[Headphones please :D]
Some months ago, while watching Rick and Morty, I stumbled across this song that I found very sweet and airy. I put it on my fav song playlist right away, and eventually decided to arrange it into a drum-voice cover.
I was just finishing Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now, and oddly enough, the lyrics were matching the teachings of this book, which was naturally influencing my mood while trying to inject these teachings into my living experience.
I realized that the past is only memories, meaning very limited elements of our experience, that we rely on to build the story/reality of our own character.
We love to constantly tell ourselves stories. We will more or less consciously choose some memories to the detriment of other memories, to build a specific story and make its walls so solid that we sometimes lock ourselves into it. Yet, between what really happened from the larger perspective, and what we retain from it as a reality through our perception and interpretation, the gap is huge. Memories are just a tiny capture of a perspective and sensation we had of a moment that doesn't exist any more.
We create a voice from these memories (talking about the unpleasant ones), that will be here, constantly reminding us of these past events with guilt, shame or other nice feelings. And this will bleed onto our behaviours and feelings in the present, while this belongs to a version of us that is long gone.
Time to become conscious of this obsolete mental voice and replace it with our own, watchful loving one, and become ourselves without limitations.

I know you tried, I know you tried your best
And now it's time to put this all to rest
Minutes pass and those days seem long ago
A distant voice, one that I used to know
There's a voice and it's trying to drag me down, down
If you go then I'm going with you now
Don't look back, nothing left to see
Just leave the shadows in the past
If I let it go, can I shake this feeling?
Just like that, tomorrow's one day that I'm never getting back
I can feel you though, wake me from this dreaming
Flip the switch, you're keeping me in the dark
My vision's clear, I see you left a mark
I'm the voice and I won't let you drag me down, down
If you go, I'm not going with you now
Don't look back, nothing left to see
Just leave the shadows in the past
If I let it go, can I shake this feeling?
Just like that, tomorrow's one day that I'm never getting back
I can feel you though, wake me from this dreaming
Wake me from this dreaming
