Last night I had an insomniac moment and found myself unable to sleep until 5.30am. Had been feeling what I can only describe as numb and cloudy, which didn't really make a huge amount of sense until this morning when I went to church (arriving an hour late) and ended up hugely emotional and cried about 4 times. Think I've been storing up a lot of emotions this week as the end of my time here suddenly looms before me, and my list of things to do before I go gets longer and longer... And my sadness at leaving Viña rises to meet the longing I have to be back in London.
So here's some music to feel emotional to. Part one, missing England.
I love this Death Cab For Cutie track... I used to listen to it and pretend I had some American romance to whine about, and listen to the lyrics and play my own sort of cartoon-esque music video out in my head. But I realised last week that the tables have turned and I am now the one on the other side of the Atlantic. Pretty glad I didn't listen to this song in about January to be honest... This song used to make me feel emotional enough as it was, with my imaginary pining, let alone it being relevant.
This second one is a song I didn't previously know but I heard live with Phil and Samuel at Lollapalooza. The National are pretty rad, especially the latest album.
"You must be somewhere in London,
You must be loving your life in the rain..."
Brought me and Phil to a wet eyed trying not to actually cry state pretty much immediately.
Very excited to be home, but lots of adventures yet to come... Starting on Friday.
Will be back on the blog front from now on.
