As If By Magic

There is a song on the La Roux album called As If by Magic. I listen to it all the time, in fact the entire album is amazing and if it's possible to put a permanent groove in an Ipod by over-listening to something, I've done it with this album.* The lyrics go like this:

And although you're the only home I know
As if by magic, thoughts of you are gone
And now I'm keeping my head in the clouds
And it's not so tragic, if I don't look down

I relate this song to the way I feel about leaving Vancouver, obviously. It really is the only home I know because I haven't been working in Victoria until now. When I got this job I honestly felt like Victoria reached out even more to me, and I'm starting to arrive in my new home.

Sometimes it is like magic and I don't think about Vancouver at all, and sometimes I still miss it like crazy.


*The best part of the entire album is 31 seconds into Fascination. I'm pretty sure Rawbean will be the only one who will bother to check this out and possibly even agree with me? heh heh....
