Vocalist and guitarist Kate Pillsbury shares that this track was born while she found herself moving through a crucial healing process as she learned to listen to herself, be gentle with herself and take actions to mitigate her problems. “‘Arcturus Beaming’ is about holding grief and gratitude simultaneously as I have stumbled forward through the pain. In an era when it’s justifiably easy for many of us to gravitate toward doom and gloom, 'Arcturus Beaming' is about holding strong to a radical imagining of a better future, and doing the work to cultivate that future, which I believe requires healing ourselves on an individual level so that we can be fortified in the work required to heal our communities.”

Lyrics:

I thank these walls, my hideaway
My sanctuary to worship the pain
I never thought I'd leave the cave
But I'm more curious than afraid

Stacking layers like sediment
Each one adding weight and compression
And I am tired of forming a cliff face inside of my chest now
My ribs ache from carrying it around

Craning my neck, I'm looking up
I'm grieving all that I gave up
Eyes focused on a pin of light
Arcturus beaming on a summer night

Do you wonder who's looking back?
Another life-form on some undiscovered planet
A mirror image of us here, but they're pointing up at our sun and
Asking themselves
What exists beyond, beyond, beyond, beyond?

This blinding light, this reckoning
There's more to life than suffering
But there's still time, it's not too late
Nothing will change until I change.
