Leave Them All BehindWednesday, August 30, 2006

I had a crappy journey to work and a crappy journey from work today. Dead trains at Warren Street, dead people at Clapham Junction - it all makes for transport chaos.

 

On the bus home, a small child in a pushchair kept alternating between kicking me and squealing an ear piercing squeal. I was tired, I was hungry and I have a lot on my little mind right now. I got off the bus, breathed a sigh of relief over being off the bus, pulled out my Ipod and waited for the traffic to move as I crossed the road.

 

It's now very early Autumn and I can see that we're on the turn. It's my favourite time of year - I'm so ready for long nights, long coats, long shadows long boots and long scarves. The sun was really low in the sky and it was lovely. I put my headphones in, pressed random play and Ride's Leave Them All Behind kicked in.

 

Sometimes, I think someone is directing a movie of my life, and just occasionally it all comes together perfectly - sound, vision, emotion, everything. The combination of that sun, that bassline and how I felt...it was amazing.

 

It lasted about 3 seconds of course, but I don't mind.

I'd appreciate it life had a rewind, pause or even a fast forward button.

All three would be cool obviously - but if I had to have one I'd choose rewind.
