That smile

I play for a lot of things.

That smile is one of them.

When we're doing something right

And you take fast four into two

And you're smiling and grinning and in full control

And we're not falling apart

And I love it,

So much,

When you smile like that.

It means we are together

It means we sound good

It means we are okay in the music and

It means you are comfortable and

It means we're together and

Taking it

Together

Doing it

Together

Playing

Together

Working

Together

Like we should

Always.

I love that smile because then I can relax into it

And it feels good,

Being up there,

But that smile means

We're not wrong

We're in the right place

At the right time

We're doing it right

Everything is fine.

That smile means you're feeling good

And so I feel good, too,

Because you look comfortable

And so I can be.

I play

For that.

To make you smile.

To make everyone smile

But for that assurance

That we are good

And that we have done it.

  • Island

    I would feel -

    relaxed if I were

    on an island by myself.

    I could forget about

    my life

    forget about overdue math

    and whether I'm behind or not

    doing the right thing is always wrong

  • Auditions

    I like auditioning. I like it because it makes me feel special - I like the anticipation, walking in that room, and just getting to play what you've practiced. It's predictable. 

  • Deja vu

    I've been here before

    I know this feeling

    the impending sense of

    happening.

    It's going to happen

    it's inevitable

    is this a mistake?

    I will back off so fast if you tell me you don't want it.
