  • "Buenas noches damas y caballeros
    Estamos llenos de emoción que estén aquí con nosotros esta noche
    Acompáñenos mientras caminamos por el largo pasillo
    Y salimos por la puerta de la memoria y olvido
    Démosle la más cordial bienvenida al escenario
    At your most vivid nightmares
    Interpretando su más nueva composición
    Pageturners rag"

    "It felt good, it was very moving
    Some people cried more than others"

    "But then, you know, like the days after
    I couldn't sleep"

    "That died, they have died"
    "Either they died, or they aren't around
    Or they don't exist"

    "I was thinking about how you look tonight
    Ta-da, he's here"

    "I think about how much people need
    What they need right now to feel
    Like there's something to look forward to"

    "We have to hold on"

    "And drew pictures of the kids in front of it
    Over the years, but never did anything to it
    And, so the cool part of this
    Honestly, he said he liked red
    And so I always buy red roses at the Dundee florist
    'Cause they, if you buy two roses in there
    They're a little spendy, but they last like two weeks
    And they're pretty
    Um, so get this when we went back to Carrie
    And we always go by Matty's old house
    Um, and they had, you know the rose bush was gone
    Because they had done something, put some paneling up
    We go back, first time the house looks great
    And they sell it
    The next time we go back we drive by
    The rose bush is growing in the same spot again" Writer/s: Conor Oberst, Nathaniel Walcott
