about
Sueño de French Press
2024
Found Family, they call it. I had a dream that Evan and I were
sitting around a table in the home of some of our dearest
friends. We were all drinking French Press coffee that our host,
David O Jones had made. The vibe was warm, lots of honey colored
wood, trees in silhouette moving in the breeze out the windows.
Laughter and stories intermingled with the steam of fresh
Yirgacheffe. Some of everyone’s kids were there. Everyone so
happy. That feeling when you are so comfortable because you are
with those that knew you when you were just newly in the adult
world. Those days. It seemed like we were all constantly
together back then, making music, seeing bands, art shows,
drinking coffee. Many of us had kids at the same time so it just
continued, but in a different way. We were there for each other
for the births (literally!), the sicknesses, and the many, many
celebrations. And then the kids got older, we moved into
different scenes, work got more serious, all that stuff.
Eventually, we moved a little farther away than when it was easy
to “just stop by”. I don’t see them like before, so I miss them,
and I have dreams I am at their houses. However, here’s the thing. I
never really got that idea of “they are in my heart” until now.
My heart had to be more open to feel them there. To feel how
they take care of my heart wherever they are, and I for them.
But then, I was thinking also that everyone is precious to
someone, even if to a spirit from generations back. I imagine a
stranger I see, maybe someone in uniform being precious. To
someone. Having a seat at a table. Somewhere. Even if in a
memory. Even if in a dream.
lyrics
All around the table
I dreamt of it
With our friends
With our friends
With our good friends
This moment in time
It comes with me
My heart is open
Carried by gentle winds
Carried by gentle winds
I stay with you
You and All
You and All
My namesake
My brother
My eloquence
Those soldiers?
That man?
You and All
You and All
My heart is open
My heart is open
All around this table
Con amigos
Dearest friends
Holding my heart
So carefully
So close
In the video
Next time
