Creative energy. The shine in her iris. Cold streets. Lyric, Legacy, and Emeric exploring life. Flight and hotel packages. Lush soundscapes. Speech in dim lights. Freeway soundwalls. Friday, Saturday, and Sundays. The smell of freshly printed flyers. Putting a smile on your face. Bird songs. Knowing we’re victorious. Getting 8 hours of sleep. Unearthing fresh ideas. Being at a show with your hands up. The rattle of a paint can. Negative energy. Lofts. Breaking the cycle. Midnight. Waiting for the paint to dry. The journey and not the destination. Effort. Knowing v4 has been delivered.
