This might seem a little strange and not really about my adventures but it does have a point so hang in there. As most of you that know me know that I am totally obsessed with music in every form and you may or may not be aware that I chart the years with music. Not that I am a geek about it. I couldn’t go through and tell you what they all were but for example, my summers usually have a dominant song, something that I have heard a lot of, something that reminds me of a particularly special time, or a new band/singer that I have discovered and really like. I also listen to the music in the background on films and wonder why they have picked a particular song, incidentally I always wanted to have their job and still do. This trip has had many different songs attached to in by now but after seeing Newton Faulkner the other night and really getting into one of his songs over the past few weeks I realised that it says so much about what I am doing. I know it sounds stupid to people that don’t understand, but when you truly listen to the lyrics it gives a different dimension to the song.
‘If I had one chance to freeze time, to stand still and soak in everything, I choose right now
If I had one night where sunshine could break through and show you everything, I’d choose right now’
When I am looking out from the top of the Buddha on Lantau Island, walking round the markets in Bangkok, watching the sunset on the beach in Langkawi or Prevelly or Port Fairy, or just staring out at the landscape over the Blue Mountains these lyrics are pertinent and
Anyway enough of the education all I wanted to say was that the theme song from the trip is this one and I am trying to add the Youtube video so you can listen.
