about

At the age of just 22
I discovered my calling
Watching streets as they come alive
At 5 or 6 in the morning
You can really define a town
By the first light of day
Like a face before the paint goes on
Shadows carved out of grey

I'd been given a tape machine
It lived here in my satchel
I'd sneak it out to a cheap cafe
I'd hide it under the table
From Nagasaki to old Soho
Greetings cast on the rise
Voice hewn in the analogue
And there I severed my ties

In Jeddah I taped the prayer call
In Porto, Christ on the breeze
In Singapore, well I caught them all
Floating in from the seas

From a Tokyo window ledge
I heard the morning begin
Same way it does every day
From Tokyo to old Medellín
"Won't you please take good care of yourself?"
Then, without words, understand
"Because I love every part of you
Because you're all that I am"
