the girl with the sharp pointy thing

The band were busy describing themselves as the people who play music with the girl who plays the sharp pointy thing with famous people. They had hoped that this famousness by association might rub off and make them famous too, for playing music with the girl who also plays the sharp pointy thing with famous people. But the plan didn't work. They said they waited, sadly, back at home recording a cd that waited until she got home to add her voice and the beautiful sounds of the sharp pointy thing before it was finished. Meanwhile, she sat by herself in a hotel room, missing them and wishing she were playing with them instead of the famous people.

Sometimes, even for something you really want, the process of getting it is not worth the result. They're much happier just to have back the girl and her sharp pointy thing. Their playmate had returned. Watching them perform was like watching kids playing lego together. They exchanged lots of excited looks at each other when they created something cooler than they'd figured it would be. Look for delight on people's faces. It's such a beautiful thing.
