Excerpts
Full video
Remember when you were the baby whale and I was the whale mother
A whole new Beautiful new world
Oversized T-shirt tucked into jeans
Slow Love
Remember when we were orphans lost in the woods
I feel most powerful riding a horse fast in the forest
Something must go on forever but nothing can go on forever
Remember when you were the baby whale and I was the whale and I was the whale mother
Remember when you told me Santa wasn’t real
Something must go on forever over orphans lost in the woods
