I'm leaving for America in a couple of weeks, which was something I pretty much forgot about in the busy fury of semester and gigs and stuff, and now it's like hit me that we're going and we're gonna do all this cool stuff and I'm so excited I can't like sit down.
My life is changing in a strange way, but I think in the end the change is good. We're hurtling towards the end of semester, but for the first time ever I feel like I'm in control. I am a musician and I am an artist and I have chosen this life because I love it. I don't need a ~back-up plan~ because I will work until I am happy/I will be happy working, y'know. I was terrified of next year, without the cradle of this degree, but having thought logically about the whole thing I feel like I'm prepared to jump...
I have been going out a lot, which is good, because all my songs live there. I love the way Darvid raises his eyebrows at Lewis, tilting the neck of his guitar towards us during the set, trying to teach Lewis his guitar lines mid-gig. I love the way the bartender leans over our group to wordlessly hand me a candy necklace like something out of a dream. I love the way Kitty the gypsy glides into the room totally unaware of her ethereal presence and I love watching Justin's dread-head silhouette nodding along as I listen from the bar. I just overflow!
I have been listening to Kate Bush religiously recently, and her voice like a prayer floats around my crappy headphones while I ride the train. I can't stop listening to Hounds of Love - such vision! Such innovation! Srsly! I've linked the full album below, do yourself a favour and listen from start to finish...and thank me when you dream of sheep.
