On my song, “Hold You for a While,” I wanted to express the need for physical embrace in order for healing. I did a plant medicine ceremony a while ago, and near the end of it one of the participants went around embracing everyone. Being in that state where I was so much more aware of my body's reactions, I realized the power of that human contact in stillness. Everything has been seeming so complicated and unwieldy recently so I wanted to make something with a piece of that stillness inside.
lyrics
And we’re drowning in bullshit
They’ve got studies that show
It’s an argument
You can make if you know
And we all get down sometimes
All this air we gotta breathe
I’m holding on so tight
What the hell is wrong with me
Can I hold you for a while
Can I hold you for a while
Can I try to ease your mind
Can I hold you for a while
Caught in liminality
Never quite where you belong
You’re losing all your memories
In the space that we’re made of
And it’s all so slow moving
But too fast to catch a hold
And I’m so tired of wondering
How it’s gonna go wrong
Can I hold you for a while
Can I hold you for a while
Can I try to ease your mind
Can I hold you for a while
