And, astonishingly, in dribs and drabs, the music comes. Sometimes the contour of a phrase occurs to him before he has a hint of what the words themselves will be; sometimes the words themselves call forth a cadence; sometimes the shade of a melody, having hovered for days on the edge of hearing, unfolds and blessedly reveals itself.

7:30pm melbourne. day 2. excited for the show tonite. killing hours walking around. starting to feel human. ”everything reminds me of you…” 

8:30pm I realize now I have walked the biggest fucking circle ever. I was trying to get to federation square (at least thats what I think its called) and after a fuck ton of turns in the wrong direction, using google maps on my phone and probably spending a fortune on data fee’s, I found it. oh, and its not the hour from the venue I walked. its 10 minutes. yep. find lord of the fries. find happiness again. creepy guy shows up. sits right next to me and harshs the vibe but it aint him I need to worry about. its birds. they show up. they want fries. I dont share. I fucking bail. weirdest part of my day. (I also thought I saw a face twice on this walk. I was wrong.) “I’ve just seen a face I can t forget the time or place and we’d just met”

10:30pm strike anywhere are so good. thomas writes lyric after lyric that I wish I wrote. “walk alone on the streets tonite and fear nothing…”

12:30am best set of the tour for us. the hi-fi was packed. everyone was beyond kind. the sound was righteous on stage. I didnt feel completely exhausted for the first time on this trip. thank you to the fine folks of melbourne who represented with a fervor.

1:00am lovely chat with an old friend. relatively positive news from my melbourne native friends that made the end of the night even better. I am hopeful to see some familiar faces tomorrow. that would be great.

1:10am the amazing activists the Sea Shepherds were in attendance for the show tonite. they invited us to come aboard the steve irwin for lunch tomorrow. sounds amazing. I am really hopeful it’ll happen.

1:30am the show. the walk. the anxiety of today. just kinda all caught up and hit me right now. I am fucking done. oi!
