She grew up in a forest in the Danish countryside, where she would always find herself secretly drawn towards an old beat up piano. Now later in life her ongoing love for vintage and analog keyboards shines through in her music, infused with an earthy feel and a rare talent for symbiotic relationship between electric and organic elements.
In 2008 CALLmeKAT released the critically acclaimed ‘I’m In A Polaroid Where Are You?’ (EP) and ‘Fall Down’, through her own Pixiebooth label.
CALLmeKAT’s psych-pop venture was followed up with the 2012-release of the haunting sophomore full-length ‘Where The River Turns Black’ recorded in the beautiful Catskill Mountains, in the state of New York and released throughout Continental Europe (Pixiebooth/Word&Sound/Playground), featuring drummer and producer Joe Magistro (Prophet Omega) and notable bass player Sara Lee (Gang Of Four, B 52’s), with guest appearances by pals from the road; Erika Spring (Au Revoir Simone) and Helgi Jonsson (Sigur Ros).

CALLmeKAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You bend my way
And i know you need some light
But please just stay
And take me somewhere new
Or just somewhere
Show me another view
Oh, oh
I need fresh air
Oh, oh
In your thoughts in my dreams take me there
Oh, oh
It's not too late
Oh, oh,
I can't wait
In minute yes or now
Let's go, take off
We're heading for the place
Where wind blows where the pillows are soft
I heard about this place
Last night in town
All we need are shades
The sun will shine from dusk til dawn
Oh, oh
I need fresh air
Oh, oh
In your thoughts in my dreams take me there
Oh, oh
It's not too late
Oh, oh,
I can't wait
The song "Flower in the Night" by CALLmeKAT has a dreamy, atmospheric feel to it. The opening lyrics describe the singer's attraction to someone who is elusive and mysterious, like a flower that blooms only in the dark. The metaphor suggests that the object of the singer's affection is someone who needs attention and affection, but who may be afraid to show their true self in the light of day. Despite this, the singer wants this person to stay, and to take them somewhere new, somewhere that offers a different perspective on the world.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's desire for "fresh air" and a view of the world that is not tied to their current surroundings. They want to be taken on a journey, even if it means leaving behind the familiar and the comfortable. The second verse describes a specific destination they are heading to, a place with gentle winds and soft pillows. The singer seems excited about this journey and sees it as a chance to escape from their current situation and find something new and exciting.
Overall, the song is about the desire for adventure and the need to break out of old patterns and routines. It's about the attraction to someone who presents a challenge, but who also promises to take the singer on a journey to new experiences and perspectives.

Like a flower in the night
밤에 핀 꽃처럼
You bend my way
넌 나의 길을 지배해
And i know you need some light
그리고 난 네가 빛이 필요하단 걸 알지
But please just stay
하지만 그냥 여기 있어줘
And take me somewhere new
그리고 날 새로운 곳으로 데려가 줘
Or just somewhere
