Didascalia

Out now!! 🎥 “Mercy” by @domino_kirke_badgley // I’m still blown away by this achingly beautiful work of art coming at the close of #PregancyAndInfantLossAwareness month… She says it best: :: “After the procedure, I reached for the woman's hand sitting next to me in the recovery room. We both lost babies around the same time. She was surprised when she felt my touch, but she didn’t let go. I told her we would be ok. We would try again when we felt ready, as though she and I were going to try and conceive. This song was fueled by the hum of hormones still flooding my body, written while I was still bleeding. Written while I was still longing. I wrote this so I could attempt to push the evidence out of me. Evidence that couldn’t leave fast enough. This song is me going head to head with the science proving that our babies' cells migrate into our bloodstream even if we do not carry to term. After many years of witnessing souls jump in and out of bodies, I wasn’t as prepared as I thought for this soul to linger the way it did. Her name was ‘Mercy.’ Thank you, Mercy, for showing me how to stay put and wait for the gems.” … Video by artist & animator Nalani Williams ( @nalanimation ) // “Mercy”produced & engineered by @eliotkrimsky /// mixed & mastered by @mixedbyrachel .. ..
