about

I wrote "New Born" at a time when there were extremes of joy and happiness surrounding me. A dear relative of mine had died, the mother of a close friend of mine had died and at the same time, a couple I knew had their first baby. ⁠

I witnessed myself and people I care about feeling all these intense emotions, joy or pain of loss... and the fragility and delicacy of life felt very present to me.⁠

"New Born" was written about how the depth and simplicity of that love and how it transcends life and death, space and time. ⁠
⁠⁠
When we were recording my vocals for this track, Gustavo Odorico, pointed out to me that I had written the song from the perspective of a newborn baby. I hadn't noticed that I did that.⁠

I hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

Breathe in
Breathe me to life
New born
First day of lifetime
Blinded, guided by light
Sleeping, wakened to dying
Feel it all

Feed me, keep me alive
Soothe me, hold me in tightly
I've loved you all my life
No time-space can define it
You are all

Is this the end?
Or where I start?
Here to begin?
Or where I stop?

A heart is whole
A heart is warm
To breathe again
To breathe at all
