These boots are old.
These boots are old, but they haven’t had a chance to walk many steps, because I loved them too much and didn't want them to get old. When my aunt gifted them to me, years ago, she probably didn’t know that they would have outlived her. I’ve always kept them in a sacred mental space. I’ve always kept in mind the association between her and her boots.
I decided to wear them during the recent music video.
The moment that first wave hit me during the shooting of the video, I knew that it was the last time I wore them. Because they deserve to never be forgotten again.
Every time I watch the video of “Letter to God”, that wave will splash on my aunt’s boots. And she will never be forgotten. And I will be living that moment in Tuscany one more time, when she told me that they were boots of great quality and very expensive. And I told her, “I know zia, you always buy the best things for me”. And she said, “Yes, because I love you very much”.
