Mary Bue Shares New Single ‘Bedding Down with the Deer’

American singer and songwriter Mary Bue shares her brand new single Bedding Down with the Deer, a haunting indie-pop song taken from her upcoming album The Wildness of Living and Dying. 

 

Bedding Down with the Deer surrounds a traumatic experience of being carjacked by two teenage girls outside of her house in November 2020, a storytelling flawlessly conveyed through her rich, commanding vocals. You can feel the raw emotion pouring from her delivery and how it takes a traumatic experience and shares a message of compassion for those who are going through hard times and processing trauma. A captivating storytelling wrapped around steady drum patterns, fuzzy guitar riffs, cool rhythms, emotive piano keys and enchanting strings that come together to create an overall warm, heartfelt atmosphere.

Speaking about the song, Mary Bue said,

“In ‘Bedding Down with the Deer,’ I sing of wishing I could sleep with the deer in their soft forest beds (if they would let me) as that feels ‘safer than my corner, safer than my own damn bed, safer than my own head.’ The song then opens up my own hope for how we could cultivate compassion for those who are processing trauma & hard times.”
