Laura Brino — ‘Cactus Moon’ Original Song on Generational Healing
[01:38:37] Hey, guys. [01:38:39] Dr. Elliot, we’ve never met. [01:38:42] It’s nice to meet you. [01:38:43] You, what just happened on stage lives inside of my body. [01:38:47] It just, this is how I express myself. [01:38:51] But what was happening is what happens inside me. [01:38:54] You brought some tears to my eyes. [01:38:56] It was really . [01:38:58] Really beautiful. [01:38:59] So Dana, is she still here? [01:39:05] She’s in the vendor space. [01:39:06] So Dana and I together, came together [01:39:10] and started the Songbird Festival two years ago. [01:39:14] And she’s incredible and we bonded [01:39:19] over healing through music. [01:39:22] And I have two little girls and as a survivor and I also, [01:39:27] birth trauma survivor. [01:39:28] I almost died during the birth of my second daughter. [01:39:32] I feel moved to do things to help make the world a better place [01:39:37] for my two little girls that are coming up. [01:39:39] And in working on all of this for Songbird Festival, [01:39:44] in the end I realized that I was doing a lot of it [01:39:47] to actually help heal my mom. [01:39:50] Which then would heal my girls. [01:39:53] So this song is all about that. [01:39:56] So breaking that generational trauma. [01:39:57] Thank you. [01:39:57] It’s called Cactus Moon. [01:40:07] Half of a decade I blinked and I woke up right here. [01:40:20] Itched like a president, like a fine wine underneath the stairs. [01:40:27] Generations past [01:40:40] Making crisis last [01:40:45] Chance to heal my mother [01:40:52] I’ll carry on your name [01:40:55] Ancestors and the others [01:40:59] Cause we are all the same [01:41:02] Underneath this cactus moon [01:41:08] I, I will heal this hurt [01:41:13] For you [01:41:16] Half of my life [01:41:26] There’s stories you would show and tell [01:41:30] Wounded is their birthright [01:41:39] Surviving the patriarch as well [01:41:46] Generations lost [01:41:54] Apologetic claws [01:42:01] Chance to heal my mother [01:42:08] I’ll carry on your name [01:42:11] Ancestors and the others [01:42:15] Cause we are all the same [01:42:16] Underneath this cactus moon [01:42:23] I, I will heal this hurt [01:42:29] For you [01:42:32] For you [01:42:33] Baby’s lost, voices found [01:42:41] Brooms left bleeding on the ground [01:42:44] Sisters broken [01:42:46] Too much space. Daughters born. Brand new places. Bodies taken without consent. Bodies made over again and again. Lessons learned, then forgotten. [01:43:01] Wishes burned, but still we’re standing. Chance to heal my mother. I’ll carry on your name. Ancestors and the others. Cause we are all the same. [01:43:18] Chance to heal my mother. I’ll carry on your name. Ancestors and the others. Cause we are all the same. [01:43:31] I’ll carry on your name. Ancestors and the others. Cause we are all the same. Underneath this cactus moon. I, I will heal this hurt for you. [01:43:49] I’ll heal this hurt for you. I’ll heal this hurt for you. I’ll heal this hurt for you. I’ll heal this hurt for you. [01:44:00] I’ll heal this hurt for you. I’ll heal this hurt for you. I’ll heal this hurt for you. I’ll heal this hurt for you. I’ll heal this hurt for you. [01:44:01] For you, oh, a chance to heal my mother, I’ll carry on.
