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).

My Sea
CALLmeKAT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Demons crawling on the inside of my chest
Everything in green looks rather yellow
I wish some of these thoughts would take a rest
The shimmering subtle feeling
Of you breathing on me in your sleep
And every breath you take
Right behind my eyes they're dancing slowly
They know me far too well I don't know them
I see their scarlett dresses and pale masks oh
I know that soon they'll all be back again
The shimmering subtle feeling
Of you breathing on me in your sleep
And every breath you take
It wisks away a shadow from my sea
The shimmering subtle feeling
Of you breathing on me in your sleep
And every breath you take
It wisks away a shadow from my sea
The song My Sea by CALLmeKAT delves into the internal struggle of the singer's mind. The lyrics convey how the singer is feeling trapped and haunted by their own thoughts that are represented by demons crawling inside their chest. The night feels surreal and everything in green looks yellow, representing the distorted perception of the world around the singer. The singer wishes they could shut off their thoughts and take a break from their mental struggles.
The chorus of the song is a beautiful portrayal of the comfort the singer finds in their partner's presence. The subtle feeling of the partner breathing on them in their sleep is a calming presence that helps the singer find relief from their thoughts. Every breath the partner takes seems to dissipate a shadow from the singer's sea, signifying that their partner helps to ease their mental struggles.
The second verse of the song shows the lyricist's ability to paint an eerie picture of the demons behind their eyes dancing slowly. These demons know the singer all too well, but the singer doesn't know them at all. The scarlet dresses and pale masks represent the dark and unknown nature of the singer's thoughts haunting them. The singer knows that soon these thoughts will be back again, and they will have to face their demons.

On a night like this my head is spinning
My thoughts are all scattered on this particular night
Demons crawling on the inside of my chest
My inner self is not at peace and something is constantly torturing me
Everything in green looks rather yellow
Even the good things in my life seem to be losing their brightness and meaning
I wish some of these thoughts would take a rest
I am tired of overthinking and I just want a moment of calmness and peace
The shimmering subtle feeling
A gentle and soothing sensation
Of you breathing on me in your sleep
Your presence and love is comforting and calming to me
And every breath you take
Each moment spent with you is precious and meaningful
It wisks away a shadow from my sea
Being with you eradicates any negativity and darkness from my life
Right behind my eyes they're dancing slowly
My mind is occupied with unsettling thoughts that I cannot control
They know me far too well I don't know them
These thoughts are so familiar to me, but I don't understand why they won't leave me alone
I see their scarlett dresses and pale masks oh
These thoughts have taken the form of haunting and disturbing images in my mind
I know that soon they'll all be back again
I am aware that these thoughts will continue to haunt me, regardless of how hard I try to escape
