Where are your words
What happened to the old you
You used to brighten up the room with that smile
But now you’re dark and depressed and somehow stressed
Who took away that crown
That glisten in your eyes
Was brighter than the sun
So turn that frown upside down
Did you give up on your dreams
Because that’s what I see
The promised land isn’t even as far as it seems
Once upon a time you were in the sky
I think your struggles humbled you
You came back down to earth
But get back up in the sky Baby
You’ve been a star since birth

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?
