"what are you doing here?"

There are moments in our lives that things just drastically change. Usually, these moments are accompanied by music that gives us a level of comfort incredibly hard to attain through something else. One of these moments happened to me in May 2006 when I graduated college. Not only was I caught in a middle of a frenzy, but this quick and sudden change (lets face it, we all know we'll graduate but do we ever really get down to it and face it?) forced me to not revel in the moment. In my quest for comfort through night-swimming and long conversation with fellow graduates, I ended up in a record store in Boston to find some peace of mind. In the back aisle, with the $9.99 cds I found one with an interesting name: Kings of Convenience. I asked the guy to play it for me. Within five seconds of the first tune "Homesick" I was taken back. Whatever I was looking for, I found it in this song. I found it with the lyrics. I found a home away from home. It engulfed the four years I spent away from Mexico City and it also showed that college was yet another chapter closing. But it was alright. It would all be alright. So I share this song with you, whoever you are, to see if it helps you or at least, gives you an enjoyable moment throughout the day.
