Let Me Carry You Now

by Nina Vale

Two songs about carrying the people who carried you, and the doorway where old hurts finally let go.

Tracks

  1. 1. Let Me Carry You NowMama carried me up every set of stairs, so this is me finally returning the favor. I sang it close to the mic and held back on purpose.gospel soul, ballad soul4:02
  2. 2. Fifteen Winters, One Warm DoorwayA station door, fifteen winters, and two people older than they remember. It's tender and a little nostalgic, just like the moment itself.nostalgic soul, warm soul3:52

Liner notes

I wrote these two in the same week my mother started needing the stairs handled for her. The A-side is the promise, and the B-side is the reunion I keep imagining for everybody who's been apart too long. We cut them at night with just the rhythm section and two horns, and we left the room noise on.
