confessions of a gypsy

train in vain
on a train between west coast city gothenburg and stockholm. it's sunny sunday and spring can't wait to burst. the landscape we're riding through is starting to blush, colours rise from underneath the pale cadavers of winter. to a gypsy like myself, travelling like this makes a lot of sense. movement inspires me. there is something comforting in going from one place to another. some people set heavy roots and stay happily at one spot forever, others thrive from always being on the move. i belong to the second category. guess my lucky star put me in a touring band!

made an appearance at sweden's only folk and world music awards last night. the concert hall of gothenburg is a beautiful, massive 50's building. impressively architectured and easy to get lost in. about 1200 people attended and the evening was a hit. we played "shame & dance", a song from the upcoming album, "new friends". we extended it with a mystic banjo intro and squeezed out the last drop of energy in our six minutes in the spot light. well, that's just our idea of fun.

i'm in the very front of the train and i'm travelling backwards. my seat doesn't have a window. i have no one to chat with. i miss my sisters, who flew off to their homes. but i enjoy travelling alone. the ultimate freedom. if you ask me, that is.
