about

“Anam” is the Gaelic word for soul, and “Cara” for friend. It has ties to Celtic religion and spirituality and when I read about the concept during a time of big transition, I began to meditate on and see clearly the places that feel like home, and specifically the people that give me space to come home to myself. When we are truly given a space to be witnessed wholly and fully without pretense or judgment, the portals it opens up for healing are profound. This song is a reminder to me to root into those safe places where there is deep knowing & trust. It’s a chance to honor each Anam Cara I’ve encountered in this life and beyond.

lyrics

When it’s hard to breathe
You feel it
Time and space mean nothing
From where we sit

I don’t have to come to you clean
Cause we’re moonlit 
It’s impossible to forget that 
I know I will be seen 

By you
You give me all this room 
So I can tell myself the truth 
With you
I will never be alone
Cause i have a friend who feels like
Home

When it’s hard to see
You remind me
Deep down i believe
In the unseen 

I think there are reasons and rhymes 
For why we bleed
It’s unforgettable the space where I can sit and
just be me

By you
You give me all this room 
So I can tell myself the truth 
With you
I will never be alone
Cause i have a friend who feels like
Home
