Carry The Light

This original piece of music is dedicated to the optimists - those people who see endless possibilities where others only see endless problems. The style is deliberately and unmistakably disco and is intended to bring joy both when playing and rehearsing. The title follows the same rhythm as the opening bass figure: [TRAG DAS LICHT]. The aim is to encourage players to approach more complex rhythms with confidence and to quickly achieve a sense of achievement. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to plan everything perfectly. But you do have to show up. Even when you're tired. Even when it sucks. Even when your confidence is hanging by a thread. Because it's not about getting it right every time - it's about trying again anyway. The effort you put in today is important, even if no one sees it. That's how change begins. Quietly. Steadily. Day by day So, take a breath. Feel everything. And keep going. You're doing better than you think. Carry the light!
