I start with Tension Interlude. I thought that it would be like starting a new version of myself. A different impression.

I've always seen myself as a pop star who, for lack of a better term, wasn't like the others. I was cool, mysterious, intriguing, and talented.

...

What I realize now, is that I was and have been a jerk. Womanizing and fantasizing. Money, women, cars. That's all I needed, or it was all that I thought I needed.

The pleasure was in my future though. Seeing the smiling faces of the families as I'm singing. This is what makes me feel whole. It's what gives me hope for myself. Maybe I can do better and be better. I have hope.

Hope.

Hope.

Hope.

Hope?

I saw a beautiful woman run into the kitchen. The greenest eyes and the style of a mom, but you know the cool kind.  It was Hope.

Why did she run? Does she hate the music?

Keep singing. I end Tension with a slow fade as the cheer from the crowd takes its place. The children and excited and happy. I'm doing one thing right. 

I play Seeing Stars, Faded Heart, and Overnight Sensation before I take a brief intermission.

Now to find Hope.
