Warm lights illuminated the scenery of the interior while a small group of individuals played their own set of instruments on stage. I sat in my chair at one of the tables and enjoyed my time in the live music bar. I had my journal on the surface of the table that I always take with me to write lyrics to songs that I make in my free time. Even though I'm not a musician myself, I always found the poetic aspect of music quite fondly as it not only has meaning but touches the strings of hearts and soothes the soul. As the band finished their performance, the audience, including myself clapped for them for entertaining our night. I was finally finished writing one of the songs I created and set aside my pencil and was about to take a sip of my drink until my eyes looked up to see a woman carrying a guitar.

She was leaning against the wall and tuning her guitar and she looked up for a bit and we both made eye contact. She gave me a warm smile and I smiled back. Once the band had finally cleared all their stuff off the stage, the woman with the guitar made her way to the stage and grabbed one of the pedestals on stage and scooted close to the mic stand.

Aretha: hope you're all having a good night everyone! My name is Aretha Hayes, I'm an aspiring guitarist and I'm glad to be here tonight to perform a song I've been working on.

She then closed her eyes and her fingers gently touched the strings of her guitar before she was about to play her song. She started singing with the most harmonious voice I ever heard in my life. It was as if her voice was putting me in a trance from how good she was. My entire focus was on her and her performance as she managed to have the entire audience in awe. She soon finished her song and everyone clapped for her, including myself. Time had passed and it was getting close to midnight, so I took my last shot of liquor before leaving enough money and a tip and I soon made my way to exit out of the live music bar and onto the streets of the city that never sleeps.

The outside was astonishing as everything was illuminated in a multitude of different colors and the sounds of distant cars honking gave this city its unique ambience. It rained earlier which caused the air to give off the smell of petrichor and was pleasant enough to feel the coolness on my skin. I watched my breath become visible as I exhaled and breathed in the night air. I smiled to myself after taking in the environment.
