A few songs to wash up those beautiful memories if you've returned or fire you up if you're planning or thinking about going walkabout:
1. Midnight on the Interstate - Trampled by Turtles
Reminds me of striding out of Leon at midnight and guided by the pearly light of the full moon.
If you can get someone to go with you and know the passage is relatively safe, it’s a great way to beat the heat and a very different and unique experience to walking by day. Just to reiterate: DO NOT GO ALONE! Like the Nike advert says, “Just two it!”
2. Dancing in the Dark - Bruce Springsteen
When you get up and hit the road before dawn you can swing your sticks and sing this is one to stay awake.
3. I’m On Fire - Bruce Springsteen
What you scream to the heavens when the soil on the sizzling Meseta is burning your feet through the soles of your boots.
4. Lay Here - The Mulligan Brothers
You’ve finished your takeaway bocadillo, your boots are off, you’re getting a fresh air pedicure and the grass is tickling you between the toes.
‘I’ll lay here against this tree stump in the shade just five more minutes,’ you convince yourself. 20 minutes later you’re still there.
5. Wherever I Wake Up - Suitcase Junket
It’s with excitement and anticipation wherever we wake up on the Camino we have the words of Jack Kerouac in our heads. “There’s nowhere to go but everywhere!”
6. The Wanderer - U2 & Johnny Cash
“I went out walking, through streets paved with gold” Johnny Cash sings. We do the same walking the streets, trails and paths paved in the golden Spanish sunlight.
7. Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - David Gray
Just as we do passing our fellow ´grinos on the road.
8. It Won’t Be Long - Branches
Until we finally make it to the albergue. Until we finally get that coffee we’ve been craving all morning. Until we finally get to kick off our boots. Until we sink our teeth into our 444th bocadillo of the trip. “It won’t be long” - four motivating words that get us through the day.
9. The Weight - The Band.
The issue we all wrestle with as we work out what to take, leave at home or discard along the way from our backpacks.
10. The Hardest Part - Coldplay
The blisters? That monster of a mountain from St. Jean Pied de Port to Roncevalles. Trying to get some sleep in the albergue? Missing friends, family and pets whilst away? Refraining from pulling the leg hairs of the carrier bag rustlers that wake you prematurely? What’s the hardest part for you?
