Vietnamese food is about the balance of flavours, of sweet, salty and sour – there is no measuring device that can ever match your own taste buds.
I love Feist because her voice is like satin or something nice and smooth but sometimes her songs, her music, the way she sings things cuts into me like a tailor’s scissors right into the depths of my fabric heart.
A few days prior to the concert, which I was booked to see, I got an email saying, “I am the social coordinator for Feist and am wondering if you have any space available in your class …”
Imagine! my disbelief and excitement! Feist – my heroine in my house – the place where I play her songs at least once a day for years and years. She wants to learn about Vietnamese cooking with me?! Whoa!!
But after two days of sending emails back and forth, it didn’t happen. I think she ended up doing the Jools Holland show instead.
As she played, solo, her guitar to The Bad In Each Other my arms flared in goose bumps. It was like, she found out everything there is to know and put it in songs. They turned every popular old song into another arrangement – something dark, something ironic, something poetic, something feisty.
These are only moments you can treasure. To think, she was meant to be coming over. Leslie Feist in my home. Feist and me. How would she be? Would I stumble into speechlessness to be in her presence? Maybe next Spring upon her return to London, I am told to expect.
