about

This song very well might be my salvation. It's not about me. I don't even open my self-righteous mouth (that's what this is for). It is short and unassuming. This song is about honoring something higher than myself, that transcends me. St. Cecilia is the patron saint of music, and both she and music are much more glorious than I could ever hope to be. On my wiser days, I remember all of the love in my life and the gratitude drives me to give my grandma a phone call. She appreciates it perhaps more than I have ever appreciated anything in my life. We often talk about (as she loves to say) the three things you should never talk about at a dinner party: sex, politics, and religion. A devote Catholic all her life, she often creates a space to have wonderful conversations about Christianity. I was raised vaguely Catholic but I fell away from the faith in my adolescence (a common trend I've noticed). But, as I continue to delve into my myriad inner conflicts, the more plausible it seems that aspiring to live as Christ did might actually be the only way out. So we were having a chat one day and she told me that St. Cecilia is the saint that she prayed to to watch over me. This inspired me to buy a beautiful little plaque with St. Cecilia on it. The frame is filled with angels playing instruments and the image itself seems to dance. On Cecilia's heart is a treble clef with a small melody printed on it. O was admiring the image one day and took notice of it. I decided to play it and that melody is the first 6 notes of this song. So I played that and simply let the Muse take care of the rest. I take no ownership over this song, it was a gift bestowed upon me. I am simply its humble vessel. May it bring you as much joy as it's brought me.
