about

A dreamy folk song that honors ancestors, life cycles, and love as a force of nature.

"Meredith wrote this song many years ago. I used to hum it to myself when I was alone and it comforted me. Being a mother now and being in love finally makes this song even more meaningful and real. After a difficult two years of loss, mourning, and struggle, we wanted to offer this song as a reminder that our ancestors, including our beloveds that find us each lifetime, hold us."
-Trinidad

"During a particularly fickle period of romantic connection, I began to think about how happenstance it is to have been born as the people we are at all, to practice gratitude for the chance nature of everything, and to wonder what love for another could look like across lifetimes."
-Meredith

lyrics

Use my hair
As a lap blanket
In our convalescent home
And I'll use your old legs
To cushion my head
And my blurred eyes will see
No cracks in the ceiling
No lines on your face
Only weather (only weather)

If you were born mine
I'd hold you
I'd give you my hands
And the sound of my voice
Would silence your fears
And when you'd look at me
You'd see no hairs graying
No stains on my shirt
Only shelter (only shelter)

This body has long weathered
Cellular storms
And still I wait
For winds of change
But when autumn fills my lungs
I'd still whisper your name
I'd still whisper your name

Hold me tonight
By morning
The light may be gone
And years may go by
But I'll see you again
And when you come to me
There'll be no flags waving
No papers to sign
Just surrender (just surrender)
