Teddy Swims - 'Bed On Fire'

“Fear lives in love.” Teddy Swims translates this heart-breaking yet relatable message fearlessly on his latest release, ‘Bed On Fire’ is a heart-wrenching soulful pop song with a hook that stayed with us for a long time after listening.

The Atlanta-based artist fuses influences from soul, pop and R&B and creates a grand, anthemic and emotive sound that opens wounds and helps them heal. ‘Bed On Fire’ comes with a video that watches like a short film, and brings its lyrics to life. The song talks about the power that comes with being deeply loved, Teddy expands on the inspiration behind ‘Bed On Fire’: “‘Bed On Fire’ comes from a place of genuine fear of loving someone so much that if they ever got up and decided to leave you at any moment they could crush your whole world.” 

Teddy Swims gives us a piece of himself in the form of his latest single, yet despite the personal narrative of ‘Bed On Fire’ the song seems to have been written for all of those that have been in a similar situation before, or are now. His voice has an edge to it that gives not just the vocals but the entire song a personal touch which delivers its message perfectly. It is a smouldering and sensational release that sets the stage for Teddy Swims’ upcoming debut EP!
