Story
In the wake of my separation and then divorce, I felt that I needed to finally do some deep work that I’d long been putting off. It was finally time to address “My redacted memories tucked in my body.” This song came as an encouraging message to fearlessly go all the way into that process—and to come out the other side transformed; lighter. The band and singers infused the song with so much hope and a sense of triumph.

Time gives an opportunity
Reveals my deepest wounds and needs
Oh my redacted memories
Tucked in my body
Tried to outrun them, moving fast
Those buried treasures from my past
Dying in the shadow cast
As my spirit asks [me to]
Go deeper…
So tired of doing what I’ve done
My cynical mind forgets the fun
I pushed away the only one
Who knows where I come from
[So I’ll]
Go deeper…
An infant cries inside a boy
That boy trembles deep inside a man
That man gets lost in
Busy-work and plans as time ticks
Yeah, time ticks
Go deeper…
