26/14 - There's a Highway That Is Curling Up Like Smoke Above His Shoulder

The week I left Glasgow after five years of calling it my home.

Marissa Nadler - Firecrackers

Leonard Cohen - The Stranger Song

The ultimate leaving song of all time.

John Jacob Niles - I'm Goin' Away

Bought the Boone-Tolliver Recordings the other week. A splendid investment.

Stuart A. Staples ft. Lhasa - That Leaving Feeling

We all have dreams of leaving
We all wanna make a new start
Go and pack a little suitcase
With the pieces of our hearts
All those worries and those sorrows
We can just dust them away
Buy a coffee and a paper
And go step on to a train

Nkosi Sikelel'i Afrika

This wonderful homely tune has been the national anthem of no less than five african countries (currently three)! I really wanted to include this Namibian version, but any children's choir will do.


Ok... the bridge or some place later, eh?
