I knew that one.

And we figured out

that we could laugh

at the same things,

and so she's... she's family.

And you've no other family?

Not... not anyone

close enough to count.

And Ryan got you

the job at Abundant?

Is this gonna be

a one-way street the whole way?

'Cause I feel like

I'm talking too much.

I like it.

I also like it.

You're with who?

You're with who?

I know, it's kind of crazy.

Yeah, pretty crazy.

We just made love to your song.

Oh. That's... special.

It was amazing,

and your song was amazing.

Say thank you.

It was a compliment.

Thank you.

Hey, Ryan, Ryan.

What are you doing?

I'm getting ready.

It's Jody's press junket tonight.

Jody... Sinclair?

Why are you working with her?

Oh...

I have my reasons.

Trust me.

I have my reasons.

. No, I really don't think so...

It feels good, man.

- I'm feeling it.

- Yes, I'm feeling it.

- It's like this that hippie hit.

- We've hit the nail on the head.

Kudos.

Not you.

Bam, we did good.

- Good job.

- Good job.

So, uh... so you...

you seeing anyone

at the moment, Ryan?

Can you stop breathing on me?

Thank you.

. Have spent many a night...

Oh, you're closed, sorry.

Oh, hi, Catherine.

You want some coffee?

Oh, no, no.

So what do you do?

Oh, I'm a singer

and a songwriter.

- I think.

- You think?

Yeah, well, I'll know

when I write something brilliant

and people listen to it.

"Brilliant."

Kind of overrated.

Yeah, I've actually been having

a really hard time writing.

And I'm just

not censoring myself,

and the thing that I really

like about your music

is your lyrics, how sly they are,

how smart they are,

just-the song is so much cooler

than whoever"; listening to it.

It's just totally...

um, it's totally uncensored.

Well, thank you.

That's sweet.

You know my dad used to listen

to your music all the time?

He'd sit out on the front porch

and play your album.

Yeah.

Well, we wrote some songs

together, your dad and I.

- You did?

- Yes, we did.

I knew there was a reason

I was looking for you.

Well, why don't you come by

one night after we close?

I'll give you some pointers,

help you with those lyrics.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

It's still here.

Hey, Mr. Harmon

is gonna kill you.

He'll leave it up eventually.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yes, he will.

So what happened the other night?

You left so fast.

Nothing.

I mean... nothing at all.

It was really nice.

Noah's, uh... very nice.

Apparently, he's boning

a Namibian model.

So he's that guy.

I just wanted you to know.

- Hmm.

- I'm just saying you should be careful.

A model?

Noted.

I've collected

Broken parts

Too many lovers

with empty hearts

'The only son

of a loveless war

Made my home

at any open door

Now this lonely world

that rises cold

Above my story

that remains untold

I pray the time would come

This heart

would find the sun

Oh

I was a runner man

A lost boy

Never had a plan

Then your love showed me

The other way

Now from you

I will never run away

No, I won't run away

Run away

Won't run away

I won't run away

From you. .

That sounds like him.

Thank you for playing that.

Oh, sure.

I had to go find it yesterday

after you left.

All right, let me see.

"Follow the River to Me."

- It's dumb.

- No, no, it's not dumb.

It's just maybe there's something,

you know, more poetic.

Mm-hmm.

I feel like I'm trying too hard.

- And working too hard.

- Is there such a thing?

In art, yeah.

It's a balance.

You definitely have

to put in the time,

but, you know, then you also

just have to let it flow.

You just have

to be easy with it.

Where would you follow

the river to?

Literally, to the sea.

Follow the river to the sea

Follow the river to the sea

And that's why you're a genius.

Why don't you perform anymore?

You know, if there's

any advice I can give you,

it's don't love anyone

who makes you hate your art.

I remember you

In fragments

of the past I knew

But lately, it escapes me

Reserves itself to the moments

I feel most alone

- When I play familiar tunes...

- There she is.

The prettiest voice

in Woodstock.

Walk me home?

I can see you in a song

I can hear you hum along

And I know every word, too

And I will find you

in the hills tonight

I will meet you

in the moonlight

You'll be here by my side

Take back all the tears

I cried

I am home, lam home now

I wish you could have known

The world I built

all on my own

All my triumphs,

my disasters

The lies that I've known

I'd have told you

could I have called you on the phone

And I will find you

in the hills tonight

I will meet you

in the moonlight

You want to feel like

you're floating?

You'll be here by my side

Take back

all those tears I cried

I am home, lam home. .

I fell asleep here once.

I just couldn't manage

to leave one night.

The barn used to be

my mother's.

I know.

Emily told me.

It's strange to own something

that used to be theirs.

I still feel guilty

about changing the drapes.

Like you'll get in trouble.

This is crazy 'cause it happened

so long ago for me,

but sometimes like it's where

they just went out to a party.

Or the whole day goes by

and I wonder why

my mother hasn't called.

I know, it's weird.

Sometimes more weird than sad.

My friends complain

about their parents,

how they yell at them

or they hate them

for being human and failing.

Yeah.

And they're just lucky.

Lucky ducks.

Turn down the bed sheets

In the spare room

To catch up on the life

That seems to stand still

She wakes to find

A souvenir

And glass cabinets

With fingerprints...

- Hello?

- Morning, Catherine?

- Who is this?

- It's Ron. How are you?

Oh... Ron, hi.

I'm not calling too early,

am I?

Yeah, no, it's not too early.

I listened to those tracks

that you told Ryan...

You did?

Well, no, I didn't ask Ryan

to do that, but...

No, but she sent us them.

Well, yeah,

you called me, though.

Well, I'm not a hustler.

No, that's okay, that's great.

- Like, how many songs?

- It's not a problem, is it?

Um...

- Yeah, I think I can do that.

- Brilliant.

- Um...

- By the 24th.

The 24th?

- That's...

- On the 24th.

That is in a week.

No, I think so.

I think, yeah, I can do that.

I think I can do that.

Oh, okay.

Yeah, that's...

thank you.

I will see you...

I will be there.

Okay. bye-

Okay.

Lam going to Abundant Records

on the 24th.

I have a 2:
00 in the studio.

What?

I don't even know what to say.

Oh, this is crazy.

They want me to prepare

all of my tracks.

I only have...

I have one good one so far.

Would you ever move back

to the city?

Yeah, I mean, for a record deal,

I would do anything.

You are a good luck charm,

Noah Bernstein.

They don't call me

the magic stick for nothing.

Oh, you did not say that.

Stay.

I can't.

I have to prepare

all these songs

and this week just became

really important...

Come on, I will cancel

my 12:
00 at the office,

make you breakfast.

Stay.

Fine... fine.

But you're here now!

. If I'm asleep...
