- Tommy Prine: How's it going, Mile o'?
Doing all right?
It's my first time in Appleton.
That is how you pronounce it, right?
- Audience: Yeah! - All right, cool, let's go.
But thank you all so much for coming out today.
It's kinda hard to describe the feeling
when I come to a city for the first time
and I walk out into a room of just a whole bunch
of beautiful people that decided to come and hear my songs,
so I really appreciate you guys
for spending the time with me today.
Thank you.

? Well, I never doubted the colors she chose ?
? A gallon of red, grab a couple of those ?
? And maybe some blue
? Then we'll call it a night
? Whatever is clever or better than white ?
? And she colors my life
? When I can't decide
? Or I'm running in circles
? And I used to just hide
? In the absence of light
? 'Til she gave me purple paint ?
? There's no way around it
? It's all gotta go
? Start staining the ceiling
? Don't inhale the smoke
? Let's have some fun with it
? Let's have a drink
? If you can't reach the corner ?
? Just stand on the sink
? And she colors my life
? When I can't decide
? Or I'm running in circles
? And I used to just hide
? In the absence of light
? 'Til she gave me purple paint ?
[gentle acoustic guitar music]
? Well, I never doubted the colors she chose ?
? Colors so close that they might touch my nose ?
? And never's a long time to not see the light ?
? And never say never
? I love you, good night
? She colors my life
? When I can't decide
? Or I'm running in circles
? And I used to just hide
? In the absence of light
? 'Til she gave me purple
? She colors my life
? When I can't decide
? Or I'm running in circles
? And I couldn't live right
? When my canvas was white
? And she gave me purple paint

Thank you.
I feel like I bring authenticity and honesty.
The crux of my job is to be as vulnerable
and as honest as I can be,
I didn't really know what I was, like, walking into,
but they've been turning away people
because it's been too packed at all of my sets so far.
So it's been, like, kind of, like, unreal in a way.
I'm like, "Whoa, like..."
I really feel the love here in Appleton,
so that that makes me really happy
and makes me want to come back.

["Mirror and a Kitchen Sink" by Tommy Prine]
[upbeat acoustic guitar music]
? Juliet and Romeo
? Didn't meet down at the rodeo ?
? I think there's something special ?
? About what you don't know
? Keep the world on their feet
? It seems to me that you know it all ?
? You learned it over beers with the Pope last fall ?
? And built yourself a castle with a big glass wall ?
? Everybody knows you're proud
? And I think that I'll win
? Every single argument
? But now it's you and me
? A mirror and a kitchen sink
? So what's the difference between you and me? ?
? I tell you right now, it's a couple teeth ?
? And then I decide whether to not or be ?
? Crueler than I already am
? So here we are again, my friend ?
? You beat around the bush and you build a fence ?
? Nobody knows what you really meant ?
? Not so sure that you do
? And it's true
? And I think that I'll win
? Every single argument
? But now it's you and me
? A mirror and a kitchen sink ?
[upbeat acoustic guitar music]
? So Romeo and Juliet
? Didn't kiss first then become friends ?
? There's always gotta be a middle and end ?
? No one's gotta know how it starts ?
? You say words that make you brave ?
? And then you realize that you share a brain ?
? Oh, here it goes right down the drain ?
? Faster than your eyes can see ?
? And it's me
? And I think that I'll win
? Every single argument
? But now it's you and me
? A mirror and a kitchen sink
