I too NEVER listen to music when I am walking on the Camino. No podcasts, no telephone, nada! I want to feel the earth and wind, the wind against my face, hear the sounds around me, even if it is a highway and the smells even if it is cows**t fertilizer.I preferred to hear the music of where I was. So I listened to cowbells, birdsong, and cuckoos.
I didn't listen to music while I walked but if I had it would have been "This too shall pass " by Tyler Stenson, and "Never give up" by Olivia Newton John.I thought it would be fun to read other responses to this because I love listening to music and learning of new music. I will start this and hopefully get some great replies and new music to listen to.
I didn't listen to music all the time but I did listen a lot and I absolutely started my walk every morning with this song. My walk in 2018 was my dark night of the soul journey of faith basically. I truly felt led so this is the song I started mornings with:
Leonard Cohen
I also will say I had the sound track to the movie "The Way".
I love this song.I thought it would be fun to read other responses to this because I love listening to music and learning of new music. I will start this and hopefully get some great replies and new music to listen to.

I'm working on a playlist myself. I saw Leonard Cohen in concert 12 or so years ago - he was 74. Many of his songs are (I accidentally posted at this point, EDITED TO ADD: so many of his songs would be apprpriate to the Camino; he was a very spiritual person, a seeker, for instance, "Anthem":I thought it would be fun to read other responses to this because I love listening to music and learning of new music.

I was also thinking about Tyler Stenson's "Best Laid Plans," which ends the wonderful film, "Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago."I didn't listen to music while I walked but if I had it would have been "This too shall pass " by Tyler Stenson, and "Never give up" by Olivia Newton John.
I remember one final day where I was walking for ever and ended up alone that day. I had only to get up one more hill which was only 2kms more, but, by that time, with blistered feet and a disheartened spirit it was all I could do to carry on. It was 2016 so I still just had a mini mp3 player with me, and then the song "I see your true colours" came on. It was a moment where I felt as if the Divine was speaking these words to me. "You with the sad eyes, don't be discouraged... I see your true colours shining through." I put that on repeat. I cried my way up that hill.I thought it would be fun to read other responses to this because I love listening to music and learning of new music.

"Once on the camino, you are always on the camino." Yes.I remember one final day where I was walking for ever and ended up alone that day.

I have made a spotify playlist recently. I hope that I can share in my playlist songs that might show up at just the right moment for pilgrims on the journey. Believe me, it is not an easy journey, and there are times you may be disheartened, but know that you walk with all that have come before and all that are on the journey. Once on the camino, you are always on the camino.
Buen Camino
I am especially enjoying tracks by Rob Riccardo. I wonder if he has walked the camino?
