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.
