Foreigner in Madrid

I’ve been hearing my song on the radio more and more lately and it finally dawned on me what this fleeting moment of fame means to me. When you move to a new neighbourhood, or city, or country it takes time to be or to feel accepted. But it’s not only a factor of time. It’s also necessary to take steps to become integrated into the society.

So I’ve come to realize that this song is another one of those events or moments, like when my first child was born or when I became self employed, that makes me feel that I’m really a part of this society and not just another foreigner living away from home.
