Basil of Baker Street!
FINALLY rewatched this after years of waiting.
Little Olivia screaming "daddy, where are you?" at the start = heartbreakingly adorable.

Swimming in Jewels

no matter how badly you have been hurt.
no matter how deep a friend. how deep a love. you lose.
you truly never lose anything at all.
in honest love, every moment is a treasure.
you are constantly swimming in jewels
even when they lose their shine.
even when it is time to give them away.
a piece of you remains on them.
your tiny fingerprint on their face.
and when they look at it. they will see you.
and smile.
and that is all you need.
this is how you win. by touching others lives.
others hearts. others faces.
and then letting them glow on their own.
or between another's palms. when the time is right.
and when this time comes, you will be ready.
and you will still be living.
and you will still be capable of loving and being loved.
and then a gem will surface. maybe after some digging.
maybe right behind the veil of dust.
and you will smile. because this is all you need.
and you have won.

If you put your ear to the street,

you can hear the rumble of the world in motion;
people going to and from work, to school, to the grocery store.
You may even hear the whisper of their living rooms
their conversation, their complaints
and if you're lucky, their laughter.
If you're almost anywhere in America
you'll hear something different
something special, something you recognize
but haven't heard in a long time.
It is the sound of a real celebration
It is not New Year's
and it is not a political convention.
It is neither a prime time game-show
nor a music video countdown
bloated with fame and sponsorship.
What you are hearing is the love for a music.
It is the unbridled outcry of support for a song
that sings to the heart, that dances with the soul.
The jubilation is in the theaters
the bars, the music clubs, the festivals.
The love is for a band.
The songs are honest:
just chords with real voices singing real melodies.
But, the heart and the energy with which they are sung
is really why people are talking
and why so many sing along.
They are a reality in a world of entertainment
built with smoke and mirrors
and when they play
the common man can break the mirrors
and blow the smoke away
so that all that's left behind is
the unwavering beauty of the songs.
That's the commotion
that's the celebration,
and wherever The Avett Brothers are tonight
that's what you'll find.
