I see you as a gift

12/2/24

“If I love you, what business is it of yours?”

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Signed loads of albums the other day (then dropped them all on the floor), then went to show my students (I teach whole class guitar) and said they could ask me questions about being in a band.

They asked,

“is the album finished?”

as I held it in my hands, and said,

“I’m really concerned about you”

“the song names are really morbid”

“does your band still exist?”

“why did you only make two albums in ten years?”

I love kids, man. No filter.

more iPhone notes, maybe the beginning of songs:

I can’t see anyone
this wide open 

I say they tied me up in grief,
but this is all within me 

lots of lyrics flowing:

I see you as a gift
and I’ll be loud, and exist,
Laura hums my songs 

live and let live,
hope we find a bridge,
the night is no longer long
