And so I sit with my coffee at my side, a bruised foot and sleep tousled hair. I’ve spent nearly 3 days in my jammies. Not venturing out to soak up the sun or be soaked by the rain. This is what I call the ‘end of tour’ days.
After every tour I squeeze myself tightly into a little cocoon, with only the bare necessities at hand. My jammies. My laptop. My iPhone. Scattered piles of take out menus. And many television series’ on DVD. (I’m midway though watching Pushing Daisies and Torchwood, and I’m about to start Season 2 of Veronica Mars).
4 days later…
Now, after being home just over a week, I find myself restless, but also surprisingly calm… needing to know what’s next, but not wanting to venture outside in the cool fresh air. This is my typical day 7. I’ve vegetated, planted roots and started to bloom. I’ve contemplated, watched, listened and told. I’ve regained my place in society, where ever that may be. I’m skeptical as to whether or not I actually fit into the so-called ‘normal’ world, but I welcome the possibility with arms wide open. Let’s see if a drifter can belong, I say…
But my ‘end of tour’ days (this time) are a little bit different.
There’ve been changes.
Now don’t get me wrong, I think change is good, but if you don’t embrace the possibility of change, then hearts can been torn. However, they sometimes, sometimes can be mended. Hemmed with time. Trimmed with patience. But a heart, like that old pair of your favorite jeans, can only be patched and repatched so many times. Eventually it wears thin in places. You can see right through it. And there’s no recovering what was once something that fit like a glove. Something that you never thought would go out of style. Something that you knew would go with everything.
Well… I guess the only option is looking for a suitable taylor who can work wonders with a needle and thread. Or a hot therapist.
I’m partial to knitting, myself.

I just heard you on Mountain Stage and had to immediately see what google could come up with. You have a new fan in Texas!
Hi there,
Congrats on your award!!
Just wanted to say how inspiring your music, words & voices are.. never fail to give me goosebumps, make me laugh (your lyrics when they’re meant to be funny, that is!!), and make me stop and take a breath in this busy life. Thank you!
Your tireless touring is our fortune - and so great that little old Switzerland usually gets a couple of dates.. Will you be here in spring too?
Thanks for the signed poster you gave to my husband in Twickenham, London, in autumn(I couldn’t make it to England & so I was the reason he was on the phone during the gig - live to Zug).
Thanks for a pretty damn good soundtrack to life! It doesn’t get much better in my eyes.
All the best,
Olivia
