Moira Chicilo
Carry them with me
Moira Chicilo has a new song , Carry Them With Me, which has just been released. It comes from a very specific afternoon she spent in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, sitting with her cousin Jesse and the wider family. Everyone knew it was the last time they would all be together and knowing that fact, made every story, every photo, feel poignant than usual.
'Carry Them With Me', follows that moment closely, Jesse worked to keep those old memories alive, with a deep rooted determination that the details of past generations wouldn’t fade. Moira carries the weight of that responsibility in the lyrics, turning a private exchange into something others can connect with.

Musically it stays close to the ground. Acoustic fingerpicking runs through the track, with pedal steel guitar rising in and out, giving the song a kind of quiet pulse. Nothing gets in the way of the words.
Carry Them With Me is being released through World Peach Records. It is less about looking for closure and more about holding on, a reminder of what we take forward when people and places can’t come with us.
