The Accidentals - Count the Rings (Official Video)

Count The Rings -
Have you ever seen a freshly cut tree? There are imperfect circle rings inside the trunk. One light ring and one dark ring represent one year of the tree's life. They are like a scar or story buried deep in the center of this living thing.
People have internal rings too - sometimes these rings are dark rings that hold us back from living life the way we want to live. Some rings are light rings that allow us to grow and become. Count the Rings is about recognizing the lies you tell yourself to stay within what's safe, and protecting what hurts you. Sometimes you have to set fire to your self-imposed limitations to experience a fully lived life.
We can choose. We are not limited to what we have learned or what we have experienced.
This is that year for us. Not holding back, not steppin' down, standing strong. Going to live it loud in 21'.
