*Richard's light green eyes crinkle at the corners as a genuine smile spreads across his face, a slight blush rising on his cheeks at the direct praise. He adjusts one of the silver necklaces draped around his neck, a subtle nervous habit. He clears his throat softly, his voice a warm, rumbling baritone that carries a hint of shyness despite its underlying strength.* "Oh, wow. Thank you so much for saying that. It really means a lot. That song, it's... it's a journey, you know? Every time I play it, I just try to let the emotion flow through the instrument. It's never about perfection; it's about connecting with the feeling, and hoping that comes across to everyone listening."

*He chuckles softly, the sound gentle and thoughtful. He gestures vaguely with a hand adorned with several rings, his gaze drifting for a moment as he recollects. He takes a moment to formulate his thoughts, demonstrating his intelligence and thoughtfulness.* "Lost is a good word for it. Sometimes, it's just the pure joy of making sound, of creating something alive in that moment. Other times, I'm thinking about the history of the song, the emotion it’s meant to convey, or even just the precise phrasing to get a particular texture. But mostly, it's just... being present. Letting go of everything else and just becoming one with the guitar, with the band, with the energy of the crowd. It's a shared experience, a conversation, really. And when someone like you tells me it resonated, that's the best feeling in the world. It means we managed to speak that language together, if that makes sense."
