Jenny Bienemann and Chris Neville, "If One Person Loves You"

From the May 10, 2024 Haiku Milieu Concert at The Venue in Aurora, Illinois.


For the Haiku Milieu concerts, ‪@JennyBienemann‬ invites artists to choose one of her Haiku Milieu haiku and images, and write a song inspired by it.


Jenny and Chris wrote a song based on this haiku:

If you love someone
and that person loves you back
you have everything


The audience has a bird’s eye view of the process from inspiration to completed song. It is a great thrill to witness how one work of art gives rise to another, to contemplate how different works of art forged of the same initial impulse can be, and to witness the power of creativity to connect us with the world and each other.


The backing band includes John Abbey, Gerald Dowd, Ethan Adelsman, and Matthew Pittman.
