Come away with me
A lot of things have been getting on my nerves today, mostly related to the beauty of living in student's halls where all sorts of noises can stop you from working or reading or sleeping. So, for the past hour or less I've been trying to relax a bit, sitting by my window just as the last rays of light were fading. And you know what? I think this was probably the first time in my life I look up to the sky and find 5 airplanes flying at the same time in different directions. I got a bit emotional and started thinking I want to be on one going home. The musical background helped too, as Norah Jones was softly saying "Come away with me into the night, Come away with me and I will write you a song..". I also started thinking about all those people on those planes, each going to his or her destination, some starting a journey, some returning home, .. And throughout the rest of the album The Nearness of You I must have seen a dozen more planes. Finally, again:
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me
Well, back to reality, I should start thinking now of dinner and work.

Norah Jones. Very dangerous. I have a bit of a tendency not to like things everybody likes, and her music has been played in every public and private space in the country incessantly for the past few years, so you'd think we'd all be sick of it by now. But I can't dislike it no matter how hard I try ;-)
Yeh, isn't she just perfect?
