Bad Nights Lead To Better Days

I've Never Been To Vegas, But I've Gambled All My Life.

I Think That We Live In A Time Where It's Easier To Be Suspicious Of Dedicated Men And Women, People Dedicated To Their Craft, Because The World Around Them Inspires Them To Be Lazy. It Inspires Them To Be Negative. It Inspires Them To Be Snarky.

I Like The Idea That Within The Structure Of The Song, Some Kind Of Built-in Improvisation Keeps Them Fragile And In Their Moment, So That I'm Not Projecting So Much, So That My Perception Of The Song Doesn't Interfere With What Its Real Body Is. Sometimes It's Like Telling A Story That I Heard In Passing, And I Don't Want It To Become Completely Mine.

I No Longer Know The Author Of This Book, For Simply Stopping Long Enough And Writing It Down Was Where I Changed From A Boy With His Eyes Squeezed Shut To A Man With His Eyes Wide Open So That The Sunlight Might Reach My Heart Despite All That Darkness.

I Can Sort Of Will That Stuff To Happen To Me If I Put Myself In The Right Headspace. Then I Can Actually Get To A Space Where It Won't Just Be One Song That Comes Through, But A Series Of Them.
