Amanda Bergman announces new album, embraced for a second as we die

Speaking of the new releases, Amanda Bergman says: "“‘is this how you said you’d be gone’ is a song about the stunned stillness after sudden loss, how loss and grief sometimes rearranges your life, and its very infrastructure. Some relationships - even when someone has died or drifted away - can feel just as vivid, sometimes even more so, than those still present. For me, the inner conversations I have with my dad and grandma, for example, can feel as real as birdsong, even though they are long since gone. I’ve stopped questioning it and instead learned to use it - not unlike how I’d honour my children’s fantasies, not for their content but for their truth. Sometimes the body and the mind agree on a kind of truth that logic can’t touch".

embraced for a second as we die follows up 2024’s Your Hand Forever Checking On My Fever for which Amanda won two Swedish GRAMMY awards, ‘Lyricist of the Year’ and ‘Singer/Songwriter of the Year’.
