And he's right. It's been a pretty tough (more like relentless) year but six months later, I'm getting through it. Lost the plot a few times but the one thing that did save me have been the awe-inspiring acoustic-gospel-strings versions of Spiritualized songs. And last night I got to see J Spaceman in his full Acoustic Mainlines glory. And it was glorious. When he sang "Stop Your Crying" and "Ladies and Gentleman...," I believed him.
The eyes are finally drying now and I am feeling happy to be alive. Feels like the New Year has started early for me.
At the Vista last night... definitely in the Top 10 of my all-time bestest shows.
