About the episode

Our seasonlong analysis of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers continues with its eighth track, “We Cry Together.” We interpret the song as a representation of Eckhart Tolle’s concept of the pain-body, an energy field within the body composed of accumulated, unconfronted trauma and pain.
