Australia Street

Since my friend has gone back to France, we've messaged each other and skyped and already planning where we could go when we next see each other in person. The other day she recommended be to listen to an Australian band who I'd never heard of before called Sticky Fingers, who she listens to and associates with her time visiting. So whenever I hear the song 'Australia Street' I think of her and it's pretty amazing that I know that on the other side of the world, my friend is going about her day listening to the same track as me and bopping along to this upbeat, laid back song.

From their 'Caress the soul' album, I feel like this song actually captures Australian summers really well. Like when you get the chance to go on day trips with friends to the beach, with ice-creams and blazing sun, but the happiness of holidays where you don't need to worry about doing homework or anything really. The time when you can completely relax and have fun, this is what it sounds like. A lot of their songs from the album have that really tropical feel to it, for some reason reminding me a bit of reggae. And their accents are so Australian too, which I think my friend really appreciates.

At the moment I'm listening to the album while doing homework because it gives me the illusion that the work I have to do isn't that much or that hard, that I don't need to stress and don't need to rush. When in reality, I have so much to do, it's really hard, I do need to stress and I need to get it done soon as. I really can't afford to procrastinate, yet, I still haven't started yet.
