    LYRICS:
    On the night that we met, you said that you wanted something more from me
    And it was all that I could do. I remember your face, like a child, the way
    That you blushed and the way that you smiled
    And now it’s all that I can do. And I wake up feeling new
    There’s so much more I never knew
    So I think of all the years spent alone, it’s like you’re searching for something to
    Make you feel whole. Like you’re half of something else
    Just a fraction of yourself
    Don’t take it so hard. We did what we could. There were no easy answers to be understood
    It was all that we could do. We’re the only ones who knew. And all I think about is you
    The way that you screamed
    The way that you cried
    The way that you’d wipe your eyes and fall against my side
    The way that you told me I was wrong
    And the way that you’d sing when you’d hear a song
    And the way that you answered when you knew I was gone
    Now I know that I’m blind and that you’re all I see and yeah I know it’s not clever
    But I just want you with me
    I’m only half of something else

I'd just put on my headphones and I felt seen, like someone understood the burden I carry, the weight of my thoughts. I feel safe when listening to the airborne toxic event. And on the off chance they see this, PLEASE COME TO MIAMI ITS ON MY BUCKET LIST TO SEE U LIVE! Please

      How are you… doing these days… I am on almost 18 years without mine… it never gets easier. Never. I’m not sure if you still look at your notifications, but if you happen to have them on… I send you love and he’s probably standing right by your side and you simply keep moving not knowing he is there.

    These just keep getting better, and better, and better - how do you manage to keep improving on perfection? I love the carousel and what the Calder Quartet adds to the sound; their strings fit in and enhance the music so nicely. And just how small is that piano? Then there is the respect for Anna managing to avoid falling over backward, and Mikel's insanely charismatic smile and that look over his shoulder as if to say "what ARE you doing back there?" Brilliant, yet again!
