When I was a child, on most Fridays, my dad, mom, brother and I would travel to Cape Cod to visit my grandparents. For my father, this drive would come after a long day of work, during which he had already commuted from our home, an hour outside of the city, to Boston, where he worked as an accountant, and back home again. He was an intense man, and during these drives to the Cape we were often silent, on edge – unsure how to interpret his sullen and grave demeanor.

After we arrived, my grandmother would typically begin playing a mix of classical music, folk songs and pop songs on her spinet piano – and I would watch my dad’s face transform: his jaw would slacken, while the lines between his eyebrows softened, lifting the intensity of thought that always seemed to burden him.

This was my first experience of the power of music.

Still Finding My Way by Greg Tamblyn

Sometimes I forget I need to dance
Spin around the floor like I got crazy pants
Letting myself go, getting in the flow
Don’t be cool, play the fool

Move into another state of mind
Going there not knowing where or what I’ll find
Look in someone’s eyes, dropping my disguise
Oh my, I realize

Chorus:
I’m still finding my way
A little further every day
Like that river in the song, rollin’ along
To the place where I belong
Still learning to love
Teaching this old heart to open up
Letting go what I don’t need, setting it free
‘Cause I know I’m where I need to be
Still finding my way

Sometimes I forget to just slow down
Walk outside and take a lazy look around
Listen to the wind, sunshine on my skin
Touch the earth, feel my worth

Turning back to you the one I love
Lookin’ back and laughing at the crazy stuff
We made our mistakes, fell right on our face
Goodness sakes, it’s no disgrace

I’m still finding our way
A little further every day
Like that river in the song, rollin’ along
To the place where we belong
Still learning to love
Teaching these old hearts to open up
Letting go what we don’t need, setting it free
‘Cause we know we’re where we need to be
Still finding my way
