Leave What’s Heavy Behind: A Music Therapy Reflection

If you haven’t heard the song “Heavy” by Birdtalker, consider this your gentle nudge to go press play.

Are you feeling fearful, brother? Are you feeling fearful, sister? The only way to lose that fearful feeling, Replace it with love that’s healing…

There’s something beautifully grounding about this song.

We all hold onto things that weigh us down. Maybe it's an unspoken fear, a pressure to be perfect, or an emotion we've pushed aside for too long. And while we might get used to the weight, that doesn't mean we have to keep carrying it.

Heavy is a reminder that healing begins when we give ourselves permission to let go.

This is where music can become a tool for emotional check-in.

Let this song be your invitation to:

• Pause.

• Reflect.

• Ask yourself: What am I holding onto that feels too heavy right now?

• Then, gently begin to let go.

  
  

You don’t have to carry it all.
