[writing something every day] day 7: tourist
Added 2025-12-07 19:48:38 +0000 UTC
I'm in new york mostly being a tourist so of course that crept into the lyrics ! [ art imitates life ]
before we jump in, a quickfire round of some RECENT FAVES
to watch: Dijon 'HIGHER' on SNL. SO excellent. (how is he not too hot in that coat?)
to read: 'the invisible life of addie la rue'. I'm almost finished this. took me a while to really get into it but once I did, I was IN
to eat: mac & cheese with sage breadcrumbs. made this recently for friends - the crumb makes it vaguely wintery/festive. I added optional crispy bacon bits + had broccoli on the side [ health ]
I'm here in NYC! loooord I love it here. I'm here because a certain streaming company flew me out to be on a podcast & let me tell you it's not often (ever) anyone flies me out for work things so I jumped at the chance. it's a short trip with plenty of space for mooching about, romanticising my life in coffee shops, etc. I feel lucky
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewrote this idea with a croaky ass morning voice today on my friend regina's guitar!
feedback/thoughts/feelings welcome, as per
lyrics:
everything looks good
through the eyes of a tourist
walking round your neighbourhood
every tree is a forest
been almost a year now
since I told you how i felt
you couldnโt have been more sweet about it
youโre the fucking best
now youโve seen me way up close
seen me without all my clothes
do you like it?
wish that I could read your mind
your heart too
cause you have mine
do you like it?
see you tomorrow!
xoxoxo

So this song is mathematically approved! Love the emotions in this, for me it evokes feelings of wandering around with a ray of sunshine on your face. Have fun in NY! :)
