There’s this phrase many musical artists often say on stage, “I see some familiar faces,” and a deeper meaning behind that line, around what an audience can mean to a performer, especially a long-time performer.

Lyrics About are ideas captured in original lyrics that are written for purposes beyond creating immediate polished art. I write original lyrics about ideas and share them in text, song drafts, pods, and talks, as well as work with artists, leaders, and everyone to use the power of the lyrics about approach.
