And just when I think I’ve worked it out, these pieces move and I’m back to the start
I love the sound of no one coming by
And memories that were, now are gone
Trust needs to be reevaluated while our aging promises turn to plights
I’ve chosen to embrace all the things that I cannot change
The thirst for the unknown goads me to leave
I’d guess they would say we could set this world ablaze
I take more comfort in the idea that one day my eyes will cease to see what’s right there in front of me
But I am just a broken man, whose soul cries out to understand
This form of life is not the only one
And lead him down, if you can grasp him, Upon your own abysmal course - And stand abashed when you have to attest; A good man in his darkling aspiration remembers the right road throughout his quest.
You must remember that there is nothing higher and stronger and more wholesome and good for life in the future than some good memory…
Singers and Musicians are some of the most driven, courageous people on the face of the earth. They deal with more day-to-day rejection in one year than most people do in a lifetime. Every day, musicians and singers face the financial challenge of living a freelance lifestyle, the disrespect of people who think they should get real jobs, and their own fear that they’ll never work again. Every day, they have to ignore the possibility that the vision they have dedicated their lives to is a pipe dream. With every role, they stretch themselves, emotionally and physically, risking criticism and judgment. With every passing year, many of them watch as the other people their age achieve the predictable milestones of normal life - the car, the family, the house, the nest egg. Why? Because musicians and singers are willing to give their entire lives to a moment - to that line, that laugh, that gesture, or that interpretation that will stir the audience’s soul. Singers and Musicians are beings who have tasted life’s nectar in that crystal moment when they poured out their creative spirit and touched another’s heart. In that instant, they were as close to magic, God, and perfection as anyone could ever be. And in their own hearts, they know that to dedicate oneself to that moment is worth a thousand lifetimes
Brothers, love is a teacher; but one must know how to acquire it, for it is hard to acquire, it is dearly bought, it is won slowly by long labor. For we must love not only occasionally, for a moment, but forever. Everyone can love occasionally, even the wicked can.
I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, ‘I exist.’ In thousands of agonies - I exist.
