The 'How Long (Will It Take)' Teddy Bear
The 'How Long (Will It Take)' teddy bear is an hommage to the Lost Wave and subreddit HLWIT community for their dedicated search that transpired over a 16-year period after Paula's song was pirated and deemed lost. Despite it being placed unattributed in a Russian bootleg DVD, the community persevered and found her in December 2023. The Teddy Bear symbol had become associated with the song. To Paula, the Teddy Bear also iconically symbolizes hope, comfort, friendships, and a sense of belonging that transpired through the coordinated efforts to solve the mystery behind the lost song.
A note from Paula: "I hope this teddy bear is a reminder to you to always believe in your own ideas, express yourself, be courageous to step into your own shoes and persevere. The song, 'How Long (Will It Take)' is about daring to live authentically and seeking support when you need it. So, I encourage you to dream big and connect with others."
