Song One Page #2

Can I, uh... Can I see it?

Yeah, sure.

Check this sweet thing out here.

Hmm.

So, um...

What's your deal?

Uh, I, um...

I, um... yeah, I put out

an album five years ago,

bought me indie fame

and sort of fortune.

I'm a Libra.

Go on.

Okay, um, I...

I live in a cabin in Maine.

It's where I normally am when

I'm trying to be creative.

I haven't really been able

to write much of anything

since the last album, though.

Last time, I mean with the album,

it was easy.

I just got in my car and drove.

Me and Tessa, my ex-girlfriend.

I mean, well, we...

Yeah, we broke up about a year ago.

We were together a long time.

She found someone else.

Sorry.

It's all right.

What about you?

I'm getting my PhD in anthropology.

Nomadic tribes in

morocco are my specialty.

It must be a lot of work getting a PhD.

I get to ask a lot of questions,

and I listen to people.

It's a lot of reading.

I've been reading Henry's journal.

His... reading his

most private thoughts.

I...

I've been going to places he went to.

I've started recording

sounds he might recognize.

It's just really messed up.

You're his sister. I get it.

We had a fight,

like, our first real

adult fight, you know?

He, um...

He dropped out of

college to be a musician.

I said I thought that he

was making a huge mistake.

I said so many awful things.

We haven't talked in six months.

He sent me all these

links to videos he'd made,

songs he'd recorded, and...

I didn't open a single one.

I'm sorry. I...

- Hey, it's...

It's all right.

I can't even imagine.

You're James forester, right?

Yeah.

Will you sign my iPod?

Sure.

Thank you. I love your music.

Thanks.

I don't speak Portuguese,

and so this isn't gonna be pretty,

but I am the last guy of the night,

so here you go.

How long are you here for?

Two more shows in new York,

a wedding.

Who's getting married?

I don't know them.

I'm the entertainment.

Ah.

I never would have pegged

you for a wedding singer.

10,000. Three songs.

That's not bad.

I'm not proud of it.

Last show's in Philadelphia,

and then that it.

I'm going back home.

I'm actually kind of

freaked out right now.

They're trying to get me to go

and record in Berlin after this,

but the truth is, I'm just stuck.

What happens if you don't write

any more songs?

I'm not really sure.

You know, the best

thing about playing...

You know when you have a feeling

and you don't want to fade away,

but you don't really

know how to keep it?

Well, that feeling

comes back when I play,

like I can keep it.

No... no talking,

no disappointing anyone

for three to five whole minutes.

You should try playing longer songs.

Yeah, I should.

Why don't you try to choose something
