Okay, so I've been MIA a bit.
..and that's probably the understatement of the (21st) century.
I'll update more later, I promise promise. Friends new and old coming into my life, and I'm determined not to push people away. Thank you to everyone who's been patient with me all along.
Suffice to say my mind is a beehive and I'm just about to kick it over with the NIN concert tonight. The good news/bad news is that Jane's Addiction is the "headliner" so the set will not be as long as a proper headlining gig, and they're on before JA. This is probably best as I know how draining it can be at a show when all the emotions and memories I associate with those songs get directly connected and travel directly though my body on the way to wherever they go in the cosmos. It always leaves me worn out.
This morning I've been listening to Cinematic Orchestra's Ma Fleur. The last track, To Build a Home is particularly rubbing me the right way today. Long, smooth strokes that make me purr.
"To Build a Home"
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time
To leave
And turn
To dust
I'm in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the colour of green
Ground had arose in past its knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
Held on as tightly as you held on me
Held on as tightly as you held on me
And I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time
To leave
And turn
To dust
