about

This song for me is about the natural opening and closing cycles of life. The betrayal of self when you get lost in the contraction, judge it and retreat into false refuges. What can bring ease during the contraction is connection to self, to others, to the natural world. The sharing of experience. When there is the resistance and judgement, we want to hold on only to the expansion, the opening, without honoring that the closing has its necessary place. We can get stuck in the holding so tightly. The end of the song is new acceptance of these cycles, and acknowledgement that the opening will come, the opening will go. Being gentle, and opening one's eyes to what is. The aching beauty in surrender.

-Andrea Tomasi 2016

lyrics

Well I've tried to hold on
Even when, the night was dawn
All for not, I am alone
Forsaken my own home

And so I learned to call out
Even when, my shadows doubt
What I got was no surprise
I saw birds first, then sunrise

So now I'll try to let you in
Even when, I've closed again.
Like a flower, I am too-
It means we'll open when day is new
