Today I left Barcelona and came back. I'm specifically not saying back home because in all likelihood I'm gonna be moving again from here on Friday, back home, two weeks on transfer and then who-knows-where. Not that I was feeling particularly at home here in the residence where I spent the last month and a half, but after almost two months of running from one B&B to the next, it came as close to being a home as could be in this time of my life. It's peculiar, because in these last few days I spent in Barcelona I really felt at home, a local more than a tourist. Getting to the music: this song means the world to me, it's one of my overall favourite songs and the only one whose lyrics ever considered tattooing (the idea came back to me strongly today). Now more than ever I need and would love to have a place called home, both literally and metaphorically. I hope things are going to settle soon, in the meanwhile I'll keep on running around Veneto until the right time comes (which I hope is going to happen before the summer!!) and be waiting for the one day when there'll be a place for us. A place called home.
As usual, I didn't mean to post this today... until now! I think I got to listen to the Magentic Zeros while choosing which songs of Ellie Goulding's debut album, which I'm getting to know now, to put in my next playlist; one of them is called Home and, reminding me of this, one, brought me to start a random play at Up from below! Home was actually the last song just before Come in please (my absolute fav, which I already posted a few months ago, at the end of last year actually, check back the post clicking on the link!) and well... it seemed right to post it, given that it's the first song of theirs I fell for and still one of my favs!
