Letters From The Sky - Civil Twilight

       When we moved up here, we chose to drive up. We drove for about 4 days, stopping at hotels around 11 pm each day. During this time, I couldn't talk to any of my old friends because I lost my phone. I listened to this song the entire time we were driving and hearing it now makes me remember that feeling of solitude. Just the rhythm of the song brings up memories of driving on the highway in silence. It paints the picture of leaving somewhere that you lived for years. I've been listening to it a bit more often lately and it brings up memories, but not sadness. It brings back the awesome feeling of no one knowing where I was. This song makes me relive those memories, but I relive them as if I'm who I am now. During the trip I was incredibly sad, the solitude gnawing at me each day of the trip. Now, I just remember the feeling of having a new life, a new door opening to this new place. This song brings up the solitude in a good way because that solitude changed me, made me who I am now. I'm grateful for that feeling of detachment, the loneliness during the trip. I'm glad I left that life behind.
