Oh, that's why I loved this one...

Going through my CDs, I rediscovered Kathryn Mostow, who I know about because she left a demo at the shop. Sweet, pure voice, a little bit country (girl + guitar) and a little bit like Vienna Teng, actually. All happy & positive. But the song that I absolutely LOVE is called "India", from a sister to her brother, and it makes me want to turn it into something with grown-up Sakura and Touya. It wouldn't be a songfic, since no one will have heard it. (Except artyartie. I'm sending her with Tori.)


Went away to India
I was only 17
still feathering the empty nest
you left behind

You would sometimes drop a line
long letters with words
that spoke to me
Broke through my suburban reverie

And every month or two
you'd call
from some far and distant town
You talked of dust on sunbaked ground

And it felt so good to hear your voice
across the miles, across the sea
connecting you,
connecting me
