36 degrees at dusk in an old Caïro bar where the locals have a (secret) beer and the overhead fans do nothing but move cigarette smoke around. the waiter scowls at everyone, but gossips like his life depends on it. I’m reading Cavafy. I’m making pictures. I couldn’t be happier.

Voice like a cathedral. Lyrics like a midnight walk in the rain. His songs took you by your hand through love & loss and never let you go again. Brel & Bowie & bright beauty in the beast of darkness. Thanks for saving my heart, #ScottWalker , travel on well x
