It’s another bloody Prince song, I’m so sorry – Mountains. I love how the chord structure ascends and the vocals – “It’s only mountains and the sea / There’s nothing greater than you and me” – feel like an ascension. I’d like to think, when I shuffle off this mortal coil, I’m going to be ascending as opposed to descending. I think I’ve been a good girl.

I cried a few days ago because I couldn't face moving my stuff out of my house because of termites. I cried out of exhaustion from trying to make it so they wouldn't get termite gas on everything, especially my kid's stuff. I cried at the end of the day.
I wish I'd never smoked.
