It was written by her bandmate and guitarist, Kevin Breit. The song tells the fictional, raw story of a woman stranded on the outskirts of town in a broken-down car with a sleeping baby in the backseat. A little girl named Theresa. Her mother is overwhelmed and desperate, the broken-down car symbolic of her spiritual exhaustion and perception of total defeat. She doesn’t know who to turn to and so begins pleading for forgiveness from both a higher power and an ex-partner, feeling that she must have done something terribly wrong to have landed in such a painful rock bottom. It is ego death carried by a haunting rhythm generated by a pump organ and Norah’s gentle, lilting voice balancing the heaviness of the subject matter with a sound that guides its listener into vicarious surrender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695a9af6a882a50e2d311044/982ea619-2f68-4127-90d9-00e3b88d957c/Screenshot+2026-05-26+at+7.46.36%E2%80%AFPM.png Reflections - Processing Change: What Happens to Baby Theresa When She Grows Up? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695a9af6a882a50e2d311044/ef5362fb-ea7f-4a1d-8b61-e01e9ba77b69/Screenshot+2026-05-26+at+7.52.52%E2%80%AFPM.png Reflections - Processing Change: What Happens to Baby Theresa When She Grows Up? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/695a9af6a882a50e2d311044/01b06487-9b5b-42ea-ba07-419f45dc2d1d/tempImagev6tURt.jpg Reflections - Processing Change: What Happens to Baby Theresa When She Grows Up? - The first time I sang it, the emotional pain that surfaced was so intense I needed an entire bottle of wine to anaesthetise it. Equally, when I first shared it publicly, I was so overwhelmed by the honesty and vulnerability of it that I genuinely thought I was dying. But then I sang it over and over again. And gradually, the wound connected to the song lost its charge. The story integrated into my psyche, becoming a medicine, becoming a simple fact of life. Something that just is. With the space created by the release of that emotional charge, the real power of music and poetry became evident in their ability to make visible the invisible architecture shaping our lives. We commit the thoughts and feelings to the page repeatedly, rendering the pattern familiar.
