"Ram Dass Interlude" is a song by Kesha from her fifth studio album, Gag Order. It serves as the eighth track, as well as one of two interludes off the record.
Background[]
According to an interview Kesha had with Rolling Stone on April 25, 2023, an ex gave her a copy of Ram Dass’ book “Be Here Now” while she was in rehab.[1]
In the first part of the interlude you can hear a repeated part of Ram Dass answering a question about how to love ourselves more[2]
Lyrics[]
“it’s garbage as art
Do you approve of me?
Do you like me?
Am I good enough?
Do you approve of me?
Do you like me?
Am I good enough?
Do you approve of me?
Do you like me?
Am I good enough?
Do you approve of me?
Do you like me?
Am I good enough?
Have I achieved enough?
Have I achieved enough?
Have I achieved enough?
Have I achieved enough?
And then there comes a period, where you’ve just gone through enough
And the space starts, that little blue sky starts to develop and you start to identify with the blue sky instead of the cloud, you flicker at first
And then you start to release
And often, in the release, there is a closing of the heart because you don’t want to get hurt again and you got to allow that, that’s still part of the grief reaction
And a lot of you are still holding on to the grief from previous hurts and then comes the time when you start to realize you’d rather be vulnerable and be hurt
Then be living dead”
