Recorded on 6/26/2021 at Roser Park Sun Shack, St. Petersburg, Florida.

lyrics

Album has been evolving since the March that stopped the world. No exception this song; expected reflections on a tour. 2020, (I-)10 with Trochee, till homecoming at Groundworks. Now holding hope for '22: Room gathered, spirit renewed?

Haunted by dread that live music cannot safely be what was. Eyes without face, the last dance passed? In which case, I would resolve:

Three decades of living a dream.
If no encore, there’s memories.

What’s tied for greatest love in life: Often obsession, unhealthy. Was doing fine, rebalancing; did not need virus for help. Scaled booking down to sweet, rare treats. Regained joy simply attending. Open mics freed me from promoting.

Looking back, did I reach my goals? Were times I counted friends not there. To towns returned with turnouts halved. Preserve that Belleville night’s wonder: Waiting to play, thought, “I made it.”

First show outside the southwest.
Had only voice, and a new tape.

Touring’s about friends, even if meet once then never see again. Gave me your time and smile, and hope inspired by “this you can do too.”

Found many long-time pals without living in the same city. Shelby, we had four years in row! Like food truck show, thank you Jesse!

Aaron! Saw first time ever played! Sad when we couldn’t meet in St. Louis. Tampa we keep missing, but hey…Closet Goth kickoff, Trunk Space, yay!

Yet not always do paths align.
One day only. “See you next time!(?)”

From now till end, all shows with friends will be reunions, legendary! Bigger in mind than any at giant stadium, long since crushed.

It's okay to cry for: our lost time, dear Andy, sweet Courtney. And how excited was to meet again: '04, Kirsten, Flash Gallery.

Got Blake Babies in my mind.
I’m so glad we’re still alive.
