Concert crowd http://barnimages.com/
It was a summer of melody.
You taught me
how to appreciate the lyrics,
how to understand
the musician’s meaning.
You made sure I knew
about all the best concerts,
and you renewed my fire
for live shows and crowded venues.
You showed me
how to make music,
how to write songs
that your band would sing.
You introduced me
to artists I’d never heard of before,
and I loved each one of them.
Now, we aren’t together,
but every time I listen
to those songs
or find something new on my own,
I think of you and that summer.
