Blurs, Slurs and Sad Songs Bring

~

By Rowan Finley Published about a year ago 1 min read
This is a clip from Tom Scudiero’s Looks Like Rain played at an open mic. I had the pleasure of getting to play violin with him.

Blurs, slurs and sad songs bring,

a ring to the air,

combating the calling chatter.

It matters most because we play with our souls,

attempting to hush the crowd.

It’s their loss,

as they miss the notes of lingering memories,

and wistful longing.

    I am definitely gritting my teeth on the quality, but I swear; the violin you played was so beautiful! I mean; piano, guitar, what else man? You're so talented 👏🙌 These notes definitely deserve attention.

    How incredibly talented you are, bro! ⭐✨ Your violin playing is absolutely beautiful! The tune was so lovely and sweet; I could almost hear people chatting in the background. They missed out on something special! But honestly, it was still amazing to hear you play. Keep it up! ✨🙌👏
