Currently Playing: Schuyler Fisk - Hello.
My first week into my 3rd year, and already I’m bored.
Granted, it’s too early to start whining when the semester isn’t off to its typical full swing yet, but I dread to think ahead if this first week is anything of a premonition of what’s to come. Only 2 days ago, I had to massage my forehead to keep myself from falling asleep in one class that seemed to go on forever. I wanted to politely take my books and excuse myself before my head exploded, but everyone else seemed riveted to the lecture, so the problem was most obviously me.
To top it all off, I am missing my old room. My lovely, cosy, clean old room with enough walls to cover reminders with. I can’t even pray properly in my newly assigned room without bumping into my bed or table.
But enough. It doesn’t do any good to begin anything on such a negative attitude.

So. The Perishers. My first response to this Swedish indie band wasn’t exactly excitement. Widad’s introduction for them to me wasn’t bad; it was her song selection that was a bit off. After digging a little here and there however, I found some well-written tracks hidden away in obscurity.
The Journey Back
Train, heading to Edinburgh
June 2006
(Selected lines from ‘Sway’, by The Perishers)
It was you who picked
the pieces up
When I was a broken soul
And then glued me
back together
Returned to me what
others stole.I’ve always been a dreamer
I’ve had my head among
the clouds
Now that I’m coming down
Won’t you be my solid ground?You gathered my dreams in
When they all blew away
And then tricked them
back into me
You saved me I was
almost dead.
Well hey, it’s my mum’s birthday tomorrow. I need ideas. What do you get for someone whom you are always going to be forever indebted to?
Enough said here.
