August 16, 2010: Kathleen Edwards - Away

Kathleen Edwards - Away: youtube.com/watch?v=ILNtnopw1mc

I've been away a couple days, my apologies.

I used to play this song with Rachael. She sang it with my brother Colin better. I used to have a recording of them playing it somewhere but it's been lost in the years.

Sometimes the city makes isolation strong. There are so many I've met here, so many I consider close, but when it comes to it, who is truly there? We're all born alone and die alone, whoever we love will be lost whether we want them or no. Their faces get blurred in time. I grew up in a small town where nothing changes, time is irrelevant and you never think the people around you will be gone. It's the nature of a small community. Large cities are quite different in that you never have a grasp of time, it's always just out of reach. Your loved ones come and go daily. Relationships are light by most. When you need someone it seems crippling, despite the fact that you're surround by a million.

And I've been working a lot, changing near every aspect of my environment. These are more difficult times than so far this year.

My apologies for being away.
