This is war
Hacía siglos que no escuchaba esto, y ahora no puedo parar. Me lleva a aquellos días en Barcelona con mi hermana la flakurria, esperando la respuesta de mi solicitud de una beca en Nueva Zelanda para hacer un doctorado. Me lleva a ese momento en el que recibí el correo en mitad de la noche, 12h de adelanto al otro lado del mundo: "Querida Aitana tenemos el placer de anunciarle..." Ese nudo en la boca del estomago, todos los pelos de punta, una mezcla de angustia y euforia, de miedo y alegría, y la perfecta banda sonora:
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!

I haven't listened to this song in ages, now I cannot stop. It takes me back to those days in Barcelona with my sister, waiting for the answer to my application to a scholarship to do a PhD in New Zealand. It takes me back to that moment when I got the email in the middle of the night, 12h ahead in the other side of the world: "Dear Aitana, It's our pleasure to inform you..." A knot in my stomach, goosebumps everywhere, a mix of anxiety and euphoria, the fear and happiness, and the perfect soundtrack:
To the right, To the left
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
We will fight to the death!
To the edge of the earth
It's a brave new world
It's a brave new world!
