Diary update!

Wed 27 Jun 2012


Diary update!

I thought I'd write you a note or two, since it sure has been a while...

You may have wondered what and where I've been and I also ask myself the same but as I may have mentioned before, sometimes answers can't be answered by questions. As the great Alan Watts would say: 'Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.'

Well, to let you in a little I haven't really been lonely except for the ongoing existential loneliness, but a rather transformative quarter life crisis has kept me company. As well as the sun, mountains and the second half of Rolling Stones: Tattoo You. I've been embedded in Egyptian cotton and a rogue hand has slapped me where needed. A few car crashes later I can also say how very privileged I am to be able to indulge in any type of crisis so in order for it to not have been in vain I have captured some of it for you. I've immersed myself in trying to figure out what actually is going on inside of me when the lights go out and the music stops and to deal with the complexities and aftermath of life and love I've been writing like my life depends on it. Which I realize it actually does. There is no such thing as "time off" if you're on the search. I'm on the search and I've been lost and found and lost and found. What I'm trying to say is that I am still alive and well, humbled and thankful, blue and blessed, scared, aching and searching. Younger and older then I've ever been. And I hope you haven't forgotten about me as I haven't forgotten about you and I cannot wait to share it with you! Both through music and through my photographic escapades so please clear some room in your heart and mind and hard drive or whatever they are called as I will be updating shortly.

Love truly and always,

LL

    I first heard I follow rivers on my drive to Sicily from here in Germany. Of course like many others the song has stayed with me, having it's way with me daily. At work, in bed, while I'm cooking. I can hear your passion, the love, the hurt and wanted to you to know I too feel the same. With Love, David

    I feel as if you are able to articulate feelings that I have not been able to put into words. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work.

    Thank you for being a beautiful person. My fondness of you is igniting me with inspiration and passion. May we find a connection for my desires to contact you have led me here and so, this is it:

    I feel they got your age wrong LL;
    So far, you are 26 years + 9 months + everything before that.
    It is strange that you are impatience at times,
    and natural that you grieve when the beloved die.
    Truthfully, I do not know how old you are.

    Very delayed laugh at "... I've been embedded in Egyptian cotton and a rogue hand has slapped me where needed..." I can't believe I didn't notice that the first time I read the blog. I must have been multi-tasking. Well I hope it means what I think it means cuz it sounds fun. 19 more days until the Fleetwood Mac trib album comes out....

    your note reminds me of Keats when he wrote ''Ay, in the very temple of Delight, / Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine'

    Dear Sirs LL,

    my name is Paolo Ferrari, I'm italian and I'm a DJ/Remixer/Producer. I produced several dance songs with some record companies. I'm very interested to realize a new version of your song “I follow rivers”. Would you be so kind as to give me your permission?

    I would be most grateful if you would look into this matter as soon as possible.

    I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Yours sincerely,
    Paolo Ferrari (paoloferraridj@yahoo.it)

    at you already not enough time also can and isn't present to accept the invitation. We in Russia have place, an initial place.
    If you will be in time in it 2012г simply to visit here and to abstract. it not mystical place, and simply source. and properties of development of the carried-out relations with reality is already your business.
    it is just necessary to charge basic data to you and all your group. time you are such fighters for properties of reality.

    Dear Lykke,
    I hope you are reading this. It's so nice to hear that you are thinking of us, as we are of you. This diary entry really made my day. I hope you're doing well with your new fiancee and upcoming projects! I'm so excited that you're writing and doing so many cool new things with awesome people. I love your Silver Springs cover to no end; it already has about 100+ plays on my iTunes. So beautiful. And I love Come Near, along with the rest of Ingrid, Vol. 1. Anyways, I just want you to know how much of an inspiration you are to me, and that I have been following your music and life since Youth Novels. The night I saw you live (November 17, 2011) was one of the greatest nights of my life. And I hope you don't think this message is creepy because I just wanted to tell you how much you and your music changed my life. I would be lost if I didn't have your songs to listen to every day. Thank you for making beautiful music and please, please never stop doing what you're doing. I love you.
    -Niki

    Lykke! Är det möjligt att nå dig genom ett privat meddelande? En hejdundrande tanke slog mig precis och jag skulle därför vilja ställa en förfrågan som det är upp till dig att nappa på.

    Today was a shit day. But I just checked my email and saw this and now I feel a bit better. I feel a little more sure that my searching won't all be for nothing, that there will be something beautiful up ahead, that I won't always be a wounded rhyme. I am so thrilled by the possibility of new music from you. Thank you for your words.

    It's really lovely to hear from you and know that we (fans) are still in your heart. I've been expanding my "cup" (an awareness and acceptance thing I practice) and there's definitely room for more of your music, photography and words of wisdom in my heart. Looking forward to more. Stay curious ♥ Namaste

    Love you truly and always too, Lykke.
