco, nie dochodziłoby do napaści. Więc dlaczego tak bardzo boje się, gdy widzę grupę mocno pijanych mężczyzn przede mną? Przecież nie jestem ubrana "wyzywająco". Znam wiele historii, w których kobiety były ubrane normalnie, a i tak zostały skrzywdzone. Wybrałabym niedźwiedzia, bo on nie chce mnie skrzywdzić tak jak człowiek. Niedźwiedź broni terytorium, swoich młodych, siebie. A człowiek... Robi to dla przyjemności. To mnie przeraża.
New favorite song!!! Right next to “Don’t cry for your daughters Eve” and “Peasant’s throne”!
"No matter what they do they won't blame my clothes." That hit me so hard. That's what everyone always asked me.
There's a line in one of my favorite movies, "The Company of Wolves"; "The Wolves in the forest are more decent." This song literally gives me reason to survive in a world that does not value women as people at all. It's not that we choose the bear. *_WE ARE THE BEAR._* We are Nature herself. *_AND SHE IS PISSED._* Incredible feminist song.
I'm so so happy you enjoyed the song. Yes, now is the time for all of us to rally and gather our strength to fight for our freedom and safety ❤
Thank you for understanding. I was 10 when I was SAed by my grandfather for the first time. It's been almost 5 years since the beggining of that sh*t and it still hurts, he was the only one who I thought that care ...
I'M SO EXCITED ＼(≧▽≦)／ only two more days people, than we can listen and add it to our female rage playlists! Can't wait! Edit: EEK it's tomorrow!
REMINDERR
Here we are 🎉
Waiting for this song to drop🖤❤️
You are great, great song 🔥📀🎧
Very strong and powerful song. I really like your sound and style! 🥰
I have been waiting moooonths for this song. So thrilled it is out. 😭💙
This is absolute masterpiece. Every women will love it
this is damn gorgeous the voice changes like🤌
The way i got chills... from the realization... from every single word.
I don't know of i shud be rage or cry.
This is such an important Song, thank you
Fantastic Song. Congratulations. Fan from Germany. What a voice you have, wow.
Thank you so much! ❤
Freu' mich schon auf das Musikvideo.💪😁
Der Song bekommt doch noch eins, oder? Please, Lilith make it really! Das wäre nämlich, sagen wir's Mal so, *Bärenstark* 💪😜😁
« I would rather choose to die, and let my body decompose » hits super hard, you feel the anger pain and disgust in there and it’s all part of me too.
ive been waiting for this to come out finally tysm for making this i love it...this is just perfect!! hits right on the spot
Glad you like it! ^^ ❤
So excited!!
"They wouldn't blame my clothes" Real, he did it when i was 7 (i was wearing my unicorn pajamas)
Oh my god I am so so sorry. No one should ever have to go through that. I hope he rots in hell.
To every women in here, I'm sorry. I was part of the ones that disapproved some of the messages that I see now in this comment section, I thought that every other men should not be taken for dangerous because of those A**holes that lack of humanity. But now I get it, and I'm sorry, sorry you have to endure this every day, sorry for beeing useless against them, sorry I can't let you know from far away that I'm not one of them. Take care and stay aware. I think every men can endure been suspected more than we can endure seeing a wife, a sister, a mother or a daugther in the hands of one of these monsters. You can take me for a monster if it helps you avoid the real ones, that's a weight I and a lot of men are ready to carry.
And Lilith as always, the song is fire, well done.
We need more people like you. Than you, I'm sure that the people who know you are aware of the wonderful person you are
Thank you for your words. You sound like an amazing human.
I would like to make one gentle reminder, though, for you to think about. We aren't just "wives, sisters, mothers, or daughters." We're SOMEBODY, and that's enough. If you saw a man, you don't think, "I shouldn't harm them. They're someone's husband, brother, father or son." You just know they are SOMEBODY.
Please continue being an advocate for women and know that your words here are appreciated. ❤
@@cindi5824 Yes you're right you are SOMEBODY, and that's enough to let you live in peace, I was saying that from the perspective that no one wants to see someone they care for being hurt. That's not because you are a woman that you shouldn't be hurt, but that's because there is so much harmed women that I used these words
@@未来私 Yeah, I don't need to carry the weight for something I didn't do just because I am a man, I don't deserve to be treated like a monster for that reason, if you are willing to do that, maybe think why. I don't know what's more embarrasing, your comment or the other two who praised you like an amazing human, you are all laughable.
@@redmist2053 Yeah I understand your point and as I told in my comment I was thinking the same. But if good people can be kept safe by thinking unknown good people are bad instead of trusting anyone and being trapped by an a**hole, then I'm ok not being trusted by default. I think like that in my everyday life I never fully trust anyone I can meet. If you don't want to carry that weight do as you want I'm not here to force anyone or give lessons, I was just sharing my thoughts and don't ask you to be ok with me. Have a nice day mate, hope I was clear, English is not my first language.
Beautiful song and beautiful voice !
I literally can't wait 😭 I'm too impatient
You have a such a unique voice!!
Thank you!
I send my condolences and regards to those who have been mistreated, harmed, and used by the men who thinks it is appropriate to commit such devious crimes. Not all are the same, but there are enough of them to have everyone on guard. Hell is empty, and all the devils are here. May the deities be with you all, and I wish you all the best of luck. Stay frosty.
Im so glad you finished this song!
leet's gooo Lili!!
Nice song bear approve 👏👏👏
This is such a masterpiece, have listened to it on repeat since it came out! But on apple music and youtube the volume seems to be very low on the song, don’t know why that is 🤔
Thank you! Currently working to fix the volume issue, should be normal again soon ❤
@ awh thank you so much! Love from the Netherlands ❤️
I have gone through something very similar to this song and it makes my heart race and I feel like crying but no tears falls but honestly this song is just Awesome ❤️🔥
I'm so glad you could connect with the song. May it lift you up and bring you strength ❤
