9 July
Max has found a wedding in the countryside and a film starring my first genuinely talented signing for me, and both remind me how wonderful friends and art are.
Groove Armada has a song, My Friend, which is pretty much the only song I have ever listened to and thought “I want that played at my funeral.”
Friends for me are the people who generously share their experience and wisdom, and make me a better person in the sharing. The friendships forged in London shaped the course of my two years, and the friends made at the Evangelical Alliance set the English tone of my stay. This wedding was the penultimate activity I would share with them before leaving for Australia.
Once I started working at a specific level with artists, I experienced an exchange of ideas and experiences through talent that came very close to the exchange of true friendship. Much as I make fun of Screaming Fangurls, I am in fact one of them, because I find connection through art to be a profound one. And it is not hard to see why you would develop a feeling of connection with a good artist through your experience of their art.
The overwhelming memories of the wedding and the film for me are the contentment of seeing two people who love each other come together for life, and the continuing joy I experienced being able to help a talented artist. Which is why so much art is about friends, and so many friends like to share art.
Whenever I'm down
I call on you my friend
A helping hand you lend
In my time of need
And all that's going on
Is really going on
Just one of those days
You say the right things
To keep me moving on
To keep me going strong
