I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.
For a while we lived in a tent we'd pitched inside his parents' house and we slept on pillows.
I had such an amazing experience on 'The Pillowman' that it was hard to think what else is going to live up to that.
Before a long-haul flight, buy yourself a cheap, big, comfortable pillow. It makes a huge difference.
There's a lot more responsibility at home, so a tour is like the opposite for me. It's like a breath of fresh air.
I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while, but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day, and you go in and do a sound check, and you do the show, and then bam you're gone.
I used to suffer from a lot of regret while touring. Regret at having to leave certain places, people and situations, or just a beautiful day.
When I first started touring, we had a crappy van, and we would all share rooms. So for many years as a grown adult woman, I would share a bed with a bandmate, whether it would be Jimmy Tamborello from the Postal Service or Pierre De Reeder from Rilo Kiley, just a pillow barrier between us sleeping on the same bed.
Chilling out on the bed in your hotel room watching television, while wearing your own pajamas, is sometimes the best part of a vacation.
After two kids, I hit the pillow and go straight to sleep.
