Fresh Ingredients from Certain Memories by Assistant
Another song about the slipperiness of memory, this is a song about childhood and distance; and about Jil’s forgetting, her having a memory that “shivers, contracts like the blinking of an eye". It reflects on how intensely important the constituent parts of our recollections are – until they float away, turning from “fresh ingredients” into “dead ingredients.”

Lyrics
There’s a gap in my memory
a gap that shivers, contracts
like the blinking of an eye
It engulfs certain details at times
then spits them back out
fresh ingredients?
fresh ingredients.
ba da ba da daa daa daa
back home for christmas
a room kept perfect, that must be
another house
preserves certain memories or times
gathering dust
fresh ingedients?
dead ingredients
