From the recording The Error of Forgetfulness
The Error of Forgetfulness
There are songs that comfort, songs that inspire, and, on rare occasions, songs that gently dissolve the deepest illusion we have ever believed. The Error of Forgetfulness is an expansive neo-folk, symphonic rock, Americana spiritual ballad that reminds us the spiritual journey has never been about finding God—it has always been about remembering that we have never been apart from the Holy.
Inspired by a message received from the Holy Mother on May 24, 2024, the song unfolds as a loving conversation between Divine Love and every searching heart. Rather than speaking of sin, abandonment, or distance from God, it offers a radically hopeful vision: separation is only a passing forgetfulness. Beneath every joy, every sorrow, every unanswered prayer, and every wandering path, the Holy Presence has remained faithfully alive within us, quietly waiting for what the Holy Mother calls "one shiny moment"—that sacred instant when the soul remembers what has always been true.
Beginning with intimate acoustic guitar and warm folk melodies, the music gradually blossoms into sweeping orchestral strings, soaring electric guitar, powerful percussion, and an uplifting choir. Each movement mirrors the awakening of the heart, carrying the listener from the quiet ache of searching into the triumphant realization that awakening is not something still to come—it has already been accomplished. We are simply remembering.
With echoes of Florence + The Machine, The Oh Hellos, Loreena McKennitt, and the cinematic grandeur of symphonic spiritual rock, The Error of Forgetfulness invites listeners into a profound experience of hope, healing, gratitude, and remembrance. It is a song for anyone who has ever wondered if they had wandered too far, prayed into silence, or questioned whether Love had forgotten them.
Its answer is beautifully simple.
You did not lose the Holy.
You only forgot.
And the Holy never forgot you.
Lyrics
The Error of Forgetfulness (You Have Already Awakened)
(Neo-Folk • Symphonic Rock • Americana Spiritual Ballad — Female Voice)
[Verse 1]
My beautiful children, come closer now,
I've never stopped calling your name.
Through every road your feet have walked,
I've loved you just the same.
You've wandered through a thousand dreams,
Searching skies above,
Yet every path beneath your feet
Has always been My love.
[Pre-Chorus]
There is only one small shadow,
Only one veil upon your eyes.
Not a wound that cannot heal,
Just forgotten sunrise.
[Chorus]
You did not lose Me.
You only forgot.
The Holy has never left your heart.
Every breath, every tear,
I've always been here.
You have already awakened, My child.
Remember who you are.
Remember who you are.
[Verse 2]
You searched in lonely wilderness,
In sorrow's silent night.
You named the distance "separation,"
While standing in My light.
Where could you ever run from Love?
Where could My Presence end?
Before your first remembered breath,
I called you child and friend.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbeat softly whispers,
Every living cell proclaims,
The Holy breathes within you still,
Calling out your name.
[Chorus]
You did not lose Me.
You only forgot.
The Holy has never left your heart.
Every breath, every tear,
I've always been here.
You have already awakened, My child.
Remember who you are.
Remember who you are.
[Bridge] (Orchestra rises, choir enters)
It takes only one shining moment,
One surrender to the Light.
One quiet breath of gratitude
To turn the dark to bright.
One heartbeat heard with wonder.
One tear that falls in grace.
One holy instant opening
To Love's eternal face.
[Verse 3]
Before the stars were scattered wide,
Before the rivers ran,
You rested in My endless heart
Before the world began.
Beyond the turning galaxies,
Beyond what time can see,
You've never left My loving arms—
You've always been with Me.
[Instrumental Lift]
(Acoustic guitar, fiddle, cello, soaring electric guitar, full orchestra and choir.)
[Final Chorus] (Key change)
You did not lose Me.
You only forgot.
The Holy has always filled your heart.
Every joy, every pain,
I've carried your name.
You have already awakened, My child.
The journey is remembering.
Remember the rivers.
Remember the mountains.
Remember the forests singing.
Remember the stars.
Remember each other.
Remember the One Love bringing
Every heart home...
[Outro] (Soft piano and strings)
So lift your voice with all creation.
Let every living soul belong.
The earth has never ceased remembering.
The heavens have never ceased their song.
Sing the return to Love.
Sing the remembrance of the One.
And when at last you enter the silence
Beneath the final note...
You will discover
I was singing
through your heart
all along.
