I don't know if you're still looking at these comments, but I wanted to share a memory of mine that embodies how much your music means to me. . . . Two years ago, exactly, I was interviewing for a graduate school program at the University of Cincinnati. The interview went really well, so I returned to my AirBnB in OTR to wind down for the night. I had been listening to your music for a while, with Kyoto being the first song of yours I had ever heard. Since then, you were in constant rotation on my playlists. But this night was different. It was dark, but the city lights were bright and intoxicating. So, I put on my headphones, stepped out of the door, picked a direction, and just...walked. I walked past Holtman's Donut Shop and stopped to buy a couple donuts and chat with the ladies working the counter. I walked to The Eagle and had the best chicken sandwich I've ever had there, chatting it up with the bartender. I kept walking. Your music kept playing. I don't really know how to describe the wonder – the adventure – that your music brought to my life during that walk. It was magical. It was perfection. It was the soundtrack to a journey I had never been on, 2,300 miles from home. So, every time I listen to your music, I'm taken back to that night. Every time I listen to your music, I'm on the same adventure. I am so glad I found you. I can't thank you enough for the lifelong gift you gave me. - Nick
