Hallelujah/Like Water
Brandon Victor Dixon
5:00Are you teaching me how to play piano right now? In the face of great resistance, yes Okay, so, so what do I do? Do I just? You stop talking, and you play these notes And then you move your fingers here Not your head, just your fingers And you play these notes Good That's it? You're talking again Play these notes Then you play these notes Then you play these notes Then you play these notes And you play them again and again Until I tell you to stop We begin at the beginning We master the basics Over time, these basics lead to something more complex Whoa Then you play these notes And you play these notes Then you play these notes And you play these notes And from these basics, the melody can evolve Ooh And I don't even know what "the melody can evolve" means But shoot, I feel the melody evolve And you play these notes And you play these notes And she shifts again And I feel tradition and culture And for the first time, maybe ever, I feel like Like I'm a part of something bigger than me I feel like I make sense And you know, I'm not doing half of what she's doing but Without what I'm doing, this song wouldn't be this song
