Little Fish

Little Fish is a band that gets closer to the the fans, the root of the story and of the song, as comfortable playing house parties as they are the Royal Albert Hall.

    Thank You The Night.

My desire was to walk into the hotel. As soon as I walked in the hallway, I felt wings growing out of me. Words tangled in my throat as I tried to tell the receptionist who I was. The words “Juju Sophie, room 312” slid from my mouth. As I said this, I felt myself lifting beyond the sun and over a bed of clouds. It had been a long day and I was tired.

I could hear some children making some noise in the room next door. I wanted to give them some of the poems I had written to get between their teeth. Get them thinking. Get them to dress themselves. Imagination is a form of reality; a room of dreams that we can escape to and find refuge in during hard times: one is so easily able to trip over the past when running towards the future. Nothing in life has ever pardoned me for being the musician that I am. Every day that I live is the last of days. This night, I invited myself to the hotel room. I wanted to protect my sacred heart from the the mirror where I meet myself daily. This day, my reflection and I had bumped heads and I wanted space. 

The twelve strikes of midnight from the church clock keep my eyes open as my pupils dilate in the roads I had once walked. The moon is whole and is high in the sky. I ask for the moon’s forgiveness for at times, I had forgotten her. I hear the sound of my footsteps echo in my mind and as my shadow walks, I see a light coming from an open door which reminds me of the coldness of the night and of the life I sometimes live in. As a young insomniac I don’t stop to talk to anyone. My hair floats in the wind and my legs plant themselves as I walk, roots of a tree. Night and day shares nothing different to me anymore, please look after me.

This night is gentle with me. It helps me recover. The night gently caresses my head as I rest and at dawn, one again, my body takes fire and becomes a rainbow. As I wake, I hear the sound of children. Their voices reciting the poems I had left with them. I feel the obscurity of my body and think of myself a child again, amongst them. I dress and feel alive. The day pushes all us humans to fight and live with other humans. I see you gave birth to me and I am loyal to living. As I walk out, I no longer feel my wings and think to myself that I may well be that albatross that fell on the crowd of people in the market square but I know that I did not come to the world by accident. I am an ordinary person in an infinite world. I am indeed myself. I am me and the world we live in is a marvellous Rubik’s Cube.

    Thank You The Night.
