last day
The day before yesterday was my last day in New York (for now). I had decided to stop there for a while because I've always found it extremely difficult to move on and readjust after a tour. It's impossible for me to start focusing on everyday things as I still spend a lot of time reminiscing and wishing those special days had never ended. It can take a very, very long time. I always try to keep the memories vivid as long as possible. I figured that New York would be the best place for a stopover and to indulge in reminiscences of moments when I saw and met Debbie, days which are the most special and most beautiful days in my life.
I miss her very much.
I wrote a lot, I read a lot and I dreamt a lot. I listened to some music, as well.
On the last evening I went to see Heather Nova, a singer-songwriter from Bermuda whose melancholic songs often reflect my own mood and frame of mind.
I've always liked her music. It has accompanied me since her release of "Siren" in 1998, which is still one of my favorite albums.
It was her first show in the States in eight years ("I timed it pretty well. I skipped the whole Bush era"). 
I didn't see her last show in Hamburg in October and so I wanted to take the opportunity and see her play in New York while I was there.
I finished my White Chocolate Mocca and entered the bar when everybody else was already inside. I still got a good spot where I could see the stage. Heather started the show right away. 
She played a lot of my favorite songs like "Heart And Shoulder", "London Rain", "Winter Blue", "Island" and "Out In New Mexico." She dedicated "I Miss My Sky" to Amelia Earheart which tells a story from her point of view about how she never crashed into the ocean but survived on a deserted island.

During my stay in New York I updated the Portland ( http://ontheboundary.livejournal.com/142124.html ) and San Francisco ( http://ontheboundary.livejournal.com/139861.html ) show reports and made them a bit more detailed.
