The onset of darkness

The Beatles song, For No One, is playing in my ear at the moment. The song always reminds me of winter. Hmm.. Actually, a lot of Beatles songs reminds me of winter. But this particular song reminds me of my Transit days, when I walked to and from Flinder St Station to and from work every day. It was a nice walk down St Kilda Rd, and, inevitably in winter, it was dark when I left work in the evenings. A great time to think, gather my thoughts, and just.. walk.

Actually, now that I think of it, the song doesn't remind me of winter. It reminds me of darkness. I used to wake up to this song when my alarm went off early to head to the airport for my interstate trips. Waking up 4-5am in the dark, getting ready for a long day ahead, heading to the airport with this haunting song ringing in my ear.

Winter. Darkness. Beatles. June. Still.
