Ray McBreen (Lyriq Bent) Haven 1x3 Harmony (2010)
Nathan Wuornos: Why pianos?
Ray McBreen: She liked to compose on them. Said they felt right.
Nathan: Ray?
Ray: I don’t want to talk about it.
Nathan: Ray, talk to me.
Ray: Lilly- Lilly loves writing music. One day, a music exec heard one of her songs. Said if she could write another, we had a big contract. She wanted it- she wanted it perfect. I did too. I talked her into driving up to her favorite composing place. We were so excited, I got distracted and drove off the road into the Penobscot River. I barely made it out alive.Took me another eight minutes to get her out. Well, they said that if the water wasn’t so cold, she would have been brain-dead. Instead she’s…
Nathan: Like she is.
Ray: Because of me.

Nathan: When did it all start?
Ray: I don’t know. I stopped playing everything when Lilly got sick. Didn’t have it in me. Freddy was the first time I played in forever. Didn’t used to be that way.
Audrey Parker: So is that your grandfather’s boat?
Ray: Yeah. He came here on it. You know, he always told me to stay away from music. I think- I think he knew. I just thought he hated rock and roll.
