A pub advert for the event "Steve Reich in the afternoon"

In my head, it's still 'latecks'
Me learning a piece, losing beats everywhere, brain twists on my fingers. Sad place. Confused.
Me improvising, oh who played that ill copy that, has someone changed the chords, ugh I'm bored of this quiet let's go loud, not thinking about fingers. Happy place. Still confused.
