Oh my oh my oh my.
Just woke up after have slept 20 hours. I missed my flight in NY and after that it was all a disaster. My whole journey got delayed maybe 10 hours and had to add two more stops before finally arriving in Stockholm (from Austin!!!)...to find they  forgot my luggage someway along the ride. Yeya. So with no bags but a heart full of emotions I took a cab back to my brothers apt. It was snowing outside and the grey buildings along they highway didnt seem to happy to see me. But C'est La Vie...
The tour is over. Ive done nothing but touring for the last 14 months and it feels strange to know I will be back "home" for more then a week. I feel exhausted yet nostalgic yet thankful. A stranger feeling is that home doesnt really feel like home. What is home? Yada yada. An island I would say. But no man is an island... yada yada.
Was reading some of your comments and some tears came to my eye. Thank you for making it worth it. Thank you for holding my heart when Im to tired to hold it. It has been a hard muthafucking ride but we somehow made it out alive and now we are all back to square one. Back to the soil.
Thank you for this opportunity. I feel like such a beginner, like this all happened too soon. God damn it I can't even sing yet but let's grow together... Be the forgiving mother!
Its 4.30 pm and the sun is going down soon again. To all you journalists; that is why we Swedes make good music.
Thanks and goodnight,
Little L.

You special, special girl.... ..Why must things around us go on as if they are so ordinary when the ones leading that life are so extraordinary?.... ..Keep breathing. Have faith. And smile even when you think you cannot. We are always our own surprises...and the most delicious one at that.

this reminded me of a song... .. ..Written by: Ben Taylor (James Taylor's son) .. .. ..I'm an island ..Everyone can see that I'm an island ..I've got ocean just about ..Everywhere that I can see .. ..So I'll be stranded unless you come to me ..And I'm lonely .. ..I would rather fall from grace completely, ..than let you change my mind ..I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun. .. ..Can't be too careful ..About the friends you keep around you ..Some won't ever let you down ..Some who'll fail you every day? .. ..And it's a blatant disrespect of privacy ..It enrages me .. ..But I would rather fall from grace completely, ..than let you change my mind ..I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun. .. ..I'm an island ..Can't you understand me I'm an Island ..And I'm finally by myself ..The way I've got to be .. ..Now that's exactly the thing that's been killing me .. ..I would rather fall from grace completely, ..than let you change my mind ..And I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun ..I would rather bet my life against the rising of the sun .. ..

Being an aid worker, I can somewhat relate to how you are feeling. Embrace your home, your folks, the ones you love. Take your time, take it in. The pieces will start to fuse together again...You give so much through your music, it's ok to relax and take some back. Rest well. x

You Are Awesome. Just Got "Youth Novels" Last Night At The Record Store I Work At. We Haven't Had Any Copies Of It For Like Weeks!! But We Just Got Some, And Those Are Selling Pretty Fast Also. But The Album Is Incredible. I Love Your Voice And I Know There's More To Come From You. You Are Just Awesome. Definitely One Of The Best Of '09 Thus Far.

I'm still trying to come off the high I've had since Wednesday night when I saw you in Dallas. You are amazing and very talented. I don't think you were a beginner at all. The stage presence and energy is there. Keep it up and come back soon.

You are a great singer and a brilliant performer. Don't feel like a beginner. I saw you on Carson and I swear that you are leagues above most. Anyway, your soul shines through and that is far more than can be said for most.

It must be surreal being on tour for 14 months, and after living on the road come back to a home that must feel totally different than when you left it. Home for only about a week? Two different lives being lived by the same tired and excited soul. Don't know about the can't being able to sing yet part though. Try sending an MP3 of yourself to yourself, you may be rather shocked. lol

i felt overwhelmed right now. cried a little. got on myspace and saw you posted a blog. thank you for being so open. ..after i took my friend to see you in Dallas, he had a gig in Austin himself the next day. and I told him you would be there. How lucky. I am so in love with "little bit" i play it so many times a day, different versions of it. I guess it helps. I am a photographer. But a journalist as well. so that line made me smile. ..i dont blame you for sleeping so long. some times life is too draining, you need more than the night, more than that time people usually sleep. Im the buildings were probably very happy to see you. maybe they were sad that you did not seem happy. i am greatful for having found you. I was researching to find a story to pitch for a magazine and ened up connected to you. maybe two weeks before you got to texas. so, although our eyes did not meet, im sure our souls did. and that makes it easier, right now.
