🩸 Blood is Sweet – An Original Song by Bear in the Forest (Baron the Forest)

“Blood is Sweet” dives into the dark and beautiful tension between love, desire, and self-preservation. Written after binge-watching True Blood, this song channels the haunting romance of vampires—the intoxicating pull between surrender and survival.

It’s about loving someone deeply while knowing you can’t give them everything. There’s power in vulnerability, but there’s also a quiet strength in holding onto your own light. In Blood is Sweet, that dance between hunger and restraint becomes something sacred and human.

The lyrics move between shadow and moonlight—where passion burns, fear fades, and connection lives in the space between giving and being consumed.

🎶 “I know my blood is sweet, there’s joy and life in it. You can walk in the sun for a minute, but you can’t take all of it.”

Musically, the song blends indie-folk and dark balladry, carried by a moody, intimate energy. It’s a love song wrapped in night air, where the boundary between lover and spirit blurs under the moon.

If you enjoy songs that explore love, mystery, and the pull between light and dark, this one’s for you.
