Healing Music: Washing Away the Old Self

Cuban-French duo, Ibeyi

Music is healing to my soul. It is absolutely one of my favorite things. While I have my “go to” songs that ‘take me there,’ spiritually and emotionally, every now and then, I find a new gem that is equally as healing. One of those gems is by a new Cuban-French duo, Ibeyi. I heard about them over the summer, but I was recently reminded of why I fell in love with their music (Thanks to OkayAfrica for this week’s post about their upcoming world tour).

I wanted to share the song that has been on repeat all morning in our house. Click ‘play’ to listen and check out the lyrics below. Enjoy, and have a fabulous weekend!  Keep shining!

Ibeyi – River Lyrics

CHORUS:
Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again

Carry away my dead leaves
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Sink my pains and complaints
Let the river take them, river drown them
My ego and my blame
Let me baptize my soul with the help of your waters
Those old me’s, so ashamed
Let the river take them, river drown them

CHORUS:
Come to your river
I will come to your river
I will come to your river
Come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
(Wash my soul)
I will come to your river
Wash my soul again

About the Author: Kandace Jones

I used to live life shackled by fear, doubt, and worry. I put on a happy face while navigating my day-to-day duties, but I was emotionally drained, stressed, and unhappy. When I hit rock bottom, and was diagnosed with depression and anxiety, I was determined to live life differently. I knew there had to be another way. Out of that determination, and guidance from Spirit, the "Living in the Light" blog was born. It documents my spiritual journey out of the darkness and into the Light. After nine months of publicly sharing my journey, and consciously releasing my attachment to the ego, I experienced a powerful spiritual awakening. I went from living in fear, doubt, worry, and stress to complete inner peace. My greatest passion has become assisting others on their own journey to inner peace. My spiritual memoir, From Stress to Peace: An Intimate Journal on the Journey from Living in Darkness to Living in the Light, is available now on Amazon and BN.com. Click the tabs at the top of the page to learn more about the From Stress to Peace 21-Day Challenge, Living in the Light Retreats, 1:1 sessions, and the Living in the Light Community - all of which are designed to support your journey to inner peace. I appreciate you taking the time to visit the blog and look forward to supporting you in any way I can!
