Prayer for Loving Bass
I'm down to play nothing but my bass and I'm down to play nothing more.
It has been, it still is, resonating with me.
Why should I begrudge it, since during the hours
when my soul crushed the depths of my heart,
it was seated there beside me?
(1/3)
O my bass, you are better than a well-beloved:
because I know that on the day of my final performance,
you will be there, lying in my hands, O bass,
so that you might once again attempt to resonate with me.
(3/3)
